Hostelworld says

Hostelworld guests rated Peking International Hostel the most popular in Beijing at the 2011 Hoscars and it's no wonder - this clean, modern and charming hostel has boutique-style common areas and a rooftop restaurant as well as vases of fresh flowers throughout which provide "a welcome respite from the dusty Beijing streets", as one traveller said. Our visitors tell us this is "more than just a hostel, [it's like] a little quaint boutique hotel. The perfect place to rest after a day in the crowded city centre".

Property Description

The fabulous Peking International Youth Hostel is your home-from-home in Beijing. We’re located only two minutes’ walk from the subway station.

Here, you are in the middle of Beijing’s most colourful Hutong district, just a few blocks north of the Forbidden City, just east of Houhai and Qianhai Lakes. We’re set in a quaint, charming lane Nan Luo Gu Xiang in downtown Beijing.

We offer you a huge choice of rooms, budget dorms, affordable double rooms and luxury rooms. The dorms are large and spacious. Great care has been taken in furnishing our spacious rooms to the highest standard, with top quality bunks and excellent bathrooms with showers.

You can dine in our lobby or enjoy a cocktail in our bar. Why not come for afternoon tea in our Terrace Lounge, overlooking the Botanic Gardens?

This is the perfect spot for your short break in Beijing – we’re near everything that is hot and happening. Catch a spectacular show or a profound play of Peking Opera or Chinese Kungfu. Whiz around galleries, museums and the Forbidden City. Why not ask our concierge for ideas or an itinerary created just for you? Go out and have fun, then come back home for some five-star luxury.

We’re just 25 minutes’ walk from the Forbidden City and only 12 minutes’ walk from Beihai Park.

We have a daily 3.5hr hiking trip from Jinshanling to Simatai great wall. We can also facilitate pick-up and drop-off at the airport.

We also have a sister hostel - Peking Yard Hostel - just 10 minutes away by taxi. It is a 200-year-old courtyard-style house. It’s one of the most beautiful hostels you will find and is also here on Hostelworld.com.

Severe mold issue in the bathroom, staff does not speak English (at all), to avoid if you are looking for the whole "youth hostel" experience, this is not the place to socialise.

The only two good things about this place is the location and some of the staff being very helpful. If you don’t speak Chinese they can help a bit The dorm bathroom ceiling had a huge hole in it and you could see pipes. The shower had a lot of black mold in it. It was extremely dirty. Hutong are old but this was beyond age issues The beds are Chinese style- meaning they are very hard, prepare for that. The door to my dorm did not shut all the way easily so often it would get left unlocked.

The location is good, in a busy hutong area with lots of food options and small shops around. The hostel was quiet although the area is very busy with lots of tourists. However, the bathroom was dirty at some points, it should be cleaned more often with the amount of people using. Same for the room, the floor was sticky and I don’t think has been cleaned in a while…

We're located in a charming lane, just five minutes' walk from Houhai Lake and 20 minutes from the Forbidden City. I recommend people definitely visit the web-like maze of Hutongs. For fun our guests like to have some nice drinks and play the free guitar we have around here. We also serve Illy Coffee in our beautiful café. We cater to all ages and have baby chairs as well as wheelchair accessibility on the first floor.
