A Perfect Stay – Thanks to Sui Nan! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I was a new traveler in Beijing and felt completely lost at first. Then I met Sui Nan, who manages Happy Bear Youth Hostel. She was like a miracle for me – helping me from the hostel to The Great Wall of China and staying with me like an old friend. Without her, my trip would have been very difficult, but because of her kindness, I even caught my train on time. This hostel is very well organized, clean, and comfortable. It has a gaming zone, a nice café, and everything nearby. But the best part is the people – thanks to Sui Nan, I felt that in China everyone knows how to love and care, no matter your religion, race, or country. I will always see Sui Nan as my friend, and I strongly recommend all tourists to stay at Happy Bear Youth Hostel. It’s not just a place to sleep – it feels like home.

The hostel is super conveniently located close to metro, restaurant, cute vintage stores on Gulou Street, within walking distance from the Drum and Bell tower and the Lamma Temple. Great nightlife options! The hostel's interior is very cozy, it looks like a small cottage! Waking up in the morning in the hutong and seeing the old roofs stretching out in front of you gives you a real feel of authentic Beijing life. The restaurant serves tasty food in a comfortable setting, it's very easy to meet people (fellow travelers or just regular visitors). The hostel is across from the China Academy of Theater and there is a beautiful theater + cafe just down the alley. Staff is friendly and accomodating, use google translator if you run into communication problems. I highly recommend this hostel to solo travelers (I stayed in the 2 bed female dorm) and anyone looking for a calm, cozy place in the center of Beijing.

It's a small hotel in a very nice location. Nothing fancy, just a great place to stay for not more than 2-3 nights as rooms do not have cabinets to leave your clothes. There is a restaurant on the ground floor which is also an entrance to the hotel and reception. You can buy souvenirs just a couple of meters from the hotel, there is couple of local family owned restaurants, convenience store across hotel and most important small craft beer place not that far from it.

All hostels in Beijing

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

Excellent location, 24 hour reception, good backpacker vibes, it was easy to make friends and go out to dinner. I don't understand the horrible reviews on hostel world, the place was fine (although it helps if you speak Chinese or have experience in 1 star Chinese hotels)

Comfy bed, social, washing machine, sold drinks and snacks, bathroom was cleaned regularly, lots of common areas. Cheapest place available in Beijing (although still expensive for what it was). A great location near the subway and a small shop was nearby.

Good value for money especially for Beijing. Much cheaper than Peking Youth Hostel and 10 times the atmosphere. Great common area that was busy and met many people, mostly Russians escaping their country. I am amazed that so many reviews complained of having to make and take down their bedding - what a bunch of whiners.
