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.

The bathroom/shower was always clean as well as the common area. I loved that they always had hot water for guests and the use of the microwave, and, most of all, I forgot some really important things and they sent me my package to my next destination in a timely fashion. I’m so grateful for the staff there. They have so many guests coming and going, I know they’re really busy and get all kinds of guests, but they’re really kind and patient.

    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.
