Typical backpacker, very popular for the price. Location is really good, but hostel has way too many beds and so few bathrooms. Lounge doesnt allow drinks or food from outside. But from what you paid considering Beijing is still worth if you are in a budget. Its pretty decent so not a scam like other low budget hostels

Fernando China

It was all good, plus there was a nice community of travellers

Anna Switzerland

Leo hostel was one of the best hostels I've stayed in China. the staff are professional and efficient as well as friendly. and were able to answer any question I may have had. there was a Christmas party that this hostel organized and it was a wonderful event and great to meet ready other travelers who are away from home during the holidays. it was such a fabulous idea to have a Christmas party and I really enjoyed it. Leo hostel is conveniently located near Qian Men station near the centre of the city. for this reason, it is so easy to get around. there are many alleyways street foods and small shops nearby. the streets are always bustling in the day and the night. and there's a great ambiance. in both the hostels and the surrounding area. I would recommend this hostel for anyone looking to enjoy their time in Beijing.
