It’s just a walking distance from Ximen Station and Ximen walking district. There are a lot of nearby shops and restaurants in the area.

Mary Philippines

I loved my stay here, the staff were very approchable, the water heater is working properly with high water pressure, the room air conditioner works fantastic... And they granted my request to be in the bottom bunk, Kind of noisy outside during the mornings though, but hey... Its really good for what you pay for... And they even have free coffee. :)

Jun Philippines

Good location in Xiemending with about 4 blocks to MRT (Mass Rapid Transit) station. The room and washroom was cleaned. So were the sheets and blankets. Good basic back pack hotel for singles or couples. I was with my teenage son. So we reserved a double bunk beds with private bath. Free water with water dispenser machine, free local maps. Many restaurants, shops near by. Staff spoke good English. I felt safe in terms of security.
