Guest Reviews
- França (8/5): - Das jovens da portaria. Ótimo inglês, boas dicas. A escada era muito antiga e desconfortável. Degraus estreitos e perigosos. E sem corrimão. Descia segurando na parede com medo de cair. E a recepção é muito apertada e o espaço para bagagem retida é muito pequeno.

- Silja (9/5): Der var en del danskere, hvilket jeg værdsatte - måske jeg bare var heldig - Rar og rolig atmosfære Stenhårde senge - i hvert fald på sovesalene
- Lucia (10/5): -
- MimieRod (10/5): - Convenient location near metro and in a popular hutong
- Silvia (10/5): - La struttura si trova all’interno di un hutong nella zona di Nanluoguxiang. Siete proprio all’interno della zona principale e vicinissimi alla metro, quindi potete comodamente raggiungere qualsiasi attrazione. Il personale è molto gentile e disponibile.

- Tracey (10/5): Quirky, perfect location & high quality rooms at a great price - Quirky, superb location, bar & restaurant on site. Staff were super friendly & helpful. Comfy sofas to relax on! Nothing! I’d stay here again in a heartbeat.
- Valentina (10/5): Great Clean and Convenient - I have loved being there!!! I can’t wait to visit again Peking Hostal and China. Absolutely nothing
- Yee Ching (8/5): 不錯 如果來北京可以再來住 - 地點方便 附近已有地鐵跟巴士站
一出門口已經有食店 我訂的時3人房+獨立衛生間
但給我的 應該是2間3人房共用一個衛生間….
- William (7/5): Bon etablissement, principalement pour l’emplacement et la qualité du personnel. - Super emplacement dans une rue très vivante et centrale, et le personnel est adorable, souriant et toujours là pour vous aider. Les matelas ne sont pas très confortables.

- Utop446 (8/5): Effective layover centrally located in historic Beijing - I used this place as a day stay during my long layover between flights. Great location smack on the middle of historic Beijing, close to a subway stop (line 6), easy to book. Basic rooms but nice mattress, only low berths used for guests so no climbing, AC, curtains, magnetic card to enter room, well priced. Very nice people at reception, both in the morning and afternoon. Shower/bathroom not developed (mind you, my precious destination was Japan). An upper small window in the room opened directly into the terrace or a space where others were talking loudly in the afternoon.
- REJANE (1/5): Menos 0 - Não gostei de nada . Tudo foi péssimo. Limpeza, atendimento, nada é como mostra nas fotos. O banheiro público da casa estava sujo e não tinha torneira. Havia um cano que jorrava água. Vídeos das janelas sujas, os pés das mesas e cardos, a recepção com caixotes. Pedi um quarto individual e me ofereceram beliche com outras pessoas. Tive que pagar uma noite sem ter ficado. Não entendo como a Booking.com aceita locais como esses. Um "Hostel" sem qualquer estrutura de higiene.

- Lee Ching (7/5): Pleasant stay - It is located in a prime location, ideal for solo traveller. The staffs are friendly and helpful, got the opportunity to have a nice chat with other travellers. The noise at corridor can be clearly heard in the room at night.
- luis fellipe (7/5): Decent - Location is really good.
But if your height is over 130cm, you will probably hit your on the roof of one of the male rooms… for the price they charge, they should probably get better beds and the lockers were broken and it could easily get stolen.
Bed was too hard and no natural lights in the rooms. But if your height is over 130cm, you will probably hit your on the roof of one of the male rooms… for the price they charge, they should probably get better beds and the lockers were broken and it could easily get stolen.

- John (5/5): Ok hostel, good location - The location was good I wouldn't say the hostel wasn't clean, but could be cleaner. My room was a bit of a mess (untidy) and the showers/bathroom could do with a refurbishment/deep clean
- Claudia (8/5): -
- Nicola (5/5): - Molto buona la zona per vedere il lago vicino, metro vicino! L'odore nella stanza e la doccia sporca.

- Melanie (7/5): Good - In a good location It didn’t have an elevator and the bed was very hard
- Luiz (8/5): Very good - Location was amazing!!! In a very buzzing hutong area with many food options, not far from the subway station. The bedroom itself was ok, bed was comfortable, but they didn’t have the curtains for privacy. The shared bathroom wasn’t very clean.
- Radoslaw (7/5): Good -
- Ana (1/5): Dirty and not advised to stay in this place. - All I can say is that I liked the street near the hostel with a variety of shops! I did not like the facilities, the room I had was not good, bed not very comfortable... there was no one that day in my room I did not share with anyone and yet it was still followed and with rubbish and beds without cleaning them of the previous person who had been....:
Toilets and showers unhygienic... the sink filled with water and was dirty! The cleanest I went was the waiting room or something like that near the reception! I really regretted paying for a night in this place... the best thing I should have done was to stay that night sleeping at the airport! Backpackers like me, don't spend your rest day in this place!
- Inaki (8/5): Very good - Very good location, close tot he subway station, lovely terrace. Too few toilets and showers for the floor and a bit expensive for a hostel. But on a capital city its the norm i suppose.
- Kevin (8/5): Very good - Central location in one of the historical Hutong
- Stinson (10/5): Perfect! - Great place to hang out. Fabulous location! Location!
- Meriem (8/5): Nice hostel in a touristic area - Nice central hostel in a very touristic street. Close to the subway and many touristic areas. The staff is kind and helpful.
There is a café/restaurant adjacent to the hostel. There is only the basics. No towels, shampoo or anything. Basic bed (not very comfortable). No kitchen or anything to cook (but they have a water dispenser both cold and hot).
I find it too expensive for what it is.
- Júlia (8/5): Very good - Wonderfull location and facilities. The room was big, cozy and clean. Plenty of toiletries and water bottles ever day. Eventhough it is an international hostes it was difficult to communicate with most of the staff in english.
- Axel (6/5): Pleasant -
- Valérie (10/5): Exceptional - Being in one of the hutongs part of Beijing
- Luca (10/5): Exceptional -
- Frans (8/5): Very good -
- Jallal (10/5): Exceptional - I stayed there twice, and each of my staying there was perfect 👌🏻
- Karolina (6/5): Pleasant - The pictures you see here are showing some of the bathroom and beds that are avaiable in the Hostel. My bathroom was nothing like that, it was kind of disgusting with mold everywhere. No soap at the sink, no paper towels or hand dryer. Shower space had the most mold.
The beds were so hard I had to ask for another cover to put on mattress - then it was durable. But I know other rooms had better mattresses so it depends.
The staff doesnt speak English, even simple words are hard for them to understand so you will need to use translator. One guy was nice, the second one not so much, every time I asked for something it felt like I was a nuisance. Common space is okay but nothing much. No kitchen space.
Pluses are free drinking water (hot and cold) and the location - a lot of different food around and most actractions are pretty close. Metro station is really close too.
Overall, it was okay but for me the price is too much for what you get.
- Sofie (10/5): Great - I liked the location, the friendliness of the staff and the rooms. However the mattresses were very solid and the shower in the womens room wasnt the cleanest. But apart from that I enjoyed my stay and I would definitely stay again. Highly recommend.
- Nausica (9/5): Superb -
- Sabrina (10/5): Exceptional - Friendly service and clean
- Roland (10/5): Exceptional - Great location, accommodating staff, nice rooms
- Anonymous (8/5): Great value - It's located in downtown and Nanluoguxiang metro station is 5 minutes walking distance. Staffs are very helpful but language is issue.
- Jallal (10/5): Best hostel in Beijing! - This is one of the best hostels I've been so far, the place is amazing - beds are big and comfortable, showers are new, staff is amazing and very helpful, and location is just perfect ! I wouldn't want to stay in different place now when I would visit Beijing, and I already booked my second stay at that place for next week, when I will back here for my next flight.
- Sandra (10/5): Exceptional -
- Jen (6/5): Pleasant and convenient - The location is superb and strategic. Easy access to public transport. An area rich in history and cultures. Crowded with people and it is safe. Full of food stores and variety of shops. The staff are helpful and friendly. Cozy hostel although it is an old building with a restaurant. The staff had provided a clear instructions on how to get there which was great. No kitchen to cook.
- Jen (6/5): Pleasant -
- Tony (10/5): Great place to explore the city - Great location and super comfortable beds. Staff was helpful.
- Edward (5/5): Good potential let down by uncleanliness - Lovely staff, nice comfortable common areas for relaxing in the evening. Location is really excellent for sightseeing and getting around Beijing easily. The cleanliness of the property was distinctly lacking. The common toilets, showers etc were dirty and old. The bedrooms were pretty unclean as well. I saw cleaners go around everyday and yet the bathrooms and showers always looked as though they hadn’t been cleaned in over a week. Very disappointing, particularly given the hostel is pretty expensive for what it is.
- Luciana (10/5): Amazing stay - I loved the friendly environment of the hostel. The position is great , as it is close to the metro station, food and souvenir shops. The staff was nice and helpful. Overall the rooms are clean and you have free water close to the reception. I would give to customers for free more towels for the shower and their personal use.
- Duncan (7/5): Good - Nice communal area and yummy candy up front. Also staff was very friendly! Dorm set up is terrible. Beds are placed right next to each other on the same level with no curtains (unlike the pictures on Booking.com). So if one person is snoring in the room, it keeps everyone up. I don’t recommend if you want good sleep.
- Ali (7/5): Good -
- Shinnosuke (6/5): Pleasant -
- Ann (9/5): Comfortable and conveniently located hostel with friendly staff. - The hostel is located just off of one of the major tourist shopping lanes in a typical Beijing Hutong. The subway is just a short walk (~5 min) away and there are lots of options for food and drink around. Still, the hostel was quiet and cozy, with a very comfortable common area. The beds were super comfortable, had an international charging point and curtains. The staff were also very helpful and super friendly! The window-less bathroom of our dorm had a slight mold problem. Considering that the building is a bit older, I think it is fine. The bathroom would benefit from a renovation in the near future but since everything was still pretty clean it wasn’t a big deal.
- Silvia (10/5): The staff is very respectful and polite, the hostel is close to the metro station and the area have a lot of shops for t - Is very clean, the staff is very kind, the area is super tourist!☺️
- Sailesh (7/5): Good -
- Petra (8/5): Very good - Excellent location, very close to metro station, rooms were clean, offered free water The showers were very mouldy
- Chaithanya (10/5): Exceptional -

- Daevid (7/5): Good -
- Kaya (10/5): Exceptional - very helpful staff
- Haye (10/5): Exceptional - I got great help from Zhou Songsong in planning and arraging my time in Beijing!
- Roderick (7/5): Good - The rooftop os wonderful. Toilet are not clean especially at ground floor.
- Astrid (9/5): Superb -
- Hartmann (7/5): Good - The stay was overall pleasant, with a few highlights and minor drawbacks. The beds were comfortable, which made for a restful experience. The location was excellent—close to the metro and situated on a vibrant street filled with food stalls and street food options, which I found delightful.
One challenge I encountered was that the staff did not speak English, which made communication a bit difficult at times. However, they were always willing to help whenever I needed assistance, which I truly appreciated.
While my expectations were slightly higher, the overall experience was satisfactory. The combination of the convenient location and helpful staff made my stay enjoyable.
- Sebastian (8/5): Well located and good for the money but super tiny shared toilet - Well located Super tiny toilet you have to share with everyone.
- Myriam (10/5): I had a great experience at this hostel and will return very soon. - 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. No complaints.
- Jannes (10/5): Exceptional - Perfect location in a an amazing area of town with short walking distance to Metro station, yet super quiet and cozy!
Staff is extremely helpful and friendly
- Danny (8/5): Great and convenient location - Fantastic location in the middle of a must visit hutong and conveniently located nearby a metro station and breakfast places and restaurants A bit disappointed that the cafe only opened after breakfast hours
- Victor (8/5): Very good - The location is very good, in the middle of a very lively hutong and less than 5 minutes walking to the metro. You can also easily meet other travelers in the common areas of the hostel. I stayed in the 6-bed shared room, and the price was very high for the facilities (no curtains/separation between beds, so other guests may easily wake you up during the night). It was 4 times more expensive than the hostels I stayed in Xi'an and Hangzhou, where the facilities were undoubtedly better.
- Raffaela (10/5): Love Beijing i had a blast - The location coulden't be better, it is in the center of the fashinating Hutong, it is in a small alley but steps from the main road with tons of shop and place to eat it is very close to subway n.6 and 8 so easy to reach any location very fast. Because it is an old Hutong house it is very fashinating even if the bathroom and the rooms are old fashion but it is totally fine anyway i absolutely will choose again this hostel next time and I suggest to traveler to chose this place. Nice area to relax too with lots of sofà. Actually for people like me that waike up early i would apprieciate to have a coffe machine or nescafe complimentary because in the area the shop open very late. The comunicazione was kind of difficult no one was speaking not even few word and only by translator.So difficult to try to book tickets to museum or other attractions.
