In a room of 6. There was 2 bunk beds, but nothing on top (just for luggage), there 4 others were individual beds. There was no curtains or any intimacy. There was no bed table or anything in the bunk beds. Just a small common area with 4 tables and sofas.

Staff are 10/10 - super helpful and nice. Cleanliness of bathroom 0/ 10 - I have never experienced such filthy bathrooms and toilets. They just don't need a clean, rather a full overhaul. I wouldnt recommend this place for its cleanliness.

Not a social hostel, not a good option for solo travellers. Staff is not very responsible. There’s only one small bathroom for the entire hostel, I found two guests having sex on the bathroom floor (I almost had a heart attack when I went in)- I felt really uncomfortable and I went to speak with reception about it they didn’t care and just asked me to hand in my keycard if I was checking out. So I couldn’t even use the toilet before leaving to the airport.

It's a decent hostel in a busy Hutong... Lots of shopping, eating and walking area, though not as close to the main sites as I would have liked. I had a private room which was quite clean and decently serviced. I didn't particularly find the hostel a good to meet people....not very social at all.

Die Fotos sind schon etwas älter. Die Duschen sind von schwarzem Schimmel überzogen, obwohl jeden Tag für mehrere Stunden jemand zum putzen da war. Es ist sehr laut weil die Türen alle schief sind und nicht richtig schließen. Die Lage ist allerdings perfekt, sehr zentral.

Translated to English

The shower is covered with black mold, although there was someone there to clean it for several hours every day. it is very loud because the doors are all skewed and do not close properly. the location is perfect, very central.

El hostel está bien, el tema es que es caro por los servicios ofrecidos. Todo un piso comparte solamente un baño. Se torna un poco incómodo.

Translated to English

The hostel is fine, the issue is that it is expensive for the services offered. the whole floor shares only one bathroom. it becomes a little uncomfortable.

Sehr gemütliches Hostel! Zimmer sind okey und Lage ist sehr zentral. Sauberkeit könnte verbessert werden, aber es war noch okey. Man kann direkt an der Rezeption Touren für Great Wall und Forbidden City buchen. Bei der Great Wall Tour ist im Preis nur Busfahrt und Eintritt enthalten.

This is an amazing place if you're staying for any length of time in Beijing. It is very close to bars and restraunts. The staff are very friendly and accomodating and help to help with any thing you need guidance on

Great location, the hostel did the job. Staff could be a little friendlier, in person or by email. Atmosphere isn’t what a hostel usually feels like, but again, it does the job given the ideal location!

A nice hostel in a good area with convenient metro links and lots of food places etc nearby. However, has no atmosphere and not the most comfortable beds. Good for a few nights!

Right at the middle of walking street it is very well located. Hostel has a good chill area & vibe! Rooms are clean. Just no privacy (no curtains) & to be honest the Title is a bit misguiding. Not many International or young People were around. Think overall Beijing isn’t the classic Backpack destination. Not much socializing. It will ultimately be your luck if you meet the right People in the hostel because if you do you will have a great time.
