Good for alone travelers who want to mingle
SOCIALIZING
I was in Beijing for 3 weeks and wanted to be social so I booked this hostel based on the images that they have here on Hotels.com. This place didn't dissapoint me! Even people from other hostels come here to mingle. Now I know folks from around the world and even from Beijing.
FOOD & DRINKS
There's a bar/restaurant at the hostel and it's a fun place to enjoy a drink. They play good music: Nouvelle Vague, Roots Manuva and that sort. The only thing I didn't like is the Western style food they have but then again - who travels to Beijing to eat pizza or pasta?
ROOMS & TOILET
I stayed in two different rooms. The first one was neat and the second one dusty but otherwise clean. No bugs or insects. The beds are comfortable and the showers work well. There is proper ac. Note that a towel is *not* included (at least not in the dorms). You need to pay a rent price plus a deposit to get a towel so if you want to take a shower when you arrive, have cash on you.
LOCATION
The location is very central and safe even during night time. There are many good restaurants and shops just around the corner, and even a proper beer bar (Beers 89) 100 m from the hostel.
OTHER NOTIONS
+ Friendly staff with okay/good English skills.
+ The hostel's trip to the Great Wall Mutianyu can be a good way of meeting new people, if you are in luck. It really depends on the day and company.
- Payment only in cash (closest ATM is 20 minute walk away).
