Was a perfect place to stay in Beijing. 10 meters away from the B entrance of Beijing Zhan metro. 50 meters away from Beijing railway station. Surrounded by all sorts of supermarkets and eateries. Price was very affordable (around RMB250 per night for a 4 person room). Room was very spacious and clean. The only thing that is lacking in... More

We stayed at the Beijing City Centre Youth Hostel. We chose the hotel based on its location just across the road from the train station we arrived at from Mongolia and only 20m from the metro for sightseeing, it is in a great location. The hostel is a strange hostel/hotel spread over 6 floors the bottom 4 referred to as... More

This was the first place we stayed in after a couple of weeks in Kathmandu, so our opinion is formed based on having experienced really grimy and dirty places (we were ill pretty much most of the time in Kathmandu, but not once yet in China, touch wood). The place was clean, not spotless, but the bedding was clean, the... More

I stayed at this hostel as it was part of a tour, and later transfered to a king room with ensuite. both rooms were bad. hygiene seems to be an issue in china, mouldy bathrooms are the go and this place has it all. beds were hard, staff very unfriendly. biggest issue is the lack of ventilation in the rooms...

This was the first stop for me on a group tour throughout China. The rooms and beds were very clean but very hard and incomfortable (even for China). We had shared bathroom and shower facilities which were also cleaned every morning. The carpet in the hallways should be removed as it is quite dingy and brings down the feel of... More

Easy to find as across road from Beijing MTR. We booked a deluxe double and it was very comfortable. Rooms large and well serviced. Large bathroom too. Wifi was good (sometimes would drop out but could always retrieve) . The bar on third floor was good for making OS phone calls. The tours on offer in the lobby at the... More

One word to describe this place, convenient. Everything is around 100m radius. Food, from street peddler, coffee shops and fast-food. Beijing railway station is just opposite can see from my room. Literally if i throw a stone from my room window i could hit the entrance to the subway. The price is a bit high for a hostel, the price... More

Nothing special about this place and the vibe is terrible. Toilets are average too. But it is really convenient (close to supermarkets,metro and train) and the buffet breakfast (Chinese &western) is 18rmb. If you just want a bed for the night, then go for it. But otherwise, there are better, less depressing, places.

Excellent location, just a door step away from subway and train station. There's a lot of mini market and food store nearby; including KFC and MacD. Room is clean. There are 2 type of toilet; one with transparent wall. So if you are staying with friends, make sure to request for room without transparent wall. Daily comb, toothbrush and toothpaste... More
