Worth weighing
3 to weigh- Dorm rooms have limited amenities — The 4-bed dorm is for Mainland Chinese citizens only, and the 6-bed dorm lacks air conditioning, which may be uncomfortable in summer.
- Hostel atmosphere, not a quiet hotel — With a lively bar and constant flow of young travelers, privacy and quiet are limited, especially in shared rooms.
- No parking on site — The hostel does not offer parking, which could be a hassle for those arriving by car, though most guests use public transport.

Rooms were clean and airy, with air conditioning and fresh towels. The restaurant served tasty food and a variety of drinks. The staff were friendly, helpful, and spoke good English.”
7.6Verified guest“The staff were wonderful, friendly, with good English, and very helpful. The location was great, within walking distance of shopping, restaurants, Tiananmen Square, and the Forbidden City, and close to the subway. As a hostel, there are young people coming and going, but our double room was comfortable and we didn't feel out of place as an older couple.”
