Looking for a hostel?
Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    Great location next to the central train station and easy to reach from the airport . There are some local restaurants where you can eat really great quality for a cheap price. The hotel looks amazing and the buffet breakfast has so many choices we could not try all of them but all what we tasted was delicious. Our room was huge and beautiful with all the equipment you need for a short or even for a longer stay.

    Great location, most attractive attractions within walking distance (Forbidden City, Tiananmen Square are about 10-15 minutes from the Happy Dragon Hostel). As bonus, free coffee from the coffee machine (invigorates you so you can’t fall asleep all night) and power banks on the way out. I really liked the staff, always ready to help! I recommend this hostel especially for solo travel!

    Excellent location, 24 hour reception, good backpacker vibes, it was easy to make friends and go out to dinner. I don't understand the horrible reviews on hostel world, the place was fine (although it helps if you speak Chinese or have experience in 1 star Chinese hotels)

    Right in town. Beijing a big town I mean huge city. But location of hotel good for the major attractions and subway at front door and buses as well. Couldn't ask for more. Also for day tours they pick-up nearby. Really just a great location. 👍 Restaurants abound and fast food easy cheap or expensive your choice.

    Comfy bed, social, washing machine, sold drinks and snacks, bathroom was cleaned regularly, lots of common areas. Cheapest place available in Beijing (although still expensive for what it was). A great location near the subway and a small shop was nearby.

    Located in Beijing Hutong between 2 metro stations (within walking distance). Very near to Wangfujing shopping street and food! Walkable distance to Forbidden City as well (but about 20mins walk). Basic room with necessary amenities, but i love the shared pantry area which gives a homely vibe. Hotel is more like a youth hostel vibe, friendly staffs who will help to give recommendations on food and places on interest.

    As a solo backpacker I almost booked an overpriced hostel which was less then 30% cheaper than this but had average reviews. I’m so glad I booked this instead. It’s easily a 4 or 5 star hotel, with everything you need, while it’s not that expensive at all compared to the region. Staff is helpful, breakfast is extremely good and the rooms are comfortable and clean. Overall a really pleasant stay and so much more comfort and luxury. Free gym, free water, free coffee (good one even) and so on.

    Good value for money especially for Beijing. Much cheaper than Peking Youth Hostel and 10 times the atmosphere. Great common area that was busy and met many people, mostly Russians escaping their country. I am amazed that so many reviews complained of having to make and take down their bedding - what a bunch of whiners.
