Stayed here with my boyfriend for 4 nights in February. I booked with this hostel because I wanted to show him 'Hutong' and courtyard, the traditional living environment of local people in Beijing. Not sure how much he's taken from it though, he he. Overall we had a great time in Beijing and had a nice stay here. Reception/common area... More

The Flowering House staffs are very friendly and welcoming. They tried their best to provide local information if you asked. Overall 6 nights stays were good experience at old Beijing house and it just can't compare to normal star class hotel. Especially wanted to thanks to one of the Macau Intern staff's Ah Fung for troubling her to request water,... More

Me and my husband stayed here for 4 nights while we were visiting the city. It has some pro's and contra's: + really nice staff, who speak English well + very close to metro station and some nice restaurants + near some of the must see's like Confucius temple + nice and typically Beijing neighbourhood + it was quite cheap...

This hostel is set up like a traditional Chinese home. It has a garden/courtyard area in the middle with the rooms around it. This is nice to experience, but it makes it a little noisy at night. Also, the floors were quite dirty in the rooms (i stayed in two) and the door in one room didn't seal to the... More

We stayed here at the start of a 3 week trip around China. After taking FOREVER to find the place - make sure you arrange a pick up if you can because we spent 3 hours trying to find it, asking all sorts of people but couldn't find it anywhere - when we got there the staff were really nice... More

The location is great, near to subway, several famous sights and shopping. Hotel is very traditioal style, a nice yard and comfortable rooms, atmosphere is good, very quiet place to sleep. you'll never regret to stay here.

I stayed in the Flowering House Hostel. It is probably the best in China (I will say) considering the price. Very friendly and courteous staff. Nice and clean. Just 3 minutes walk to the main road. Traditional Chinese Cultural design. Must stay with family if visiting Beijing. Free Internet. Common TV Room etc etc.

I like the flowering house for its convenient transportation, friendly enviroment. People from all over the world are come together and we get along with each other quiet well. The coutryard in the hostel is fantastic. We can surfer on the internet by wifi. Besides, we can cook by ourselves. Everything is wonderful here.

We lived in the hostel for about eleven days. We really enjoyed our stay, because of family like atmosphere and its classical ambience. It was worth all its money. In contrary to another hostel we stayed in before (very western feeling）the interpersonal communication wasn’t distant but very pleasant and we met quite a bunch of interesting people - travellers as...
