Stayed at this hostel for about two weeks in late January 2012. Awesome bar, friendly staff (very helpful with directions and writing down the name of places in Chinese) and great location. The walk to the forbidden city is about half an hour along Wangfujing, and the bar district is only a short taxi ride from the hostel. Easily accessible... More

Recently stayed here with my family while visiting Beijing. While I wasn't too impressed with the location or the facilities at first, I quickly became a fan mostly because of the amazing staff. We made a mistake on our booking and booked a dorm room instead of a family room. The Manager Betty drove us to their sister hotel where... More

This place really is a great place for solo or friends. Everyone here is extremely friendly especially the next door kid that works at the convenient store. The staff suggests events and helps you get to where you need or want to go to. The value is excellent. This place always gives me good memories of Beijing. Plus great breakfast!

The staff did not know much about the sites but they have an awesome map on the wall that helps layout subway stops. The staff was very helpful in arranging cabs for us and for others to any location you desired but did not know much about public transportation despite their efforts to try to help us locate things in...

We were denied for check in on day 1 as we arrived after midnight and found that our name wasn't in the booking list. To make it worse, rooms are fully occupied. Angela, one of the staffs helped us to find a substitute hotel due to some mistakes with my booking. She was very helpful. Our 4 days 3 nights... More

Actually prefer to stay hostels as they are more lively. Very pleasent staff, all around, particulalry, Summer in the bar. Good location/price (room and drinks) As I travel, basically looking for location/price, do not need so many amenities. This fulfilled them. Room clean and no water issues. Mind you it is a hostel so rooms are small and small window,... More

The best thing about this Hostel is the staff. They are very approachable and helpful and speak great English. As an example, one of the nights we stayed here, one of the staff (Summer) wanted to sing us songs and show us all her progress in learning the guitar! We had a great night. The Hostel itself is pretty standard... More

Had a lovely experience with the hostel if not for the heating not working which is a MUST during the winter months. My friend and I travelled last Feb 2011. We did not expect that the temperature would drop around the time we were there (based on the forecast). But I suppose in a city that has a winter season... More

just came back from a great experience in Bj where I stayed some 20 nights in a private ensuite room at the Happy Dragon Hostel. It has been an ideal experience. As it is mainly considered a backpackers place I thought, beign myself on a long business trip, that my needs where probably not going to be fulfilled. But I... More

Had a great experience at the Happy Dragon! Highlighted by the excellent staff, all the young ladies working the front desk speak good English, are very friendly and helpful. Private bathrooms in every room, although I don't love the shower-in-bathroom personally. Nonetheless the rooms are clean and comfortable with daily cleaning service. There is a nice little bar/restaurant, internet access... More
