We stayed here october 2012, great location, great value for mone and nice communal place for backpackers. Would recommend this one to everybody that is going to beijing and is looking for a cheap and central located place.

There were quite a few problems here when we stayed in Feb 2013. Our room was a total letdown: there were stains on the sheets, the window wouldn't shut so it was freeezing, there was a huge hole in the wall that was 'filled in' with newspaper, there was no lid on the tank of the toilet so there was...

The Sunrise Hostel is located right off one of the major roads in Beijing in a hutong setting. We paid extra and got a private room with an en-suite toilet and shower. The room was Spartan, but very clean and the beds were comfortable by Chinese standards (seem to prefer harder beds than Americans). The setup of the hostel is... More

I am currently staying at this hostel. I was at first shocked at the place after a flight from australia and arriving at 2.30 am. Luckily my taxi drove me down the alley way. Reception is 24 hours, you just have to knock on the door and someone will come collect you if its the middle of the night. There... More

My girlfriend and I booked 2 nights in this hostel last minute and found the staff to be very helpful. The accommodation is basic as you would expect but clean with everything you need. There is a little bar on site that provides good value chinese and western style food as well as drinks. The staff are approachable and helped... More

Our first place when arriving in china - found Sunrise hostel to be friendly - and clean. Rooms are not massive but comfortable enough. Our room did have a slight smell from the bathroom -(210). Friendly staff, very helpful - finding places /directions, and answering questions. Granted a late checkout free of charge and were very accommodating. Location was perfect... More

We stayed here for 5 nights and were upgraded to a private bathroom free of charge. The hostel is pleasant and has a quirky cafe which serves western food. The room could have been a bit cleaner but was otherwise OK. Great location, only a 10 minute walk to the no 1 subway line and 15 minutes from the main... More

Location of this youth hostel is absolutely prime: literally a stone's throw away from the bustling commercial street-Wangfujing and only about 15 minute walk from the world-famous and touristy Tiananmen square and Forbidden city. Atmosphere there was great. The facade of the youth hostel features traditional Chinese elements: two lion sculptures, Chinese couplets etc.Oh and bunting made up of a... More

We booked 2 x twin rooms few weeks before we arrived in Beijing. Once we paid the 10% deposit, they will provide you maps, details and directions to the hostel. It was helpful. Just 10 minutes walking to Wangfujing subway station. The location? It's totally great. Near to Forbidden City, Tiananmen Square and Donghuamen Night food market. They provided heater,... More
