This hostel is in a great location - near a metro stop, in a cosy neighborhood hutong. The decor is great - very cosy. The staff are great in helping you get to where you need to go, such as spelling things out on a slip of paper and with travel directions. The downsides include rooms that are very close... More

We were looking for a comfortable, quieter hostel near a subway stop for our party of 4 (2 moms and 2 twelve year old boys) and The Peking Yard was perfect! Since the rooms are small, we rented all the beds in the 6 bunk dorm for a week. The hostel is in an ally so it is tricky to... More

I liked that this Hostel located in the old part of Beijing - in one of the Hutongs area but near the subway station. It was only couple of minutes walk to the one of the bigger streets with several authentic restaurants where locals had breakfast (we too and loved it), a very good bakery where you can order coffee...

We spend 4 nights in Peking Yard. It was quite a pleasant stay. We checked into a 6 mixed dorm which, unfortunately, were occupied by locals who were in Beijing for work. We thought we could meet up with other fellow backpackers. Anyway, the location was great, about 10 mins walk to metro subway. It is also located between olympic... More

One of the most beautiful hostels I have stayed in. We were here for 5 nights.Tastefully decorated reception/living room area with cosy sofas and small library. We stayed in both the dorms, twin private room, and double ensuite. All three rooms were immaculately clean. Heating in the rooms was fine, but beware- heating in the bathrooms was AWFUL. There is...

Cosy hostel in Dongcheng, close to the metro. It's located in a Hutong, so the place feels really Chinese. The rooms are very nice, with really big and comfortable beds. Nice common area with a pool table and other facilities.

Firstly, I should say that this was my first stay in a hostel. I stayed in a private twin room in December. The hostel is located down a hutong (alleyway), which some people might find charming, however, they aren’t far off what in other countries might be classified as slums. The hutongs are something that visitors should see, but I... More

We stayed here in November 2011 and enjoyed the rooms, since they were very clean. Nevertheless the room are terribly overpriced, even to Beijing standards. They're asking hotel prices here, but you won't get the amenities that usually come with a hotel. Hardly any service, extremely small breakfast (comes with double rooms, no drinks), which is not even included when... More

We stayed 8 nights in October in Peking Yard and we were very well received. The lobby is great and super cozy. The music blends with the environment and the food is wonderful. Hey Jack, how are you going?
