Beautifully renovated courtyard in Beijing's old city down a small hutong (alleyway). We stayed at the beginning of spring and it was lovely. The staff are friendly and there is a computer with a vpn to check facebook. Lots of places to eat on the street nearby and walking distance from the subway. Great place to stay if you want... More

What a delightful place to stay! We stayed here for four nights with another couple. They stayed in the mixed ensuite dorm and we had a private room so we were able to check out both types of accommodations. They were pleased with how clean the shared bathroom was and the quality of the mattresses, towels and linens. Our private... More

Firstly, there were some nice touches - the emergency phone with SIM card (it comes gratis), the kung-fu classes and the innkeeper's friendly demeanor were what swayed our decision to stay here in the beginning. I am Chinese, and I understand the concept of communal living, but the room we got next to the common area was simply unacceptable -... More

We've just finish our family holidays in China. We stayed 8 days in Beijing at Fly by knight, and we would never want to be eslewhere!! It is the best place to stay in Beijing if you want to be in a very friendly place, quiet, beautiful old house and courtyard very typical from the hutongs, very very good beds... More

Wonderfully clean rooms in a renovated suheyuan (old Beijing house) with modern, clean bathrooms. The bed was more comfortable than my bed at home. Amazing service. The guys here work very hard to help you out in every possible way. They even gave us a complimentary mobile phone with credit for the duration of our stay, which made a huge... More

Fly by Knight is not only the best hostel I've stayed in, I would even recommend the private rooms here over staying in a hotel. The tranquility and cultural experience of a Hutong (such as Dengcao) is the best option when you will be spending much of the day at bustling tourist sites in the rapidly modernizing city of Beijing,...

Located a few minutes from Dongsi station and relatively close to Forbidden City and Tiananmen Square by bicycle (which are available for rent at the hostel). The rooms were clean and the beds were quite comfortable. Breakfast was included and exceeded excpectations. The staff are very friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. The hostel is located in a Hutong so it was... More

This hostel is amazing!!! My friend and I are young women and we stayed in the mixed dorm and we always felt completely safe and secure. The staff are wonderful and make you feel so comfortable!!! My first night in Beijing, my bag was stolen by a taxi driver and Daniel (the owner of Fly By Knight) went with me... More

I really enjoyed my stay with Daniel and his team! Everyone treated me as if I was a friend not just a guest! The setting was beautiful, I felt like I was living in an old Chinese movie (but with a warm duvet and constant hot water!). The free Kungfu lesson just added to this feeling. I would definitely stay... More
