You get what you paying for. Very central and safe hotel. The shared bathrooms are very dirty. But overall worth the money. They also helped us with tickets to The Great Wall and train-tickets to Shanghai.

Cheap breakfast. Cheap internet (unless you get the one rude guy who tried to overcharge) Pool...

My friend and I had to get a hostel at the last minute. I must say, it IS truly conveniently located. We were very happy to by right by the...

We stayed there for a few nights but hadn't expected anything special after a very-near-the-railway-station location. But boy! were we wrong! Spotless rooms, spick-and-span bathrooms, soft towels :), the availability of laundry machines AND dryers made it a very pleasant stay to people who had their luggage lost by the airline and didn't have any other clothes but the ones...

I stayed there in July for the third time. It is well place being opposite the Railway Stationand very close to the underground. It is clean and functional and I will always return. Although the buffet breakfast is good value for money you can go outside and eat at one of many places.

The shower recess was in dire need of mould removal and hair removal (yeuch!) and the handle from the shower tap came off in my hand when I turned it on. Luckily, I...

The location is quite central and always bustling, especially because it's opposite the Beijing Cetral train station. There is also a breakfast service, free wifi and all. Unlike most people in Beijing, this hotel's staff speak decent English and...

We only spent one night in this nondescript commercial building, in a boring room with a shared bath down a long, boring hallway. No view, no towels. There was nothing particularly wrong with this place except its complete lack of charm, non-central location, and tacky commercial setting.
The positives: It was pretty cheap, reasonably clean, and it's across the street...

This hostel is just beside the Beijing Railway Station. During our stay a huge construction site is placed right in front of the main entrance. Watch out for the scalper and people trying to offer you everything fra cheap hotel rooms, tickets, rides or trips.
We tried to book train tickets at the travel agency at the hostel but got...
