So I shall tell you about my experience of 3 nights staying in the 9 Dragons House (Xinmao Hostel). Firstly, we found it very difficult to get an address of the Hostel in Chinese and although their website provided a map, there was no address to easily print out, or to have copied to show to a taxi driver.

The best part about this hostel is the location. It's only a minute's walk to the subway and close to sights like Tiananmen Square and Forbidden City. The hostel itself is quite cute and our room was clean. I don't recommend eating at the hostel's restaurant. The breakfast's were good but they ran out of food a lot and the... More

We really enjoyed Dragons House. We stayed there in a private room on two separate occasions. One for just a couple of nights and then we came back for a full week. The hostel is very close to the tube station, and to lots of places to eat. It is also within walking distance (30mins) to the Forbidden City and... More

Our first stop in China was 9 Dragons House and it really was a great place to stay. The hostel is located very near to the subway station which made getting around Beijing really easy. The subway station is a 2 minute walk, if that. The room was large and clean and perfect for the price. The hostel restaurant was... More

We booked this having liked the name"Dragons House" It took the taxi driver a while to find it, as it is down a hutong and tucked away. A great location. Simple room. Clean. Slept well. Could have had a lick of paint and brighter lightbulbs. Out the hostel, turn left, top of the road, over the road is a DIY... More

This hostel is known as 9 Dragons house. Came across it last minute and I liked the location. It's one minute away from the subway and down a hutong near a main intersection. The place is in a quiet neighborhood but because of the hostel size it can get loud inside. They have a bar on the first floor and... More

This is not the sort of review I enjoy writing and I guess I must be careful what I say. During my stay a money belt of mine went missing. I am the first to admit that it could have been stolen at the train station but I am 90% confident it was with me when I got to my... More

Many people like to go to the hostels that are located nearby Tiannamen square, but in my opinion when in Beijing you WILL be using the subway so i liked the slightly quieter location of 9 Dragons. It can be a little tricky to find at first but after leaving Zhangzijonglu station its almost on top of it, Likes= the... More

This hostel has a great location, right near a subway station and close to several restaurants. The hostel bar is cool and offers affordable drinks and western food. The staff is friendly and always willing to provide travel advise. This is a really good option in Beijing.

We really enjoyed staying in Dragons House, the atmosphere was good, we had a lot of fun with travelers we met there and came back to this hostel at the end of our trip. They have nice western breakfasts and very tasty vegetable pizza. We also enjoyed very much the trip to the wall, which Jeff organised. Its a non-touristic... More
