Everyone seemed to spill out from the bar and congregate in the corridors and courtyard and smoke and chat loudly till 4-5 am!!! The... More

Nice location next to the major attractions in town. Staff is helpful and will reserve you the best rate for the terracotta army without any shopping stops. The rooms are clean and the restaurant provides good meals to fair prices. Best is the bar down stairs with live music entertainment and cheap beer until late. Best hostel in China so... More

my favourite hostel stay in China. Stayed in a double room for 1 night and dorm rooms for 2 nights and both were very comfy and clean. The hostel itself is beautiful, based around two courtyards with a lovely lobby area, great little cafe/restaurant in the back with excellent full english breakfast and resident kitten and dog. Also has a... More

We stayed in this hostel for 2 nights and 3 days. Everything was just perfect. I stayed in one of their dormitories for only 40 RMB/per night and it came with a free coffee upon arrival and free Calsberg Beer every night. The rooms are warm and very cozy., Sheets are clean and I had a god sleep. Although the... More

Very pretty, boutique-style hostel from outside and in the main areas, beautiful gardens and restaurant area. We stayed in a dorm which was pretty basic but very clean and tidy. we had shared bathrooms but these also were very clean. There are private rooms available. Staff were very helpful and arranged our trip to the panda sanctuary for a very... More

This hostel is a welcome retreat from the Chinese winter. The reception lobby has stylish comfy chairs and very helpful and fun staff. A few courtyards will take you to the cosy restaurant at the back, where I found the food was top quality and beer only 8RMB!! They have a pizza oven and you can cook your own cookies... More

We stayed here in October 2010 and really enjoyed our stay. The dorm room was adequete and the location was very good. The cafe is brilliant and the bar has a great atmosphere. It is a real social place so you will not have problems meeting people. The staff were excellent too.

My friend and I recently had a very happy time at this hostel. As we only had 2 days, we loved the central location, the friendly atmosphere, the unique decor, the scrumptious breakfast, the ever delicious hot coffee and the helpful staff. Our big hit was going for an early morning bike ride around the city wall. We loved them... More

Arrived after leaving Xiangzimen Hostel which was horribly unfriendly. We were greeted by two lovely ladies who were happy and welcoming (one was called Daisy). We were given a discount on the room because the previous occupiers had complained about a funny smell even though they assured us it was fixed (it was). Free tea/coffee the day you arrived in...

Nice location, atmosphere and room. The bar, Park Qin, got very nice ambiance. But is a bit noisy since the bar is at hostel basement! The travelers' cafe serves good breakfast too. Very clean room, but the matress in room was very old.
