My daughter arrived in Beijing around 12 hrs before us, she took a taxi from airport to hostel and was charged 200 yuan (a complete and utter rip off)!!! On arrival at the hostel she was allowed to check straight into our room non of this after 2pm malarky. We arrived around 4pm from airport by taxi paying just 100 yuan!!!! The girl on reception was excellent, very friendly and efficacious.
The room had a single bed and a set of bunk beds, and my daughter being small and dainty got the top bunk. My husband took the single bed which had a decent mattress on it whilst the bunk beds had very thin mattresses which meant each time you moved you could feel the wooden slats. The room was quite small/compact but clean, the ensuite bathroom again was quite small but did the job. The staff were friendly and helped with any issues or travel needs that arose.
The hostel is a two minute walk from a nite market selling every conceivable animal that you cud eat even cat and dog. There was a main shopping area about 3/4 mins walk where designer shops, mcdonalds etc where.
