"This place was horrible. A nightmare in China! I woke up with bed bugs and I saw cockroaches crawling in kitchen during dinner. I don’t know how ppl rate it so high. I guess it is good if you are looking for something very cheap, but you get what you pay for! You were warned. "

"Advertised as a private room but was actually a dorm (same story reported by other travelers). Sheets instead of curtains. Told off for talking at 11pm. Noisy repairs underway from 7am. Floors never swept, tables sticky. Gave the property 3 days notice I would be leaving early but they still refused even a partial refund for the remaining nights, leaving me hundreds of dollars out of pocket. Absolute money grubbing. Stay away."

"I was very happy with my stay at Peking International Youth Hostel. The rooms were very comfortable, the hostel was very clean and the ladies at reception were very helpful. They assisted me with booking a driver for the Great Wall and were able to answer a few stupid questions for me. The hutong the hostel is located on is really popular so it's almost always bustling. Plenty of food and drink options on the main street but make sure you venture out into the side streets for less crowded...

"Сначала нам поменяли отель на соседний, который находится в 10 метрах. Когда мы пришли в другой отель, то на ресепшене сказали, что кондиционер в номере сломан и отправили нас в другой отель. В третьем отеле нас заселили в ужасный вонючий номер со сломанным кондиционером. Мы думали ,что ночью задохнётся от этой вони. Нам стало очень плохо. Не бронируйте и бегите подальше. ЭТО УЖАСНО."

"立地はすごく良く、北京の下町に滞在しているようでした。治安もよく、スーパや飲食店も立ち並ぶ道路沿いにあります。ラウンジでは他の滞在者とのコミュニケションが活発でした。しかし、共有の水回りがあまり清潔ではありませんでしたので、水回りのある個室をおすすめします。"

"Dragon hostel is quiet and clean with great access to the National Art Museum (NAMoC) and Beihei park. My room was simple, had good aircon, and a good bed. There is no road noise and the location is very quiet. easy access to Dongsi Metro station. The wifi is slow and intermittent but otherwise still useful. the staff are always available and speak english. I would stay again given the location."

"There is a lot of house renovation around the hoste area and a bit dusty and blocked by big machine and building waste. There is many dog there along the way to the hostel. A bit dark during night walk. The room not really clean in the toilet. Aircond was suddenly leaking on the 2nd day. Got kitchen but cannot use since the sink is not connected to water tap. The staff are really friendly and try to help us guide to the tourist place. Got only one person can talk english better. Got luggage...
