Small beds
I was in Beijing for 4 days, 3 nights. I stayed at the Beijing Alley Youth International Hostel based on a recommendation from a friend that she had stayed there before. It was okay but the beds were too small. I'm 5'9 and couldn't stretch my feet out all the way at night which made for some uncomfortable nights. It didn't help to have 3 roommates who snored but that's what you get with a hostel. For $9/night, I guess i got my moneys worth but next time I'm in Beijing I'll splurge a little more for a better nights sleep. Oh and the wifi didn't reach the room even though I was located directly next to the common room. Not really a big deal...just a little annoying

Booking mess up
We arrived as a group who had booked separately. When we arrived, I was told I was moved to a 6 bed rather than a 4 bed, which I didn't mind. However I had been put in a room with some men which apparently is against policy or law? So my room was revoked- at the same time they apparently didn't have room for three of our group who had booked online on the same site- and paid in advance. After about an hour and a half we managed to get it sorted and we all fitted in the hostel, but only after two other people who were staying at the hostel left early because of a leaking room. Rooms smelt like drains other than that it was okay. Wouldn't recommend because of the booking mess up though.

Don't go expecting a palace!
The first room we were placed in had lots of flies in it, but when we asked to be moved, we were immediately put in a different room. The staff were helpful and friendly and even though the room wasn't in great condition I would stay here again as the price was so reasonable!

Terrible Stay.
we ended up staying only 1 night of a 5 night booking (with no refund) after entering a hostel with cats running wild, rabbits in cages too small for them to turn and extremely basic facilities and accommodation. would not recommend.

Local razoável, banheiro cheira mal
O hostel poderia ser bem melhor. Poucas pessoas do staff falam inglês, houve pressão para o check out, e o banheiro tem um cheiro muito ruim.

北京の小さい路地にある宿
予約した部屋がなかった。受付の態度が最悪。謝りの言葉もなかった。か英語が全く話せない。ネットで見たホテルの写真と実際は、全く違った。ホステルだから安いが、部屋の中は、足臭い臭いで閉口した。予約した部屋がないというのでキャンセルしたかったが疲労困憊していたのでやむなく別の部屋にする事にした。それにしても、お客様扱いしない態度には立腹した。外国へ行けば、愛想もくそもない場合が多いが、今回は、最悪だった。二度とこんなところには、宿泊しない。ただ、ただ、不愉快な旅となった。

予約を勝手に削除
当日ホテルに行きましたが予約が勝手に消えており宿泊できませんでした。 メールが来ていましたが、メールは当日の朝はに送られたもの。内容は6時までに来ないと勝手に予約削除します。というものでした。 飛行機の移動でメールも見ておらず対応できませんでした。ありえません。

Nooit meer
Nooit meer! De locatie was goed, metro station was dichtbij in de buurt, maar dat was dan ook het enige positieve aan het verblijf. Wat een vreselijke plek. Personeel is absoluut vreselijk, onbeleefd en totaal niet behulpzaam. Ze hebben de organisatie onderling ook totaal niet op orde, ze vertellen allemaal verschillende dingen. De dorm was oké, bedden waren comfortabel maar de badkamer was van mat gas, de deur van de bakamer kon niet op slot of uberhaupt dicht. Het verblijf was prima geweest als het personeel niet zo vreselijk was, hier kom ik nooit meer terug.

生活便利
交通和生活上都很便利，只是居住地方在巷弄內，自己一個女生行走，有點怕怕的， 其他基本地鐵步行到那邊大約只需要3～5分鐘就可以到達，三餐附近有簡易小吃和超商，基本生活需求算可以接受

希望能加註需自行攜帶盥洗用品
整體來說還算不錯，離地鐵站很近，價格實惠，但希望訂房時能在網頁加註需自行攜帶盥洗用品，以免造成旅客未攜帶，形成不便。

Disappointing
Our room was really wet and the only window we had was on the common area where the staff spent most of his time talking loud, playing video games and music after midnight. Staff was not really useful neither paying attention to us. Terre were not very polite or respectful. It was like we were disturbing them by staying in the hostel. Bathrooms were really dirty. There was a kitchen but it was reserved to staff. The room smelled bad because of the humidity and the lack of fresh air. But I heard there were better rooms. Plus it was hard to find. So you should find a better place to stay.

胡同に暮らす庶民の生活が垣間見れるホステル
地下鉄東西駅から歩いて2～3分の胡同にあります。周囲には観光名所的なものはないですが、コンビニ、フルーツ店、焼菓子店、レストランなどがあります。ホステルスタッフはとてもフレンドリーで対応も親切です。共用バス・トイレは随時清掃員さんが掃除してくれて清潔な状態です。荷物の預りは24時間10元でしてくれます。洗濯機使用は有料ですが、可能です。

不满意的体验。
WI-FI房间使用不好，大厅还算流畅。房间没窗没暖气，干与闷。养宠物味道很大，不仅公共空间连房间也有。床偏小，有点短。服务人员基本无表情与交流，只能入住退房。整体氛围不欢快，大家住时你们光看大厅还宽，要看看房间等等其他相关，以后不会再入住。
