Sanlitun Youth Hostel in , China

We thoroughly enjoyed our room for three guests!The linens were clean and crisp and we slept well.There was plenty of hot water for showers but we tried to be frugal. We were half a mile to the subway and got around rather quickly.It was easy to catch a cab to the airport and train station. We chose the least expensive of the three tours offered to the Great Wall and was happy with our decision.On that day, the weather was perfect.Included were stops at a jade, silk and tea stores.

Been here a few times and it was good every time. The food prices might be a little 'too western', but if you don't like it, there are also other restaurants around. Atmosphere is very nice and location is good (about 10-15 mins to subway station). Cleanliness could be a little better, I think. Especially when I walked in my room (dorm), I just thought 'couldn't they just open a window or something?'. Overall it is a very nice hostel! Richard, from Netherlands ~ 14th Apr 2013

The hostel was awesome!I took a group of high school students, and they accommodated us in every way possible.The staff were friendly and personal, and they made efforts to ensure our stay and our overall trip were amazing.I could not recommend this hostel more, plus they have a great restaurant that is itself a cool hang-out spot. Book this hostel!You will not regret it! Rahel, from USA ~ 13th Apr 2013

We had a great time in this hostel. There are special services eg. for trips to great wall or to book a table in a restaurant (you really have to eat bejing duck ^^). I stayed with my girlfriend in a double bed room. Bathroom and bed was ok, but could be better. But at all it is a nice hostel ...go there and have fun. Franz, from Germany ~ 2nd Apr 2013

Very disappointing trip. We changed 2 rooms, and all fad fungus on the walls and ceiling. Bathroom was also bad, it was very small and there was no curtain between the shower and toilet, the water also was constantly pouring from bathroom to the room. Also hotel towels got dirty, my girlfriend dried her hair after it was dyed, and they tried to charge us 50 yuan each, saying that they can't was it off. So they made us either wash towels for them or pay 100 yuan. Also there is no elevator. Anton, from Ukraine ~ 28th Mar 2013

This hostel worked out really well. I would definitely go there again. I recommend them as a clean, safe, convenient place. Jeremy, from USA ~ 12th Mar 2013

I travel to Beijing often, and always opt for Sanlitun Youth Hostel if there is space available. The staff is incredibly friendly and helpful - and they speak excellent English making it easy to get directions and book tours or train tickets. In addition, the bar area is lively and usually full of other travelers, which means you can meet other people to go out with if that's you're thing. Other pluses: free wifi, western toilets, fun cultural events, great food, and close to the subway. Rebecca, from USA ~ 27th Feb 2013
