Peking Garden Youth Hostel

Location is excellent as the are the staff.

Just a head up: the adjoining restaurant was pricey.

Location was amazing!!! In a very buzzing hutong area with many food options, not far from the subway station.

The bedroom itself was ok, bed was comfortable, but they didn’t have the curtains for privacy. The shared bathroom wasn’t very clean.

Very good location, close tot he subway station, lovely terrace.

Too few toilets and showers for the floor and a bit expensive for a hostel. But on a capital city its the norm i suppose.

Wonderfull location and facilities. The room was big, cozy and clean. Plenty of toiletries and water bottles ever day.

Eventhough it is an international hostes it was difficult to communicate with most of the staff in english.

The pictures you see here are showing some of the bathroom and beds that are avaiable in the Hostel. My bathroom was nothing like that, it was kind of disgusting with mold everywhere. No soap at the sink, no paper towels or hand dryer. Shower space had the most mold.The beds were so hard I had to ask for another cover to put on mattress - then it was durable. But I know other rooms had better mattresses so it depends.The staff doesnt speak English, even simple words are hard for them to understand so you will need to use translator. One guy was nice, the second one not so much, every time I asked for something it felt like I was a nuisance. Common space is okay but nothing much. No kitchen space.Pluses are free drinking water (hot and cold) and the location - a lot of different food around and most actractions are pretty close. Metro station is really close too.Overall, it was okay but for me the price is too much for what you get.

I liked the location, the friendliness of the staff and the rooms. However the mattresses were very solid and the shower in the womens room wasnt the cleanest. But apart from that I enjoyed my stay and I would definitely stay again. Highly recommend.

Great location, accommodating staff, nice rooms

It's located in downtown and Nanluoguxiang metro station is 5 minutes walking distance. Staffs are very helpful but language is issue.

This is one of the best hostels I've been so far, the place is amazing - beds are big and comfortable, showers are new, staff is amazing and very helpful, and location is just perfect ! I wouldn't want to stay in different place now when I would visit Beijing, and I already booked my second stay at that place for next week, when I will back here for my next flight.

The location is superb and strategic. Easy access to public transport. An area rich in history and cultures. Crowded with people and it is safe. Full of food stores and variety of shops. The staff are helpful and friendly. Cozy hostel although it is an old building with a restaurant. The staff had provided a clear instructions on how to get there which was great.

No kitchen to cook.

Great location and super comfortable beds. Staff was helpful.

I loved the friendly environment of the hostel. The position is great , as it is close to the metro station, food and souvenir shops. The staff was nice and helpful. Overall the rooms are clean and you have free water close to the reception.

I would give to customers for free more towels for the shower and their personal use.

Lovely staff, nice comfortable common areas for relaxing in the evening. Location is really excellent for sightseeing and getting around Beijing easily.

The cleanliness of the property was distinctly lacking. The common toilets, showers etc were dirty and old. The bedrooms were pretty unclean as well. I saw cleaners go around everyday and yet the bathrooms and showers always looked as though they hadn’t been cleaned in over a week. Very disappointing, particularly given the hostel is pretty expensive for what it is.

Nice communal area and yummy candy up front. Also staff was very friendly!

Dorm set up is terrible. Beds are placed right next to each other on the same level with no curtains (unlike the pictures on Booking.com). So if one person is snoring in the room, it keeps everyone up. I don’t recommend if you want good sleep.

The hostel is located just off of one of the major tourist shopping lanes in a typical Beijing Hutong. The subway is just a short walk (~5 min) away and there are lots of options for food and drink around. Still, the hostel was quiet and cozy, with a very comfortable common area. The beds were super comfortable, had an international charging point and curtains. The staff were also very helpful and super friendly!

The window-less bathroom of our dorm had a slight mold problem. Considering that the building is a bit older, I think it is fine. The bathroom would benefit from a renovation in the near future but since everything was still pretty clean it wasn’t a big deal.

Is very clean, the staff is very kind, the area is super tourist!☺️

Excellent location, very close to metro station, rooms were clean, offered free water

The showers were very mouldy

The stay was overall pleasant, with a few highlights and minor drawbacks. The beds were comfortable, which made for a restful experience. The location was excellent—close to the metro and situated on a vibrant street filled with food stalls and street food options, which I found delightful.One challenge I encountered was that the staff did not speak English, which made communication a bit difficult at times. However, they were always willing to help whenever I needed assistance, which I truly appreciated.While my expectations were slightly higher, the overall experience was satisfactory. The combination of the convenient location and helpful staff made my stay enjoyable.

The hostel is super conveniently located close to metro, restaurant, cute vintage stores on Gulou Street, within walking distance from the Drum and Bell tower and the Lamma Temple. Great nightlife options! The hostel's interior is very cozy, it looks like a small cottage! Waking up in the morning in the hutong and seeing the old roofs stretching out in front of you gives you a real feel of authentic Beijing life. The restaurant serves tasty food in a comfortable setting, it's very easy to meet people (fellow travelers or just regular visitors). The hostel is across from the China Academy of Theater and there is a beautiful theater + cafe just down the alley. Staff is friendly and accomodating, use google translator if you run into communication problems. I highly recommend this hostel to solo travelers (I stayed in the 2 bed female dorm) and anyone looking for a calm, cozy place in the center of Beijing.

No complaints.

Perfect location in a an amazing area of town with short walking distance to Metro station, yet super quiet and cozy!Staff is extremely helpful and friendly
