Peking Station Hostel

I love the place! The lady (the one who a bit older than other staff i’m not sure she works here or she’s the owner) is very kind!!! Really grateful for what she had helped me. She allowed me to check in and rest at the very early, she helped me holding my bags to the metro station bcoz i was about to miss the last train. The place is very clean, and location is great!!!!

My time at the hostel was fine! The room is very dark if you sleep at the back and there are no curtains in front of your bed. Fortunately it wasn’t too busy while I was there. There’s only one shower for women and one for men. One night I had to wait for almost an hour because someone occupied the shower for that long. But that’s probably not going to happen often. The people at reception don’t know any English, but that’s common in China. The subway is close. Overall, good experience.

I reserved a night at Peking Station Youth Hostel because of the budget price and the nice decor of the hostel. I love places that are big and airy, with high ceilings, wooden beams and books. I was relieved that bunk beds and rooms look simple yet homey. The bedsheet was clean, bed was firm, and the comforter provided was thick and comfortable. Towels and toothbrush used to be complimentary, but now are charged should they be needed. Thr Fellow travelers and bunkmates were friendly and polite. The surprising thing was sharing the bathroom with male travellers. The hostel is marketed as a "female only" guests, but apparently not. So, just took that in good grace and flow with it. The cleaner woman was sweet and polite.

We booked the private room and it was good though. We're impressed because even though this is a hostel, they would change the towels, empty the trash and top up 2 bottled water everyday. Location is great as it is nearest to exit G or D(slightly further) of Dongdan train station. However, the exits nearer to the hostel had no lift, elevators or esclators so it is not elderly friendly or good if u have big luggages. The accessible exits are A & F but they are across the road and you need to climb the overhead bridge, no lifts as well. If u are travelling for the first time, it will be difficult to find, but look for this tall warm lighted building (at night) with this yellow icon and walk towards it. U will need to walk towards a car barrier and then make a left turn and walk straight through the alley to locate the hostel. Once u get it, it is easily accessible. If u're taking a taxi / Didi via alipay app, u can either drop pinn or type in: 北京北平青年旅社（八宝楼胡同店). Take note that the car is unable to drive in all the way due to the security barrier. So u need to drop outside of the barrier and walk abt 40m in. I stayed here before 6 yrs ago, this time the staff isnt as friendly. It is within expectation, but she didnt help to give any recommendations / suggestions on where to get some dinner when we arrived at about 8pm. But its ok. The cleaner is very friendly. And the air-conditioner works as a warmer in winter. The default warmer only works in the morng/afternoon but the room is still warm enough during winter. Plenty of hot water too. Would recommend this place if u are on a budget but want abit of comfort too.

I would say that it is a very good hostel,cheap and near the subway

Location are near to most attractions (Palace; National Museum, TianAnMen) by MRT few stations; walking distance to WangFuJing (shopping area). Room are spacious and clean, quite environment.

The hotel is ok- hair everywhere and noisy at night - a bit expensive for the room and service though. You can let your luggage after the check out

it’s located near the subway and even though i checked in late at night, i didn’t encounter any problem at all. they room was clean and they also had free water in the lobby

This hostel is very nice, conveniently located and with a very relaxing atmosphere. The staff is very gentle. Highly recommended, even for those travelling alone
