Zhihexing Youth Hostel (Chaoyang High-speed Railway Station Shilibao Subway Station)

都好都還行

Nothing to say, very good looking dormitories !

Staff - super friendly, helpful and you can book tours such as Great Wall of China and forbidden city through them. Room - tiny but clean - unfortunately you have to make your own bed which makes no sense to me and did annoy me. Location - near lots of restaurants and metro station, good to see more suburban Beijing where locals live. Social - not too social, many locals and no activities (this is what to expect from hostels in China tho, so not unique to this hostel) Recommendations - staff are truly great! I would recommend staying in the double bed room as I also stayed in there and in the dorm. The dorm was tiny (if you have a big bag or suitcase there is nowhere in the dorm to put it, very very very small) and this room was also small (although I did have two very large luggage - unlike the queen bed room which has lots of solace. You also have to use the communal bathroom (so do dorms) (toilets smelled and they always ran out of toilet paper). Overall would recommend, just get a double bed room with private bathroom.
