Lonely Planet review

Half the hostel is set in a genuine Qing-dynasty courtyard, and the other half in the basement of the modern, but quaint, Far East Hotel. The charm exclusively belongs to the courtyard section and the context of bustling hútòng.A budget traveller will find pretty much everything he or she could need here. In addition to dorm beds, the hotel also offers good-value, no-frills doubles. Bedding and towels are provided for all rooms, and there's internet, laundry, excellent kitchen facilities (on every floor), a shop, bike rental, travel centre and several common rooms. The location down a lively and well-preserved hútòng (narrow alley) is the choice for travellers with an eye for history and atmosphere. The hostel has several food and beverage options, including a large bistro with a good east/west menu and a basement bar. This hostel definitely encourages its guests to mingle and have a good time. Female travellers may appreciate that one dorm is reserved for women only.
