Real hostel, with very good location *

Enlarge letters A A Downsize letters A A

If you are young or young at heart in Beijing is, you should stay in sanlitun, the'Western'-and Ambassador district of Beijing. The sanlitun youth hostel was a very well located and affordable accommodation close to many bars and good restaurants. The distance to sights, to flightports and rail is somewhat larger, however, that is on the dimensions of the town itself. The hostel is a hostel. Many backpacker, lounge area with table football on the ground floor, multilingual staff. We had free Internet access in rooms (via Internet access), the bathroom was a little cramped, but still very good usable. We knew how to appreciate the hot shower. The hostel is located on a inner courtyard not visible from the outside is. In local ignorance is a journey by taxi and hostel address, noted in Chinese characters. From the bus station it is within walking distance dongzhimen easy to reach (5 minutes). We would in any case with a Beijing visit again the sanlitun youth hostel. A late check-out on the last day we had pay, but uncomplicated and, above all, quickly (we were running late).
