Comments: Only thing I could put my finger on was that it could have been a little bit warmer inside. And we had booked a 4 bedroom, but got a bedroom for 7 people. But friendly staff, and the location couldnt have been better!

Comments: Ensure that the basic equipment like air con is in working condition before renting out. Food is nice - much less salty as compared to the Beijing food outside. Surrounded by many local shophouses. Good place to go round.

Comments: If we've arrived in the day , it'd be easier for us to get a taxi.But main thing is to know which junction to wait for taxi. The counter girl is most helpful in finding places we want to go. I strongly recommend anyone to stay in this character Hutong!

Comments: The staff wasn't all very friendly. They didn't respect our reservation only because we arrived after the time weput in the reservation (because the fligth was late),. Clean, and good location.

Comments: Good location but the room didn't get cleaned during the 4 days we stayed there. Some of the staff were friendly (especially the girls), others were not very attentive. I wouldn't recommend this hostel, there are others better than this one (that did not have any rooms left unfortunately. Otherwise we would have stayed there).

Comments: The staff out of the two hostels we looked at spoke some English, not great but some. Also, the touring guide, Monica, is a great asset because she can get tickets for shows cheaper than if you bought them at the door and also she knows where to go if you need things like a Tibetan Permit or the Bolivian Consulate.

Comments: 1) A beijing 2008 gift was offered at the arrival. Very good idea !! 2) Drinks and food very expensives 3) Computers and internet without free access : 1st hotel during a 1 month trip in all around China who asks for paying to use computers and internet 4) Tourism information not very efficient 5) Tourism tours very expensives. You can do it by yourself for -50 to 75% of the price

Comments: Good location, nice room. The worst was that the living room was crowded with way too many people, smoking, creating a terrible atmosphere. The living room should be bigger and smoking inside the building should be forbidden.

Comments: The guide arranged for our tour of the great wall had no knowledge of the wall. He took us on the shortest route available and then said we were on our own for the rest of the time. If I hadn\'t backtracked and headed in the other direction, I would have missed the best views of the wall! The location is relatively convenient for accessing sights in the area, but the immediate neighborhood is dull if you just want to hang around close to home.
