Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating China 24th December 2009 Mixed Group 18-24 3/5 Comments: My family was stayting there for Xmas time. Good points: nice location, 10 min for metro station in a traditional hutong, a lot of tours, nice breakfast. BUT, not very clean, u HAVE to ask them if u want your room to be cleaned and it looks like they never changed garbages in shared bathroom. Staff don\'t speak English very well, some of them are very nice & friendly but some are rude. They don\'t give special prices for long time stay like chinese hostels usually do.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating - 13th September 2009 - Age Group 4/5 Comments: every guests wrote in your note book about towels. But you don't consider about comments. It is not good behavior. They are right. Please you notice it. Firstly, I thougth they just make a joke. When I saw the towels (small one) I understand them. It is too important if you have a bath. Except big towels, I enjoy to stay in your hostel, I will recommend to my friends. Thank you.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating - 9th September 2009 Mixed Group 18-24 3/5 Comments: the hostel itself isn't bad, although it could be a good deal cleaner (without it being REALLY dirty). we had a double room ensuite which was simple and usable. the location itself is ok, it's about 45 min walk from people's square and there is a subway station around. all in all it's fine

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating England 2nd September 2009 - - 3/5 Comments: Excellent location - close to two subway lines and Beijing Train Station. Love that it's in a hutong. One thing to note - the english address on Trav is incomplete. It should be Chaoyangmen Nanxiaojie.

A big plus is also the location: the hostel is located in a hutong, so you'll get the real beijing feeling there.

We had a large ensuite with tv and free internet connection, really nice and cheap! We were amazed how quiet it was in the Hutong and would definitely stay at Saga again.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating - 15th July 2009 Male 18-24 4/5 Comments: Really great location, nice staff, good food! What more could you ask. Dorms are cheap and have heard they've stayed cheap over the past 5/6 years. Double rooms are also really well priced for Beijing. Would recommend it to anyone. One thing, Simatai tour should only be taken if ready for 3-4 hours of strenous exercise. Take lots of water with you!!!!
