Beijing Alley International Youth Hostel

Good location, good value and comfortable bed.

Difficult to find, bathrooms weren't particularly clean, and no curtains in the room.

I liked that the staff was really helpful and had really good communicative English skills which is rare in China. I also liked the rooftop terrace although it was very minimal. The bathroom always had toilet paper and soap. The location is great, 2 mins to metro stop and big supermarket.

I was in a small room with 2 long-term renters and had no space at all to put my stuff. If you want to avoid that don't go to the female dorm with 4 beds. Apart from that everything was fine, the air-con also worked well and the roommates (long-term renters) were easy-going.
