The overall experience is good. The layout of the hostel is good having rooms at the outer circle while bathrooms area is located in the center. Toilet bowls and shower area are separated for males and females but the wash basins are mixed. You will need to pay for towel if you need one. Staff is not quite capable of English but they are friendly and will try to help you. The hostel is just a 5-minute walk to Laoximen subway station.

Solid hostel. It's a mix of longterm stays and travellers passing through. Clean facilities, nice pods in the dorms and a chill atmosphere and close to the metro. If travelling by bicycle. You will have to talk to the security guards of the plaza to let you enter. There is an elevator past the escalators as the hostel is on the second floor. The hostel let me keep my bike inside the main lobby area

The rooms were really clean and the staff is really helpful and handsome. Whenever i had some kind of confusion they helped me. Also subway is just around the corner not even a 2 minute walk or 150m. Overall such a good experience i will go back again!

Hostel is alright. Quite centrally located. Has a large common area and a rooftop where you can hang out. Can meet people in the lobby but there won't be that many international travelers. Staff doesn't speak English but they generally know what to do. Only hot water dispenser. Hard beds, but I slept well on them. Cleanliness is okay for a Chinese hostel but not on par with international standards. Common area will be covered in trash but you are likely used to that from other places here already. I think this place is okay but I also stepwise lowered by expectations in this country, in particular to what male neighbors are emitting in terms of noise, dirt and cigarette smoke.
