Home Inn Paibo Cloud Hotel (Beijing South Railway Station Yangqiao Branch)

Very affordable price and very clean. 30 minutes from the main turistic places as the forbidden city,i do not recommend to take metro, it is far away. But it is by taxi at 10 minites from the train station. Taxi is very cheap and restaurants nearby are very traditionals. It is a hotel for chinese locals but i love it, they used wechat to help me and translate, very friendly. My only recommendation for europeens is to ask for a room far from the elevator, specially with jetlag, my neighbours woke up early and they were a little loud at 8 am.

Room was small, which was fine but it was dirty. Carpet looked like it hadn't been cleaned. There was a musty smell, and the shower looked quite old, but was pretty clean. Biggest issue was that the walls were very thin, and other customers kept smoking which would waft into the room and stay. So the entire time we stayed, it was constant noise and the smell of cigarette smoke. To be honest, it was also quite far from the main attractions in Beijing, which I didn't realise until I arrived. Decided to leave after a night because the smell and noise were unbearable for me.
