Small beds
I was in Beijing for 4 days, 3 nights. I stayed at the Beijing Alley Youth International Hostel based on a recommendation from a friend that she had stayed there before. It was okay but the beds were too small. I'm 5'9 and couldn't stretch my feet out all the way at night which made for some uncomfortable nights. It didn't help to have 3 roommates who snored but that's what you get with a hostel. For $9/night, I guess i got my moneys worth but next time I'm in Beijing I'll splurge a little more for a better nights sleep.
Oh and the wifi didn't reach the room even though I was located directly next to the common room. Not really a big deal...just a little annoying

Booking mess up
We arrived as a group who had booked separately. When we arrived, I was told I was moved to a 6 bed rather than a 4 bed, which I didn't mind. However I had been put in a room with some men which apparently is against policy or law? So my room was revoked- at the same time they apparently didn't have room for three of our group who had booked online on the same site- and paid in advance. After about an hour and a half we managed to get it sorted and we all fitted in the hostel, but only after two other people who were staying at the hostel left early because of a leaking room. Rooms smelt like drains other than that it was okay. Wouldn't recommend because of the booking mess up though.

Don't go expecting a palace!
The first room we were placed in had lots of flies in it, but when we asked to be moved, we were immediately put in a different room. The staff were helpful and friendly and even though the room wasn't in great condition I would stay here again as the price was so reasonable!

Terrible Stay.
we ended up staying only 1 night of a 5 night booking (with no refund) after entering a hostel with cats running wild, rabbits in cages too small for them to turn and extremely basic facilities and accommodation. would not recommend.

Local razoável, banheiro cheira mal
O hostel poderia ser bem melhor. Poucas pessoas do staff falam inglês, houve pressão para o check out, e o banheiro tem um cheiro muito ruim.
Nooit meer! De locatie was goed, metro station was dichtbij in de buurt, maar dat was dan ook het enige positieve aan het verblijf. Wat een vreselijke plek. Personeel is absoluut vreselijk, onbeleefd en totaal niet behulpzaam. Ze hebben de organisatie onderling ook totaal niet op orde, ze vertellen allemaal verschillende dingen. De dorm was oké, bedden waren comfortabel maar de badkamer was van mat gas, de deur van de bakamer kon niet op slot of uberhaupt dicht. Het verblijf was prima geweest als het personeel niet zo vreselijk was, hier kom ik nooit meer terug.
Our room was really wet and the only window we had was on the common
area where the staff spent most of his time talking loud, playing video games and music after midnight. Staff was not really useful neither paying attention to us. Terre were not very polite or respectful. It was like we were disturbing them by staying in the hostel. Bathrooms were really dirty. There was a kitchen but it was reserved to staff. The room smelled bad because of the humidity and the lack of fresh air. But I heard there were better rooms. Plus it was hard to find. So you should find a better place to stay.
