北京万朋宾馆

So far we've stayed in 3 hostels here in Beijing and Sunrise Hostel has been our favorite. The staff is very friendly and the hostel seems to attract a young, talkative crowd. If you traveling solo or in a small group and you're looking to meet other travelers, this is the place for you. The hostel also has a cool little restaurant/bar which has cheep bear, soda, water and surprisingly good food. It's a cool little place to decompress after a long day of walking around the city. The location is top notch. A 10 min walk to Tianemen Square, Forbidden City, Wufunjing Shopping District, and night market.

Sunrise Hostel is one of the good hostels in Beijing...and there are a good many of them.The location is excellent....walking distance to Tiamen Square and Forbidden City...also Warfunjing Street is just 5 minutes away...and a short walk away, is the "do not miss" attraction , the night market, selling all kinds of food on skewers,(and do savour the unexpected delights).The rooms are reasonably big and clean, though could have been more so..the aircon works ...and you can pay a little more for an ensuite. The hostel is all on one level, an added plus point to the older travellers.Lockers are available at no extra payment and also internet.The attached cafe gives reasonably good breakfast as well as some local dishes..but why eat here when all the delightful Chinese food is just a stones throw away.And finally the Reception is manned by youngsters who speak very good English...another plus point in China...and they are always willing to help in arranging tours, renting cycles, maps, and giving advise on how to take care and protect yourself and not get cheated....something very very common in Beijing.And take care...lots of fake currency in circulation.Avoid taxis and take the metros wherever you need to go...safer and cheaper.

I stayed here for 1 week. Pretty good hostel. Good location. Staff are very helpful and kind. 2 toilets and 2 showers in the hall where I lived. the rooms are ok. aircon, bed and "locker". The food and drinks in the bar is good and cheap. Easy to meet fellow travelers. Internett is kinda slow. but who cares? Go for it!

这里地理位置很好，大概离故宫10分钟吧，我是从东门进去的。离王府井更近 员工很热情，能细心告诉怎么坐车。老外很多，晚上他们还有party。虽然我英语不太好但很喜欢这样的气氛。可以免费上网。
