wohkoon Zhexing Sun Youth Hotel (Beijing Xidan Branch)

very small and simple room with a table and wardrobe and some steps leading to a compartment with the bed. the room was clean and the staff are friendly. room was very warm in winter and the shared shower facilities are good. the hotel is In a hutong so it can be a bit confusing to get to, just use a navigation app. no soaps are given.

Poorly ventilated, cramped and stuffy room. No hand soap, shampoo and body wash provided. The ceiling is so low that I kept hitting my head against it. As a result, there were several bumps on my head that took a while to heal. There was bleeding on my scalp too. The staff are not very approachable and helpful. The lady on morning duty on 21 Nov appeared reluctant to help me call a particular hotline for foreign tourists to pre-book tickets to specific tourist attractions. She made the calls only after several pleas on my part, but after that, she told me that I could purchase the tickets on the spot at the destinations themselves, which is totally untrue. I was turned away when I reached those destinations as the tickets have been fully booked. Another instance of unhelpfulness is the fact that none of the staff is willing to help me book a didi cab. I was carrying several pieces of heavy luggage. Since I couldn't get any cabs, I struggled my way to the metro station, who was a long walk from this hostel. This whole place is like a maze. It is easy to get lost here. The nearest metro station to this place doesn't have a lift and escalator.

The hostel is located in hutong area of old Beijing in the center of the city. Unbeatable price for a private room in the center of Beijing. There are lots of bathrooms and showers so no need to wait. The rooms are tiny but pretty well furnished though. There's individual wi-fi in every room. The only thing I don't understand is why there no any soap(at least the cheapest one) by the sinks, so you got to bring your own bar of soap to wash your hands every time when you need it which is not convenient .

located in the hutong, not that near with subway but it is acceptable. Can store luggage before check in and after check out. very clean. suitable for solo traveller with tight budget. all staffs are helpful.

It was ok. To be honest it felt more like a tomb than a hostel room. I felt incredibly claustrophobic. WARNING-if you suffer any fear or anxiety of small places don’t stay here you’ll regret it. WiFi pretty good and also showers. I’ve stayed in far better hostels. Finally it really winds me up that you have to pay for a towel, even a nominal fee. That’s just ridiculous

The stairs are quite dangerous—one misstep could land you in a different realm. I got a 1.5 cm scratch that’s now scabbing over. There aren’t any bathroom slippers, so be sure to bring your own. The room feels stuffy due to a lack of ventilation. On the plus side, there's a budget-friendly convenience store right in front of the hostel and another near the public restroom. Overall, I'd rate my experience a 5/10.
