I was here during the 2008 Olympics. Me and my friend had booked beds from dormitory, but there was some kind of mix-up so we ended up staying in this really nice hotel like room with two our friends from the road! :D So I don´t know about the dormitory but douple and triple rooms are really nice and worth money! You can get rooms for 3-20€ per night depending what room you want..

There are two metro stations nearby, Dongsishitiao station and Dongzhimen station. And there is a airport shuttle in Dongzhimen station also, so it´s really convinient. There is also this little cards where reads hostel addres in chinese so you can just so it to your taxidriver and then just enjoy the ride:D

The hostel was really clean and nice. There was also 7-11 in nextdoor so you can buy your supplies there or from little shops down the street. There is also a restaurant in hostels lobby with basic food for cheap prices, and a pool table!

They also arrange tours to different parts of Great Wall and Ming Tombs. And you can also arrange tickets and transportation to Kung Fu or Acrobatics shows through them. There is also internet and it cost couple yuan per hour if I remember correctly.

Really nice, modern and clean hostel!
