Location, very close to the subway and easy to find. Clean place. Nice staff,the owner speaks English. A big area to hang out, there are drinks,coffee and breakfast to order at the reception. I stayed in a 4 beds room and we had enough space. It seems there's not big choice of hostels in Beijing anymore and hotels are ridiculously expensive. So I really liked this place for affordable price and location.

Would be great if the beds had curtains.

The location was great, close to the Lama Temple station, and was close to 7/11 & Starbucks. The staff were helpful and nice. The rooms were ok but the shared spaces were quite nice.

Wish the bathrooms and sinks were slightly cleaner. The sheets could also be newer and slightly cleaner as well. Understandably it is an affordable hostel, so the cleanliness was not too bad.

It was clean and nice and convenient to the train station. It was also near to the lama temple and the small roads with many interesting shops on the opposite side of the road (hutongs). The owners were very nice in helping me get accommodated but also helped me settle my SIM card and also I also lost my phone when I already checked out and wanted to leave. So they helped me to get back my phone! I also left behind a bag and helped me keep it a few days after I left.

Sharing a 4 bunker beds can be hit or miss. Unfortunately we had one guy who was a bit weird and noisy during the stay and disturbed the others quite a bit.

Staff was friendly and the location good. The hostel is located in an alley, looks a bit weird first but it's safe there. I had a bit trouble finding it, the lication ln booking is different, make sure you copy &paste the chinese address when ordering a didi. The little kiosk at reception was great to get some snacks and drinks when needed. I loved the working air condition!

The building is very old and the bathrooms deserve renovation but all over it's fine for a few days and the staff cleaned regularly.

Good place to meet other travellers and get tips for the rest of China if you are just starting out. Decent location as you are walking distance to a few sites and easy walking distance to the subway. The shared bathrooms were seemingly constantly being cleaned so that was good. They also had laundry machines in the bathrooms you could use. The staff were amazing! They helped us figure out how to use different apps to purchase train tickets, get didi working on our phones, etc.

The rooms were a bit messy, also in my room the light from outside shone directly onto my bed and there were no curtains and no way to hang anything to block the light.

It was very social when I was there which was really nice. Staff were super helpful and accommodating and there was lots of space to work from/hang out in so you're not confined to your room. I found the location to be really good and very close to the metro station and easy access to the airport and train stations.

While the price is good for Beijing, the price is still a little higher in comparison to what you get. Facilities are a little dated and basic compared to other hostels I stayed in across China.

I enjoyed my stay, it’s close to a subway station like 10 mins walking to Lana temple subway station , which is very convenient , the girls at the reception helped me booking a tour and a ticket for different attractions. I appreciated that the place was clean , the showers very good and also the bed and sheets. The surrounding are not very pretty and can at first give you a bad impression but the place it’s very safe

They don’t have a kitchen or access to drinking water.

I stayed at P.loft for a 19 hour layover to shower and nap. P.loft provided an excellent brief introduction to Beijing. The guesthouse is located in a very interesting neighborhood close to interesting alleys and shopfronts and within walking distance of the lama temple (one of the only temples not requiring advance booking in Beijing). P.loft was the best place to stay as a solo traveler. I met so many interesting and fun travelers. There is an outdoor and indoor airconditioned space to hang out and meet other people. The staff are gruff and a little impatient, but underneath the gruffness can be kind too.

The dorms are hit or miss, depending on who you are sharing with. Fellow travelers loved their dorms. I, unfortunately, shared a dorm with someone who spoke loudly on the phone the entire day, even when I was obviously trying to nap and even after I asked her to speak on the phone outside. I could hear her through my earplugs. So some fellow travelers can be inconsiderate in ways I have not experienced in dorms before. I did not manage to get any sleep in that dorm.

Excellent location - near all public transportations and all sorts of restaurants and tourist attractions. International vibe - you can communicate and share insights with travellers from diverse culture and countries. Excellent security - we need to use security digital key to access to each room Cleaness- you can get a full package of clean sheets and pillow cases to sleep, the bathroom gets cleaned constantly Friendly and helpful staff - the staff went the extra mile to assist me when I need urgent help (beyond my expectations with solution based approach).

We need to prepare our own toilet paper, which is common everywhere in China

After reading some reviews, I booked for only one night to sus things out. After a night, I extended my stay for 5 nights. I stayed in a 6 dorm and didnt have any issues. The limited toilets and showers were cleaned often and i never had to wait in line (in December). I found half of the staff extremely helpful (they helped me buy a charger cable and tripod, delivered on the same day) and the two younger women not so helpful. Id say this hostel reflects the price you pay. For me it wasnt bad at all, just like any budget hostel in europe/asia.

Walls are kind of thin - nothing ear plugs cannot fix 🙂 Two young female staff members seem to prioritize their tasks more than providing customer service (dunno, maybe it was a few busy days). Some of the locals smoke in the toilet, but thats actually a nation wide problem and not hostel specific.
