Paoju Factory Youth Hostel (Beijing Summer Palace Subway Station Branch) Reviews

Beautiful position. I love it...if you really want to experience the old traditional Beijing you should stay at this hostel. I love it! Also at 13 minutes walk from this hostel there is a beautiful punk rock bar called School Bar.. And I met so many interesting people here. What they really need is LOCKERS...this hostel has NO lockers!!

The staff is really helpful. Is pretty friendly for foreigners and is a social hostel. Nevertheless, because of this it can be a little noisy at mornings or nights.

I met some amazing people here however the rooms were small and not clean and some of (not all) the staff were a little bit unhelpful.

Bed is soft, easy to sleep. People downstairs can be noisy but I think that's a bit understandable. Receptionist also helped us book a spot to watch the flag raising ceremony.

Very good hostel for foreigners. Neat and Clean. Near to metro station and supermarkets. Staff is very friendly and they can speak English.

Nice place to stay! Close to Subway station and bus stop! Nice restaurants with delicious food are nearby. Plus, the staff are really helpful. And I really enjoyed their breakfast!

It’s cheap. But even at the price point, this was one of the most disappointing Chinese hostels I’ve stayed in. Sure, the location’s nice, but the beds are uncomfortable (the inability to block out light around the bed was a huge negative), charging in the rooms was awkward, the overall environment somewhat dingy. Next time I’ll either stay farther out or simply deal with the price of an actual hotel.

I the cheapest one with convenient to access from Yong He gong temple/station It is located in the Hutong ( small old style village) inside has many rooms that may be 120 beds there. BUT please consider this place has only 2 bathrooms and 2 shower rooms to service more than 100 people each day! Has coined laundry, spacious common areas, various drinks to buy here. NO towels, but sometimes it has liquid soap in the shower room. Recommended for budget people who dont care of the cleanliness of sharing facilities.

The hostel was good and the rooms comfortable in the middle of the city

Beautiful, comfortable cozy place in a great location, the place offer different services and between them visit to the Great Wall! The area is calm even if surrounded by restaurants and quite central and close by subway to the Tiananmen and many malls!

Good for low budget

Simple check-in and extend procedures; Efficient communication

nice and clean rooms, no curtains, so not a lot of privacy. the staff is helpful, but as usual in china communication is sometimes challenging, but ot always worked somehow no issues. they sell drinks and some other stuff directly at reception for super fair prices which is great. Location was awesome too. really short walk to the metro and many attractions like the forbidden city, Jingshan Park or Tianmen Square are within reach to cycle there.

Reception are slightly rude and the english level is OK. You got to make the bed yourself and there is only 2 showers on the bottom floor. Location is great easy to get to. For one night its OK.
