I had a really good stay here. The location is convenient, close to public transport and easy to get to the main sights, but still quiet enough at night. The hostel itself is clean and well-kept, and the common areas are a nice place to chill or meet other travellers. The staff were very friendly and helpful, would recommend the hostel

I really enjoyed my stay in Ximen! The location is top tier right in the center of Ximen (Shopping, Tourist) Area. The hostel is completely on one floor which makes the whole cleaning process super convenient. In total I only had to do beds and Vacuum/ mopping. But again the hostel is NOT HUGE so most of the time I was done in 1 - 2h. You work in teams so that makes it faster as well.
The staff was very nice and helpful. My bed was in a all female dorm which was very nice.I had 2 days off per week. If you are a cat lover you will like it because the cat is there 24/7.
