great location for NAMoC
Dragon hostel is quiet and clean with great access to the National Art Museum (NAMoC) and Beihei park. My room was simple, had good aircon, and a good bed. There is no road noise and the location is very quiet. easy access to Dongsi Metro station. The wifi is slow and intermittent but otherwise still useful. the staff are always available and speak english. I would stay again given the location.

Overall good for the price.
Limited English speaking staff, be prepared for that. Also, stuff beds and decent food. You won't die here and it has a certain charm for sure, but It would not be my first choice.

Don't go during Spring Festival
On a normal day the price is okay, but during new years they almost double the prices, and this hostel is not worth that inflated price. The food isn't bad, it's just disappointing. You order some spaghetti and tuna, and that is what you get. Cooked spaghetti with some canned tuna on top, no sauces or anything. Just a tiny splash of ketchup on the side. For breakfast you get a hasbrown the size of a 1 RMB coin. Rooms are nothing extraordinary, the double rooms are just two single beds pushed together. The area around the hostel doesn't have anything special either, except a roast duck place. The subway is pretty central, you can easily get anywhere from there. So, on a normal day, go for it. It's relatively cheap and central. Just don't go after the prices are inflated.

Small cosy hostel
Stayed 7 nights. It is a bit inside from main road and may be difficult to find. Good location. Best part is that reception staff were good at English, which is very uncommon here.

Staff helpful - cleanliness poor
The staff were helpful when asked for help. However the rooms are small and the bathroom is tiny - you can't even sit on the toilet seat properly because the roof is very low. The bathroom smells and there is a lot of damp and dust in the bedroom area. Beds not that comfy either. Communal areas are a reasonable size. The hostel also has a good selection of tours you can take.

O.k for a Hostel
Hard to find hostel as construction obscuring entrance. Dongsi metro Exit East a very short walk from hostel. Area around hostel interesting, nice eating places and quite a few hutongs. Despite construction right beside hostel it did not affect our stay. Airconditioning unit in room noisy but very effective. Had breakfast which was o.k. Hostel is situated close to busy shopping area and can easily walk to Tienanmen Square. Room is adequate for a hostel. The location is really good for sightseeing.

Cozy and Friendly
The staff was extremely friendly and helpful (except for one). The location is about a 5 minute walk from the subway, but was hard to find. Tours are a good option for those too lazy to figure things out for themselves.

Cheap accommodations; slow internet
A solid, low-cost hostel. I booked Happy Dragon because of the low price. It was worth what I paid for it. The one gripe I had was that the "high speed internet" it boasts is quite slow, some webpages hanging before they would load. That may in part be due to the same restrictions on internet flow that plague all of China.

Good location, quirky hostel
Room is a bit shabby. Ensuite bath is a sink and toilet that warns you not to flush toilet paper. The "shower" is a spray handle mounted on the wall with just a drain in the floor, and had lots of tiny bugs around it. Windowless room, unless you count the window to the corridor. Location is great and staff are friendly and speak very good English for China.

Для хотела неплохой
Довольно таки очень сильно эконом—вариант. Район города неплохой, нов данный момент рядом идет реконструкция. И почему то порою по ночам разбирают леса. Персонал говорит по английски.

立地とコスパが良い
とにかく立地とコスパが良いです。 地下鉄駅も近いし、バスに乗れば大抵のところは一本で行けます。 僕が泊まったのは一番安い部屋。この立地でこの値段ですから過度な期待は厳禁です。 コスパ重視の中国旅行(中国の安ホテル)に慣れた人にはお勧めできると思います。 今回9日間滞在しましたが、毎日世界中から多くのバックパッカーが訪れては去っていき、なかなか味わい深いものがありました。 近くにスーパーや市場、食堂もたくさんあり本当に楽しかったです。 是非また利用したいですね。 歯磨きや石鹸など、自分で持っていきましょう。

地下鉄駅に近いホテル
地下鉄東四駅から徒歩5分程でつく。設備は石鹸、シャンプー、電気ポット、など最低限は揃っている。スタッフは英語が堪能で親切で良かった。駅付近に格安スーパーもあり立地条件が良くどこに行くにも便利だし値段の安さや寝るだけで良いと考えるなら総合的には良いホテルだと思う。

그냥 그랬어요.
중국어 실력이 뛰어나진 않아서 버벅였더니 직원이 짜증내듯 영어로 엄청 빨리 해치우듯이 말해버리더라구요. 예약해도 예약된거 확인도 안되있고... 하지만 좋은점으론 왕푸징과 난뤄구샹이 가까운 위치라는 점과 호텔에서 연계하는 관광프로그램이 꽤 괜찮다는것... 이틀머물렀는데 괜찮았습니다.

Good value, good location, but poor conditions
The conditions of the property are not appealing. But considering the price and the convenience of the location, this is not bad choice. Guests should have the phone number of the hotel ready, as it is difficult even for the taxi driver to find it; a call by the driver would help. The property is located at the edge of an old area - one may think that it is not so good, but for those who want to explore the hutongs of old Beijing, you are right into it.

市民の暮らしに近い宿?
MAPで表示される位置より実際は東側にあったので、だいぶ迷いました。隆福寺とかいう建物のとなりというか、ココはいるの?っていう感じの門の奥の方に宿の名前が見えると思います。wifiはありますが、実用レベルでは無いと感じました。安宿なので清潔度等はそこまで良くないですが、最低限クリアできてるし、共同ベッド部屋でもカーテンは一応ついていてプライバシーは確保されています。 また、夜にチェックインした場合は翌朝宿のすぐ先に朝市が出来てるのでビックリすると思います。個人的には庶民的な暮らしの一端が観れて良いと思いました。
