Hongduan Hesu Hotel (Beijing Guomao Hujialou Subway Station)

I have been in dozens of hostels over the last few years and this has been one of the worst experiences I ever had. The hostel is completely dirty, both the hallway and the rooms. The bathroom didn't even have any soap and it looked like it wasn't properly cleaned for a while. The bed was completely hard and it felt like I was sleeping on the floor. The mattress and pillow were both completely yellow and disgusting. Furthermore, the door to the capsule I was sleeping in was completely sticky and I am pretty sure it wasn't cleaned for a while. The smell in the room was so awful that I had to leave the hostel after one night even though I booked for two nights. I would not recommend this hostel to anyone and I have no idea why they have ratings that are this good.

The only problem with the hotel was the mattress, it was too thin. If it was better it was 5/5

Really good hotel, managers are so helpful and friendly, I recommend you to book it if you are a solo traveller like me. It’s near the city centre, everything is so close, there’s a bus stand and a metro station as well. Don’t hesitate about booking.

The hostel was well located but in a bad condition. Really dirty, sticky and loads of cigarette butts on the bathroom floor. Wouldn't stay again if I had any alternatives

Nice place with Asian style in Beijing. Very close to the metro. Rooms are a little smelly (cigarettes) and not perfectly clean. Nevertheless for the price it’s worth to take a shot.

The pods are cheap, plasticy and poorly insulated (fir both sound and light). The bathroom didn't have a lock, although towels and soap where provided. The receptionist tried to give us a bunk instead of a pod, and tried to get us to cancel on trip and pay him directly to avoid the service fee. In both cases we politely declined, and the receptionist politely complied.
