China, Beijing

Far East International Hostel

Central location, 15 minutes walk from Tianamen Square in an old Hutong neighbourhood.
The hotel and hostel are across the road from each other.
We took a double room which happened to be in the hotel part with bathroom for 110 Yuan per person per night. You need to book on the internet to get this price. The room was excellent, huge with TV, fridge, airconditioning and bathroom cleaned daily. Tours can be organised through the travel desk in the hotel or hostel.
Very lively neighbourhood with lots of restaurants (some very cheap and very good)and shops nearby. Internet access in hotel and hostel. Laundry available as well. Hostel has good book swap and a great courtyard for relaxing and meeting people. Best accommodation we've had so far.
