Hongduan Hesu Hotel (Beijing Guomao Hujialou Subway Station)

Good service, nice staff , clean room excellent location so good

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 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

Not great to be honest: 1. Shared toilet didn't have a lock on the door 2. No toilet paper in toilet 3. Pods very poorly sound insulated similar to sleeping inside a milk carton. 4. When checking in they tried to make us cancel on trip and pay them direct to avoid agency fees. 5. Quite dirty sheets had stains and cigarette burns on them.

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.

Good for budget
