Peking Youth Hostel, Beijing


I know this might come across as a bit 'commercial'-ish, but I want to do a quick post on how much we LOVED our hostel in Beijing. Being young travels on a budget, staying in hostels is really the only way to go, and the Peking Youth Hostel in Beijing was by far the best hostel I have ever stayed in.
Clean. Relaxing. Cheap. Fun. Pretty.

Traveling in Asia (and especially China), can be a very intense experience. The sounds, smells, heat (in the summer), and crowds can be extremely overwhelming. The minute we walked into Peking Hostel, all things were calm, cool, and quiet: perfect :). It was a very much needed oasis from the 'outside world'.

Another HUGE plus was that they had their own cafe. They made the most delicious food and drinks (even a good Margarita!), for very cheap prices. The "Peking Breakfast" was one of our favorites..and we ordered it a few mornings in a row :).

The had both private rooms, and bunk rooms for bigger groups. All were located around the central courtyard. We had a private room with a private bathroom, and it was just right. Small and simple. I was in love with the bathroom sinks. So pretty!




So, if you find yourself in Beijing, and need a good place to stay for cheap- I highly recommend this place!
More pics/stories from Beijing coming soon!
