”Good youth hostel in beijing“

``Far east`` internation hotel, appears in the lonely. costs me 45Y for dormitory [4 beds. Common showers]. Cheaper a bit if you have international youth hostel card.

 This is very cheap [Beijing standards], central to main tourist locations [forbidden city and tianmen] and 10 min walk from the metro. Staff knows English, very clean, packed with western tourists.

many israelies.

I highly recommend.

 Only 2 problems:

a bit far from the pub and bar zone of Beijing.

a bit difficult to reach [but I managed, so no problem].

I suggest using it for the first 3 days in beijing for the main sight seeing. If you have more time, move to other hostels [i.e. the one near the stadium to enjoy a better night life.
