Beijing Downtown Backpackers
This hostel is in a great location, which makes getting around and exploring extremely easy … something I value especially when traveling alone. They also arrange a wide variety of tours and activities which can make sightseeing easier. I took their Jinshanling Great Wall trip. But the primary reason I would recommend this to solo travelers is for the helpful staff. In a country in which I know only a basic spoken language and nothing of the written language, the value of friendly, helpful local staff can hardly be overstated. I have stayed here several times. On one occasion I got very sick during my stay but the staff was genuinely concerned and looked after me. They helped me make phone calls to contacts I had arranged to meet. They never made me feel as if I was intruding or dumb for any of my inquiries or requests for help. Also, they provide airport pick-up, which is a relief when arriving in a foreign country. So you don’t have to hit the ground running trying to figure out what a reasonable taxi rate should be, etc. The hostel was a nice mix of young and older people … I met some nice folks, all younger than me, but it was mellow and casual, not a “party” atmosphere.
