I tend to feel that it's the people you meet and the welcome you get which make a hostel great and for that I'd give this place full marks. It's family run and the girls we met who run it are so lovely, smiley and friendly. They went out of their way to help us whenever they could. They also... More

Hotel: Lianlian Hutong Guest House Room Type: King Bed Yes it's cheap, but basics such as hygiene + health & safety aren't to be risked! This accomodation is a Hostel. It is not a B&B or Guesthouse, as advertised on websites such as Agoda. We stayed in a Room Type: King Bed. The room did have a King Bed. It... More

Initially there was some confusion about our reservation (three different rooms and different parties arriving different days and all five of us had to share two rooms for two nights) but once the confusion was settled, Bobby and the...

We had a wonderful time with Bing, William and Andy at Lian Lian. They could not have been more friendly and generous to us. We were invited to share meals with them and they could not have been any more obliging to us. It is a real taste of the old China to stay at the hutong and be in... More

It's a tiny but awesome hostel remodelled from old Beijing houses in which you must enjoy staying, especially with the overwhelming hospitality! Not only the staff offer help day and night, but the host also gives you surprises like a dumpling night and even a birthday party!!! Moreover there's sufficient supply of heat and hot water in the room which... More
