Chinese-Style Accommodations

• The Beijing Eastern Morning Sun Youth Hostel is popular with Chinese guests, but also welcomes foreigners. This is not a Western-style hostel, so be prepared for some bare bones, inner-city, Chinese-style lodging. Spending the night there is a great opportunity to save a little money, experience the culture of Beijing and live like a local.
  
  

Low Price

• The Beijing Eastern Morning Sun Youth Hostel is comparable in price to the cheapest rooms in the city. This is the kind of room you get when you only want to sleep there. One of the reasons this hostel is so inexpensive is that all rooms are underground. This means that there is no natural light and everything feels and smells slightly damp. On the upside, it's cool in the summer.
  
  

Rooms

• There are no dorm accommodations at this hostel. Each room is private and shares a communal bathroom. Like the hostels in Hong Kong and other parts of China, the rooms feel institutional. Expect a clean and simple room, with freshly washed white linens and towels. Mattresses are thin and the pillows are not fluffy. Single rooms do not have televisions but the double rooms do. There are two wired Internet ports available in a communal area.
