Far East Youth Hostel (Yuan Dong Qingnian Lushe)
Buried deep inside one of the city's most interestinghutongneighborhoods, but only a 10-minute walk from both the Heping Men and Qian Men metro stations, the Far East offers comfortable rooms at competitive rates. Even the hallways -- partly adorned with faux brick and latticed, dark wood panels -- are pleasant. The hostel maintains cheaper dorms behind a courtyard house across the street, but those in the main building are far better. The Far East makes a good choice even if you usually stay at midrange places.
Facilities:
Restaurant (Chinese); bike rental; tour desk; cheap coin-op laundry; self-catering kitchen; Internet access
