Mijia Youth Hotel (798 Art Park Gaojiayuan Subway Station Branch)

It's a big hostel. It works professionally. There was a group of several members dedicated for cleaning. Whenever I was in the hostel in the morning or in the afternoon there was something cleaning somewhere. The staff was friendly. You get a pair of slippers and a toothbrush with a small toothpaste when you check in. The bed was box style so there was a curtain to give you little privacy. You have socket for recharge, a little lamp, little shelfs, a little cabinet and hangers. There were three water purificators, a big one in the common room and two small ones, there was even a kettle for boil the water on a table in the room. There was a microwave in the common room. There was a terrace in front of the hostel. There were air-conditioning in the room and larger cupboards. The toilet paper was provided from a central distributor in the bathroom. The shampoo and liquid soap were also provided. It takes about 45 min, an hour to go in the city center including the walking from the hostel to the metro station. There was a supermarket close to the hostel. Little restaurants were available there too. The area is an art district. I have a different post about it. The internet didn't work properly in a few evenings so if you have important things to do the morning hours are better.

Absolutely disgusting bathrooms. Human waste, dirty floors, lack of toilet paper, seemingly apathetic front desk staff to cleanliness. Rooms were clean enough, although there were no rugs to dry your feet from the disgusting bathroom floors, so floors become dirty quickly. Rather far from nearest subway station. Beds themselves were very clean and hygienic.

The staff are very nice, from the front desk, to the cleaning staff and the hostel is situated in a great area, the 798 art district. I stayed here for 17 days and had no issues. I would highly recommend staying here and I will return if I need a place to stay in Beijing.
