 | NO.1 hostel in China 2007, voted by all hostelworld customers!
An amazing Chinese character house run by a nice local family in old hutong neighbourhood of centeral city. It peacefully hides behind busy streets, not luxurious but more comfortable and relaxing, bright, clean and full of Beijng's local taste. Want to get more information? Just google 'templeside' and you can find our own website.
The guse house impresses with its beautiful garden courtyard, sunny and clean rooms, city center location and super convenient public transportations, considerable service and travelling arrangements, etc. Of course, warm English speaking staff is more essential.
Living in this hostel can help you get a better understanding of Beijing's local life. You could never get the same feeling and traveling experience from any other places. Wandering in the long and puzzling hutong, smiling to lovely local neighbors, seeing the blue sky in the no-roof courtyard, hearing the whistle from swiftly flying-by doves, watering the garden, walking the dog, the Templeside house gives you 'a glimpse of what life in the city is really like'.
The Templeside House Hostel has the best location in the city center of Beijing. It is less than 3 kilometers to all major sites of Beijing including Tian'anmen Square, Forbidden City, Hou Hai lakeside bars and Xi Dan shopping centers. Over 20 routes of Buses and subway trains leave outside the hostel regularly to all areas. There are two old Buddhist temples around the hostel, in only 3 minutes walking distance.
Even more, the hostel has many more FREE services. For example,free wireless internet service with your own laptop, free private locker, free luggage storage, free local neighbourhood hutong tour, free dumpling making and BBQ, free satellite TV and DVD show, free help of organizing Great Wall hiking or other tour, free Chinese language assistance service, etc
In one word, once you are here, you will be here again. | | Facilities
