China is difficult to travel in. The Leo Hostel is no exception to this argument. I booked a single room and a tour of the Great Wall with their offered tour group. I arrived at 11:30pm as I said I would and they had my room, however when I required about my reservation about the tour group they said it... More

Leo's Hostel has a great location, 10 minutes walk from Tian'anmen Square down a pedestrians-only street. They served the best Kungpao Chicken we had in the whole of China! Friendly staff arranged a fantastic trip to the "Secret Great Wall", a section of the Wall that had only just been opened and we had it to ourselves, amazingly! It was... More

I enjoyed the Leo, a few issues I had with it. Lack of information on how to get to tourist attractions. Internet was that great in the main part of the building unless you were at the bar. Public bathroom stalls are very cramp. The location is good. Staff is friendly. Food at the bar is a little pricey, but... More

We booked a room for a long stay. It was supposed to be "ensuite". And yes, we had bathroom but we didn't have... windows. We wanted to change the room for another one with windows but staff wasn't very helpful so we decided to delete reservation and change hostel. On the other hand localization is really great and meeting room... More

My team of 40 and I stayed at Leo for a few days back in Oct 2011. We loved our time there! I stayed in a room with 2 bunk beds and a private bath and really don't have too many complaints. Great location for visiting the city, close to metro and the Square, and Starbucks! :)

We didn't stay here but visited a few times to meet friends. We loved the atmosphere and thought the food and drinks were good value! The toilets upstairs were dirty, but this is where all the people from the restaurants go. I don't know where the rest of the toilets are, but I hope they were cleaner. Still, nice place!

I stayed in a single room, was very clean, big bed, quiet and really safe. The bathroom smelt a little funky, but not due to dirtiness, maybe plumbing? In a great area, loads of restaurants and shops, close to all major sights in Beijing and the girls and guys at the hostel were super sweet and very helpful. I think... More

The girls that worked here were so friendly and helpful. The hostel itself wasn't overly clean, but it isn't brutal. I would recommend bringing a pillowcase just for comfort purposes. It was cold in the room, basically because the window wasn't sealed. The resturaunt is amazing and it was almost always open! The food was so great and they even... More

This was our first ever hostel we stayed in on our trip through China and absolutely loved it. It's not perfect by any means but we had such a great time here.

First, the saving grace was the trip to the Great Wall. I had been to this section about ten years previously, still not crowded and the tour guide was fantastic - he works solely for Leo from what he said and they need to make sure they keep him! Attentive to my needs but not overbearing. Now for the hostel... More
