This hostel has location, location, location, about five minutes walk from the East Gate of the Forbidden City and Tianamin Square, and it’s a converted traditional house built around a large garden courtyard and decorated in the Chinese style with antique furniture and brightly coloured walls, so it fits in with its historic surrounds. This is a leafy, historic area close to the hutong lanes – great for cheap food and shopping.

You don’t get the luxury of a free breakfast but you can pay for a continental or a local style morning meal and for bike hire, or cable TV or a hair dryer, depending how far you like to rough it – either way the Peking International also has a sauna, café/ bar and TV room, so you’re in good hands. A reading room, a restaurant, a mini supermarket and a tour desk are also part of the deal and you can choose from a selection of rooms ranging from private singles or family rooms to dorm rooms sleeping up to 12 people.
