FRIENDSHIP YOUTH HOSTEL. Friendship Youth Hostel (and Poacher Courtyard), the most magnificent place for budget travellers in Beijingluxurious and clean and centrally located' China Backpackers Guide. * We are also in the upcoming Lonely Planet, Beijing guide but we only just opened (Spring 2001)so you will have to wait for their recommendation! THE BASICS: Our concept is simple: we want to be the one of the best value for money, the cleanest and the friendliest hostels on this planet. We want you to come again and to tell your friends to visit us..so it is in our interest to be the best...and we just happen to be friendly anyhow! THE HOSTEL: We are centrally located and in the thick of the Beijing scene- markets, cultural monuments bars/clubs/restaurants and street life are all on our doorstep. We are based in a brand new building (with safety regulations approved by Beijing Council) built around a small courtyard with 20 twin rooms (with television, air conditioning, towels, etc.). None of the rooms are en suite but we have plenty of separate male and female toilets (clean and with loo paper!) and separate male and female shower rooms and basins. These are cleaned regularly every day. Basically we are clean and safe and ask all our guests to treat our hostel like their home in Beijing. We of course ask our guests to respect the quiet and cool atmosphere of the place and to allow everybody to get to sleep and chill out in the day. TWIN ROOMS: 180 rmb per night (per room ie twin or single occupancy. RESERVATIONS: Not necessary but if you are worried about occupancy then drop us an email at poacher43_cn@sina.com or fax + 86 10 64156866. LOCATION: We are in a quiet residential neighbourhood just off the busy and popular bar street. We are centrally located for all the best of Beijing, ideal for night life. The tube is 30 minutes walk but the best advice is to become a local and grab a bicycle. HOW TO FIND US!
