Welcome to Lama Temple Youth Hostel! Lama Temple Youth Hostel is located in the historic Dong Cheng district, on Yong He Gong Street. The nearest subway is 30 metres away which allows you to get to all the city sights quickly and easily. There are many bus stops within walking distance including a shuttle bus and airport express directly to the airport. Our hostel has been designed with Chinese culture and history in mind and provides visitors with all the modern luxuries that one expects, but in a way that is much more traditionally orientated than the majority of other hostels throughout the city.

Customer Reviews Lama Temple International Youth Hostel
| 15 Apr 2013 Heather, Australia | 80% | |
| Unfortunately the room was dark cold and not well lit, even when lights were on it was hard to read maps.
Staff were very helpful, so it was a shame about the lower scoring areas.

| The place has terrible ventilation. It wreaked of stale cigarette smoke and toilets. The lights in the toilet did not work. The women's dorms do not have windows, and the "mattress" pads are extremely worn and thin. The indoor air quality is very, very bad. I left around midnight of my first night because the smell, the noise, and then finally the feeling of some bugs crawling on my feet as I lay in bed was too much to endure, even for such a low price. | ||

| Cheap hostel, beds were ok, staff were neither rude nor polite. Bathrooms were a little disappointing- squat toilets, and no soap. A little difficult to find as down an alleyway. But for £5 a night... | ||

| The place wasn't too bad, overall. The beds were fine in terms of comfort, but the under-sheets were too small. The location was great with a main street around the corner that has plenty of western/eastern choices. The subway is really proximate, so no hassle there. The staff were adequate, pretty much on par with the 3 other hostels my friend and I visited, neither nice nor rude. I would recommend it again, but the security was questionable (about a billion signs were up cautioning people to look after their valuables, and the lockers were very flimsy cupboards). | ||
