Tips
For those who are planning to go to China, be aware of some nice chinese people who would introduce themself asking for a little english practise. After a little chatting they will ask you to join them to have some tea, food or something like that. If you agree to do it, you will find yourself with a very big bill to pay (30-50 euros) in a country where you can eat lunch or dinner for 3-4 euros.
Really, they seem very very nice so be aware of that. They are always in the most turist places
Eating & Drinking
Sleeping
Really nice place at the very heart of Beijing. 10 minutes walking from the Tiannamen Square. And 2 minutes walking from subway line 2 in Quianmen Square. You also can ask for airport pick up by email for few euros (10-15€).
Bedlinen included in room price, internet free access over wifi and english speaking staff. Food at the restaurant is cheap but don't expect real cheese in pizzas, this is China!

Nice bar with really good food, but very dirty rooms. Also shared toilets smelled too bad. Staff almost don't speak english.
They have wifi in the lounge and to Pcs to surf for free.
I wouldn't recommend it. Try the Quianmen Hostel, three streets away from this, and also located in a traditional Hutong:
