Mijia Hotel (Beijing Wangjing 798 Art District)

Nice location. Communication with staff was a little troublesome but I don’t blame them for not knowing English. We made it work using a translation app. However, I didn’t like the facilities. Dorm room’s beds had no mattress, hard as rock, and its shower was just a tinted glass cubicle in the corner with nothing to hang your stuff and nothing helping your privacy. My roomies were smoking during the day and even the night in the room multiple times during my 5 night stay. Cigarettes were often lying in the shower drain, toilet and wherever on the floor. Obviously the Mijia hostel isn’t to blame for other guests’ bad behavior, but it seemed clear to me that there was no enforcement of their no smoking policy.

Close to the art district and the metro, nothing else. But for one night would do! There is the 7 eleven close by and some small stands where you can buy food. The girl at the reception doesn’t speak English but is very kind and helpful for what she can do.
