We host free weekly dumpling parties (make and eat) and BBQ parties – join in, enjoy the food and meet new friends! That’s right – two times a week there is free food!

Plus, there’s Happy Hour and special drinks promotions in our late bar.

Welcome to the Happy Dragon Hostel, your happy home in Beijing! Within two years of opening we have established a great reputation as being one of Beijing best hostels, offering everything a guest needs and more!

All rooms are cleaned daily and are well-maintained, with reading lamps, bed curtains, lockers in the dorms and drawers/cupboards/hangers/shower rails. You can use hot/cold air-conditioners and free extra blankets or a heater if you need. We have a 'quiet policy' for late at night so you can sleep comfortably as, although it's a fun hostel, we still know our guests need a good night's sleep.

All rooms feature ensuite western-style bathrooms with 24hr hot showers and free towels, linen, shampoo and body wash.

We offer a choice of American, English or Continental-style breakfasts. Our restaurant has Chinese and Western food menus and there is a no-smoking policy in our restaurant before noon,

There is free Wi-Fi throughout the premises as well as web access in the lobby, featuring headphones, microphones, webcams, USB connections – and Facebook when it’s available! We also offer free internet connection sockets in every room.

Don’t forget our Kung-fu lessons from Beijing's award winning Tom Zhang!

This is one of the very few hostels in Beijing to have a real bar, so the atmosphere is great for meeting fellow travellers and other guests. It’s like a big family, being relaxed whilst being super-clean and tidy.

We have a full tours programme to take you to the must-see Great Wall, plus a variety of spectacular shows that are guaranteed to impress. Tell us anything you need and we will do our very best to help.

We take pride that our service standards are second-to-none, and we guarantee that your stay will be happy, entertaining, memorable and excellent value-for-money.

We prefer the personal touch when catering for our customers; staff are more than happy to chat with you. You can learn some Chinese and get the best tips for where to go and how to get the best deals when out shopping – or even if you just need advice. Our friendly staff are enthusiastic and able to help you with everything; most have years of youth hostel experience and are fluent in English as well as having leisure and tourism training and experience (some are also qualified English tour guides).

In addition we can also help you book domestic and international flight and train tickets as well as being able to book you hostels throughout China. We can also arrange fully tailored trips to Tibet at a guaranteed cheapest price.

We are located to the northeast of the Forbidden City, 10 minutes’ walk east of Wangfujing shopping street and a further 20 minutes’ walk onwards to Sanlitun Bar Street. Out of the hostel on the right is the Dongsi Metro Station; you’ll arrive in Tiananmen Square in four stops and also four stops straight down to the Temple of Heaven. This Metro connects all the important places of interest including the Capital Airport, Beijing Main Station and the Summer Palace, etc.
