The Pagoda Light Hotel

也不錯吧 。挺好 。員工友善 。 quite friendly. No private bathroom, hence not that convenient. But worth the price.

Situated at the side of the main road and thus making it convenient to find then hostels in a hutong (small alley). There is a cafe on the first floor. The restaurant serves mostly western dishes, which the diners can have on the rooftop dining area (third floor). There, diners can have a nice view of the White Light Pagoda. Infact, the establishment is within a short walking distance to the Golden Light Pagoda. As for the hostel itself, the rooms are designed tatami style. Beds are arranged side by side on tatami mats, separated by small wooden dividers. Each bed comes equipped with a small reading lamp and a charger area, and a small cabinet to put valuables. The rooms are on the second floor, locked with an automatic sliding door. The shower rooms and cubicles are on the first floor. Albeit its strengths, there are two dampeners to this hostel. One, the bathrooms are shared between the hostel guests and diners, and bathrooms being on the first floor, guests had to walk down and up. Second, the bathroom and garbage area (near the front door and receptionist) have a funky smell. For the bathroom, I suppose it is because the bathroom is is confined in the middle of the hostel, thus a lack of ventilation in the window-less bathroom. As for the garbage area, I dont suppose the cleaners wash or watch them very frequently. Seems like the only cleaner mainly cleans the restaurant. Second, the rooms are not soundproof. When I stayed there, a man with a big nest of hair laughed and clapped every several minutes in glee and utter abandon while playing his mobile phone until way past 11pm. After bearing with the noises for a while, I had to tell him off; he apologised and immediately stopped. That was when I realised he had had his earphones on while playing and did not realise how loud his voice must have been. Surprisingly, the receptionist, also awake, did not alert him. As you can see from the pictures, the hostel and cafe are elegantly decorated. However, I feel that the management of the restaurant is prioritized than the proper management of the hostel. The hostel is close to Subway Line 4.

Trendy and lively back streets lanes 胡同 to wander around. Plenty of cafes, shops, Local Chinese food plus other western cuisines as well

Get out of Line2 Fuchengmen Exit B, turn right and left two times go along the big street (0.5k). Pagoda light Hotel is on the left and then White pagoda temple ไป๋ถ่าซื่อต๊ง is next to this hotel. 733baht/person in 6 bunk bed. Toilets outside the wall of the temple is washing by stomp.

I stayed for my whole trip and the location is quite good. The receptionist especially the tall slim guy was so kind! He’s so gentle and willing to help even though communication is a challenge. Thank you!! The only thing I can comment is that the bathing/washing area is shared with the customers in the Cafe, it’s quite uncomfortable hopefully next time there’ll be a separate area for us. All else is fine.

Lovely staff. Very helpful! Close to the metro.
