Fly By Knight Courtyard Hostel

Fly by Knight Courtyard Hostel is a beautifully renovated, traditional Chinese courtyard house. Weâ€Â™re located in the heart of Beijing City, with easy access to public transportation such as the subway (Dong si station) and many major city bus routes.

We provide clean beds, clean bathrooms and clean common areas.

Weâ€Â™re located in Hutong, one of the most famous government-preserved areas. The surrounding houses are all occupied by local Beijing residents.

We understand how important it is to start your day with a good meal; therefore, everyone gets a free set of western breakfast in the morning (bacon, sausage, hash browns, eggs and toast).

Every staff member is fully trained in helping travellers and they speak both fluent English and Chinese.

Our hostel was founded by a traveller whose passion for martial arts brought him to China to broaden his experience. If you have come to China to study martial arts and need assistance, let us know and we will be more than happy to help. We also provide practice areas and equipment.

We respect all artists. If you are any type of artist â€" a martial artist, a painter, a singer, a performer, a poet, a writer,etc â€" let us know because we would love to exchange your talents for accommodation! This benefit applies to dorm users.

Everyone here loves animals, so bring your pets â€" dogs, cats, even polar bears (if you have the right license). Just make sure you email us first so we can make preparations for your little guy (or big guy).

We also offer very low-priced international calls, but if you need to call your mommy, we will let you call for free. We know you must miss your mommy!

We believe in travelling eco-friendly. Please bring your own personal hygiene products such as tooth brushes. We don't provide any one-time-use products. We do offer market-priced products so, if purchased, please re-use them.

Our hostel provides low prices, but not at any price. We don't offer unfair trade products or food. We pay our taxes and we monitor our quality.
