Amazing
The hotel may be beautiful but it is the friendly staff the make this place. I would like to thank them for all their help!
Ancient setting in modern era
The first impression shocked us as we alighted at a rundown and small alley. But after getting inside to the reception, we are warmly welcomed and the sweet looking receptionist gave us a free upgrade to bigger room as she said the period we travelled is off peak. The room was much cleaner and well-maintained as expected. The photos are what we see in real. After getting know the neighborhood for a while, the alley is not too bad! It gives a very ancient feel and the Chinese culture. My fiancé is in love with a Chuan Shao stall along the alley. Maybe one negative point is getting a taxi early in the morning. If you don't mind the walk to MRT station, there's one within 10min walk. Overall very cosy hotel with nice service! It'll be good for Chinese speaking customers but don't worry, the receptionist can speak pretty okay English.
Two things to compliment them:
1. They helped me keep for handphone at the reception after I gave them a call to pick my phone which I left in the room
2. They readily accepted our request to take wedding shoot in the hotel

A decent hotel in a non-touristy area
This hotel is tucked inside a hutong down a back alley. Even though the hotel is new, the buildings around it are old. It was a good location because you are away from the touristy areas but also close (10 minute walk) to the metro station. There is a major street nearly with some restaurants with English menus. There were some little things wrong with the room, such as a leak in the shower and a leaker ceiling in the courtyard, but overall it was well-maintained. The staff were very friendly and knew good English. The free breakfast was a nice perk, even though the food wasn't all that great.
Location is outstanding. Great value!!!!
I loved the chinese traditional style of this hotel! It is close proximity to lots of shops and restaurants plus the subway. The service was A+ in every way!
No more then a 2 star
It is a good 2 star hotel, no customer service at all, very noisy place since dawn, wireless barely works, no spa, no room phone, no minibar
The nice part is the location, very close to the old city and not so far from sanlitun.
For the same rate you can get much better place
expensive for what it is
i spend there 10 days, i was initially supposed to spend 3 weeks there , but the bed was so unconfortable, room so little, and hotel so noisy that i decided to move from there.
it was almost impossible to sleep after 6am. there is no outside windows, Internet is not working, tv only in chinese.
i found that very very expensive for what it was....you can find much more better than that.
staff is ok and speak english, location is not bad (closed to the old beijing)
might be good for backpackers for one or two nights...but even for bp it is really expensive...for the same price, i found a great 4stars hotel ..with huge room..great service, good food....
We are world wide travellers and found this hotel to be a great location very friendly atmosphere, highly recommended.
The staff were great. English Speaking and helpful, catering to every need politely. The only saving grace for the hotel. Food was good too. Decorations and style of the hotel in the lobby area was pretty.
The room was small, with very limited space. The toilet was somewhat clean but horrendously small. Toilet bowl was stuck half the time with bad flushing system. Sound proofing was bad. We could hear everything that was going on.
My stay was for 5 nights in March which was during Winter. Roomtype: Executive Deluxe. The heating system was bad. The hot water was irregular with bouts of cold water shocking the skin halfway through the shower. The speed, flow and pressure of the water in the bathroom was unmistakenly the worst I have ever experienced. 1 night, the hot water actually stopped and only resumed 4 hours later.
The distance to the MRT was very far, unlike the map stated. It was at least a good 15-20 mins, crossing 2 main roads. If you return to the hutong during late night, it is very scary as it is pitched dark.
Food around the hotel was limited too. Had to walk about 15mins to get to the street with more activities.
In Beijing, there're tonnes of walking whilst visiting those attractions so the last thing u need is a lousy room. A good hotel would relax u and prepare u for the next day. if you just want to stay in a very original hutong area to experience the really olden kind of accomodation, it would be suitable. Else, this hotel is hard to be desired. The only reason for this hotel to be recommended would be that the staff were all wonderful people.
For a hutong hotel, this is considered pretty good but considering the standards of hotels nowadays, i can only grade it with a 2/5 stars.
Excellent service and beautifully decorated rooms!!
The location is absolutely perfect in Beijing hutong for exploring Beijing, and it's very quiet despite being so central. The staff were just great - the perfect balance of friendly, helpful and professional. Rooms and public areas were lovely - pretty stylish but not trying too hard.
