Presley, United Arab Emirates

Wonderful small courtyard hotel in Beijing hutong area. Room was quiet. Lots of small restaurants in the area and walking distance to the subway for other sites. Staff was exceptionally friendly and helpful. Great place to stay when seeing Beijing. We had a family room, perfect for the three of us.

Richard, United States of America

The hotel, and the room, are very clean. Staff is helpful and friendly. The breakfast in the hotel restaurant was excellent value, but there are also plenty of pastry and fruit shops around the corner. The neighborhood is great.

Chi, United States of America

Very friendly staff. Although some of them speaks little English, they always tried to help me with getting taxis, etc. The hotel locates in a middle of hutong (old street) and I could experience a bit of local life. Walking distance to two underground stations.

Yuka, Norway

Great location. Not the biggest rooms, but that's the trade off for staying in a Hutong. You're right in the middle of daily life. Subway stations are 10 minute walk away - from there you can go nearly anywhere in Beijing.

Peter, Australia

It was really hot in Beijing, the courtyard was very nice and cool but our room was a bit stuffy.

Rongying, New Zealand

The young man at reception on the night of 11 to 12 May was very helpful, even carried our bag and spoke to the taxi driver who took us to the airport. The courtyard is good to sit and relax.

Sarah, Australia

Loved the location in a typical Chinese hutong. Very cosy authentic rooms. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Close to metro too for easy transport around city!

Gemma, Ireland

Staffs are very friendly and helpful. They offered me not only valuable information for tour, but also friendly conversation. Especially one staff , 田中さん (Tanaka-san), gave me a personal support.

“Authentic Chinese experience”
- • Leisure trip
- • Family with young children
- • 2 rooms
- • Stayed 4 nights
- • Submitted from a mobile device
눉Only down side was that being a family of 5, we needed two rooms, which I asked for close together. They weren't, which was ok as our kids are old enough, but is wasnt super convenient. It might be that they had families with younger kids that they prioritised, in which case they were quite right to do so.
눇Loved the authentic Chinese experience; the hotel decor and rooms were charming and the bathrooms were a little quirky! Lovely friendly staff. Choice of lovely outdoor deck or character filled courtyard area to enjoy a cold drink. Did I mention how nice the staff are?

눇The staff was very friendly and spoke Enlish our used translator app which worked well. The room was for 3 persons and ok but on the pictures on Booking.com the room looks much bigger. So that was a bit disappointing. More realstic pictures would be nice.

“typical chinese hotel in a typical chinese hutong”
- • Leisure trip
- • Solo traveler
- • Single Room (one person)
- • Stayed 4 nights
눉Unfortunately there was no fridge in the room (considering the temperature and humidity in bejing during summer, that would have been nice). the hotel had a typical chinese inner courtyard, which was nice to watch and have - however some rooms were located around the courtyard, when some people gathered there, it was quite loud - meaning: sleep adè ;)
눇The staff was really friendly and willing, you got a new waterbottle in your room every day, shampoo and shower creme were also replaced every day (so no need to bring your own showering stuff :) ). the hotel is located a 5 minutes walk next to a large subway station, only a few stops to the shopping district and the forbidden city.

“We were only there 1 night before flying back home.”
- • Leisure trip
- • Family with young children
- • Family Room without Window
- • Stayed 1 night
눉Taxi driver would not drive down the narrow road and so dropped off 1 woman with 3 girls and lots of luggage a block away with no explanation to where we needed to go. Police officer standing on corner laughed at us when we asked for assistance (I showed him the hotel name and address which was written in Chinese as well as English). Not much room for our luggage.
눇Man at check-in very nice- waived the $100 cash deposit when he realized my American bank was not allowing me access to my own account. I liked the beds in the alcoves and the combo shower/toilet. A mini-fridge would have been awesome.

눉When I checked in I was asked to pay a fee which was more than the price on booking.com and I found he double taxed on the room fee. He didn't seems to do it by intension but it took a bit of time to explain until he understand. Also, I was asked to move the room during my stay although I booked three nights in the same room.
눇Very friendly staff. Although some of them speaks little English, they always tried to help me with getting taxis, etc. The hotel locates in a middle of hutong (old street) and I could experience a bit of local life. Walking distance to two underground stations.

눉The cleaners used the corridor just outside our room to tidy up the towels, hence they started making noise around 5am. That was very annoying for us.
눇Location was fairly ok to walk or take underground to the main touristic attractions in Beijing
