*8.4* Drum Tower: only 5 minutes away! (1,300 feet by foot)
The hotel is a real oasis within the noices and restlessnesses in Beijing. Special design of the rooms, a wonderful quiet courtyard and a huge terrace with spectacular view through the hutong. All-out recoommendation!!
GermanyThe breakfast is stupendous! What a bargain, free expresso/morning beverage, plus a full breakfast! The staff were very kind and helpful with checkin and checkout! The property was outstanding in terms of location, hygienic standards, and amenities. Our bedroom in the annex even came with a en-suite bathtub under a sky light!
United States of AmericaThe staff was exceptional-gracious, helpful, and knowledgeable!
United States of AmericaBest way to feel Hutong in Beijing with still comfortable staying
South KoreaThe staff was personable and made us feel very welcome. We felt comfortable reaching out to them with questions and support.
United States of AmericaThe staff really makes this place exceptional- they go out of there way to be friendly, helpful and kind. Nothing is too much to ask. They are happy to make reservations, helps with taxis, recommend restaurants, book tickets etc.
United States of AmericaLoved our stay! Breakfast each morning was delicious. Staff was very friendly and helpful. We took the dumpling class and thoroughly enjoyed the class, the food and wine, our instructor Kate, and the others who joined us. We also organized a tour to the Great Wall through the Orchid and that, too, went very well. Overall, an excellent stay. I would highly recommend.
United States of AmericaWe LOVED being in the middle of the Hutong, and the front desk staff were super helpful with restaurants, taxis, and packed us breakfast-to-go for an early morning tour. The vibe is laid back. Both restaurants yum.
United States of AmericaThis is a quirky boutique hotel that you will either love... or not. It is located down a narrow hutong very close to the Bell and Drum Towers. You might have some difficulty getting a taxi to drive down it, although in reality it is just wide enough for a car. The hotel itself, although on the small side is quite cozy and has a great style. Lots of skylights, natural wood, and so on: and the restaurant has good food. Popular with locals, especially young expats. Their media system is the best in Beijing, which is a wonderful thing: tons of movies in a variety of languages, far superior to anything I have seen in your typical business hotel.
United States of AmericaSuch a cool hotel! Small, great amenities, and an incredible attached restaurant with a delicious included breakfast. Great bilingual staff who helped us book a car to Mutianyu Great Wall.
