Lovely and cozy place, great facilities and excellent hotel staff
Very nice hotel in traditional area of city. Staff are very helpful. We just used Subway system while there or walked as the location is great. Be sure to each at the local restraunts that are on the same street.
This was one of the better hotels that we stayed at during our travel in China. Located in a narrow alley, off the main street, the hotel entrance could be difficult to access by car/taxi. Nice charming ambiance, helpful English-speaking staff, free breakfast, Wifi, and bikes (getting around on bikes in Beijing is easy and fun). Hotel is about 15-20 min bike ride from most attractions (Forbidden City, hutongs, Tiananmen square).
One of the best courtyards in Beijing, where you can experience the authentic Beijing life
We really liked staying here. It is clearly not a traditional hotel. The staff were very friendly, the breakfast was good. We ate dinner in the bar more than once and were happy with the food. The rooms are comfortable for a short stay--we were there for three nights. Make sure that you look for landmarks when on either major.
Stayed here for a personal leg of a business trip. The alley where it is located a little sketchy by Western Standards, but it's completely safe. Once inside the hotel , the staff is excellent, the rooms comfortable (yet traditional), and the open courtyard is so peaceful. Highly recommend this hotel.
