Elección muy acertada
Pros:

Lo mejor el trato del personal. En concreto John ha sido increíble. Viajo constantemente y no es habitual encontrar un trato así de bueno. Me explicó lugares a los que ir, me ayudó con el transporte,… un encanto de chico!!
Cuando vuelva a Beijing volveré al mismo hotel. Por supuesto.
Gracias al personal y muchas gracias a John!!!!

Pros:

What a great place to stay in Beijing! Location is great, dozens of local restaurants within 100-150 meters, underground station literally 8 mins walk, staff takes care of you like you are from a royal family (to all others too, based in my observation, unlimited water, unlimited coffee, washing machine, clean rooms, strong WiFi, comfortable bed with orthopaedic pillow...
When I'm back to Beijing, will definitely stay here again. And the owner of all this (that's what she definitely thinks) - lovely cat Pudding 😁

Cons:

Absolutely nothing to complain about

Lovely, convenient spot in a Hutong!
Pros:

The location was great! Staff were kind and helpful. Super comfy beds, we had the large size bed...definitely worth the upgrade. Shower was hot and towels were soft and fluffy.

Cons:

Nothing at all. Its useful to know that the alley is small, so taxis may not drive up, but its only a minute walk to the main road.

Okay, but disappointing because no windows in the room, not clean and very noisy at 6am each morning
Pros:

Very good location because the hotel is close to a lively street and the forbidden city if you use a city bike.

Cons:

Each morning very noisy from 6am onwards because of the rooms being next to the reception.
