Vivere come dei pechinesi …
Pros:

Non è un albergo in stile occidentale, ma è molto accogliente, per qualsiasi necessità basta chiedere (con un traduttore alla mano), la colazione è nel loro stile con la signora che cucina in diretta. Abbiamo avuto dei problemi e li hanno subito risolti,hanno sempre pulito la camera. Tutti sono molto gentili. La posizione è comoda e alcune attrazioni si possono raggiungere a piedi con un buon passo in una mezz’ora . Si trova in un Hutong , molto tranquillo vicino a delle scuole . Dopo mezza giornata ci siamo sentiti come a casa nostra !

Cons:

Orario della colazione andrebbe un po’ anticipato in caso di partenza per escursioni.

An unforgettable Beijing experience filled with authentic hutong charm, excellent service, and wonderful family memories
Pros:

This was one of our favorite places to stay during our trip to Beijing!
The hotel beautifully captures the charm of Beijing's traditional hutong culture. Its unique design combines historic character with modern comfort.
The room was clean and comfortable, with excellent facilities and attentive service. There are also plenty of local restaurants and food stalls nearby, making it easy to enjoy authentic Beijing cuisine and the lively neighborhood atmosphere.
A special mention goes to the hotel's adorable cat, Pudding, who made our stay even more enjoyable.!The breakfast was also plentiful and delicious, with a great variety of choices to start the day.
We were also pleasantly surprised by the complimentary keychains gifted by the hotel. The children absolutely loved them.It was such a thoughtful gesture that helped create wonderful memories of our time in Beijing.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would definitely choose this hotel again on our next visit to Beijing. Highly recommended! 🐱❤️🏮✨

Pros:

Район вполне недалеко находится от многих точек назначения

Cons:

Не совсем понравился запах от кошачей клетки. Ходить каждый раз мимо было неприятно. Завтрак очень скудный.
В день заезда улица была перекрыта обрезкой деревьев. Так же не работал кондиционер

The stay was fantastic and the hotel staff were the best part, they were proactive in helping us figure out where to go
Pros:

The staff were exceptional, the location was also awesome, we didn’t use any metro and just cycled everywhere or used DiDi.

Cons:

Slightly older building with mold in the bathroom but it wasn’t an issue seeing the price of the room.
