A hidden gem amongst the Hutongs
Pros:

What a hidden gem amongst the Hutongs and just 5 minutes walk from the beautiful lakeside shops, bars and restaurants. Staying here will really immerse you in the traditional side of Beijing without missing out on creature comforts. The room was immaculate with a seating area, table, a toilet with all the gadgets in my room and a comfortable bed. The added bonus of a free use yourself laundry room with 2 treadmills and an exercise bike in the same room just in case you want to do a workout while waiting for your laundry. As a solo female traveller, I felt safe walking the alleyways at night to get back to the accommodation which was an initial concern. I would highly recommend this accommodation especially if you don't want to travel far for a good meal, drink or shop after a long day sightseeing - it's all in this neighbourhood.

Cons:

There wasn't a wardrobe or hanging space. 3 heavy metal hangers on a hook.

Pros:

The location was in the beautiful Hutong district, a 5 minute walk to Houhai so easy access to bars and restaurants. The hotel was beautiful, modern and clean but with a traditional feel. The staff were really friendly and helpful and we would definitely stay there again.

Cons:

Perhaps the only complaint would be as it is in the middle of the hutong area, getting Didis is a little difficult as it takes a while for the cars to navigate the narrow streets, so most of the time we walked to a larger road, which took 10 mins or so. But its a small inconvenience.

Great location and good hotel
Pros:

Staff were very helpful, great central location in old town, away from busy streets but has a bar district nearby. It was amazing in the sense that we woke up early with my husband and felt safe walking around at 4-5 am around the area. Breakfast was good with much choice, but for European traveller need to get used to breakfast having a choice as for lunch a little bit. The room was comfortable and the hotel was very nice overall.

Cons:

I guess the little minus was that staff didn’t speak much English. But we managed to understand each other, and that I find the most important.

Great location surrounded by charming historical sights within 5 mins walk.
Pros:

Great location but no breakfast included. The hotel is just a 5-minute walk from Houhai Park, surrounded by charming old Hutong architecture and historical sights. The bars in Houhai Park offer a lively atmosphere full of authentic Beijing culture—definitely worth a visit!

Cons:

The hotel has a stylish renovation, though it's good however it's built from an older Hutong structure, so it retains some of the character (and quirks) of an older building. My ground-floor room was a bit damp, even during the hot summer, but overall, it was a unique experience with lots of charm.

Super!
Pros:

Location is very convenient if somebody would like to be accommodated in Hutong.
In the room you will find everything what you need, if more, free mini bar.
And on the end, service at the reception. It is one of the best working receptions taking care of everything.
I know what I'm saying as I'm working in tourist business, and I work with the reception very often.
They understand client's needs and care about your needs. Thank you!
