Basic hotel with central location
Pros:

Location is amazing- local restaurants are few steps away, you also have McDonalds and Starbuck in walking distance, Forbidden city is also short drive from the hotel. Breakfast is basic, but tasteful. Staff is very nice and speaks english.

Cons:

Cleaning could be improved, also cleaning lady walked inside bathroom eventhough it was occupied by my husband.

Pros:

Krásna terasa na streche. lobby bolo velmi príjemné kde nás privítal ich maskot. personál bol perfektný. veľmi nám pomohli pri check oute a doprave na letisko keď nám prestal pred odchodom fungovať internet v mobile a nevedeli sme si objednať odvoz. takisto nás prišli vyzdvihnúť k hlavnej ceste lebo sme sa k nim nevedeli dostať nakoľko pred hotelom boli práce. wifi fungovala aj na naše aplikácie. naplnený mini bar

Cons:

zo začiatku bol problém s klimatizaciou, rozkladací gauč pre tretieho bol nepohodlný

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.

Pokój czysty, zadbany, obsługa przemiła i pomocna. Śniadanie bez ogromnego wyboru, ale naprawdę smaczne i wystarczające. Panie na obsłudze naprawdę miłe i chętnie podpowiadają co warto zobaczyć. Dziękujemy Max 🙌

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! 🐱❤️🏮✨
