Staff Support Excellent and overall, "Brilliant" place to stay
Pros:

This place is hard to find so we were lucky that we pre-booked transport from the airport direct to the hotel as it is situated in the middle of a Houtong (my spelling) and very had to find without specific instructions or a detailed map. The staff were exceptional and supported us with everything. We could name individuals, but that would not be fair on the others. Everyone, and they know they are, were wonderful. The room we had was quiet and directly opposite the central pond which itself was stacked full of Carp.

The breakfasts were fine, although if you did not get get there early it was difficult to find a table. But that is no reflection on the staff, just that there were few tables available. The beds were lovely, the shower worked very well and the hotel was lovely. Although we were in a small residential area off the main road, it was very peaceful and quiet and more importantly it was safe. At no time did we ever feel unsafe and the locals, often sitting outside on their chairs were very friendly too. We could walk through the area morning or night and we never felt we had to look over our shoulders.

We had not realised that the hotel was a short walk to the Forbidden city and we could have walked there ourselves in less than 45 minutes. But the staff arranged a trip for us and also arranged the transport. This was paid through the Wi Pay service. When we departed we decided to leave them a large tip because of the quality of service they had offered and the fact that we felt reassured throughout our time there. Would recommend this place to anyone coming to China, especially for the first time. The staff spoke English and when there were any difficulties they had translation apps on their phones which they were always happy to use. When we left they arranged a taxi for us and used the chat facility on their phone to ensure we went to the right part of the train station for the drop off. Absolutely wonderful time staying here.

Cons:

There was nothing to dislike. From the moment we walked into the place the staff were friendly and helped us with everything. We were a little worried about travelling all the way to China for a holiday, knowing nothing about the language or culture.

But the worries disappeared shortly after our arrival. The only difficulty we had was with the new fangled loo in the room. It seemingly operated on its own and every time any of us walked into the bathroom the lid opened automatically. We had to work out how to flush the thing in the end.

Fantastic stay with super heldfull staff. Thanks for everything.
Pros:

The staff were incredibly helpful. Julie was a great help to us both before we arrived and during our stay. We were able to have a shower after checking out, leave our luggage there, and they even arranged a taxi for us to the Great Wall of China. The breakfast was great too and had something for everyone.

Cons:

Very clean, very good room including bed and shower. We got free drinks and the whole building was freshly renovated.
