If you don't book this hotel, you will never know what real hospitality means!
Pros:

I thought the glowing reviews online were exaggerated, but they turned out to be completely true. This was a truly exceptional stay, marked by a level of staff care and hospitality I have never experienced at any other hotel.

The rooms were very clean and extremely well-equipped with everything you could possibly need.

From the moment we arrived, the entire team went above and beyond to make us feel right at home, quickly making us feel less like guests and more like friends. Their English is very good, which made communicating seamless—especially when I unexpectedly needed medical help. The team put all their effort into supporting me through it, ensuring I was completely taken care of.

The daily experience was just as impressive. Every morning started with an incredible breakfast featuring a wonderful variety of delicious options. What really sets this place apart, though, is the extraordinary team behind it:

FuFu: The coolest hotel manager you will ever meet. She personally ensures every single client receives maximum attention and care.

Nina: Hands-down the most helpful receptionist I have ever encountered.

Jennie, Yuki, Lucy, & Maggie: We will always remember their bright, warm smiles that lifted our spirits every day.

Collin: Always brought a deeply kind, professional approach to every interaction.

If you are considering booking a stay here, do not hesitate—it exceeds every expectation

Cons:

I didn't like one thing, that our stay at the hotel finished so fast :)

Pros:

We had a really lovely stay. The staff were so friendly and welcoming, and whenever we had a question or needed anything, they were always quick to help.

A nice little touch was the homemade snacks and treats they prepared every day. There was something different each day, and both the kids and adults really enjoyed them.

The hotel has a great atmosphere and was perfect for travelling with children. We really enjoyed our stay and would happily come back again.

Loved our stay and happy to recommend the hotel to friends visiting Beijing in future!
Pros:

Everything! The location is excellent, close to quite a few attractions and practically neighbours with Lama Temple, many restaurants nearby, also close to metro station although we didn’t need to use the metro this time. The best is about the staff - everyone was super helpful, going well beyond my expectations. They helped with directions, itinerary of our free day, restaurant recommendations and reservations. One lady booked my daughter’s nail appointment, and then checked in with us to see if we got there ok.

Cons:

Nothing. You do need to adjustment the expectation somewhat as the hotel is located in an old Hutong neighbourhood, so the facilities cannot be at the same level as a standard 5 star hotel. However the uniqueness of the property, and excellent location and the wonderful staff more than made up for that!

Très bonne localisation et personnel au top
Pros:

Le personnel est vraiment très disponible et présent quand vous avez besoin. Ils parlent très bien anglais et sont très souriants. L’hôtel est très bien placé, facile d’accès depuis l’aéroport et pratique car proche de métro. Ils sauront vous faire de bonnes recommandations. Les chambres sont spacieuses et confortable et le petit déjeuner est très copieux et nouveau chaque jours. Je recommande. Mention spéciale à Foufou et Jessie.

Cons:

Il serait peu être bien d’avoir un peu plus de lumière dans la salle de bain.

Pros:

非常用心經營的四合院民宿,民宿本身有一個大露台,可以在那裡悠閒體會北京胡同裏的慢時光,房內招待住客的飲品一點都不馬虎,提供了北京極有代表性的北冰洋與信遠齋的桂花酸梅湯,床及枕頭軟硬適中,晚上休憩時很舒服環境也很安靜,整個團隊都很友善熱情,服務充滿溫度。
早餐非常的豐盛與美味,咖啡也好喝。
民宿位置距離地鐵很近,前往各個景區或到機場搭機都很方便,人潮眾多的雍和宮就在附近。
推薦給到北京需要優質住宿的朋友!
我們下次來北京還要住這裡!

Pros:

Schönes Hotel mit sehr freundlichem Personal. Die Lage ist super, da die U-Bahn ganz in der Nähe ist. Wir hatten extra ein Drei-Personen-Zimmer gebucht. Leider war dieses auf zwei Ebenen verteilt, was für uns nicht optimal war, da es beengt war. Insgesamt hatten wir aber einen angenehmen Aufenthalt.

Cons:

Nichts

Pros:

Nuestra experiencia en este hotel fue muy satisfactoria de principio a fin. La ubicación es uno de sus grandes puntos fuertes: se encuentra muy cerca de una boca de metro, lo que facilita enormemente moverse por la ciudad y llegar a las principales zonas de interés sin complicaciones ni largos desplazamientos.
En cuanto a las habitaciones, destacaría la limpieza, ya que estaban impecables durante toda la estancia, algo que se agradece mucho y que transmite confianza desde el primer momento.
Pero si algo hay que resaltar por encima de todo es el trato del personal. Los empleados fueron extremadamente amables en todo momento y siempre dispuestos a ayudar con cualquier consulta o necesidad. Incluso nos gestionaron unas entradas y tuvieron con nosotros algún pequeño detalle que, aunque sencillo, se valora muchísimo y hace que la estancia sea todavía más especial.

En definitiva, un hotel que combina una excelente ubicación, habitaciones cuidadas y, sobre todo, un servicio humano y atento que marca la diferencia. Sin duda, repetiría.

Cons:

Como aspecto negativo, cabe mencionar que nos asignaron una habitación situada al lado de la recepción, coincidiendo además con el espacio donde se servía el desayuno. Esto hizo que se escuchara bastante el ruido de la gente por las mañanas.

Lovely and cozy little hotel in a Beijing hutong, with the nicest team!
Pros:

Incredibly nice and helpful staff, beautiful and comfortable room, excellent location.

Cons:

Nothing - just note that it’s ca. 100 meters down a narrow alley, which means you’ll need to walk a few steps from your Didi when you come and go.

Indimenticabile.
Pros:

Lo staff è semplicemente incredibile. Mi sono venute quasi le lacrime a salutarli al momento della partenza. Siamo stati accolti in un modo meraviglioso, e sono sempre stati felici di poterci aiutare in ogni modo. È stato tutto perfetto. La stanza, la comodità del letto, la posizione. Colazione incredibile. Riprenoterei qui altre mille volte.
