We enjoyed our stay here!
Pros:

Nestled in one of the hutongs, this hotel offers a glimpse into the old Beijing houses. The modern-style room provides a very comfortable stay as it is bright, quiet and clean. The staff (Jennie and her team) are very helpful in providing information on the various attractions, and we also enjoyed the little conversations with them.
The hotel provides basic laundry service, and on a good day, it is nice to chill on the spacious rooftop area.

Cons:

Nothing. Just a note that because the hotel is situated in the alleys, it may be difficult for cars to enter. If you have luggages that you need help with, you can contact the hotel in advanced.

Great service, great location, great people
Pros:

Great compliment to Nina and the girls, the service was great, they helped us find the bank, exchange money, let us have a small late breakfast (1h late!) and made our trip very enjoyable. Next time we come to Beijing, we know where we are going.

Suosittelen tätä hotellia lämpimästi kaikille❤️
Pros:

Pidin kaikesta.Hotelli on pieni,siisti ja sijaitsee lähellä Lama Temppeliä mielenkiintoisella Hutong-alueella.Aamiainen oli erittäin hyvä ja monipuolinen.Tärkeintä ja hienointa oli kuitenkin hotellin upea henkilökunta.He kaikki olivat erittäin ystävällisiä, sydämellisiä ja auttavaisia.
Erityiskiitokset Fufulle ja Jennielle teitte lomastamme täydellisen.

Cons:

Pidin kaikesta

雍和宮近くの胡同の中にあり、ロケーションは良いです。外見は古い胡同住宅ですが、部屋や設備は新しく広く清潔です。朝食も手作り感があり美味しく量もあります。スタッフも親切です。

A cosy retreat in the city
Pros:

Very cosy accommodation with clean, quiet rooms and comfortable beds. There was no smoking smell. Location is good too - near Lama Temple, two subway lines and a main road. Staff are very friendly and try their best to accommodate requests. You can use their breakfast area to eat at other times if you order delivery. They also offer free basic laundry.

Cons:

Not much space in the rooms for luggage, but we had a double room and managed with 3 mid-sized bags. The shower and toilet are only separated from the wash basin by a shower door, and the wash basin is only separated from the room by a hanging mirror. Have to walk through an open courtyard from the room to the , so not great when it rains, but they can provide umbrellas.

This boutique hotel provides a very pleasant stay with exceptional service by every staff.
Pros:

It is more like a B&B experience with its location being in a residential area - very clean, well kept and well run.

Cons:

It’s a 10-15 min walk to the subway. Taxis may not enter the alley as it is not broad.

Pros:

Все было очень хорошо, особенно нас удивили завтраки, никакого шведского стола, просто большое колличество блюд на каждый стол)) (около 7-9 блюд, вместе с десертами), голодными так никто не останеться. Было очень приятно, нам приносили два раза вэлком в виде фруктовой тарелки при заселении, а также клубники в шоколаде вечером, в номер.
Очень приветливый и дружелюбный персонал. Сам номер очень автоматизирован, шторы, освящение, унитаз и др. Отличная шумоизоляция, все номера выходят в общий маленький двор колодязь. Сам отель находиться на центральной, туристической улице, от нее удобно добираться в разные части района и города, рядом есть метро (10 минут пешком), так же вся улица в фэнси кафейнях и булочных.
При выселении, девушки с ресепшена подарили нам два брелочка, которые сделали сами, с иероглифами о лучших пожеланиях для каждого, просто умиление. Однозначно рекомендуем этот отель!
