Céntrico y buena atención
Pros:

La cercanía con todo

Cons:

La entrada fue muy distinta y estaba en construcción lo que no era incómodo al subir o bajar con las maletas

Comme mentionné dans le Lonely Planet, « c’est une pépite « 
Pros:

Tout. Son emplacement central, la chambre moderne et très confortable. La literie qualitative. Le quartier calme et typique à 2 pas de Ghost street animée et une station de métro à 2mn. Restaurants, épiceries et tous services au pied de l’hôtel. Le top.

Cons:

Rien.

Perfect location
Pros:

The location was fantastic. Walking distance to the metro was a huge positive as well. And right next door to the famous Michelin Guide noodle restaurant (highly recommend)

Cons:

Definitely small rooms, but to be expected in Beijing I think.

Super Basis für Peking
Pros:

Die Lage ist Top. Die nächste U-Bahnstation Beixinqiao (Linie 5) ist 2 Minuten entfernt. In direkter Umgebung gibt es viele Restaurants, Seven-Eleven Minimarkt, kleine Geschäfte,.. Das Preis-Leistung für das Hotel stimmt. Wir sind schon am Morgen dort gewesen und konnten freundlicherweise unser Gepäck deponieren. Für das Frühstück waren wir bei Zarah in 46 Gulou E Ave, Dongcheng, Beijing, China, 100009. Das ist in 15 Minuten fußläufig erreichbar und bietet sehr gutes Frühstück mit europäischem Standard.

Cons:

Den hausinternen Lieferroboter hört man nachts über die Lifttürschwelle rumpeln, aber es sind Ohrstöpsel im Zimmer vorhanden. Also gut gelöst :)

Wonderful experience
Pros:

Super convenient location. Many restaurants and bars nearby. 5 minutes walk to Beixinqiao subway station where guijie is. (The famous food street in Beijing)
The staff was really friendly and there are 3 cute cats. The first floor is also an art magazine space where you can read and chill.
Overall a really nice experience and will be back.

很推薦首次到北京且需要實惠舒適住宿點的旅客，交通便利且吃喝選擇多。酒店整體舒適乾淨，走北歐極簡風。衛浴乾濕分離，設備完善。
Pros:

近北新橋地鐵站，走路5分鐘就到，周圍吃喝、交通都便利。

Cons:

空調系統是中控的，無法冷暖氣調整，但不影響住宿品質，只是房間會有點點悶。

Good location
Pros:

Location was great next to a restaurant mentioned on the Michelin Guide for nuddles and very close to the train from the PEK airport. Also many good restaurants close by. There were also cats in the hall, super cute.

Cons:

The room was very small for the price and there was no door at the toilet.

Unbeatable location and design
Pros:

-Fabulous food options just by the doorstep (chinese sweet dessert, noodles, coffee, bakery) and the entire street (crayfish, craft beer, chinese jianbing pancake, savory soy curd) and also convenience stores (7-11 and lawson).
-Very convenient direct connection by metro to Beijing Capital Airport - can't get any more easier than this.
-Massage options along JiaoDaoKou Dong street which is just a few minutes walk.
-Very thoughful and modern design of the hotel facilities and hotel room.
-Open terrace on the 2nd floor for hotel guests to use. Also, cute kitty in the ground level lobby!!
-Interesting range of books/magazines if you can read Chinese.

Cons:

The room with the double bed is a bit small. I highly recommend to ask the hotel about the rooms with the queen / king bed.
