Nice decor and share spaces, in a super quite small street. Good bed too
Pros:

Very cute hotel, specially at night. Lots of places to relax.

Cons:

They gave us a room facing the street =(
And we could not close/open the window by ourselfs, this was a bit anoying. Also, the other rooms facing the patio were much much nicer.

The only thing I didn’t like that the rooms system was not clear enough for me i mean am not sure if i got the same room i booked but it’s fine because they offered me to choose which room i want to stay in

Pretty stylish Beijing courtyard and great location.
Pros:

Very nice and centrally located Airbnb， walking distance to the metro, easy to go everywhere,safe and convenient. The courtyard was very charming. The staffs are very nice, the room was clean.

Cons:

The room was very small, we didn’t have space to open the luggage in the room and had to put on the bed, even included a front small sunroom.

Fantastic historic building complex very close to the Forbidden City.
Pros:

The architecture and history of the buildings in this hotel complex are amazing. The layout of the courtyard and the main reception area and the rooms is quite amazing and fun to explore. The history of Beijing comes to life by staying here.

Cons:

The corridors and courtyard areas conduct noise into the rooms, and there are signs up to remind guests that sounds carry easily up into the rooms. The sliding doors to the bathroom don't offer much privacy, but the history of the complex makes up for these minor inconveniences.

Primavera a Pechino
Pros:

Quartiere caratteristico (hutong) con molti shop e cafè intorno, oltre che ottimi ristoranti. Camere pulite, minimal, stupenda corte interna e stupendo gatti. Vieni sul mio sito e profilo Instagram AndreaZambonTravel per scoprire di più!

Cons:

Assenza di colazione internazionale

Pros:

Las instalaciones están muy bonitas y tranquilas, la ubicación cerca del metro es muy buena. El personal se ofreció a pedir delivery por nosotros al no poder utilizar apps de delivery.

Cons:

La habitación era demasiado pequeña (no se podía abrir la maleta) y no había una buena opción de desayuno ni siquiera pagando aparte lo que es inconveniente.

Pros:

Very clean and comfortable, great location

Cons:

Our room was in the internal yard, so we were hearing people going in and out, others talking on the phone and this is a problem when you need to get up at 5am to go to the Great Wall.

Ottimo per sentirsi a casa
Pros:

Struttura accogliente e privata, ci siamo sentiti a casa. Posizione molto buona per spostarsi in metro e bus e quindi spostarsi facilmente per Pechino. Letto comodissimo!

Cons:

Orari per la lavanderia un po' scomodi e vincolanti se si vuole uscire presto e tornare dopo cena.

Doet alles wat een hotel moet doen
Pros:

De Locatie van het hotel zat top in het centrum maar op een rustig genoeg gedeelte die makkelijk te bereiken was. Daarnaast vond ik de kamer zelf ook goed en comfortabel. Het personeel was ook vriendelijk alleen had ik het gevoel dat ik beter geholpen werd toen ik samen met iemand was die Chinees was. De katten die rondliepen waren ook een pluspunt voor mij. Ik heb wel een geval gehad waar een kat niet mijn kamer uit wou wat ik best grappig vond, alleen kan het misschien tegenvallen als je niet van dieren houd.

Cons:

De muren zijn een beetje dun dus je kan alles horen wat er buiten je kamer gebeurd. Ook kreeg ik aan het begin de foute kamer maar dat was snel opgelost door het personeel. De dichtstbijzijnde supermarkt was overigens ook 20 minuten lopen ver weg en er was geen koelkast in de kamer dus ik moest wel even wachten met ontbijten elke dag maar dat was niet een super erg probleem.
