The staff is extremely helpful and friendly. They helped me with ordering taxis, laundry service, scheduling a massage appointment, buying train tickets. Location is excellent, close to a subway stop and great for biking through the hutongs. Really nice dining area/bar for talking and where I was able to work very comfortably. Spotlessly clean.

Due to layout the hotel wasn’t perfectly quiet. You can hear people coming and going, noise in the adjoining roads and the central air con system. Though, this is all to be expected in such close proximity to other rooms and in the heart of Beijing. Once asleep, we slept well.

Lovely little hotel, a combination of old and modern. Unique. Courtyard was very pretty and peaceful. Rooms were nice, modern and stylish. Powerful shower. Breakfast was very good. Coffee was great. Nice little extras - like fruit, green tea and a free mini bar in the room.

Breakfast wasn’t served earlier enough, so we missed out despite paying for this as part of our room charge

Localisation of the hotel is extremely convenient. It's very close to subway line 5 -(3min.walk) the same with shops and restaurants. At the same time it's very quiet and peaceful which is great when you want to rest after whole day of walking. Staff is extremely helpful.They helped us with many things and it made our stay in Beijing much easier. Breakfast is delicious. Courtyard is like a little secret garden in a bustling city.

The room was a bit small and somewhat damp, but in the end fulfilled our needs. The rest made up for this. A shower issue was quickly solved.

We liked the location in this small area in the hutong. Great vibe, relaxed atmosphere in the shared area. The plants and flowers made it quite wonderful. Helpful and friendly staff. The inner courtyard was well maintained and scored high on cuteness. Conveniently located near the Forbidden City and other main attractions.

Staff, Food and the Ambience

I was disappointed with the breakfast we paid for in advance. First of all, it started at 8:00. That is too late. Let´s say you want to go to the Great Wall so you have to leave early. That was a waste of money. Also, there were just 3 options that were same everyday. I do not eat meat, so the only option for me were 2 eggs with bread and salad (we stayed for 5 days so it was annoying to have this breakfast everyday). If I would have known in advance, I would not pay for it.

The hotel had an excellent location - it was walking distance to main things you gotta see in Beijing. The common are had amazing vibe and smell from all the flowers. Room was clean and tidy everyday. The drinks and food at the bar are very good.

The bed was on a mezzanine and downstairs there was a sitting area - this was cold despite turning the heating up and had insufficient light to read by - we were there in the late December but imagine that it being cool in summer might be good.

A nice quiet comfortable place to stay in a good location

A small boutique hotel, some old Chinese style mixed with a contemporary design feel. Nice small loft style room. Convenient bathroom. The place is discreet, low key but definitely has charm.

As mentioned already, wifi a bit slow, the size of the room might be challenging for two guests. The toilet and shower don’t have a wall up to the ceiling for those concerned about ‘noises’. On my 4th and last night, the automatic nightlight in the toilet kept going on by itself constantly. The room could use some renovation, extra attention to the small details, such as the tiles, spots that are harder to clean. For me these were no big issues and I would stay here again :)

From the outside it’s hard to tell what to expect but once I entered through those red doors, I felt right at home. The communal area is beautifully designed and styled, many plants, lounge music, it feels like a cozy living room. It’s very inviting to hang around, they serve food and drinks, however I noticed several guests relaxing/working with food from outside. Most of the staff didn’t speak English, yet did their best with translation app. I do want to mention there was one very friendly English speaking local girl who welcomed me every morning and made the best Matcha Latte’s. They have 3 types of breakfast options and they ask the night before to choose so it will be ready at the desired time in the morning. The room was compact, nicely styled and perfect for me as a single traveler. With two people it might get a bit cramped as there is no closet or much space around the bed to open a suitcase. I was happily surprised with the Japanese toilet and all its functions. The shower water pressure and temperature spot on, many amenities available and comfy bed/linen. Also the curtains are controlled with a remote. The wifi was a bit slower than my own esim/vpn. The small courtyard and terrace was very but no time to use it. There was no noise which was great! The location is great, only a 5 minute walk to metro stop and 15 minutes to the large Hutong area.

Nothing to say here, everything was fine

Location and hutong style

Glass door from the room to the toilet (but seems like that’s kind of standard in China). Difficult to find as the booking address is a bit misleading. Showing the address to a taxi driver he directly found it.

Hidden gem in the middle of a Hutong. Design of the common area is very cozy. Rooms offer privacy and are cozy. Staff is helpful and actually quite friendly. 3 Minutes by walk to Metro Station/possible Taxi pickup point. Good coffee! :)

Couldn't get WiFi to work woth VPN, had to use mobile data hotspot to access gmail etc. No wardrobe in my room to store/hang clothes, just two tiny bedside tables.

Great location, real local feel. Very helpful staff.

Our room was loft style, with the bed upstairs and the bathroom on the main floor. Charming, but not convenient in the middle of the night. The rooms aren’t especially private, as they all face a small courtyard and have frosted glass windows to let in the light. The reception staff are very young and don’t have a lot of experience, so simple questions like how long does it take to get to the airport take a long time to answer. Their English is not great, so you need to spend a lot of time with your translator app. The directions they sent to find the place were not correct on Google Maps, so we spent half an hour dragging our bags around the neighborhood before we found it by process of elimination.

This is a charming little hotel in an off the beaten path neighborhood. The lobby/breakfast area was beautiful. The free breakfast was nice. There is an old school China vibe with modern amenities, and it is clean and quiet.

Not anyone spoke English and the information about the area and the way to reach the hotel.

facility was ok, but a bad price-quality ratio for Chinese hotels.
