Reviews and Ratings
I had a fantastic stay at the hotel. The room was compact but had everything I needed, including a supply of washing powder for the washer/dryer. Coming back to the big, clean room after exploring the authentic area was a luxury. The bed was big and comfy, and everything was spotlessly clean. The service was good, with staff who spoke English well and went out of their way to help with local travel arrangements. The location couldn't have been better, right in the heart of the hutong area and within a short walking distance to the subway station. Although the dining experience was just okay, the hotel's facilities were decent. Overall, a great value for money.
The hotel is situated in a lively area, just a stone's throw away from the nearest train station and surrounded by vibrant street food stalls. The rooms are spacious and very comfortable, although not exactly as advertised on booking. The service is friendly, organizing day trips and even providing a take-away breakfast for early departures. However, there was an issue with an additional fee for a small makeup spot on the pillow, leading to a debate about charges. The location is excellent, with a bustling food street right below the hotel, complemented by a nearby metro station. The dining options are great value for money, offering a mix of Chinese and Western dishes. There are traditional regional homemade products available. The hotel facilities are satisfactory overall.
