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.

I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The rooms were lovely and light, with a big comfy bed that was so comfortable and clean. I also had a balcony with a coffee table, 2 chairs, and a double swing seat to relax and enjoy the view. The service was very helpful and nice, even though there were some language difficulties at times. The location was fantastic, in a lively hutong with easy access to the metro and surrounded by many local restaurants and small shops. The dining experience was good, though a bit too Western for my taste. The facilities were top-notch, adding to the value for money.

I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The location is perfect, surrounded by a vibrant food street and in the heart of real China town with authentic restaurants. The staff went above and beyond to assist me, from booking a day trip to the Great Wall to accommodating my early departure with a takeaway breakfast. However, the dining service was a bit slow despite offering a good variety of Chinese and Western dishes, and the rooms, although compact, were hot and stuffy.

The rooms, despite being in a busy area, offer a lovely touch of posh decor and are quite spacious and well-decorated. The service was great, except for one Russian-speaking staff member who stands out with excellent English skills.
