Not much. Maybe Wifi that has a built-in VPN to go around the government firewall?

There's a Chinese expression: "麻雀雖小，五臟俱全" “A sparrow may be small, but it has all the five organs”. This applies very well to this hotel. Even though the overall building is small, it has a charming and beautiful library, with a hidden 2nd-floor balcony garden, and an artistically decorated hallway gallery. The rooms are also comfortable and roomy (We are a family of six, and we stayed in the Li Yuan Two Bedroom Suite.) They also offer unlimited free expressos (with an expresso machine), and cold bottled drinks in the lobby. The staff are amazing. During our stay, Tang Tang and her colleagues help us in many different situations. For example, You need to have a local Chinese phone number to make registration for Tiananmen Square. We didn't have one. So Tang Tang helped us to make the registration with her number. Her colleague also went the extra mile in helping other visitors set up their Alipay accounts (Almost impossible to buy/pay for stuff without it). The cleaning staff ladies are also very friendly and gracious to our children, who unfortunately made most of the messes that they cleaned up. And of course, Pudding (布丁) the cat became the prime attraction for our kids and made us feel at home. The location is excellent. It is about a 5-minute walk with many local eateries with a wide range of Chinese cuisine from different parts of the country. It becomes a lively place for a late-night snack/meal. It is also a walkable distance to a grocery store (~10 mins), Starbucks/McDonalds (~15 mins), and Wangfujing Street (20-30 mins).

The hotel service is enthusiastic, the hygiene is clean and tidy, the rooms are warm and spacious, the hotel location is superior, the room cleaning staff are also very friendly, the front desk lady Xiaowang ,Xiao zheng ,Xiaoliu are very friendly, the room prices are also very affordable, and the cost-effectiveness is high! What I got was not only a comfortable and pleasant stay experience, but also a human experience. This is my evaluation of this hotel, fantastic!

Always pleased with my stays here, and this was no exception. This is an affordable and always improving craft hotel, not like a major international chain, and it's run by dedicated locals who want you to remember the character of their community and outstanding personal friendliness. Every time I need assistance with anything (especially because my Chinese language skills are poor), the staff demonstrate the best of what hotel support for travellers should mean. Lishi Hutong is a largely residential and quite quiet hutong/alley in central Beijing, and most of central Beijing's major attractions are within a comfortable (and interesting) half to 3/4 hour walk, often less. A convenient subway stop is maybe 10 minutes walk away, and there's lots of great shopping and food choices in the very immediate area. And don't neglect wandering around the neighbouring hutongs, too--you'll get a feel for Beijing life that you won't find any other way.

Mosquitos :):)

This is a perfect location to move to any place in beijing. All are in 15 mins by taxi. More important the team in this hotel was amazing. Alex, Qiyan. Liu,,Alex,Jiahui You can't order a taxi cause as a foreigner you can't use the app so they do it for you and they find you a cash accepts one cause you can't pay by WEpay or Alipay. You can't go back to the hotel cause again you can't order a taxi so you call them and they help you. You cant rent a bike which makes your life easier cause you can't use the app you ask them and they fix it for you.... Forget bed and bathroom comfort people are more important. If you are a foreigner this is the right place for you to stay. Thank you very much

The subway is a bit of a walk to get there.

Nice rooms, the staff are very friendly and helpful. The general lounge area is a nice bonus. Also the cat 布丁 is cute.

Some minor quibbles, not significant enough to mention, if you're looking for somewhere central to sleep. I had no interaction with other guests - no-one was using the communal area outside because it was raining.

All as expected. Slept well.

I think most rooms do not have a window, and other than the common resting area, and no other facilities. Resulting in feeling not so comfortable. The external environment is considered one of the most dirty hutong in Beijing. With the same price, I think it is not a problem to look for a better hotel nearby.

The location is less than 50m from the main road, renovation is quite new and clean environment. Staff are friendly.

Wasn't spacious at all No elevator Location didn't had any subway nearby

Facilities were good

Stayed in November 2023

The only things I didn’t like about the property is that breakfast and laundry facilities were listed as being available on the website. As we’ve been traveling for a few weeks, I booked this room partially because I thought I could do our laundry. This made for an inconvenience and difficulty having clean clothes.

We liked the location- interesting things within walking distance. Easy to catch a taxi on the main street. Subway was about 15 minute walk. We liked the 2 spacious bedrooms and it was nice to have a common area near the back of the hotel to sit. The staff was very kind and friendly. We appreciated all the bottled water, fresh towels and keeping an eye on our luggage after we checked out.

1. Bad check in process they asked me quite private info, including where/when I entered China, where I have been in after entering!! I never experienced that in this journey in China! 2. Bad equipment I booked the cheapest room at this 4 stars hotel for 5 nights. however, the shower was broken without warm water and I even couldn’t turn the water off. EVEN NO CHAIR IN THE ROOM! 3. Bad response There was only 1 Guy at the hotel at the night. he tried to repair the water taps and failed at almost 1 am. I asked for another room but they said it’s full now.

The girl at the reception was quite nice and can be trusted! She earned 2 scores for this rating
