Uncomfortable beds, got no sleep

Good value for money

However, it is clearly a large private house turned into hotel. People do their best, but the whole things airs more something like an AirBNB as a professional hotel. Daughter of the house speaks very good English, but others not. Credit card payment happened to work in my case, but initially they were not sure. Basics like beds, hot water and so on are ok. I could not make the heating work, but the duvet was warm enough. It was a nice hutong experience for one time as an alternative for a modern hotel, but if you want to have luxury go elsewhere. If found it slightly overpriced for what you got. There is no clear sign - using the map which was precise I ended up in front of a big red door, and a bystander told me this was indeed the hotel. Knocked - rang the bell and I was in. But in other feedback you see that people ended up searching for a while. They do not offer breakfast but lots of eateries including a Starbucks nearby.

It is in a classic Hutong area in Central Beijing and that is so much nicer as these modern, non-descript hotels in the modern parts of Beijing. Very close to 3 main metro lines, 10 minutes walking.

People were so nice with us, they advised us about activities to do in Beijing.

Comfort is basic.

Very friendly and helpful staff. Also, the Hotel is situated in a charming and central location.

I booked a King size room and got a way smaller room. When I asked to get the room I booked, they refused cause it was already occupied. I therefore asked to get some money back and pay only for the room I got, but the money I got back was way too little, so I ended up by paying too much for that small room. On top of it, the rooms are very badly maintained and pictures do not reflect the actual status of the room. I also found a huge beetle! Do not take the guided tour to the great wall that they propose! We stayed out from 6 am to 7 pm just to be on the wall for a couple of hours, and the great wall is only 2, max 3 hours away from Beijing. The rest of the day was wasted due to very bad Planning.

See above; we arrived late and were unable to identify the property for over an hour, staff (1) was unable to facilitate payment or utilise technology to aid communication, refused to assist with airport transfer at the end of our stay (and with no WeChat getting a taxi was near impossible and we nearly missed our flight). The room was tiny, shower didn’t work properly (just dribbled) hand basin was loose, bare wiring in the room, sheets hung as curtains. We don’t mind basic rooms and conditions but not for over aud$140 per night .

This property should not be advertising on an external platform such as Booking.com. Significantly overpriced, no English signage, no English language skills, no translation capacity or capability, no eft; this property is for locals only who would never have paid such an exorbitant price for such basic rooms.

The rate is too high for the facilities. Just bed, tv and bathroom. No basic accommodation supplies like toilet paper, cotton buds, drinking water (all other hotels in China offer), toothpaste and brush. People in the courtyard tend to talk really loud and your room window is just beside them. The room is too old and moist that each time you inhale you feel like mould is going into your lungs. I asked to change my room the first hour I stayed. Unfortunately it’s non-cancelable.

Somehow the location and at the beginning the price but after staying the price is too expensive for the accommodation

The staff was not very nice. Didn't recommend anything to do in Beijing or places to go to. Not possible to ventilate the room and bathroom so it was very humid all the time. The shower was not working very well plus impossible to completely close the shower door so the bathroom was quickly flooded. It was quite expensive for what it was.

Located near a metro station and close to city centre and most attractions. Bed and mattress were good.

* One should be aware of the beds, because the mattresses are extra thin. * We constantly had to ask for toilet paper which was not provided with the cleaning of the room. * The bathroom curtain was a real mess, ripped and touching the bathroom floor making it susceptible to moisture. * We found a cockroach in the room and had to ask to have the room cleaned and the rubbish bin emptied regularly.

The hotel has a really fun and traditional vibe. Almost hostel-like (and at times diy-ish), where travelers could meet and talk at the big courtyard tables! Our first room looked cosy and also had a window to the courtyard which was a plus to the light and the atmosphere. It also had the walls covered with a clear glass so that the traditional plaster could show off. The problem was a persisting smell which led us to change to a room with just a small overhead window with little natural light, but with no smell. Which was fine after all. * The room had an air-conditioning unit which helps a ton, with the Beijing heat! (On the dates we stayed, the temperature reached 35ºC!). * The hosts speak english, and are willing to help and provide extra information which is a huge bonus - also we asked for an early check out at 05:30 in the morning and the staff accepted it without any fuss! * The hotel is located near the best food streets in Beijing (Ping'Anli street and Huguosi St), one should really check out! * The Ping'Anli metro station is located at a 10 minute walking distance, which serves lines 4 & 6!
