Staying at this boutique hotel was a delightful experience. It offered a unique traditional Chinese living atmosphere while providing modern comforts. The rooms were spacious and well-maintained, but the water pressure in the bathrooms could be improved. The service team was outstanding, always going above and beyond to ensure we had a memorable stay. Additionally, the hotel’s location in the historic hutong area made exploring Beijing convenient and enjoyable.

I had a fantastic stay at this charming hotel nestled in a traditional hutong. The suites are spacious and beautifully furnished, although the shower curtain could use some improvement. The breakfast was delicious, and I enjoyed one evening meal that was quite satisfying. While I appreciated the friendliness of the staff, I did have a minor issue with one of the tours booked through the hotel. Overall, this spot offers great value with unique amenities that enhance the experience.

The hotel is visually stunning, nestled in the charming hutongs of Beijing. While the rooms are beautifully designed and comfortable, some aspects like the entry process and lack of natural light were less than ideal. The service was exceptional, and the hotel's location made exploring the city easy and convenient, though the breakfast hours could be improved for night owls.

My stay at this hotel was a mix of amazing experiences and a few drawbacks. The location in the traditional Hutong area is perfect for immersing myself in local culture and enjoying nearby attractions. The staff went above and beyond to make my visit comfortable, but the room I stayed in was a bit lacking in natural light and amenities. Overall, it offered a unique experience, but the room's windowless setup was not ideal.

My stay was absolutely wonderful! The hotel exudes a peaceful vibe as soon as you step inside. The common areas were beautifully decorated, and the staff was exceptional, always ready to help with a smile. I loved that we could easily walk to local restaurants and shops. The only downside was that the bed was a bit harder than I prefer, but that may just come down to personal taste. Overall, it was an excellent experience with great value for money.
