    cute staff
    beautiful room

    Highly recommend for adventurous travelers

    I experienced staying in a beautiful spacious room with a modern vibe yet distinctly local flair. The staff were so cute, always ready to suggest places to explore and one even provided me with a local SIM card for my phone.

    It wasn't exactly cheap but the experience was worth it.

    fantastic location
    amazing ambiance

    The location is fantastic, nestled in the hutongs, perfect for exploring. Our room had an amazing ambiance and cozy feel, really added to the experience. Plus, the free fruits left in our room daily were a sweet touch.

    cozy decor
    delicious breakfast
    sun terrace
    temperamental hot water

    I really enjoyed my stay in the Garden Room with its cozy decor and the delicious breakfast options each morning. I loved relaxing in the sun terrace and the garden area after a day of exploring. The only downside was that the hot water could be a bit temperamental at times, but it didn’t ruin my experience. 😊

    unique design
    hidden location
    small room

    Great ambiance and unique design throughout the hotel.

    During my stay, I encountered several inconveniences. The location was quite difficult to find initially, as it’s hidden away in a narrow alley. This made the arrival stressful and took longer than expected. Additionally, the room was small and lacked proper lighting, which made it feel even more cramped. It was frustrating not being able to relax properly in the space provided.

    unique design
    hidden location

    Had an amazing time with friends! We explored the hutongs and enjoyed the nearby parks. The place is energetic, with staff who truly care and delicious breakfasts every morning. Loved the unique design and vibrant atmosphere! Don’t miss the onsite dining options. they’re top-notch and super convenient.

    Our only downside was the challenge finding the location initially, as it’s tucked away in an alley. It took some time to navigate through, but once there, it was worth it! Just be prepared for a bit of a walk.

    dumpling-making class

    charming spot near historic landmarks and lovely parks

    the staff here were incredibly welcoming, helping us explore the hutong alleys and even coordinating a dumpling-making class that was so much fun, making it a perfect base for discovering nearby attractions like the Bell and Drum Towers, which are just a short walk away.

    safe neighborhood
    friendly staff

    would consider staying here again

    The location was ideal, tucked in a safe neighborhood near local restaurants. Our room had a comfy mattress, private bathroom with hot shower, and air conditioning. Nice touches like a fruit basket and coffee machine were included. Breakfast was delicious, with choices like French toast and freshly brewed coffee. The staff were super friendly and helpful.

    damp smell

    A hidden gem worth finding

    After wandering through the narrow alleys of Beijing, I discovered this gem. The staff were welcoming, and breakfast was a delightful surprise with unique options.

    However, finding the hotel was a challenge as it's tucked away in the hutongs, and my room had a lingering damp smell that could use attention.
