Neat and clean room , very good area and kind staff
Nicole, 3-night trip

It was nice and cozy in the alley.
Duy, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Thin walls, can hear neighbours easily, otherwise great.
Shuo, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The hotel is great with great staff and the rooms are huge. Definitely better than the pictures! One thing though, people don’t seem to understand it is an hotel, and they have conversations on the corridor at midnight, kids are running everywhere at 6am. Staff should be able to tell them to keep quiet
Maxim, 4-night trip

8/10 Very good

The hotel was in an excellent location and the Hutons around the hotel provided excellent food and drink options. The hotel was very clean and the staff friendly. The only downside was that the rooms were small with very limited storage. There was no wardrobe in our room, only 1 small cupboard and 1 small open bedside unit, this meant that there was virtually nowhere to put clothes. Apart from that the bathroom was a wet room as opposed to having a separate shower but that was no problem.
Iain, 7-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

It was a very cozy hotel. I loved it. It is close to a metro station (10 minutes of walk).
Ben, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

This hotel was very solid. Good location with endless amounts of stores and restaurants just steps away. Staff was very friendly. The mattress was very soft, so if you prefer a firmer mattress, you may not like that. I personally prefer firmer, but that’s just a personal preference and not an issue with the hotel. Only a couple of issues. Where my room was located, the wifi would cut in and out if I didn’t leave my phone near the desk area. Basically had to leave it on or near the bedside table to keep service. Then the other issue is the room had a slight smell of smoke to it, especially the first night. I’m not sure if someone smoked in the room previously, or if it was another room or outside. It did get better the second night and I didn’t notice it the third. Overall, no major complaints and would definitely stay here again when I come back to Beijing.

Knut, 4-night trip

8/10 Very good

It was in a quiet location but close to the subway and lots of shops and restaurants. Fairly close to Beihai Park. Beds were soft and the room was cleaned when we were away. Great wifi. Difficult to find on a map as its down an alley - I only have chinese maps so this may be why and the address wasnt traanslated well into chinese. Not a lot to offer - no hotel restaurant or bar. a little pricey for its value
