Staying at this hotel was a delightful experience overall. The rooms were beautifully decorated with traditional Chinese furnishings and surrounded a serene glassed-in courtyard, offering a peaceful ambiance. The service was exceptional, with the staff going above and beyond to assist us, making it an excellent start to our trip. The unique location allowed us to explore the hutongs and conveniently access local attractions. While the dining options were good, the early closing time was a minor inconvenience. The facilities provided added comfort and convenience to our stay.
I had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The rooms were filled with incredible Chinese antiques and the traditional bed worked wonders for my back. The basement location was cozy, and the spacious bathroom had room for all our toiletries with a clean, well-set-out shower. The service was top-notch, with incredibly kind and helpful staff, especially Linda and Seven. The location was excellent for exploring the Hutongs and close to the subway, but finding dining options in the area was a bit challenging. The dining experience was delightful with simple but delicious meals each morning. Overall, a great value for the money.

However, there were some issues due to the hotel's lack of organization. The location was superb, allowing me to experience living in an ancient Chinese house with easy access to the main sites. The dining options were ample and delicious, offering a nice variety between Chinese and Western breakfasts.
