7.9Verified guest“I really enjoyed Beijing, and the hotel was quiet and very near the subway. The room was functional and cheap, and the bed was lovely. Having a shower and a hairdryer was a plus.”
7.9Verified guest“The location was perfect — set in a great hutong with a delicious roast duck restaurant right across the street. Staff were helpful and available 24 hours, and they spoke English, which was a huge plus. My private room was clean, comfortable, and heated. The 2pm late checkout made my stay even more convenient. It was easy to explore the main streets on foot or take a cheap cab to central Beijing. I highly recommend this hotel for its location, cleanliness, and helpful staff.”
