The hotel is situated in a lovely hutong area, providing a blend of local culture and convenience, close to major attractions. My room was clean and generally comfy, though not as cozy as I had hoped. While the staff were mostly helpful, I did experience some issues with their service attitude upon check-in. Overall, it’s a good value for money given its location, although the dining options could use improvement.

I had a pleasant stay at this hotel with its clean and well-maintained rooms. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, but I did face some challenges with communication as English isn't widely spoken. The location was in a fascinating hutong area that's quiet at night but can be a bit tricky to find. Although there are nearby dining options, I found them to be not worth it. Overall, it's a decent place for the price, but expect some minor inconveniences.
