THE GOOD: First off, the building is very close to Tianamen Square and the Forbidden City. Nachinzi street is pretty much going through a revamp now and will look much better soon though perhaps bland. The hotel is reached by a small and initially easily missed gravelly road. The hotel courtyard is very clean and interesting just like in the... more

Down a hutong this hotel does not look much from the outside;2 red laterns lead the way in. Once inside there is a lovely central covered couryard with free internet use, coffee and tea. The rroms branch off the courtyard. Mine had a huge 4 poster bed with drapes, flat screen TV, en-suite bathroom with a hot power shower. The... more

We stayed for 2 nights, then traveled to the other parts of China and stayed for another 7 nights to see Beijing, a family of 4 with 2 kids, they gave us one large bed (two single put together, and one day bed), those 2 nights were very quiet. When we returned, the owner added an extra bed for us,... more

We deliberately chose this Bed and Breakfast establishment over a faceless, could-be-anywhere-in-the-world, hotel. And, boy did we get it right! The rooms and food give you a real feeling of what living in China can be like. Can't fault the location either. So close to the main attractions and the subway, should you tire.

Execellent value for money. Location is the best you can find. It's really close -only five minutes walk- to Forbidden City and Tiannenmen Square. Metro station is also very close and connection all around Beijing is easy. Friendly English speaking staff will lend you a bycicle to wander around or also an umbrella if it is raining. Rooms are comfortable... more

This place is a real find - a small guesthouse in the style of a typical old courtyard house in the real "hutong" - lanes of Beijing. It's minutes from the subway, Tiananmen Square, Forbidden City and the main shopping drag of Wangfujing - couldn't be a better location – but still a peaceful retreat from busy city life. Lovely,... more
