Originally planned to stay 5 nights...extended to 10. You know you have found a great place when locals ask "how did you find this place?" Love the staff. Lily and Yao Yao in restaurant are fabulous. Ask Lily for one of her "green drinks." They have Dux beds!!! A hotel first for me. Loved walking to and from the hotel... More

This oasis lived up to its website---a wonderful blend of 'East meets West'. Friendly, charming staff, tasteful and clean rooms, and welcoming atmosphere that is a much-needed respite in a very busy city. The staff was great--very well informed with and lots of patience for my many questions--and made me feel right at ease. Great balance in terms of decor... More

This hotel was right next to the downtown area. Hard to find if you are not from there but anyone can help you get there. From the moment we got there we were welcomed, shown to our room and made sure we had everything we needed. English was very good and was able to help us with places we wanted... More

All I needed for a four day stay in central Beijing. Minutes from everywhere including tourist attractions. Room are modest and simply but elegantly decorated. A lot of personalised 'western' touches distinguish this property from most local hotels, staff seemed better trained, friendlier. Food was a good mix of local and western. Stay away from the chains and experience China... More

We had heard good things about this hotel through Trip Advisor but were concerned anyway because we have also heard stories about the dreary accommodations and service in Beijing. What a pleasure to find that it was possible to find a really great place with attentive service and a "touch of class" in such a good location. The "Western"-style service... More

Location is excellent and easy walk from subway. Decor is great and a refreshing change from the ubiquitous dirty modern look of Beijing. Room was absolute beautiful with dark, hardwood floors, antique carpets and furniture and large windows. Service is to be expected by a Chinese hotel, meaning no frills, nothing fancy and no extra effort. Staff was very pleasant,... More

We have stayed at several hotels in China, and I can tell you the star rating system is a very loose one, and certainly not comparable to the US ratings. HOWEVER, this little gem of a hotel was beyond in terms of friendlieness of staff, quality of rooms, the plush towels, great food, and the feeling of actually being in... More

My girlfriend and I stayed here 2 weeks ago and had a excellent time in Beijing partly because of the location of this hotel and the great service we received. Its ideally located centrally with good access to most areas via the nearby subway station. The staff were very helpful with advising us on our holiday and made us feel... More

I choose to stay at this hotel as it was recommended by some friends of mine living in Beijing. I liked the idea about staying in a traditional area of the city. After seeing the reviews about this hotel I was pretty excited to see something different than the usual chain hotels...and I must say: I loved every single aspect... More
