We stayed here for three days in April and found it to be a peaceful and comfortable haven with friendly and helpful staff.; a refreshing change from the usual large, characterless 'chain' hotels. We had an 'executive' room which was large and airy with four- poster bed; some of the standard roms did look a little 'compact' if staying for... more

We stayed in this hotel for several nights, and loved the charming architecture. The hotel courtyards, layout, and furniture were intricate and old-worldly, a totally unique travel experience. We used the hotel's free Internet daily. Our room was small and sparse, but nonetheless inviting after a long day out. The bathroom wasn't the freshest, but it was adequate and probably... more

Stayed some weeks in this wonderful and peaceful place. Everytime I came back it was a coming home. Very friendly and helpful stuff, they beautyful courtyard, my nice, clean and comfortable room. When hungry I could order good dishes from the small kitchen, delivered to my room with a warm and friendly smile. In this place you will not find... more

Chose to stay in the Beijing Sihe Hotel mainly due to other reviews on tripadvisor, but also down to the pictures showing a beautifully maintained Hutong. The actual Hotel didn't disappoint (when our cab from the airport eventually found it even with the printed out directions) you get a real sense of being in China and the room was lovely.... more

Stayed here for three nights in March and had a fine stay. We got upgraded for free to the VIP room which was huge. The hotel is not going to win any luxury awards but it is authentic and having been to Beijing before and stayed at Raffles you do actually feel as if you're in China. The staff spoke... more

We thoroughly enjoyed our five night stay at the Sihe Hotel. We stayed with our young daughter prior to commencing the trans-siberian railway to St Petersburg. During our stay we frequently walked through the old hutong area where the hotel is located, both in the day and at night, and never encountered any hint of trouble. There are plenty of... more

This is a small, well-run hotel with a lot of atmosphere. It is in one of the dwindling number of central Beijing neighbourhoods that has not been modernized giving a different perspective on the city. more

We wanted to try life in the hutong and after reading reviews on tripadvisor, we booked ourselves a night in this hotel as our last stop in China. Room is clean, location was great within walking distance to tourist attraction. We checked out after a night stay and departed for the airport. We realised that we had left behind our... more
