“Best hotel in China!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 22, 2013

The Opposite House Hotel is one of the best hotels we have ever stayed in. The rooms were incredibly beautiful, light and spacious. We love the minimalism look and found the rooms to be just to our taste. The artwork in the lobby was inspiring. We can't thank the staff enough for their service. They were incredibly helpful, kind and courteous and assisted us with any train bookings and anything else we needed. The bathtubs in the room were amazing - just what you needed to rejuvenate after a day walking around Beijing in below zero temperatures. The pool was beautiful - we used it almost every day! The cafe downstairs provided excellent food. The location of the hotel is fantastic - 10 min walk to the metro and also surrounded by bars and great restaurants. Overall, a fabulous stay and would definitely stay here again.

“Weekend in the City”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 13, 2013

My Wife and I spent the weekend at the Opposite House in early December. The whole experience, from check in to room service to the super comfortable bed was perfect. The hotel is very modern, with cool lighting and super chic bathrooms. The hotel location is also perfect. Located right in the San Li Tun neighborhood, there is quick access to shopping, dining and many bars. We truly enjoyed our stay and would recommend the Opposite House to anyone looking for a fun and romantic weekend in the city.

“Very nice hotel and nice area”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed January 13, 2013

We stayed 5 nights in The Opposite House during our stay in Beijing in January 2013.
The hotel is new, stylish and within a very good area. In 5 minutes walking around you can eat (from expensive restaurants to more budgeted ones), drink and go shopping from high class shops to bargain into the fake market.

It is not located in the heart of the city, but it is well communicated to visit all the spots. Metro station is also 10 minutes walking, which is also a good option.

Only cons I saw is that the price for the transportation and tours are very expensive. We preferred to book tours alternatively on our own.

Room Tip: We had an upgrade to 70 sq meters room. However it was not only by paying with American Express, we...

“Second home in Beijing!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 30, 2012

Opposite House might be the best hotel I have stayed in Beijing!

Location: is simply great! Beijing is way too big, if you want to go to the Great Wall or Summer Palace, it's equally far from anywhere. But if you want to stay somewhere with a bit urban touch, Opposite House is the best choice. it's located inside of Sanlitun Village, with lots of options for restaurants and bars.

Facility: is fantastic! nicely designed hotel, every single items is carefully selected, the texture of furniture, material of the bedding and towels. Restaurants are offering very homely cooking, we stayed for two nights but didn't have chance to try out all three restaurants.

Service: is excellent! different from other hotel chains, Opposite House seems managed by a young energetic team, staff are very easy to talk to, very efficient, always eager to help.

Did I mention they offer complimentary mini bar? nicely stokced with imported water, food, organice coffee and more...
Complimentary WiFi is covered every corner...

Room Tip: it depends on what view you would like to have. We stayed at the Studio 70 room, which is facing...
