“Home away from home”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 25, 2012

Lovely boutique hotel with central courtyard. Rooms clean and comfy with buffet breakfast served each day in the charming courtyard. Staff extremely helpful and courteous. Although not situated in the CBD, position gave an insight into the lives of the locals. Would highly recommend for those seeking a personalised exdperience

“Charming Hotel with Attentive Service”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 25, 2012

We just returned from a trip to Beijing. We spent 5 nights at Michael's House and were very happy with our decision. The hotel is in a very beautiful old courtyard house, with loads of charm. Very beautifully appointed, very clean, and very comfortable. The staff is just lovely and go out of their way to make you feel at home. We were traveling with our 17-month old son and they were so great with him. They have a baby cot available as well, which is a huge boon for those traveling with toddlers. The included continental breakfast is very generous and the coffee is strong and delicious. The location is also great, down an old hutong in a neighborhood that has lots of activity at night, including great street food. The lady at the end of the hutong who makes dumplings was a favorite. Subway line 2 is a short 10-minute walk away and Haidalao Hot Pot, one of the top rated restaurants on TripAdvisor for Beijing is just a 15-minute walk away.

There is some construction going on next door. The hotel has a sign up informing their guests and it seems as though they've made an effort to limit the working hours. I believe the sign said that work would begin at 0800 and go until 1800 but it was more like 0700 to 2100. This is obviously not something the hotel can control and to be honest it did not bother us at all. Just something to keep in mind if you are very sensitive to noise. It wasn't a problem for us, even with a small child. It never woke him up or gave him any trouble falling asleep.

Michael's House was a great find and we highly recommend it as a place to stay in Beijing!

“A home away from home!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 23, 2012

Felt like we were visiting family friends. I travelled with a Chinese colleague who visits China several times a year and generally stays in hotels. I found the guesthouse and suggested we try it. We were both impressed by the home like atmosphere and friendly staff! I have found a perfect place to stay during my business travels to China. Planning my next stay with the family also.

“Joanna, Sophie, and the girls, do everything they can to please.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 13, 2012

Staying at Michael's House is more like visiting a friend than staying at a hotel. Clean & cozy, the rooms are outfitted for western tastes. Although somewhat off the beaten path, Michael's is a 10 minute walk to the subway, where all of Beijingis in easy reach. Definitely not for the 5 star hotel traveler, but perfect for us.

“Incredibly friendly, cozy stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 9, 2012

We had an absolutely lovely time staying at Michael's House. Not only are the rooms clean and spacious but the staff are just so wonderful. When we left we were truly sad to say goodbye to them! They helped us to organize a private car for a trip to the Great Wall, and also were really flexible in getting us a different room when there was some construction noise outside. Really great people. Our trip would not have been as complete without a stay at Michael's House.
