The Orchid Hotel, Beijing

Majoituimme puolisoni kanssa ”yksityisasunnossa” n. 500m hotellista. Keskellä Pekingin arkea ja ihmisiä. Mahtava aamiaiset hotellin ravintola Toastissa. Riittävästi yksityisyyttä, kaikki hotellin palvelut käytössä. Karttasovelluksella ja kääntäjällä varustettu puhelin hotellin puolesta helpottivat liikkumista kaupungilla.

Loved the warm welcome. Lily was wonderful and very helpful. The breakfast was delicious

The only thing that could be mentioned is the memory foam bed was a little more worn on one side of the bed so was a little uncomfortable

Great location, super local vibe, walking accessible to everything.

During our 6 days in Beijing the Orchid felt like a home away from home. The staff were super friendly and proactively offered to help us with restaurant bookings, travel arrangements etc (something we found really useful as non Chinese speakers). The Gulou area is buzzing with small bars and restaurants mixed in with local housing- we really felt like we got to see real Beijing life, especially in comparison to the huge, traffic and large hotel- lined avenues we saw in other areas. Decor is trendy and stylish whilst fitting in with old-world Beijing. Breakfast outstanding.

Very little was not exceptional- courtyard rooms a little exposed maybe

The Orchid is such a great place to stay. It was more expensive than i would usually go for but it was totally worth it. The front desk team were such an asset to the place and to us. It was really like coming home each day. We had so many questions and the team were always pleased to help, give advice, make bookings etc etc. It was really a fantastic experience. We stayed with a small child for 2 weeks and everyone made us and our daughter feel so welcome. The breakfast is known as "the best in Beijing" - it was good - but the team and general service was better. The location is great - quiet or busy places all very close by. I can't recommend it highly enough.

We booked the Yang room with the roof terrace. The terrace felt a little neglected and just needed a bit of tlc. The blinds to the door didn't work very well so just getting to the terrace was a bit frustrating. With a little love it would be a huge asset to that room.
