Peking hotellit lähellä Houhai Lake

Plussat: We LOVED being in the middle of the Hutong, and the front desk staff were super helpful with restaurants, taxis, and packed us breakfast-to-go for an early morning tour. The vibe is laid back. Both restaurants yum.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: The location was awesome!

Miinukset: Heater turned on before we arrived, it was a very col night!

Plussat: 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.

Plussat: The staff really makes this place exceptional- they go out of there way to be friendly, helpful and kind. Nothing is too much to ask. They are happy to make reservations, helps with taxis, recommend restaurants, book tickets etc.

Miinukset: I really liked everything about this place. In fact, I stayed here before because I like it so much.

Plussat: Loved our stay! Breakfast each morning was delicious. Staff was very friendly and helpful. We took the dumpling class and thoroughly enjoyed the class, the food and wine, our instructor Kate, and the others who joined us. We also organized a tour to the Great Wall through the Orchid and that, too, went very well. Overall, an excellent stay. I would highly recommend.

Plussat: Best way to feel Hutong in Beijing with still comfortable staying

Miinukset: Since Hutong has some limitations of water supply, property has shortage of hot water sometimes

Plussat: The staff was personable and made us feel very welcome. We felt comfortable reaching out to them with questions and support.

Plussat: Bespoke recommendations (and the most helpful map), amazing breakfast included, newly opened Dim Sum restaurant by the hotel, perfect local feeling location but with access to everything.

Plussat: I always stay here when in Beijing - the location is perfect and the hotel facilities outstanding for the reasonable price. Very helpful staff. Superb breakfast.

Miinukset: On arrival, the room smelled of cigarette smoke, not fresh but of the deeply-ingrained type suggesting a need to replace carpets and curtains.

Plussat: Excellent breakfast reasonably priced

Miinukset: Reception staff had poor English skills

Miinukset: Air conditioning was either broken or faulty.Had staff being a portable A/C unit up to room. For a international hotel some staff had little English, to understand but worked around it. But all round a nice Hotel. Thank you

Plussat: Very clean and well staffed and very safe.

Miinukset: No pool or Spa.

Plussat: Perfect location, very close to the sights, restaurants, shops and subway station.

Miinukset: The room is nice for the first sight but most of the things do not work: cannot close bathroom door, the light switch did not work in the bathroom, the wardrobe door could not be closed, the bed sheet had holes and paint stains. The staff does not speak any languages other than Chinese, the front desk staff was simply rude at the check in. The breakfast is overpriced and simply a joke. Only Chinese food and if you do not like Chinese breakfast, you can have toast bread with butter every single day. The breakfast restaurant's floor was probably never cleaned, could use some vacuum cleaning. Our credit card was overcharged and we are yet to receive the deposit back. We did know that the hotel does not have a pool but then where is the 5-star rating coming from? It is not a 5-star hotel.

Plussat: Good feel overall, spacious and nice rooms

Miinukset: The location is ok, but not great - about 10 minutes walk to the metro station. You can walk to historical center, but it's probably about 45-60 min walk. Staff speaks a pretty basic English, enough to book a taxi, but not so for the conversation or a more detailed inquiries. Had to use the translation app.

Plussat: Location was walking distance to the metro, as well as some popular hutongs, restaurants and bars.

Miinukset: Housekeeping needs to improve. The bed would be made with pillows still left under the sheets. The shower floor was completely yellow with stains. Our room felt like it needed a proper deep clean and vacuum! It wasn't terrible and we had a relatively comfortable stay, but there's certainly lots of room for improvement. For an international chain hotel, the concierge should also be staffed with someone who is able to speak some basic English to help foreign tourist.

Plussat: Great staff, great location, great rooms. Loved the breakfast, very Beijing-flavoured

Plussat: the room was nice and up to the standard of a 5 star hotel

Miinukset: however, under the desk was a half eaten snack so the cleaning was not done thouroughy. overall: ok

Plussat: I like how the property is centrally located. Rooms are big and bed very comfortable. I think most staffs has a hard time speaking english. But there is one guy in the front desk who can speak english clearly and he was very nice. There are lots of places to eat around the area.. Breakfast buffet has a lot of choices too but mostly chinese food. But overall we had a great stay.

Plussat: Fantastic stay with the most friendly staff. Quite basic but amazing value for money! The location is incredible - right in the heart of the hutongs with lots of bars & restaurants in walking distance!

Plussat: It’s perfectly located, a 15 min walk from a subway station, and in the middle of the Hutong. Great restaurants and bars close by, and you can walk most places.

Miinukset: It’s very noisy. The rooms are located on the courtyard, and the walls don’t block any of the sound. It’s also not that clean, we saw several small cockroaches during our stay.

Plussat: I liked the location most. And the price.

Miinukset: It was not a fancy place. The bed was very uncomfortable.

Plussat: The location is in the middle of Hutong district which was very comfortable for me. The room was nice and the whole hotel has great areas for your rest. The staff is great, they even give me a little present at the end. Highly recommend this hotel!

Plussat: It is a quiet hotel, family style, very good cleaning, air conditioned and comfortable.

Miinukset: All staff should speak English. however all are very helpful

Plussat: The hotel is hidden in a small back street (hutong) very close to the houhai lake. The hotel is modern, small and well designed, nicely decorated. I was lucky to get one of the big rooms which opens on the theatre in the inner court. Hot water arrived immediately for the shower. Bathrobes are provided, a nice solid soap, hair dryer. Breakfast was very good. The bed was very comfortable, the room was cozy and pleasant. Not all rooms are that big however and only a few have a nice view on the inner court. The shadow art performance was fine but a bit too short! Very interesting though, it could have lasted twice as long!!

Miinukset: They lack big mugs for tea, only coffee cups. The tea bags are low quality, in the country which invented tea, it is a pity. They change towels and even hardly used shampoo bottles every day which is a terrible waste. They should wait for the bottles to be emptied and the towels should be changed only upon request (who changes towels at home every day ? It is incredible that people should like to have them changed because they are in a hotel!)

Plussat: Rauhallinen paikka.

Miinukset: Huoneen oven lukko ei toiminut varmasti..

Plussat: Breakfast was great, a mix of Western and Chinese. Complimentary shadow art performance on certain evenings.

Miinukset: Location was a bit hard to find

Plussat: Lovely example of a classic courtyard hotel. The staff were extremely courteous and helpful. The rooms are nice with comfortable beds. As a bonus the free shadow puppet show is interesting. The area that the hotel is in may seem a little daunting to those who have not spent much time in traditional Beijing before but it feels extremely safe and is fine once you get used to it.

Miinukset: Very little to complain about, the shower door didn't fit quite right so the bathroom floor got a bit wet.

Plussat: The room is clean and the bed is comfy. The breakfast is really nice with some continental and Chinese staff. It’s not very rich but you can find everything you need. The property is really close to the main attractions and to the metro station. The staff is amazing and helpful.

Miinukset: The property’s street looks dark but the aerea is really quiet.

Plussat: Breakfast with good coffee, bacon and eggs, and toast and yoghurt suited me. Not much choice if one was wanting Chinese breakfast. Staff kindly advised when breakfast service was finishing and they did restock items as they ran out. The hutong area has a nice vibe, but navigating the journey from the subway was not straightforward. It is only 10 mins walk from the subway so we didn't need a taxi, so that is not really a problem unless you have a lot of luggage. If you have GPS you will be fine. The reception is always attended so no worry about not being able to get in upon arrival, as with some B&B establishments. The shadow puppets were enjoyable, and memorable. Credit to the staff for being multi talented.

Miinukset: The hotel needs some capital expenditure on it. The beds in our first room were absolutely worn out - springs protruding - so that was two nights bad sleep. The second room's window would not close and staff said that they knew it was off the hinges at the top. This caused a cold draught on my head during the three November nights we were in this room. The downstairs carpet was originally of high quality but needs to be removed as it is now food and drink stained, as it is unsuitable for where people come in off the streets and where people dine. There are no chairs in the rooms, and no fridges. The staff kindly let me store our water in their fridge. The bathroom lighting is so poor one cannot put makeup on. There are no power points beside the bed. In the first room there was a bedside lamp but no working power point to make it go. One couldn't use the TV powerpoint because the TV was wired in. We had to make do with just one power point in the bedroom and one in the bathroom, which is inadequate in these times of mobile phones etc. The hotel owner is lucky to have such obliging reception staff and manager, as their attitude went a long way to making our stay pleasant even though the facilities were poor. The bedmaking was merely superficial, in that the duvet was straightened out but the under sheet and mattress protector were not. One had to make one's own bed in effect. The housekeeping staff were pleasant. China's hotel star rating system is a mystery. If this establishment was rated two star it would be good. But it is rated four star so disappointment is a given. There is no lift for instance. Maybe the high rating is becasuse they offer all meals and plenty of reception service hours??

Plussat: The area is very residential and you see how Beijing people go about their daily lives. It is close to good eating areas and some beautiful parks and waterways.

Plussat: Comfortable, Western-style beds, clean and functioning Western-style bathrooms (where the entire bathroom does NOT convert into a shower), and close proximity to central Beijing, subways, and general walkability were our priorities. This hotel hit them all, and also managed to be a great value compared to hotels. I'd say the amenities were on par with maybe the top 1/4 tier of Western chain hotels, but the price was that of a middle tier Chinese hotel. The friendly and helpful staff (many of whom speak English) and cultural aspect was a bonus as well.

Miinukset: The rooms are on the smaller side; they definitely fall under the "boutique" category, but the bed and bathrooms were all very large and comfortable, so we didn't mind the lack of "common" space. You're not able to control the air conditioning, but we found the temperature comfortable. Bear in mind that, as an energy saving measure, you need a hotel key card to turn the power on in the room, so you can't, for instance, leave something charging all day while you're out.

Plussat: Hyvää aamiainen, tosi hyvä sijainti

Plussat: good location 10 minute walk to subway.

Miinukset: old need to renewal.

Plussat: It was a big hotel and it had everything we needed.

Miinukset: I didn’t like how far it was, we were assuming it would be across the street from the forbidden city but it was farther than expected and not at the postmarked location.

Plussat: Nothing really

Miinukset: Bad Location, noisy; staff not helpful, can't solve problem when there's one. No water due to the pipeline maintenance

Plussat: Good tour desk girls were very helpful

Miinukset: Breakfast not included

Miinukset: It was too dark in the room might need more lighting.

Plussat: Hotellilta oli helppo varata retkiä ja lippuja.

Miinukset: Aamupalaan olisi toivonut enemmän hedelmiä.

Plussat: Relaxed, comfortable & effecient. Friendly & helpful staff in all areas who did an excellent job and took pride in their hotel

Miinukset: Everything was great. No complaints whatsoever.

Plussat: location

Miinukset: she is in recognition very impolite

Plussat: Honestly, there was nothing I liked about this hotel. I was expecting a four star hotel but what I got was a one or two star hotel instead. The area in the lobby next to the elevator had such a rancid smell that I shuddered every time I had to take the e.

Miinukset: I didn't like this hotel one bit. It is clearly not a four star hotel!

Plussat: Kylpytakki tohvelit teenkeittovälineet

Miinukset: Henkilökunta ei ymmärtänyt englantia ja palvelu ei siksi toiminut niinkun pitäisi. Hotelli ei vastaa 5 tähteä

Plussat: Hyvällä paikalla. Kohtuullisen matkan päässä metroasemasta ja kävelykadulta.

Miinukset: Hinta-laatusuhde ei ehkä ollut aivan tasapainossa.

Plussat: Hyvä sijainti Retkipalvelut Tilava huone ja kylpyhuone Asiakaspalvelu respassa

Miinukset: Siivouksen taso oli huono. Alaaulanpalvelu oli huonoa ja laskun loppusumma epäselvä.
