My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were excellent, but there was a terrible issue with rising damp on the walls which the staff seemed to ignore. The lighting in the room was inadequate, casting unflattering shadows due to dim spotlights above the mirror. The traditional decor of the location was charming and it was conveniently situated near a bustling street of shops and food establishments.

The hotel has some drawbacks like rooms with a natural charm, poor soundproofing, and a smokey smell when the AC is off, but it's still a decent place to stay. The service is friendly and helpful, although language skills could be better. The location offers easy access to prominent attractions and public transportation, with plenty of dining options nearby. The dining experience may have its challenges but offers a good selection. Overall, the facilities are satisfactory.

My stay at the hotel was overall good, mainly due to its excellent location and reasonable rates. The rooms, though modest, had a nice Chinese decor, but the bed was uncomfortably hard. The lighting in the room was a bit dim but created a unique ambiance. The service was friendly, although not very informative, and the staff did help me change rooms promptly. The location in the hutong area was vibrant and popular with locals for food options. The dining experience offered a fantastic range of Chinese breakfast dishes, but the overall quality was mixed. The facilities were adequate, but some improvements could enhance the guest experience.

My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The rooms were not soundproof at all, and I had to switch to a different room decorated in Chinese style, although it was damp and infested with mosquitoes due to broken window screens. The general maintenance seemed poorly finished. The service was helpful overall, and the staff, including the manager, tried to accommodate our needs, though they struggled with providing local information. The location was excellent, right beside a famous alley full of shops and restaurants, but a bit tricky to find at first. Unfortunately, the dining finishes early, and I missed out on breakfast one day.

The hotel is situated in a lovely Chinese Hutong, close to major attractions like Drum Tower and Lama Temple, making it excellent for exploring the Hutong. The rooms, though beautiful and comfortable, were quite small and some were very dusty. The service was generally friendly and accommodating, though staff sometimes struggled with English late at night. Dining options were limited but reasonably priced.

I found the hotel to be a unique experience. The rooms, though not as spacious as I expected, were still cozy and lacked windows, a bit different from what I saw on the website. The service, especially when I needed a spoon for my toddler, was exceptional and done in a beautiful old Chinese style. The location, though a bit challenging for taxis, provided a fascinating view of Pekin in the heart of the hutong, with plenty of nearby dining options. The dining experience may not have been the best, but on the upside, the facility had easy communication and big rooms.
