It is hidden within a very busy hutong and can be a bit tricky to find. But that's ok! Once you step thru the door, you can feel the tranquillity! The courtyard and lobby make you feel like you're home. We were warmly greeted and our rooms were mere steps away. Large room with a King size Soft bed. Almost... More

Beautiful experience , clean rooms , fruit laden welcome basket What a breathe of fresh air we found in this hotel No strange smells Staff are superb 5 stars all the way to the owner for the touches added here only regret - NO English channel on TV this would have made it Heavenly but still charmed :)

It was our first stop in China. It will always be a memorable visit. We stayed in a premium garden room – king bed very comfy, spacious room with a real closet (not one of those slither of a closet near the front door), bathrobes and slippers, clean. The bathroom is narrow but a spacious shower, quality amenities. Our room... More

We stayed here 5 nights, it's probably one of the best places we have stayed. All staff members were friendly and helpful, always making sure you have the proper directions/information for your days activities. The rooms were nice, and the breakfasts even better.

I could even get in touch using... More

To start with there is no sign to indicate the hotel, not even on the spot. When we expressed our amazement about this, the owner said he had more problems to deal with.... Not... More

First up, be prepared to take some time to find this place. The taxi driver spent around 30 minutes negotiating the narrow hutong streets and asking all manner of locals until we discovered the narrow entrance. Once inside, you are transported into a haven of calm and any stresses quickly disappear. Lovely comfortable room with a great shower and Apple... More

This Hotel was a great surprise. The people who work there is amazing, they are always willing to help you with everything (tours, restaurants, medicines, etc). The area where the Hotel is located is a little noisy/dirty but extremely safe. The rooms are comfortable and modern. They give you fresh fruit, water and cellular phone (complementary). The breakfast is really... More
