We recently returned home from a 1 week stay at the Orchid and have nothing but good things to say about this wonderful oasis in the bustling hutong that is Baochao. Besides the comfortable and quiet accomodation away from the street, top marks have to go to the always attentive and friendly multilingual staff. They were willing to take the... More

I stayed in The Orchid from 27 April until 3rd of May and had a wonderful time there. The very friendly staff went out of their way to make me feel comfortable (this included offering me ginger tea because I was suffering from a cold).There was always someone there to answer my questions. I could even get in touch using... More

We booked this hotel for our last night on a two week trip through China. Is was the most expencive one so we had high expectations. 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

I agree with all the recent reviews. Staying here was like staying with friends. A glass of wine in the early evening to unwind, amazing breakfasts and really helpful staff. The location, at the end of a narrow alley hides a spacious sitting area and two cats who seem to laze all day. sit on the roof for the sunset... More

I can't recommend the Beijing Orchid more highly. It's a great little boutique hotel, right in the center of Beijing. A little hard to find, but if you contact the hotel beforehand they will send a driver to pick you up at the airport. The staff is incredibly helpful -- they booked us tours and recommended sights and restaurants. The... More

This little gem is just that, a gem. The staff are very accommodating and speak multiple languages. The rooms were very comfortable and roomy. They have television with a wide variety of movies which was helpful while I was sick for a couple days so I caught up on Chinese history. Staff even went to the pharmacy for me, looked... More

We chose to stay at The Orchid because of the great reviews that we had read on TripAdvisor and i'm glad to say they can add another satisfied customer to the list. Some reviewers had said that the property was difficult to find and our flight arrived at midnight so we chose to take the hotel up on their airport... More

This is a small Hutong hotel, more of a guesthouse. We stayed in the yang room with out own roof terrace. The room was lovely, with fruit everyday. The room was very comfortable. The hotel staff are very friendly, and there is a wine bar (with reasonably priced wine for china!)in the foyer. It's a very friendly and chatty hotel.... More
