A boutique hotel carries authentic Beijing traditional courtyard style, sits in the heart of old Beijing. Our room came with a private patio. Very friendly staff. Give the breakfast a miss though, if you aren't used to the Chinese Congee and meat buns. There are tons of eateries near by. The Ming dynasty drum tower and Houhai bar district are... More

We had such a great stay at the square hotel. The location is perfect! It's in the hutongs which is a trendy neighborhood in Beijing. It's walking distance to plenty of restaurants, including our favorite Mr. Shi's Dumplings. The hotel itself is open air in the lobby, but each room has AC. Our room was on the small side, but...

This hotel is conveniently located close to the center of the OLD BEIJING, yet it is insulated from its boisterousness. The instant I stepped into the entrance, I was infused with a sense of serenity. After staying for a short while, I started to realize where that sense comes from - the harmoniousness of the setting. It was refurbished from... More

Please note that the location of the hotel on the tripadvisor map is incorrect. The hotel location is about halfway down the marked street. The hotel itself is really nice. It's down a small alley so it's quite tranquil compared to the noise on the main street. The rooms are nice, modern and very clean. The common bathroom and showers... More

The hotel is nicely located in a hutong that is still full of real chinese life (not very touristic, genuine). Once you have entered the hotel, its a nice and quiet place to stay, with breakfast, friendly helpful staff that speaks english and helps you to plan your trips. My room even had a small patio/ minigarden on the back.... More
