Dry nice family run small hotel. Right by Forbidden city. Old Beijing area. Hotel located in the quiet lane. Owners are very friendly and speak English. Gave great suggestions on the vegetarian restaurants around. The hotel is basically their home. We stayed upstairs - large room, old, very old shower but otherwise good budget hotel.

Charming slice of old Beijing near Tian Anmen

This is a very small, privately-owned suite of rooms off of one of the Beijing hutongs near the Forbidden City. Very friendly staff. Not easy to find. 10 min walk to Tian An Men Square. If you want to experience old Beijing, this is a good experience for you. A small number of rooms surround a nice open space with tables and chairs. You will have everything you need (wi-fi, TV, shower), but not a luxury hotel. No breakfast. It's a good way to support local businesses and to see the inside of Beijing in a way you won't if you go to a larger international hotel. I recommend it.

close to forbidden city but still over priced

Pictures on line are very out dated but bed was clean and shower was good. hotel was in very old part of town and taxi had hard time finding in dark. Had to venture down dark alley with bags would not recommend to female travelers alone but us as a couple it was ok but little over priced for condition and area.

Xiao was very nice and spoke perfect English. We didn't want a western type of hotel and that's what we got, a typical Chinese hotel inside the forbidden city! Not for everybody only for those with an open mind willing to try new experiences.

Enjoyed the hotel and my stay

Hotel was very old and nostalgic and I loved that; others may not like it as much. Area was great - central Beijing, right next to Tiananmen. Hotel staff was super helpful and friendly.

Travelers Beware! Do not stay here!

Easily the worst hotel I have ever stayed at in my life and throughout my months of being in China. They advertise breakfast and free wifi? They have neither of these things. coffee maker? none. Free toiletries in the "luxury honeymoon suite"? More like half used bottles of shampoo and pellets of soap. The towels were mismatched and ragged with other hotel's embroidered logos on them! I arrived to a hotel in disarray and was FILTHY. Does not look anything like the advertised pictures. My room had no windows in it (unless you count the giant hole in the bathroom ceiling that was open to the outdoors). There were used tissues on the desk and trash in the bins in the room. The bathroom was disgusting and the shower was covered in mold (did I mention NO shower drain?). Under no circumstances would i recommend this to any traveler, no matter how "rugged" or "basic" your travel hotel requirements are. It became very clear during my stay that this in fact a family home that simply has a few rooms for rent. I was the only guest during my stay (NOW i know why!). This hotel is located on a back alley (not where the above map suggests the location is) and is not in a tourist friendly place. I did not feel safe taking my shoes off in the hotel room due to the bathroom. The sink faucet was broken and required you to pry the handle to turn on the sink. I wish there was a way for me to upload pictures of what this hotel REALLY looks like now.

Does not fall below expectation

Considering the proximity of the hotel to Tian An Men and the Forbidden City, this hotel is OK if you don't mind the somewhat spartan room.

No for westerners

No for westerners. This would be OK for internal chinese tourists but no for us. Strong odor coming from the bath drainage, believe me you don't want to be there. The location was OK to visit Forbidden City but it was really overpriced for the quality of this hotel. I will never go back and don't recommend this "Hotel". If you have booked and read this, you must change the plan now, otherwise will be too late.

Mostly Happy

Excellent location. Woman host very helpful. Very authentic Hutong-based experience. Old decor through out thats pretty cool. Internet OK- But no Facebook, Google, Twitter etc.. Chinese government has them blocked!! %$#! A bit run down, bathroom in our room was very small and felt unsanitary. They need to hire a better and more detailed cleaning staff. If your looking for cheap place to crash and authentic local Beijing experience to get the full effect at a good rate- this is your place. If you need pretty and all modern conveniences- move on.

Horrible Experience

This hotel was not at all what I had expected; it was very different from what I saw in the pictures. For one, the entrance was in a dark, back alley and there was junk piled up in front of the hotel. My room was dirty (e.g. giant wad of hair in the bathroom, dirty plate and cups), and in need of maintenance (e.g. 12-in hole in the ceiling, 36-in by 12-in water damage spot on the ceiling, about six holes in the shower, 6-in by 3-in of plaster peeled off wall). Additionally, the room had no security and little privacy (i.e. glass wall covered by an ill-fitting curtain, unable to fully lock the door from inside) and the area just outside my room was being used for storage. I spent only 2-3 hours at the hotel, because Immediately upon arrival, I called hotels.com for a refund and to find me a new hotel. When I was leaving, the hotel informed me that they would not refund me for two nights, because that was their policy. Due to the shabby state of the hotel, however, I received a full refund from hotels.com. The location was excellent, but I do not recommend staying at this hotel.

Cheap but not clean

It is a nice hotel, too bad they are not doing the regular maintenance work. Drapery are falling down, tearing apart. The restroom is not very clean, but for the price we paid should be considered Okay. The location is super, very close to Tiananmen, one of the main attraction in Beijing. There is no breakfast, but you can get to try local eatery within the walking distance.

This hotel is way over priced!

You can stay at much nicer hotels that are 4 star and within the same location + breakfast included. The taxi driver could not even find the street. It is located in a one way alley. The walls and ceilings have hold mould on them. The pictures are deceiving. The courtyard is quaint, however, the rooms are not up to par for its price. The staff spoke English well enough to understand. I would rate this as a 2-3 star hostel.

Nice location

Very good location. I walked to Tiananmen Square and Jingshan park. Exceptional service. I like the people there and the small courtyard feel of living local rather than big hotel. Cons: come with your expectation that this is not cleanest up to US standard.

Awesome location near Tiananmen Square

A little difficult to find, but we'll worth the effort. The staff are super friendly & accommodating. Their English is good & their recommended taxi saved us a bundle on our return to the airport. The room was clean, the bed firm & washroom was ok. The location is within 10 mins walk of tinanmen square & forbidden city & the subway. It's about the same distance from a night food market that has venders selling all kinds of exotic street food (scorpion on a stick anyone?) & a great shopping area. Would recommend it to anyone looking for a hotel that's not cookie cutter bland, in a great location with friendly English speaking staff.

Great cultural experience

When my daughter wanted to stay here i was very hesitant but after my stay i would not stay any where else if i return to Bejing i loved the whole place so peaceful and very friendly,such a wonderful experience and very close to Tiananmen Square, good restaurants and many little local shops.Very cheap great bacon and eggs for breakfast.The staff were very helpful always smiling.I left my I Pad and a bag of Pandora charms in my room on my departure, on the way to the airport they rang our transport driver so they could let me know they then organised a taxi to take my items to the airport where our very kind transport driver waited with us to ensure i received the items how honest and helpful was that i could not thank both parties involved enough for their kindness and help provided to me.Free internet was also available. We stayed in a family room which was very tradional and opened into the courtyard had 1 double and one queen bed .

Not living up to most online reviews

We were very disappointed with the reality vs. the pictures and most of the reviews online. When booking at Hotels.com, we called to confirm a crib would be available. When we arrived, they told us it's not available because the one they had was broken long time ago - whose problem is this? We ended up rushing out to Wang Fu Jing and buying one. Room condition, esp. the bathroom, is very disapointing. Water will be all over the floor after a quick shower. We had multiple curtain hooks broken after one night. The towels are old and do not feel clean though we were told that they are changed every day. The best part is the location. So we tolerated the rest for four nights but decided not to go back ever again.
