Purple courtyard - Pekin

Great 4 days in Beijing... Convenient for sightseeing and excellent facilities nearby... Hotel staff organised brilliant trip to the wall at Mutianyu and, don't worry, I'm not particularly fit but managed it fine, so probably better to go there than Badaling... Used the metro to explore - cheap and easy to use - which takes you everywhere, inc Summer […] Palace, Zoo and Temple of Heaven... Devamı

Great location, good price and v atmospheric. Staff are very friendly and arranged fab trip to the wall at Mutianyu.

The hotel staff made us dumplings for free to celebrate the new year.

This hotel is a three-minute walk away from the chic Nanluogu Hutong which is bustling with bars, restaurants and shops. It is in the middle of the hutong riddled center of Beijing which is ramshackle but teeming with life. The hotel is a family business: some members speak more English than others, but the younger generation speaks it well, and the […] older generation is willing to cheerfully play charades. The family is very friendly, and invited me to a dumpling dinner (from looking at other reviews I think this is a fairly frequent event) which I ate with a few of the other Western guests. It was delicious! My dinner companions recommended a microbrewery around the corner from the hotel (Great Leap Brewery) that we visited the following evening, and was fantastic. The room was clean and comfortable. It was also nicely decorated. Beijing was hot when I visited, but the air conditioning in my room worked perfectly. My bathroom had a handheld showerhead with no stall (I believe this is fairly common in China) so beware that the entire bathroom floor and toliet will get wet during a shower (the water did drain quickly at least). I asked for a small towel to wipe my feet, and got by just fine. I think some of the other bathrooms in the place at least had a shower curtain (but probably no separate shower floor). Also, the TV had no English language channels. Be aware that it will be difficult to get a taxi driver to drive you straight to the hotel unless you speak Mandarin. The hutongs are narrow, and while cars can fit, it's slow going with all the foot and bicycle traffic. Have the driver drop you off at the intersection of the northern main street Gulou Dongdajie and the Nanluogu Alley. Walk south down Nanluogu alley (5-10 minutes) and turn left and travel west down Shajing Hutong. Walk another 3 minutes and you'll get to a T intersection with a big purple banner, the entrance to the hotel courtyard will be the door on your left. You can also initially approach the Devamı

Es handelt sich eher um ein Hostel als um ein Hotel. Der Charakter ist familaer chinesisch. Man fuehlt sich sicher und gut betraeut. Die Zimmer im ersten Stock haben nur Gemeinschafts Dusche. Das steht auf der Website von hotel.com anders.
