From the outside it’s hard to tell what to expect but once I entered through those red doors, I felt right at home. The communal area is beautifully designed and styled, many plants, lounge music, it feels like a cozy living room. It’s very inviting to hang around, they serve food and drinks, however I noticed several guests relaxing/working with food from outside. Most of the staff didn’t speak English, yet did their best with translation app. I do want to mention there was one very friendly English speaking local girl who welcomed me every morning and made the best Matcha Latte’s. They have 3 types of breakfast options and they ask the night before to choose so it will be ready at the desired time in the morning. The room was compact, nicely styled and perfect for me as a single traveler. With two people it might get a bit cramped as there is no closet or much space around the bed to open a suitcase. I was happily surprised with the Japanese toilet and all its functions. The shower water pressure and temperature spot on, many amenities available and comfy bed/linen. Also the curtains are controlled with a remote. The wifi was a bit slower than my own esim/vpn. The small courtyard and terrace was very but no time to use it. There was no noise which was great! The location is great, only a 5 minute walk to metro stop and 15 minutes to the large Hutong area.

As mentioned already, wifi a bit slow, the size of the room might be challenging for two guests. The toilet and shower don’t have a wall up to the ceiling for those concerned about ‘noises’. On my 4th and last night, the automatic nightlight in the toilet kept going on by itself constantly. The room could use some renovation, extra attention to the small details, such as the tiles, spots that are harder to clean. For me these were no big issues and I would stay here again :)

This is a charming little hotel in an off the beaten path neighborhood. The lobby/breakfast area was beautiful. The free breakfast was nice. There is an old school China vibe with modern amenities, and it is clean and quiet.

Our room was loft style, with the bed upstairs and the bathroom on the main floor. Charming, but not convenient in the middle of the night. The rooms aren’t especially private, as they all face a small courtyard and have frosted glass windows to let in the light. The reception staff are very young and don’t have a lot of experience, so simple questions like how long does it take to get to the airport take a long time to answer. Their English is not great, so you need to spend a lot of time with your translator app. The directions they sent to find the place were not correct on Google Maps, so we spent half an hour dragging our bags around the neighborhood before we found it by process of elimination.

Hidden gem in the middle of a Hutong. Design of the common area is very cozy. Rooms offer privacy and are cozy. Staff is helpful and actually quite friendly. 3 Minutes by walk to Metro Station/possible Taxi pickup point. Good coffee! :)

Glass door from the room to the toilet (but seems like that’s kind of standard in China). Difficult to find as the booking address is a bit misleading. Showing the address to a taxi driver he directly found it.

cute courtyard , great location in hutong areas, lovely rooftop we love the place and we extended our stay

the chinese speaking staff seems cold and not friendly, and the only english speaking staff is friendly and help-full, they don’t clean room properly

A nice quiet comfortable place to stay in a good location

The bed was on a mezzanine and downstairs there was a sitting area - this was cold despite turning the heating up and had insufficient light to read by - we were there in the late December but imagine that it being cool in summer might be good.

Great location, real local feel. Very helpful staff.

Couldn't get WiFi to work woth VPN, had to use mobile data hotspot to access gmail etc. No wardrobe in my room to store/hang clothes, just two tiny bedside tables.

awesome place, amazing staff that does the outmost to translate/communicate. really good breakfast, great location in a super local quiet/local neighborhood highly recommended

A small boutique hotel, some old Chinese style mixed with a contemporary design feel. Nice small loft style room. Convenient bathroom. The place is discreet, low key but definitely has charm.

It is very authentic and cute. The staff is really nice!

The charm, the staff
