Shichahai Shadow Art Performance

All the staff were really Great. This was our second stay and we love the experience once again. Tom and Look were particularly helpful along with all the other staff Tom helped advised me on the best way to travel to universal studios Beijing resort, it was so easy. Lio ensured that my breakfast orders and any other requests were clearly understood and executed with perfection.All of the staff were great, did remember all the names.Walking distance to the HouHai area, Great scenery and views there

We picked this hotel due to the Shadow Puppet performances and were very pleased. The shadow puppet performance was amazing! Everyone was very nice, especially Tom who helped us with our luggage. It was very nice that they had team and coffee available in the lobby. It was also a great location that allowed you to experience being in the hutongs but was also close enough to main roads for Didi access. The one small downside was that the beds were definitely firm side. We spent most of our time outside of the hotel anyway but it did make sleeping a bit less comfortable.

The hotel itself is beautiful, very clean and friendly staff. The location is excellent, located in a traditional and beautiful hutong close to the forbidden city. The room was spacious for a couple and had everything for a pleasant stay. Tom and Misa were very helpful during my stay, both of them are friendly and recommended a lot of activities to do and see in Beijing. For the first day we received a courtesy breakfast, I really recommend the breakfast at this hotel, it's delicious. For my next visit to Beijing I'll not hesitate to book this hotel again, I really recommend this hotel.

I cannot stay enough great things about this hotel. The staff are super helpful, from helping book trips, taxi, showing you how to navigate the subway and recommending local gems.This hotel is located a short walk from HouHai (the lake is at the end of the small houton street where the hotel is based). Restaurants, bars and food stands about 15min walk away. Don't miss Nanmen Hotpot near the small Bridge at the busy area of the lake.The puppet show and puppet paint was great, facilitated by a true puppet master (the youngest in china).Rooms are small, need a bit more packing space. Realised late that you need to request you rooms be cleaned

My friend and I stayed for 10 days here and it was great! The rooms are a good size and the bathroom is lovely and posh feeling. Water bottles are provided everyday in the room, and there is free tea and coffee in the foyer. I saw a previous review complaining about lack of teabags, toothbrush and other items in the rooms - but if you read the sheet they give you upon arrival, due to Chinese regulations they can't put them in your room but if you ask at the front desk they'll provide these things for you! Laundry service is £3 (30 yuan) Breakfast is £4 (40 yuan) Paid via Alipay/weixinpay at the bar when needed! The aircon is good and I slept well every night with no complaints. The hotel is situated in the Shichahai Hutongs, a small walk from the Shichihai lake which has a huge cultural area, restaurants and shops. Do not stay at this hotel if you expect to be in central Beijing city, as this hotel is in the cultural area in the Hutongs!! You can get a cheap taxi at the front desk of the hotel with 1 hour notice, or download the DiDi app and order one yourself (though it is a tight squeeze, they will pick you up from the Hutongs!). The shadow puppet show by Master Maomao and the workers was spectacular and truly worth seeing if you're going to Beijing for the cultural History. From a British perspective this is a great hotel and worth the money (relatively cheap compared to hotels in the UK). I was lucky that my friend speaks Chinese well, but using a translation app would work as well.

My stay was very good. Master Misa & Prince, working at the hotel are super friendly. There is delicious healing tea for free whenever you want, very comforting. The neighborhood is very cute, safe: recommend just walking around the ponds and getting food in the small local places X

Great location for somewhere that’s quiet but near to amazing local places to eat and drink. About a 15 min walk to the subway it’s easy to get to the major sites by public transport if you don’t want to use a DiDi. Staff are very helpful and friendly! Would stay again 👍

The interior of hotel was Chinese style, and close to some scenic sights, however it’s located in a very narrow Hutong (alley),cars are difficult to get through. The shower water was changing from hot to cold to hot constantly, kids need to be careful .
