I recommend this hotel fully, I think it is one of the best hotels I have ever been in. The location is super, in a small hutong where you can experience hutong life which is the best about Beijing, and very close to the beautiful lake district full of life and bars and restaurants. The double room we had was top notch with a really big bed, bathtub and beautiful decorations, every thing felt clean and new, with a window in to the lobby so we were able to watch the shadow art performance directly from our room. The service was very friendly and helping despite a few language problems, everybody did their best to make our stay good, the house keeping was spotless, the breakfast buffet was also very good. I am sure that this is one of the best hotel experiences you can get in Beijing.
