Blossom House·HouHai Beijing

Staying at Blossom House·Hou Hai Beijing in Yangfang Hutong was such a delightful experience. The location is unbeatable—just a short walk from Houhai Lake and the Drum Tower, making it perfect for exploring Beijing’s historic heart. The hotel’s interior design stands out with its creative use of irregular shapes, which might not be everyone’s taste, but I appreciated the unique character. What truly impressed me was the comfort of the bed—excellent mattress and high-quality linens made for a restful night’s sleep. Breakfast offered both set menus and à la carte options, so there was something for everyone, and nothing went to waste. The staff—Liu Linlin, Xiao Xi, and Xiao Zheng—were incredibly warm and attentive. They helped with luggage, offered free yogurt and fresh fruit, and always had a smile. It felt less like staying in a hotel and more like being welcomed into a home. This place has a special charm, and I’ll definitely return.

The PuXuan Hotel and Spa

Staying at The PuXuan Hotel and Spa in Beijing was a delightful experience overall. The room size was just right—not too cramped, not overly spacious—and being just steps from the metro made getting around the city incredibly convenient. The twin beds were slightly smaller than expected, but the mattress was so comfortable that I slept like a baby. Breakfast was a highlight, especially the eggs—perfectly cooked with a crispy exterior and soft center. However, the wonton soup could use more depth in flavor. Adding some rice noodles or vermicelli dishes, maybe even a spicy beef noodle option, would be a great addition to the menu. Despite minor room for improvement, the hospitality, location, and value for money made this stay truly memorable. I’d definitely come back here on my next trip to Beijing!

We’ve made it a family tradition to ring in the New Year at this hotel every year, and it’s become one of our most cherished rituals. On New Year’s Eve, we enjoy a warm bowl of soba noodles at the second-floor Japanese restaurant — the atmosphere is cozy and festive. The next morning, we sip traditional tosukuri sake and savor a delightful Japanese breakfast before heading out on bikes to Jingshan Park to welcome the first rays of sunlight. This year, I was truly impressed by the improved service — the dining area has been upgraded with a fresh, modern touch, making the whole experience even more enjoyable. It’s not just a hotel for us; it’s a place where we connect with culture and create lasting memories. We’re so grateful for the warmth and attention to detail.

Capital Hotel(the Forbidden City,Tiananmen)

Staying at Capital Hotel was an absolute highlight of my trip to Beijing. The location is unbeatable—just steps away from Tiananmen Square and the Forbidden City, making it incredibly convenient for exploring the city’s top attractions. The staff went above and beyond; I especially want to thank Mr. Zhu, the front desk manager in gray, who helped me resolve a major issue with such warmth and professionalism. Even during Beijing’s cold winter weather, the genuine hospitality made me feel truly welcome. The rooms were spotlessly clean, and the overall atmosphere was calm, comfortable, and elegant.

SSAW Garden Hotel Beijing

I chose this hotel for my trip to Beijing because of its convenient location just inside the Second Ring Road—super easy access to public transit and major attractions. I had booked through a platform, but ran into an issue at check-in: the online reservation couldn’t generate an invoice for reimbursement. That would’ve been stressful, but the front desk manager, Mr. Yuan, stepped in immediately with a warm, professional attitude. He helped me switch to on-site payment seamlessly—no hassle, no stress. His support made a huge difference and really stood out. The service throughout was exceptional—the staff were attentive, polite, and genuinely caring. The hotel’s atmosphere is luxurious yet peaceful, offering a quiet retreat right in the heart of the city. Yes, traffic can be heavy at night, but the surroundings are still serene and well-maintained. Cleanliness is average—not outstanding, but consistently tidy. What truly impressed me was the breakfast experience. It was creative, flavorful, and surprisingly unique. The dining space has a fun, artistic vibe, and since it was close to Christmas, the staff wore festive red hats and greeted guests with cheerful, loud voices—so much personality! My colleagues and I were thoroughly satisfied with our stay. If you're looking for a comfortable, stylish, and welcoming place in Beijing, this one’s definitely worth a visit.

Grand Hotel Beijing(the Forbidden City,Tiananmen)

Staying at this hotel was an absolute delight from start to finish. The location is unbeatable—just steps away from Tiananmen Square and the Forbidden City, with incredible views of the surrounding landmarks including Jingshan Park, the White Pagoda, and the Great Hall of the People. The first and third floors feature a stunning collection of art pieces and masterful paintings, almost like walking through a small museum. The replica of the Fountain of the Water Law on the third floor is particularly impressive in its detail and design. I booked access to the 10th-floor rooftop terrace, and it was absolutely worth it—the panoramic views are breathtaking, perfect for sunrise or sunset moments. The room itself was spotless, well-maintained, and had excellent soundproofing, making for a peaceful night’s sleep. Everything you’d need was provided—from premium toiletries to a fully stocked minibar with tea bags, fresh fruit juice, and even Perrier. What stood out most was how welcoming and attentive the staff were—they kept reminding us to help ourselves to drinks, saying they’d be restocked daily. That kind of thoughtful gesture really made the stay feel personal. Service was warm, proactive, and genuinely caring. Overall, this hotel offers an exceptional blend of luxury, convenience, and cultural charm. It’s not just a place to stay—it’s an experience. I’d highly recommend it to anyone visiting Beijing.

Waldorf Astoria Hutong Courtyard

The entire stay was absolutely exceptional. From the moment we arrived, our dedicated concierge Danika greeted us warmly at the front desk and personally assisted with check-in—feeling truly welcomed. When a minor issue arose, she resolved it promptly and thoughtfully, showing real attention to detail. The next day, when we needed to switch rooms, Helen stepped in with grace and efficiency—another seamless experience. What stood out most was Danika’s guided tour of the art corridor; her passion and knowledge brought each piece to life, giving the hotel a rich, artistic soul. And timing couldn’t have been better—we were there just as Beijing experienced its first snowfall. The courtyard, blanketed in white, looked like something out of a dream. The blend of traditional charm, world-class service, and that magical winter moment made this trip unforgettable. If you’re looking for a unique, luxurious escape in Beijing, this is it. Highly recommended!

Manxin Hotel in Shichahai Park, Nanluoguxiang, Beijing.

As a local Beijing resident, I took my kids on a weekend exploration of the traditional hutongs and wanted to experience authentic old Beijing culture. This hotel stood out for its great location, charm, and excellent value. From the moment we walked in, the warm welcome and complimentary tea at the front desk set a cozy tone. The room was incredibly comfortable with soft bedding and smart devices that made everything seamless. Free parking was a huge plus for us as we traveled by car. Staff were attentive and friendly without being overbearing. Breakfast was hearty, well-balanced, and satisfying—perfect for starting the day right. Located just 200 meters from Nanluoguxiang, it’s literally steps away from the heart of the historic district. You can’t help but feel immersed in the old Beijing vibe while strolling through the narrow alleys. I’m already planning to bring my parents here next time—I’d definitely stay again.
