It was a comfortable oasis in the middle of a hectic section of Beijing. My room was cozy and the breakfast at the Middle Eastern restaurant on the property was excellent. The staff was very friendly and helpful and spoke English really well.

The place is lovely but with too many stairs and narrow paths ways, it’s a bit harder for older guests (70,80’s). The hotel staff are very friendly and helpful! Overall, we had a pleasant time!
