The location is excellent — right in the middle of historic Duzheng Jie. For me, this was the perfect blend of local / touristy. The area is essentially one cobblestone street with some restaurants and shops, plus some hidden ones in the connecting alleys. It’s accessible to other key points of interest and two metro stations (both along Line 1) by foot which is also convenient.
Note: The location probably isn’t suitable for light sleepers however. There is a live house directly downstairs and the hotel is small, so it can be a bit noisy. On my final night, someone set off multiple rounds of firecrackers all through the night which led to smoke billowing up to my balcony. This is not the hotels fault, but just something to note for future guests. It might be an infrequent weekend occurrence due to the upcoming Spring Festival.
The room was fine for me. Large, comfortable bed. Spacious balcony. Many free movies available on the TV.
Note: The rooms are only cleaned upon prior request.
Except for the exact moment that I checked in, and probably only because there was a family checking in then too, I never saw any staff downstairs. They can be reached through the hotel’s WeChat, but don’t expect any warm good mornings, how is your stay, etc. when exiting or returning each day.
