During the May Day holiday, I brought my parents and child to Beijing. We wanted to experience the old Beijing hutong culture, so we chose this guesthouse located in a hutong. We stayed for four nights, and overall, it was a good experience. Here’s my honest review:
First, regarding the location, it's about an 800-meter walk from Gulou Dajie subway station, Exit G. The guesthouse is near Gulou and Shichahai, also about 800 meters on foot. Popular attractions like the Forbidden City and Tiananmen Square are only three to four kilometers away, making taxis very convenient.
Second, in terms of the guesthouse's environment and service, it was exactly my style – red walls and wooden chairs. Each room had a chair outside for relaxing, and there was a long bench in the middle of the courtyard where the kids loved to play. The owner was very nice, always smiling and polite.
Finally, the only downside was the washing machine's loud noise. We were out early and back late during our stay, and after a busy day, we'd do laundry late at night. The noise from the washing machine led to complaints from a neighboring guest, which was quite frustrating for us. With such a tight schedule, we couldn't wash clothes during the day and let them dry. I hope the owner can resolve this issue soon, so future guests won't face the same problem.
Wishing the owner a prosperous business!
