We opted for the basic room which was very small but clean. The bathroom was a walk across the courtyard and pretty dismal - the toilet & shower all crammed into a small space. There was building work at the time so maybe better facilities will be provided? Good location & options for eating out locally or self catering with the new kitchen. Great to experience hutong life with no tourists while having the Metro only 5mins away links to all major sites.

older staff was extremely loud at night, arguing and shouting outside my room. younger attendant at the desk was fine. overall atmosphere was very cold and un-fun. the location cannot be accessed by car and is very tricky to find. IT COSTS MONEY TO SHOWER HERE.

We don't find older staff who you mention in our hostel. We are always care of that our behavior has not bothered our guest especially at night. I remember, there are some guest arguing and shouting something. At that time, we try our best to remind them not to disturb others. Everyone is guest, comfortable enviroment depend on everybody. It is a little cold in September. So it make someone feel a bit lonely. It is truely Beijing feeling in autumn. If you enjoy to stay at room, nobody will bother you. I think, if you want to feel more fun in your tour, you need pay passionate to others and are willing to communicate with others. Hi young girl, Pay more and Get more. Real traditional courtyard is always bulid in deep location. It is not easy to access by car in every beijing Hutong. if you want to get easy transport, I suggest you select to stay at hotel. Guests have been here knew that, IT COSTS FREE TO SHOWER FOR EVERY GUEST. Please tell me who asked you paiy for shower.

Great courtyard atmosphere. Provided a good experience for a first-timer staying at a hutong. The place was not too rowdy and was therefore a good place to take a rest at. Staff were helpful and friendly with directions. The area around the hostel was not over-run by tourists and one could still capture a glimpse of life of beijingers in the alleys, especially in the mornings when the breakfast shops and road-side stalls open and beijingers get about their daily activities.
