Reviewer Type: Couple

Travel Purpose: leisure

Positive: Loved the location in the old part of Beijing. This was a very different experience from being in a modern high rise hotel that one could experience in any large city. Walking through the narrow streets and alleyways was a walk back into history but also showed a way of life for the residents who live there today. The Orchid has upgraded it’s accommodations for guests while still retaining the feel of being in the hutong. The staff was personable, welcoming and very accommodating. Thank you to all! I loved my stay at The Orchid and hope to return!

Summary: Staying at The Orchid made my first trip to Beijing a very special experience!

Travel Purpose: leisure

Positive: Breakfast options were excellent, totally enjoyed our 4 day breakfast! The rooms were clean and watch out for the 2 house cats + 1 neighbour cat trying to get into your room whenever they have a chance!

Negative: Location is great but it's on a vehicle restricted street. That means we had to alight at an adjacent street and push our luggage to the hotel. A small consideration if you are travelling with young children or elderly

Summary: Great. Will go back!

Travel Purpose: leisure

Positive: The staff was absolutely amazing! Helpful and super friendly 🫶 The hotel is beautiful and the room was large and comfy. The location has a very old Beijing vibe - gorgeous!

Negative: The only thing the room was lacking was a place to hang your clothes. There was a closet, but the space was really low - anything longer than a sweater would touch the bottom and thus get wrinkled.

Summary: Excellent Hutong hotel
