Great hotel in a great location. We were upgraded to a Residence which was a nice surprise. Breakfast was fantastic with two restaurants to choose from. Staff were very friendly and welcoming.

I love the location so much. it is tucked away nicely in the Hutong but also close enough to the bustling street! it was really dark and quiet at night which allowed for good rest! the hotel breakfast was beyond excellent! the whole experience was one of the best I have had - after staying at many places!

the only minor downside is that there aren’t enough hooks in the room for winter coats and such. would be nice to have places to hang things to air them

Couldn’t recommend this boutique hotel enough. Prime location on a quiet side street with tons to see and eat within walking distance. We originally planned to stay in Wangfujing but we are so glad we didn’t - this was a much more lively and interesting part of the city. Staff were super helpful, providing the best recommendations and helping us navigate different aspects of our trip. Breakfast was awesome, both the Chinese and western options. Room was really comfortable with a handful of nice touches added that made it even better.

The location is excellent, and it provides a quiet oasis within the very busy streets of Beijing. We loved rooftop restaurant and bar. The rooms were also stylish and super cool and comfortable despite it being 40 degrees celsius during our stay. My main positive feedback though is reserved for the staff. My friend and I went out every night and were severely struggling to get up for our daytime activities because of both jetlag and being hungover. The hotel staff went way beyond their duty, organising our taxis and on one occasion waking us up when we had slept in. Thank you to the staff.

Modern conversion within the heart of the traditional hutongs. We stayed in one of the residences, just across the alley from the hotel. Our apartment had a bedroom, lounge with sofa bed, bathroom and small kitchenette. Nicely done with smooth concrete floors. Two options for breakfast - either Western or Chinese. The Western had some great twists, and some spicey options. The Chinese was a little chaotic the one time we tried it - they didn't realise we were guests so gave us the full menu to order from, before realising their mistake once we'd selected everything. This hotel is in a great location - there is a super walking/shopping street in the hutong, not far from the hotel, and it is a short walk to the bell and drum tower. We booked a trip to the Great Wall through the hotel which went very smoothly. The advice is to arrive early at the Wall. We arrived at 11am and there was an hour queue for the chairlift. When we came down at around 14:30 there was no queue - so it might in fact be better to have lunch and then climb the wall.

Nothing really that didn't like. A bit of a flaky start, with the specific residence we'd booked not being available (presumably given to someone else) despite (or because) we had booked it many months before. There seemed a reluctance to book a taxi for us, instead just referring us to the mini-program on WeChat. Overall a great hotel, in a good location, with very pleasant staff.

Beautiful Hutong Hotel in one of the Old quarters of town. I really liked the location. Nice walkable area with loads of shops and restaurants. The hotel is beautiful. But the best were the wonderful people who worked there. It was our first time in China, and they explained every question about getting around or using Apps, booked our trip to the Great Wall (so much cheaper than booking online beforehand). It’s the little extras like fresh fruits in the room that makes the Orchid special. We really enjoyed our stay!

4th or 5th stay here this time. I love the room with the staircases and the bed right beneath the skylight. So nice. I visited the Confucius temple - 孔庙&国子监. Turned out it's literally a straight line from 净土胡同 which is right around the corner from this hotel. Took just an 18minite stroll to get there! Amazing. The location is just the Best. 什刹海,烟袋胡同,etc of course are also right around from here. I love walking past the Drum Tower every day, and coming home through 南锣鼓巷 browsing all the goodies. Will definitely come back on my next trip back to Beijing.

The shower head doesn't let out good water pressure.

This property is in a great neighbourhood which is pedestrian friendly with lots of nice places to eat close by. The hotel also has a great restaurant of its own. The location is a short walk to the Shichahai metro station which goes directly to Wangfujing for the Forbidden City and Qian Men and the Temple of Heaven. You can also walk to the Lama temple and temple of Confucius quite easily. But the best thing about this hotel is the staff - in a country where very few people speak English this is a godsend. The staff here went above and beyond - and with kind smiles and patience with this tourist. They also offered a laundry service which was much needed as Beijing was my final stop on a long trip.

Nothing - everything was great!

Staying at the Orchid Hotel has been the highlight of my trip to Beijing. The hotel is neatly tucked away in a very quiet part of the Hutong not far from the historic Drum Tower (can be seen from the hotel’s rooftop). Many landmarks, restaurants, bars, and shops are conveniently located nearby and can be explored by foot — my preferred option. In terms of the space, the hotel’s interior has been carefully designed to preserve the characteristics of the very historic neighborhood while adding a bit of modern aesthetics. Finally, I very much enjoyed interacting with the staff, who were very friendly and eager to share the real Beijing experience with the guests.

Staff were so helpful and kind, always ready with a hot tea when we arrived in each day from the cold (we travelled in January!) and offered to clean room/replace towels/toiletries every day. Loved the location, very quiet, down a hutong with cool bars and restaurants scattered around the surrounding hutongs, was fun to explore, and a short walk to the lake and we even walked to the forbidden city from there too. The restaurants on-site were great and got some nice cocktails from the on-site bar too, very impressed overall

Everything was great
