Travel + Leisure "Multiple buildings surround a quadrangle in this courtyard-style Dongcheng neighborhood hotel, which is down an ancient alley, or hutong." Full review
Rough Guide "Converted from a Qing dynasty mansion, this hotel, though it’s aimed at tour groups, has a little more charisma than most such places."

Avoid the expensive breakfast.
DK Eyewitness "A more comfy, lived-in atmosphere, although unfortunately over-zealous modernisation has stripped the hotel of some of its charm."
Gayot "For a taste of imperial living during the Qing dynasty, this hotel offers authentic decor and a traditional quadrangle courtyard setting."
Time Out "Originally built in the Qing Dynasty for General Zeng Ge Ling Qin, his pad now attracts tourists who want to stay somewhere with character." Full review
Lonely Planet "Rooms may be a bit cramped at this hútòng hotel, a courtyard house built by a Mongolian general during the Qing-dynasty era, but the location and setting are big plus points."
Fodor's "This is a classic old-Beijing experience, turned over to tourism, with no attempts at modern updates or fancy design, but, rather, just a good choice for cheap, traditional living." Full review
