Alles bestens.
Wunderbare Lage um das alte Zentrum der Stadt direkt nach der Ankunft zu Fuß zu erkunden. Zugewandtes, aufmerksames und freundliches Personal und sehr gutes essen in allen dreien zum Hotel gehörenden Lokalitäten. Können wir bedenkenlos weiterempfehlen (alles auf Nachhaltigkeit ausgerichtet) auch wenn in dem sehr alten verschachtelten Gebäude gerade noch Renovierungsarbeiten stattfanden.
Vorlieben sind verschieden. Für unsere Schlafgewohnheiten war das Bett etwas zu weich.

A melhor escolha para Pequim
As pessoas… todo o staff era como um grupo de amigos prontos a ajudar e a tornar a nossa viagem inesquecível
O colchão achamos demasiado mole.

Beautiful space in historic hutongs
The location is flawless in the heart of the historic Hutongs, as is the beautiful design and aesthetic. Two very sweet cats have free rein, which is cute if you’re a cat lover (although one did try and get in our room a few times!). We loved the onsite bakery and cocktails in the bar were a real treat. Breakfast was good and plentiful, but we didn’t get to enjoy the Cantonese breakfast fully as not much was available during our stay. The showers were hot too, which is essential when it’s so cold out! The absolute highlight of our stay was the hike we did on a section of the wild / unrestored Great Wall; which the staff at the orchid organised for us. It wasn’t particularly cheap, but we felt great value as it included our guide, driver and lunch. We did a section from Jianku, ask for Peter as your guide, you will not regret it!
Our room was *very* small and there wasn’t any space to store our things; I think the photos on booking.com may need updating. We didn’t find the staff to be particularly attentive (apart from organising our hike). For a four star hotel - and for the price point (one of the most expensive stays in our whole trip) I would’ve expected some little extras / tips on the local area etc.

A beautiful, stylish, peaceful oasis in an old Hutong.
A beautiful and stylish peaceful oasis in an old Hutong - a maze of alleyways - part of old Beijing. Close to history, lots of great eating and drinking options nearby. The onsite breakfast restaurant 'toast' - was excellent. The M.C. Escher like steps and rooftops provide views across the Hutong to the historic drum and bell towers. Super-comfortable bed, clean and fresh room, beautifully scented. Fresh fruit, water and tea provided. Most comfortable. All in all a great spot. Unique and well designed and executed. Good very useful info provided for forgein visitors. Helpful in arranging cars/ drivers. Staff speak good English.
I was in room 2 which is tasteful and lovely, with a skylit section ( but possible to blackout); but it was below the'toast' restaurant kitchen, so from around 630am early morning banging and cooking sounds did intrude on my rest. Also low hot water pressure. Private car and driver arranged for day to take us to Great Wall, some very unnecessary stress from staff when we were running little late in the morning for our own car ! Good driver through.

AMAZING PLACE
The Orchid is exceptional. The staff are super helpful - Kate helped us book many sites that were almost impossible to do as a foreigner, and also recommended restaurants and was very supportive with booking taxis or any means of transport. The location is great, very close to many buses and metro station, and very easy to get to. The facilities are wonderful, it feels like an oasis in the middle of Beijing. And our room was so big, pretty and comfortable... Last but not least, the breakfast was AMAZING. I could not have enough of the French toast and latte... They had local and continental options to choose from every morning. I also recommend the Cantonese restaurant on the same road, delicious food! I would definitely come back to the Orchid at some point in my life!
Nothing to be honest.

perfect stay - 100% recommend
We had the perfect stay. It was our first time in Beijing (or China in general) and the staff couldn’t have been more helpful! They were all super friendly and chatty, really the best! They helped with finding restaurants etc and even called different cinemas to find a movie that we wanted to watch with subtitles. The staff was the best! Besides that, the breakfast offered was absolutely amazing, with Western and Cantonese options in two different restaurants! And the Cafe inside the hotel had the best cookies! The bed inside the room was big and comfortable, the bathroom was perfect! The location was great too, with a super lively shopping (food and other stuff) street only a five minute walk away! 10/10 stay <3

Charming hotel in the hutong zone
Fabulous ladies on the reception. They made all the difference. They spoke excellent English and were so helpful and friendly. The cats were gorgeous too! The food and drink options were great- Toast was our favourite hotel restaurant with tasty Middle Eastern food and wonderful breakfast options. We loved eating breakfast on the roof terrace and had a couple of cocktails in the bar. The location was perfect- in the traditional, charming hutong zone, near the metro and with plenty of leafy, shaded streets nearby to go shopping or eat and drink. Would definitely recommend.
Our bed was up a narrow flight of stairs and the mattress was on the ground. This was fine for us but could be tricky if you are old or have a bad back!
