Beijing 161Hotel-Lezainanluo Boutique Hotel

So nice of the staff to present me with a birthday cake! We loved be served our breakfast in-room daily! The room was beautiful.

Absolutely lovely stay. I was here with a friend of mine for three nights and we thorougly enjoyed ourselves. The pictures are nice...the hotel is nicer. Breakfast was delicious, staff was very helpful and friendly even though not everyone spoke good English. Location is perfect-situated right off Shajing Hutong street which is a scenic neighborhood/pedestrian area. Lots of places to eat close by and within walking distance of the major sites (Forbidden City, Wangfujing St, Bell tower, etc.) if you don’t mind walking all day to enjoy the city. Highly recommend. Cannot say enough positive things.

A very nice boutique hotel within the second ring. A lovely place, we would stay there again.

A real find for Beijing, this is a good value 12-room boutique hotel. I stayed for three nights, two in a standard room with a terrace and for the third night an upgrade to a duplex apartment. Furnishings and decoration were stylish and very well finished, the beds were great and towels were fluffy. Really lived up to expectations. Only the limited breakfast didn't match the boutique description. I'll definitely try and stay there again.

This is a beautiful hotel in a great location, but construction can be very disruptive during the day, and I would not wholeheartedly recommend staying here yet. When I checked in someone showed me the room, but I called him back because I could not get the remotes for the air-conditioning and TV to work. (Only Chinese TV channels, by the way.) For two days the room was stuck at 25 degrees Celsius, and it was uncomfortably warm because the bedding is very heavy. Finally I complained again and the remote was fixed (it had been "locked" at 25). The breakfast was very nice. The front desk arranged a cab very early, as needed (and even packed me a prepackaged sandwich since I'd miss breakfast), but told the taxi with the wrong terminal, which was a hassle. One afternoon a jackhammer was drilling in the room next door to mine and was very, very loud.
