    “CNY Trip”

    We came here to spend our CNY but unfortunately there were no fireworks as it's not allowed in Beijing (Gubei Water Town is considered part of Beijing). It was still lively on First Day of CNY and eateries were all opened. The hotel staff is exceptionally helpful and their services are too notch! Rooms are very spacious and comfortable. Best sleep that I had for this trip!

    “Nice hotel ”

    Being a boutique hotel obviously it was nice. We were there on a Monday and after the Golden week so it’s during low season, the hotel could’ve given us a room with proper balcony and not the wall. Other than that everything was good.
