Amazing Service ”

I always love staying at the Orchid and have been a long time customer. This time we stayed with our 9-month-old and it was so great as well. The staff was so helpful in getting me settled and allowed us to find the perfect room that was 1 floor rather than a loft bed. FuRongJi had a great high chair available and the staff were so attentive. My baby actually ended up napping at the exact time breakfast was available so they were able to accommodate us by bringing it to the room. I so appreciated the gesture of kindness and support. As always, our stay was wonderful.

Lovely Stay as Always”

Staff is very friendly and kindly upgraded us to the room across the street. The beds are so comfortable and the room was clean, simple, but very relaxing. Convenient to all the fun places in the hutongs. We have been there a few times and will be back again for sure.

Best possible choice in the original Beijing”

Incredible staff, amazing location. Most incredible breakfast and bakery at the hotel. Peaceful roof terrace, fun walk to Drum Towers. Easy bus for 25 cents US to the Forbidden City. Walking to shops, Confucious Garden and Buddha Temple.

Loud Garden Room”

My husband and I stay at the Orchid frequently and usually love it every time. Except this past time. We had booked the Garden Room which is a room we had never stayed in previously. Unfortunately, it was incredibly loud with footsteps, banging, and construction. I think the room is right below part of the kitchen so it started being noisy at around 7:20am. Then there were construction as well which didn't make it a restful morning. Everything else like the bed, cleanliness, staff, and breakfast was superb as always, just disappointed in the noise this time.

Always Amazing”

My husband and I are frequent repeat customers to the Orchid and each time, it is an enjoyable experience. They weren't that busy this time and upgraded us to the fabulous room with the balcony. The staff is welcoming and even remembered our breakfast order. We'll be back for sure.

The breakfast was fantastic and staff outstanding. Thanks for a lovely stay.

Experience Beijing as if you lived there”

Highly recommend this unique opportunity to stay in an actual, antique hutong in Beijing, smack in the midst of day to day life of Beijing families. The Orchid provides a window into a world that is quickly disappearing as Beijing (and the rest of China) modernizes into shopping malls and high rises. This intimate boutique hotel is a refreshing alternative; cozy, hand-carved and bohemian. Lovely, accommodating staff goes out of their way to meet your needs. Food is amazing! Gracious courtyard and lobby. Rooms are fine, basic needs are met and beds are tremendously comfortable. If you're looking for 5 star luxury, look elsewhere. But you can get that kind of experience anywhere in the world. Why travel all the way to Beijing to stay in a hotel chain you can find in any major city in the world? The Orchid offers a one-of-a-kind cultural experience.

Great place, cool neighborhood”

The Orchid has amazing rooms and exceptional food.

Great hutong quaint location! ”

Lovely rooftop little patio. Great quality food. Excellent service. Highly recommend it. Nice quiet place in a traditional hutong. You get a real flavor of life in the hutong.

Staff were outstanding way beyond the norm. Made the stay so special and added to the charm”

Special mention to Lilly and Kate for making our stay very special.

Authentic Hutong Boutique Hotel with modern amenities ”

Traditional setting right in the middle of BaoChao Hutong Walking distance to Drum Tower and subway station Perfect breakfast with choices available ala carte style Awesome roof top and stylish design! Love the Loft-like room with split level!

Great Hutong Experience”

Great breakfast made to order. Small rooms, but that's to be expected in the hutong area. Wonderful, friendly and helpful staff. Cold rooms (stayed in February 2019)

Needs a bit of work ”

I purposefully booked the most expensive room and when I got there I had to check with them I was given it as it didn’t really match the expectations I had from the images I’d seen. Paint was peeling from the walls walking up to the room, some handles weren’t on doors inside the room and then the steps going up to the balcony looked - but weren’t - unsafe. The balcony itself didn’t have any privacy and just basically looked over the rooftops of the surrounding hutong area rather than anything else specific. Breakfast was nice but they got the order wrong, twice, and it was asked for it both Chinese and English. The staff on Reception were lovely and the bed itself was fantastic but the room did feel very small for the price paid. I went on recommendation from others so I assume they had a different experience to me and hopefully mine was just an abnormal aberration from normal times.

Like a cosy home in the middle of a really big city”

The Orchid is in the historical Hutong area of Beijing near Drumtower. The Orchid is also a historical building in a very narrow lane with two courtyards and only a few rooms located around them. The rooms are very comfortable, clean and decorated with love. On the roof top floor there is a restaurant where they serve excellent breakfast. If guests go on a very early morning tour, the friendly Orchid staff provide delicious banana bread and a coffee for take-away. The staff are young, international, always in a good mood, friendly, extraordinarily helpful and their English is excellent. The give you a map and even a smart phone, just in case you get lost, you can phone them at any time. After a long day of sightseeing you feel like coming home to the living-room-like reception. They give you a cup of delicious Chinese tea and show a real interest in what you have done and they give you useful information for your next day. Thanks for everything. I'll come back.

Lovely helpful staff at this hutong hotel”

Julie, Lou and all the staff were lovely and fun and helped us so much with phones, taxis, recommendations, and even had two of the hotel bicycles repaired so we could use them! Would also really recommend the lovely taxi Lou booked for us for the great wall - a lovely spacious taxi and better value than many of the tours at 700 rmb return excluding entrance fees. We went to Mutianyu which was great. The Orchid is in a great location, easy to walk / cycle to everywhere really. I also recommend the bike beijing cycling tour, 3 hours and a great intro to Beijing. Beware google is banned in China - fortunately the Orchid give you a local phone for your stay. I feel the Orchid is expensive, but then again it is great! Thankyou julie lou and night shift girl - sorry my memory fails me! - for a fabulous and enjoyable stay

Exceptional”

I highly recommend The Orchid. My boyfriend and I live in Beijing and were looking for a staycation within the city. We'd heard The Orchid recommended several times, and decided to stay there. Our room was clean, charming, and comfortable. The grounds of the hotel, a courtyard, were absolutely beautiful. The breakfast was incredible! As I am a vegan, they made a wonderful breakfast for me that was not on the menu, and it was delicious. I will recommend The Orchid to any visitors I have in Beijing in the future!

Can we keep this wonderful place a secret?”

My husband and I stayed at The Orchid for 3 nights and we absolutely loved this hotel. It is in the hutongs, which are the best areas to explore on a bike in Beijing. It is historical appearing on the outside (in a narrow alleyway) and modern on the inside. Everything is cozy, beautiful, and clean. The best thing to say about this place is the staff. My husband had misplaced his phone and the hotel staff lent him a Chinese phone for the duration of our stay. We called the staff several times during our roamings in Beijing in the first two days to help with directions, talking to cab drivers, booking sleeper trains, planning a trip to Great Wall etc. and they helped us with all of it. Our breakfast was included and the food there along with the staff were, again, wonderful. The rooftop is a place to see even in the winter. That's all I can say, I just loved this place and it's made wonderful by its staff and its location...and it's breakfast.
