The room was very comfortable and clean. Well packed with all the amenities you might need and even free snacks! There was room cleaning every day, the cleaning lady was extremely nice and polite. They also had free laundry service which was super useful. The reception staff were very helpful and kind , they helped us with all the needed reservations to the attractions! The breakfast was great, with a variety of food everyday, and the breakfast ladies were super sweet and serviceable! If we ever get the chance to come back to Beijing we would definitely stay here again!!!!reservations

The location is great for good food and tourism. The beds were comfortable and changed daily. We felt right at home.

There are several hotels of the same name in the chain, nearby to each other, so make sure that you go by the address on the booking not the map directions which were wrong on Expedia for our booking.

I’m giving the hotel a 5 star rating for their hospitality and responsiveness. There were many freebies in the room and delicious breakfast, and the staff even installed a safe bed rail since my baby was traveling with us.

Unfortunately the bed was still a bit small for our family of three, and the hotel was very kind to allow us an early checkout and refund us for the remaining evenings. The five star review reflects the hotel’s responsiveness and willingness to work with their guests.

The hotel was situated in the Gulou area of the city, which is perfect for small shops and cool hangouts. It's a little difficult to find (maybe some extra signage would help travelers), but has a cool courtyard with bars and coffeeshops right outside. Theme of the hotel is \"nostalgia\" so you'll find old toys and vintage candies throughout.

Also, important for fellow travelers who may have these questions:
- convenience store on the corner with very cheap water, soda, snacks
- attentive staff with excellent language translation software to assist if needed
- few blocks from the Andingmen and Yonghe Temple subway stations

Nice place, but some noise

This place is a little hard to find (it took me 10 minutes of wandering until I finally saw it), but the stay there was pleasant. One thing that was a little annoying was the noise from other rooms or nearby places. After nightfall we could hear the sounds and conversations of other people's social gatherings almost as if they were right under our window (they might have been, but we couldn't see). It made it difficult to get to sleep at night even with the window closed. Other than that the hotel staff were nice and tried to be very helpful. In fact, I wanted to order pizza delivered to our room but couldn't because I don't have the ability to pay online with my foreign credit card. One of the hotel staff ordered it for me with her online account and only asked that I give her the equivalent cash when it was delivered. We did the whole process together so I could see she didn't profit from doing it that way. Very helpful.

Overall a nice place but communication is an issue

The people at the front desk are extremely nice and helpful, but their English is very poor, so communication is a challenge, so be aware that you will need some kind of translator device. Also, there is a bar right in front of the hotel, so it is very noisy at night time. If you want to get a good night of sleep, make sure to request a room on the backside of the hotel. The breakfast (not included) is fairly decent and the toiletries (included) very nice.

Good service. Cozy rooms that had nightlife below

The staff at the hotel were great, and either spoke English, or made wonderful attempts to get over the language barrier. Our rooms were on the 2nd floor. Cigarette smoke wafted in one night, and the bar under our room was quite noisy on a couple of nights. The rooms were small so I needed to arrange for 2 for our family of 4. There was some confusion about there being more than one Nostalgia hotel in Beijing, so we accidently booked the wrong hotel when trying to arrange accomodation with friends.

Best hotel hands down

It is in the hutong so it might not be the easiest place to find. The staff were very friendly and helpful. I was greeted warmly and they helped me with my luggages. They also offered me a hot malt beverage because it was winter time. The deco was awesome and they play 80s chinese songs in the lobby. Room was a little small for two person but it was very clean and I think it was good deal for the bucks. Everything in the room was free, including two yougurt drinks, two bottles of mineral waters, chinese hand cream and toiletries. They offer razors, power convertors and many others upon request. The customer service was excellent and I enjoyed my stay there. I would highly recommend it for anyone who wants to enjoy nostalgic chinese experience.

Lovely, quirky hotel on a hutong

This hotel is an excellent choice for those who want to experience life in Beijing's old quarters as well as explore the sights as it is centrally situated on a hutong (alleyway), close to bars, cafes and shops and within easy reach of the Lama Temple and the metro. Rooms are quite small, as you would expect in this area, but very clean and perfectly comfortable. There is a fairly basic but cheap breakfast. The hotel has a quirky, individualistic style, filled with memorabilia. Staff are exceptionally helpful and friendly, from cleaners to managers. There is not much English spoken but we always got by with the help of a translation app and good old sign language.

Great location, cold staff

The hotel is in a very nice location and it's easy to spend a couple of days just exploring places nearby. It's a VERY walkable neighborhood. Unfortunately, the staff comes across as being rather cold and distant. I suspect that it may be partly their very limited ability to speak anything but Chinese. Yes, this is China, but almost every hotel I've stayed in has English speaking people out front.

The room I had was small, and unfortunately looked out at a dirty wall I could reach out and touch. I believe it was the outside wall to the elevator shaft. When I asked to be moved to another room, they apologized and finally were able to communicate that they had given the room I had booked to someone else who arrived earlier. Of course, this makes no sense. Even if I had arrived at 4am (I arrived around 9pm) they should have kept the room I paid for empty and waiting.

I really wish I could offer a more positive review of this hotel. If you're feeling lucky and want to roll the dice, you might end up having a pleasant stay. But there seem to be a number of other hotels in the same general location. I'll try one of those next time.

Great location hotel on a budget for a short stay

We stayed here for nights in April. our initial room we were given was extremely shabby so we asked for an alternative which we were given and looked a little less shabby.

The main plus points are;
* great location in the hutongs of Beijing
* comfy clean bed with great pillows
* good hot shower

The negatives
*literally no storage space. not a single drawer, shelf or wardrobe - just some hooks on the wall and 4 coat hangers.
* glass encased bathroom- we're a married couple but even with the blind down its not pleasant still being able to see your other half using the loo
* power cut problems - happened twice for us. once it was out for 2 hours. we desperately wanted showers after our trip to the great Wall. the 2nd time was at 5am trying to get ready to go to the airport. this time lasted about 5 minutes.

Would we stay again - yes... but for a max of 2 nights

The staff are friendly and courteous, their breakfast is quick and affordable (at 20 yuan each--you can get it cheaper on the street, but for convenience it's a nice option), and the decor is charming and quirky.

Located in the hutongs between 2 subways this hotel is great for getting around Beijing easily.

Fangia hutong is on the right a short way down. The hotel is quite a walk up there and the entrance is after a library type bar on the right. The bar owners around there will help if you can't find it, it's through some large gates. The hotel staff speak a little English but the manager is very helpful. The breakfasts are good value for £2, they have toast, eggs, fruit, yoghurt and Chinese. Explore the area there are some great sights!

Nostalgic but tiny

I stayed there for the second time which means I must like it for some reason but what I don't like is that rooms are really small. The shower and the toilet for example are in one place which means the toilet seat is wet after taking a shower.

So if your interest is to stay in an authentic Chinese neighborhood with many opportunities around this hotel is a great choice. If you value some extra comfort like space, a gym, a taxi pick up/drop off or other amenities you may find much better for little more money.

Well it is a great place if you wanna be in the center of nightlife or close to subway and businesses. It us in the center but very very quiet without any big streets close.
On the other hand dont expect a five star or real four star. It is the atmosphere which makes this hotel worth a try.
