161 Hotel

Excellent walk on the Great Wall of China. Convenient to go there in my first trip to Beijing. Going up to the wall was made easy even for handicap people with cable car and handicap friendly access facilities.

Stayed here for 6 nights in a family room for 3 persons. Getting here:Took a cab frm Beijing capital airport.Took us about an hour .Gave the direction printed out frm our booking at trip.com to the driver.paid 105 yuan.Dropped us off at the entrance of Lishi hutong.Walk in around 5min and its on yr right. The room we chose had a double and a single bed placed side by side with a side table , wall mounted tv ,wall mounted clothes rack,coat hanger with around 5 hooks, a small rectangular table and thats about it(no wardrobe).There is also around 4 sockets for electrical devices . The toilet has a shower and wc (seated ) together.So only one job at a time.Towels are replaced on a daily basis.Hand towels too.Toothbrush,comb,toilet paper is provided.Housekeeping daily. Surrounding area,a residential hutong is safe to walk around even late at night.Quite interesting to see residents going about their daily life. With Dongsi subway around 8 to 10mins away.Very convenient to move around the city.McDonald's, KFC,as well as many food options nearby. We arranged transport back to the airport thru the hotel.Its a private hire and actually came to the hotel entrance.Costs 200 yuan. Apart from the room noise during breakfast starting around 7.15am to 10am(rm next to dining area).Its a decent place to crash after a full day of walking.With clean towels and room cleaned.There is a slight smell coming from the toilet basin but not that strong to be a dealbreaker.Really depends where you are from. Pls bear in mind,this is a residential area. What u experience is what they go through on a daily basis. This hotel is not for those who are more used to a more international chain type hotel.But if u want a hutong experience and a place to crash without breaking the bank.Go for it.

Stayed for 3N. Enjoyed my stay at family room. Loft unit, with staircase up to 2nd floor with a double bed. There’s a single room at level 1 and living room with sofa and tv. Reception is friendly and helpful, offers tour to mutianyu Great Wall and can help to book driver if you require. 100m walk to main road. Note that the hotel is located in Hutong so road is one way, most taxi is not willing to enter and will drop at main road.
