Beijing Traditional View Hotel

nestled in the traditional hutong of Beijing, cosy nice hotel if you want to move around the hutong and confucius temple and drum and bell towers. lots of food in south of drum tower lane (nan luo gu jie).

It is not easy to find this hotel as the road to the main entrance is small and our bus cannot enter and we have to alight from the outside and carry our luggage in which is quite a distance. Worst thing is that the bus is not allowed to wait on the road and we have to quickly unload our luggage when reached. Surrounding the hotel, there are quite a numbers of restaurants or eateries, there’s also a stretch of food street where you can find a lot of eateries. This is one of the good point on the hotel location. The room we got was quite small with a king side bed. The bed was quite hard but is ok for one night stay. It has a very cultural design. Deposit of RMB200 per room per night is required while checking in. The breakfast is a disappointment as the food are cold and not to my taste. Overall the hotel is satisfactory except for the breakfast and the accessibility by bus.

Lo primero que sorprende es que en recepción apenas hablan otro idioma que no sea el chino mandarín. Algo que solventan genial con traductores simultáneos de móvil y con una sonrisa eterna en la cara. Hotel orientado a la clientela local pero cómodo y barato. Las habitaciones con cama tradicional no tienen desperdicio. Tuvimos algún problema con la hab. pero nos cambiaron. No pidas el desayuno para llevar, te darán dos rebanadas de pan de molde, un huevo duro y una bolsa de leche. El desayuno en buffet: alucinante. Puedes contratar excursiones que están bastante bien. First of all, reception can slight understand some English but they try hard as they use translation app always with a big smile. Hotel oriented to locals but comfortable and cheap. Don’t miss rooms with traditional bed. We had a problem with our room but we got changed. Don’t asked for the packed breakfast, you will be provided with a plastic bag with 2 bread loafs, a boiled egg and a 200ml milk bag. Otherwise the buffet breakfast is amazing. You can hire interesting excursions at the reception counter.
