I have just been there for two nights, durling a short business trip to Beijing. Actually, the comments here is the main reason I chose there. And fortunately, it did not disappoint me~~~ What impressed me the most is its antique style house, with the bed looks like those exhibited in the forbidden city. The delicate courtyard makes me feel... more

Comfortable, traditionally furnished rooms with real character. Really felt as though we were in Imperial China yet without suffering any of the privations which should go with this. The courtyard gardens were lovely and a great location to make contacts with other travellers and compare experiences. The walk down the hutong was slightly nerve wracking at first - but soon... more

My wife and I are just back from Beijing where we stayed at the Beijing Sihe Hotel for 5 nights and we absolutely loved the hotel! It is the perfect hotel for Beijing as you get the feel for old style China but have the modern amenities you expect. We stayed in the smallest room which is quite small but... more

We stayed her with our family in March 2008. We travelled with our two daughters, age 4 and 7. They loved the courtyard hotel and I would recommend it for families. The rooms are large. We had a standard double room with two large beds, and they brought in a third bed for an additional 110 RMB per night. I... more

It was a fantastic little place in the middle of Beijing busy hutongs. Clean and comfortable, very peacefull and charming. The people working there were very nice and helpfull, and they all speak english. The food was also excellent. more

I stayed here with my boyfriend in early January after wanting somewhere special for a new year reunion....and it didn't disapppoint. We had an executive room on a side courtyard which was really bright and airy and furnished well with traditional wooden items as well as more modern touches like cable TV, fridge, kettle and hairdyer. We also stayed in... more

My husband and I chose this hotel after reading the reviews on Tripadvisor and decided to splurge on their best quarters, a two-room suite with attached bath. It is indeed an elegant courtyard building in a romantic hutong neighborhood, but it is a badly run, overpriced hotel, and although we were too lazy to shift to a new place during... more

I really don't understand why this place is ranked #1 in Beijing. I have spent ten days in Beijing, staying in several hotels, so I can give recommendations to people coming to my wedding in Beijing next year. First the pros: Yes, it is authentic, cute, and in a traditional and quickly disappearing hutong neighborhood. But now to the cons:... more

Stayed 4 nights at Sihe Hotel in early December. Was anxious whether it would live up to the reviews, but no worries, it did! We were looking to stay somewhere that didn't feel like business travel and that couldn't be anywhere else but China. This was it! We had an executive room on the courtyard - if it weren't freezing... more
