Terrible hotel, the worst I ever experienced
The WIFI is often off, computer keeps telling me there is no WIFI. The TV displays are not clear, only few channels to choose. No elevator to use. You have to carry luggages by stairs. The soaps for clean your body are small as finger nails, hard to grab.

Disappointed with hotel
Well i never booked this hotel to begin with for my holiday, but had to transfer and was told it was an upgrade by expedia and had a view out of the window. But when i arrived there the building looked like it was being redone and in the lobby it was terrible, there were air conditioning systems everywhere and metal beams on the floor, there was alot of rubbish outside of reception and flooring falling apart in the lobby so i was already very disappointed and not happy. The staff didnt speak any english so language barrier was difficult, but once we got to our room there was no view out the window just bricks and rubbish and when using our shower it would flood everytime and when we were given new towels we even had one towel given to us ripped in half. We were very disappointed and would not recommend this hotel to anyone and also several times our key card didnt work so had to get staff to let us in our room, not worth booking with this hotel

So-so hotel but in a fantastic location
I've stayed at the Beijing Hutong Hotel (Zaoyuanju) many times over the past 8 years and it hasn't changed. It's a cheap hotel, with only so-so conditions (small rooms, sometimes smelly, bathroom doors that don't close, etc.), and few amenities except that it's in probably the best place in Beijing if you value being down a hutong that is right next to the metro and a stone's throw from the Drum Tower, with a lot of wonderful restaurants, coffee places, etc. The thing I noticed on my most recent trip, when I came with 5 family members, is that the staff has become increasingly unfriendly and difficult. They must have made a pact lately to try to be unhelpful to guests. They are surly, seem unhappy, and instinctively say NO if you ask them anything. If you speak Chinese, that helps, as it did for us. In the end, we were able to get what we needed most of the time (like changing a room when it smelled like a broken toilet) but if you need a fair amount of help or advice, and/or are picky about good service, this probably isn't your place.

In nice hutong near attractions. English spoken
In nice hutong near many attractions (drum and bell towers and shopping). Receptionist spoke great English which was helpful. Be careful as they charge you for what you use in the room (bottled water for example).

Nice place for tourist, not what's promised.
It's a great place. Lots of stuff to do within walking distance and close to public transit for further things. Clean room. Staff is somewhat helpful. Downsides. You don't get what's promised and they try n charge you more. When I booked I was promised free coffee n tea, free breakfast and a complimentary bottle of water. Got non of that. Coffee n tea is in lobby n about 5rmb a cup. You have two bottles of water in your room which I was charged 10 rmb for and my free breakfast they wanted me to pay 20 plus yuan for. I just went to waffle place on corner for 9 n way better food. Over all nice place n I'd stay again but watch out for the nickel and Dimon on stuff that's supposed to be included.

We enjoyed our stay here, the only issue was that there was no breakfast when we were there early December. The staff were nice and the room was clean and cosy. The area is good for he sights.

Absolutely Disgusting
The room that my mother and I stayed in was absolutely disgusting. As soon as we opened the door, we were hit with an unexplainable odor. The smell was so strong that even after opening the windows to let it air out for an hour, you could still smell the awful odor. We were woken up several times at night from the smell. The beds were so disgusting that both my mother and I slept on top of the covers with all of our clothes on - we just used our jackets are blankets. The walls around the bed had mold to the point that parts of the wall were black and soft to the touch. The beds were rock hard. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone. I have stayed at hostels that were more appealing than this accommodation.

Stayed for a week with a Chinese friend. Surrounding lane-ways are part of old Beijing and it's near the Drum Tower. Bus stops two minutes away, subway 5 minute walk. Staff pleasant but with little English. Hassle-free stay

STAFF SERVICE NOT GOOD
Because I use my orbucks, I need not pay .I stayed there for two night. When I check out and hurry to go airport , they said I have no reservation and did not pay any money before. They requested me to pay again. My phone is not work in China, and they cannot phone for me. At that moment ,I almost cry, why they did not ask me when I check in, then I still have time to follow up. No choice, I should catch my flight. I almost ready to pay again. Lucky, at last they find my record, I need not pay again. Next time, when you check in ,make sure they had receive your reservation and bill.

Reasonable
Stayed two nights at this location. It's a decent place, clean and quiet. The room ventilation is not the best, but it is still comfortable. It is located in a quieter area, and still accessible to transportation, restaurants, and shopping. It's a budget stay, but I liked the quiet and less busy setting. And nice to be away from so much of the tourist crowd, a little more local feel.
