Tuck Yip
June 22, 2025
The hotel is a traditional courtyard mansion which seemingly has been converted into a hotel.
Its old architectural design and layout will likely appeal to those who would like to be transported back into time in "Old" Beijing.
The property is conveniently located within 10 minutes walk to The Forbiden City, Wangfujing Street and Jinyu Hutong Subway Station.
It is two (2) stations to Qiangmen Subway Station from Jinyu Hutong Subway Station (Line 8) via transfer at Wangfujing Station (Line 2).
Our room, Room 205 on the 2nd Floor, is very spacious with a comfortable and spacious ensuite bathroom (the bathroom could have been more spacious if not for the slanting ceiling).
The room is clean and the bed very comfortable while the aircond does its job efficiently in cooling the room during our stay from June 5 - June 9, 2025 even with soaring temperatures outside.
Staffs at the hotel are very friendly and helpful ESPECIALLY the LADY who manned the front office / reception at night to early morning during our stay at the hotel. My wife and I really enjoyed our conversations with her.
The male staff who manned the front office / reception on the morning of June 8 and the lady on the day we checked out on June 9 were also very friendly and helpful.
An open-air terrace on the 2nd floor allows hotel guests to order food deliveries and have their meals there. Guests can wash their clothes and hang it out to dry on the open-air terrace.
Although the hotel does not have an in-house restaurant, there is a very nice cafe, Sugar Cafe, on the ground floor / Level 1 that serves very nice coffee and cakes. Simple bites like pizza is available too.
Within a 5 minutes walk from the hotel are many restaurants / eateries, convenience / grocery stores.
The famous Siji Minfu Peking Duck Restaurant is within a 15 minutes walk from the hotel. Guests can get a Queue No., walk back to the hotel to rest and freshen up before returning to the restaurant 2 hours later.
Our stay would have have been further enhanced if the Management could install towel rails / clothing hooks in the bathroom, more clothing hooks in the room and complimentary Chinese tea / coffee in the room.
My wife and I would love to stay at the hotel if we visit Beijing again.
