Lemeng Hotel (Beijing Houhai Drum Tower)

The room we book abit small due to we carry 2 big luggage, thus we decided to upgrade to a bigger room. the room was clean and location is very convenient as just 3min walk to Metro station, will come again next time when i in Beijing.

location was good as u can access to few of the attraction spot by walking. Subway station is just 5mins away by foot. Staff was friendly and helpful.

Magnificent hotel that puts you really into the Old BeiJing mood. Could not have been nearer to a subway station. also very convenient as some bars are there and a supermarket. Rooms are just the size needed, nice beddings and bathroom. you can sip a tea and relax in the courtyard...maybe XiaoBai their little white cat can greet you with some purrs

We came from Beijing airport by taxi to the hotel. The entrance to Lemeng hotel is situated behind Manxin mansion drum tower. So if you are coming by taxi to the hotel, don't miss the side entrance in the first image. We selected the courtyard comfy room. The bed was comfortable, cozy and the hotel was near line 8 metro which was convenient for exploring the city.

I booked this hotel as I thought it would be nice to stay in an authentic old Chinese hotel. It is indeed an old hotel and the rooms have obviously been upgraded and equipped with a great shower and very comfortable beds. HOWEVER be warned that if you expect peace and quiet you will not get it. The walls and windows have no noise reduction whatsoever and the neighboring guests were not noisy, they were going about there business like opening the zippers on their suitcases, switching on and off lights, chatting. Every sound can be heard from the room next door, I kid you not. ALSO, be careful about the room you chose, the smaller rooms have a king size bed which although very very comfortable, almost fills the room completely, two people cannot pass between the bottom of the bed and the wall on which is a 50+” screen TV, much too big for the small room and completely unnecessary in my opinion. I have 3 for cleanliness as I had to ask for something to be cleaned off a wall in the bathroom, I think the less said about it the better however other than that the rooms are clean and the bed linen and towels are spotless. There is no breakfast served at the hotel so other than asking for the room to be cleaned there was no service to talk about but I’m sure it would have been good had we needed anything else. I will never book an old authentic Chinese hotel again as the lack of sound proofing is not worth it.

Supreme nice location 👍
