Worth weighing
4 to weigh- No on-site parking; valet only — If you plan to drive, note that only valet parking is offered, and there's no self-parking option. Street parking in a hutong is likely limited.
- Pets are not allowed — The hotel has a strict no-pets policy, so you'll need to make other arrangements if traveling with an animal.
- Check-in starts at 14:00 — Early arrivals won't be able to access their room until 2 PM; the check-in window extends to 23:59, but plan for a late afternoon start if you land early.
- Limited number of reviews — With only 25 reviews, the high ratings—though positive—are based on a smaller sample. Less data means the picture could change as more guests stay.
