Amazing Service ”
I always love staying at the Orchid and have been a long time customer. This time we stayed with our 9-month-old and it was so great as well. The staff was so helpful in getting me settled and allowed us to find the perfect room that was 1 floor rather than a loft bed. FuRongJi had a great high chair available and the staff were so attentive. My baby actually ended up napping at the exact time breakfast was available so they were able to accommodate us by bringing it to the room. I so appreciated the gesture of kindness and support. As always, our stay was wonderful.

Lovely Stay as Always”
Staff is very friendly and kindly upgraded us to the room across the street. The beds are so comfortable and the room was clean, simple, but very relaxing. Convenient to all the fun places in the hutongs. We have been there a few times and will be back again for sure.

Loud Garden Room”
My husband and I stay at the Orchid frequently and usually love it every time. Except this past time. We had booked the Garden Room which is a room we had never stayed in previously. Unfortunately, it was incredibly loud with footsteps, banging, and construction. I think the room is right below part of the kitchen so it started being noisy at around 7:20am. Then there were construction as well which didn't make it a restful morning. Everything else like the bed, cleanliness, staff, and breakfast was superb as always, just disappointed in the noise this time.

Always Amazing”
My husband and I are frequent repeat customers to the Orchid and each time, it is an enjoyable experience. They weren't that busy this time and upgraded us to the fabulous room with the balcony. The staff is welcoming and even remembered our breakfast order. We'll be back for sure.

Needs a bit of work ”
I purposefully booked the most expensive room and when I got there I had to check with them I was given it as it didn’t really match the expectations I had from the images I’d seen. Paint was peeling from the walls walking up to the room, some handles weren’t on doors inside the room and then the steps going up to the balcony looked - but weren’t - unsafe. The balcony itself didn’t have any privacy and just basically looked over the rooftops of the surrounding hutong area rather than anything else specific. Breakfast was nice but they got the order wrong, twice, and it was asked for it both Chinese and English. The staff on Reception were lovely and the bed itself was fantastic but the room did feel very small for the price paid. I went on recommendation from others so I assume they had a different experience to me and hopefully mine was just an abnormal aberration from normal times.

Like a cosy home in the middle of a really big city”
The Orchid is in the historical Hutong area of Beijing near Drumtower. The Orchid is also a historical building in a very narrow lane with two courtyards and only a few rooms located around them. The rooms are very comfortable, clean and decorated with love. On the roof top floor there is a restaurant where they serve excellent breakfast. If guests go on a very early morning tour, the friendly Orchid staff provide delicious banana bread and a coffee for take-away. The staff are young, international, always in a good mood, friendly, extraordinarily helpful and their English is excellent. The give you a map and even a smart phone, just in case you get lost, you can phone them at any time. After a long day of sightseeing you feel like coming home to the living-room-like reception. They give you a cup of delicious Chinese tea and show a real interest in what you have done and they give you useful information for your next day. Thanks for everything. I'll come back.

Experience Beijing as if you lived there”
Highly recommend this unique opportunity to stay in an actual, antique hutong in Beijing, smack in the midst of day to day life of Beijing families. The Orchid provides a window into a world that is quickly disappearing as Beijing (and the rest of China) modernizes into shopping malls and high rises. This intimate boutique hotel is a refreshing alternative; cozy, hand-carved and bohemian. Lovely, accommodating staff goes out of their way to meet your needs. Food is amazing! Gracious courtyard and lobby. Rooms are fine, basic needs are met and beds are tremendously comfortable. If you're looking for 5 star luxury, look elsewhere. But you can get that kind of experience anywhere in the world. Why travel all the way to Beijing to stay in a hotel chain you can find in any major city in the world? The Orchid offers a one-of-a-kind cultural experience.

Lovely helpful staff at this hutong hotel”
Julie, Lou and all the staff were lovely and fun and helped us so much with phones, taxis, recommendations, and even had two of the hotel bicycles repaired so we could use them! Would also really recommend the lovely taxi Lou booked for us for the great wall - a lovely spacious taxi and better value than many of the tours at 700 rmb return excluding entrance fees. We went to Mutianyu which was great. The Orchid is in a great location, easy to walk / cycle to everywhere really. I also recommend the bike beijing cycling tour, 3 hours and a great intro to Beijing. Beware google is banned in China - fortunately the Orchid give you a local phone for your stay. I feel the Orchid is expensive, but then again it is great! Thankyou julie lou and night shift girl - sorry my memory fails me! - for a fabulous and enjoyable stay

Exceptional”
I highly recommend The Orchid. My boyfriend and I live in Beijing and were looking for a staycation within the city. We'd heard The Orchid recommended several times, and decided to stay there. Our room was clean, charming, and comfortable. The grounds of the hotel, a courtyard, were absolutely beautiful. The breakfast was incredible! As I am a vegan, they made a wonderful breakfast for me that was not on the menu, and it was delicious. I will recommend The Orchid to any visitors I have in Beijing in the future!

Can we keep this wonderful place a secret?”
My husband and I stayed at The Orchid for 3 nights and we absolutely loved this hotel. It is in the hutongs, which are the best areas to explore on a bike in Beijing. It is historical appearing on the outside (in a narrow alleyway) and modern on the inside. Everything is cozy, beautiful, and clean. The best thing to say about this place is the staff. My husband had misplaced his phone and the hotel staff lent him a Chinese phone for the duration of our stay. We called the staff several times during our roamings in Beijing in the first two days to help with directions, talking to cab drivers, booking sleeper trains, planning a trip to Great Wall etc. and they helped us with all of it. Our breakfast was included and the food there along with the staff were, again, wonderful. The rooftop is a place to see even in the winter. That's all I can say, I just loved this place and it's made wonderful by its staff and its location...and it's breakfast.

Wonderful boutique hotel, warm hospitality in great Hutong location”
We have thoroughly enjoyed our stay here in this gorgeous and leafy courtyard boutique hotel. The staff here is incredibly helpful and makes us feel very welcomed. The rooftop area is a lovely spot to hang out, especially after a long day of exploring Beijing. Breakfast food is one of the best hotel food we have ever tasted, a perfect mix between Beijing and western style. There is a great little dumpling restaurant just across the hotel which satisfy our craving for yummy noodles and juicy dumplings. We so wish we can stay for the whole week here! If we ever come back to Beijing, this would be the only hotel we would go back to, we are very fond of this hotel! Thank you for looking after us :)

The soul of old Beijing”
Situated in the heart of a old Beijing Hutong, The Orchid would be an excellent choice to stay and experience the soul of old Beijing. Excellent choices of food and shops within walking distance and places of interest is just a couple of subway station away. Highly recommended to those who want to experience the old Beijing and The Orchid staff are very helpful and accomodating.

Simply phenomenal”
Beautiful beautiful hotel in a fantastic location. The ONLY hotel I'll be staying at in Beijing. Rooms were cute, bathrooms felt super natural (and somehow Caribbean exotic with exposed rock). There's a terrace upstairs overlooking alleyways with lights. Beautiful at day or night. Tons of trees and private gardens. Amazing service from staff - some of the friendliest and most helpful people I've met. If you're looking for a cozy place close to old city Beijing nightlife...Stay here - you won't regret!!!!

Fantastic Staff, Fantastic Location, Great for touring Beijing”
As a Chinese speaker, I didn't need most of the services provided - but the loaner cell phone with WeChat service, and all of the maps and local knowledge, combined with fantastic location right next to the Bell and Drum Towers make the Orchid an amazing place to stay to be a tourist in Beijing.

Great staff!!!”
We loved the staff at the Orchid Hotel. We were only in Beijing overnight and they were so accommodating in helping us get to the Forbidden City and the Great Wall in such a short time. Loved the quaint city life of the surrounding neighborhood as well. The only negative is that the window screen to our bathroom was open so we had flying insects in the room at night.

Exceptional on every level”
One of the most customer focused hotel i've ever stayed in. location brilliant amongst the Hutongs, staff so helpful and even went to train station before we arrived to collect some train tickets, given a phone on arrival so that we could navigate the city more easily and call the hotel when we wanted to return (passing phone to taxi driver!). Excellent map given also with all local bars and restaurants. Breakfast 5* drinks in evening with sunset over hutongs 5* Would not recommend staying anywhere else in Beijing - this is the winner!

Cute hotel, best breakfast, hip location ”
Best hotel breakfast. The hotel is in a hutong neighborhood that is fun, young, and, hip. I love being away from the touristy parts kf Beijing among the locals. There's lots of good shopping and restaurants nearby. The staff is friendly and helpful. They even lend you a free cell phone to use while in town. The rooms were clean and comfortable. Great smelling shampoos and soaps too
