Very Good
Great service and a unique property, more like a cozy Airbnb than a hotel (kitchen, etc). The staff is super helpful and friendly and worked hard to make my stay great, like getting an early breakfast packed before sightseeing and making sure my laundry was done promptly before I left.
I generally liked the place even thought the layout is a little strange, i.e. you have to walk across a road to get to your room. The breakfast was good, but again somewhat unique with its pan-Euro-Israeli offerings. I tried the Cantonese place the day I arrive and it was decent.

Super stylish. Delicious food. Delightful staff.
Very small but well laid out room, which we expected as other rooms not available. in a larger room would definitely been 10 out of ten.

Amazing location to visit Beijing for the first time. You get to experience sleeping in a real courtyard Hutong. The two restaurants you can choose for breakfast are delicious. And the staff was super helpful to choose the itinerary for each day and what to eat. Would stay with here again when I visit Beijing again!
The room was great but it missed somekind of curtain to block the light in the morning.

It was a comfortable oasis in the middle of a hectic section of Beijing. My room was cozy and the breakfast at the Middle Eastern restaurant on the property was excellent. The staff was very friendly and helpful and spoke English really well.

Amazing location - would stay here again for sure, stunning hotel, really clean ! The staff were super helpful, offered to arrange tickets for tiananmen square/forbidden city, let us keep our suitcases while we went to the great wall. Would recommend Mr Shi's dumplings down the road
i liked everything, maybe the breakfast could be a bit more exciting?

The place is lovely but with too many stairs and narrow paths ways, it’s a bit harder for older guests (70,80’s). The hotel staff are very friendly and helpful! Overall, we had a pleasant time!

The staff went above and beyond making my stay enjoyable and accommodating any requests. I had to make a sudden change to my itinerary and add an extra nights stay in Beijing, which they quickly be happily accommodated. The room and amenities were also absolutely gorgeous. Overall, I absolutely recommend! This hotel was one of the highlights of my trip.

The location is great, buried in the hutongs in the shadow of the Bell Tower but away from Bell Tower craziness. There are lots of interesting bars and restaurants around and the Metro is very convenient. The middle-Eastern style breakfasts are a big plus and a major feature of why the hotel is attractive. The onsite bakery is excellent too. We were upgraded to a bigger room with a kitchen area with on tap drinking water, which is unusual and great. Underfloor heating and an actual bath in the bathroom were appreciated too. The towels were great.
The upgrade was to a loft apartment, which was a mistake for us. The mattress (not particularly comfortable) was on the floor and up stairs from the bathroom, not ideal for guests who are no longer young enough to scramble in and out of bed easily. The living space had a small sofa but no other comfortable chair (although there was plenty room for one) so we were rather awkwardly perched side by side. The small kitchenette had dishes and glasses but no cloths or towels so keeping them clean and it tidy was a challenge. The room had large windows but looked directly onto the courtyard so we had to keep the blinds down which made it rather gloomy. The main issue is the 5 star price in the absence of 5 star amenities. Pity. I stayed here once before when the prices were half what they are now, and would say that was good value. In my opinion it no longer is.

A little “hideout” place perfectly located in the center of the most happening area in Beijing. Offers a very different experience from the typical hotel suites. A chance to blend in with the locals, explore the hidden jewels (I.e. Puzzle, Beef noodles house nearby), and play with the hotel cats. Breakfast and coffee lovers are in luck, food is delicious.
Room is a bit small but very compact. Nothing unexpected.

We had a really wonderful stay at the Orchid. The hotel is beautiful - a stylishly restored courtyard house. What really made the stay special was 1) the incredibly helpful staff who were always there to assist with booking attractions and travel and to advise on how to get the most out of Beijing; and 2) the hotel's location in the quiet hutongs near the Drum tower, within walking distance of the Shichahai lakes, with lots of restaurants and shops nearby. Both the Western and Chinese breakfast options were excellent, and we really appreciated little touches like the welcome tea, the map with (excellent!) recommendations for restaurants nearby which was very useful, and the little gift on check out. We hope to visit Beijing again and would definitely stay at the Orchid.

Amazing little hotel near the drum and bell tower. The stuff where more than amazing, all of them. They even teach me how to play Mahjong. If I ever come back I will definitely return here.

Loved the location in the old part of Beijing. This was a very different experience from being in a modern high rise hotel that one could experience in any large city. Walking through the narrow streets and alleyways was a walk back into history but also showed a way of life for the residents who live there today. The Orchid has upgraded it’s accommodations for guests while still retaining the feel of being in the hutong. The staff was personable, welcoming and very accommodating. Thank you to all! I loved my stay at The Orchid and hope to return!
