Awesome Shichachai Shadow Art Performance Hotel
A perfect little gem of a hotel right in the centre of the hutongs. Very clean and welcoming with superb service from their staff (who speak English). The hotel is like a little museum to Chinese shadow art with so much information, examples and a library. An added bonus was the actual shadow art performance and demonstration by the puppeteer.

Loved the ambience
We absolutely loved the ambience, decoration and the overall vibe of the hotel. The shadow art theme is all over the lobby, main area and in each room and are all done very well, the shadow puppet play was lovely and the staff very helpful and attentive. Rooms are a bit on the small side but this was more than clear when we made our booking so it was not an issue at all. The location is in the Hutong, but it is easily accessible and less than a 10 minute walk to the lakes or the subway station. The information we received before arrival, the notes from the staff at the reception and in our room were very well prepared and would be very helpful to those traveling to Beijing for the first time.

We had the misfortune to arrive in Beijing during the coronavirus outbreak and the staff could not have been more helpful. They allowed us to cancel without charges. The hotel is situated in the historic hutongs and beautifully decorated in traditional style. We were so sorry we could not stay longer.

Good sized room, bed and bathroom, in a hotel which is positioned within the hutong’s. Walking distance to plenty of places to eat and drink, with Houhai Park having a good selection of bars and public transport about 10 minutes walk away. Small but satisfying selection for breakfast, but much of it was not hot. Overall not bad.

This is a great little hotel! While it is a decent walk from the metro, it offers everything you need. The staff was very friendly and helpful, the breakfast was good, the rooms were clean, and the atmosphere was quaint. It felt like home! I would definitely stay here again.

A delightful cultural experience
A delightful experience. Not only is the Puppet show professional, but you are surrounded by the Hutongs at this hotel. The rooms are clean and neat and best of all, the staff is so kind and helpful. I would stay there again. Be sure to take a pedi ride around the lake.

I was first reluctant to stay in a hotel in this area...the hutongs...but the hutongs ended up being my favorite area in all of Beijing and this hotel is right in the middle of the hutongs and very near Houhai Lake. Houhai Lake is possibly the neatest area in all of Beijing. So...location of the hotel is an A The room itself was great. Clean, comfortable, and small enough to be personable. Overall great place and very professional. So...cleanliness of the room and comfort of the room is an A Amenities of the hotel were great. Free water, coffee, tea in the room and often outside in the lobby. Free breakfast that is very good. Free shadow puppet show, which is amazing and I am shocked that it is free. You get to see two shows and you can talk to the puppeteers after and see how it is done. So...amenities gets an A Staff is by far the greatest part of this hotel. The staff holds the place together. They are so nice and so helpful. They can speak english for the most part and the few that cannot have translator apps. They will call taxis, answer messages for excursions and help you in any way they can. Shout out to ELEANOR! This girl was amazing. She helped us throughout our stay...weighs about 80 pounds and refused to allow me to carry my own bags. She wanted to carry them. I have traveled to many places and stayed at many hotels, and this was the best...especially Eleanor. Staff is A Overall A

I cannot say enough good things about this hotel! The location is wonderful, just a short walk from a subway line making it a great place to call home while exploring Beijing. The rooms are comfortable and have all the amenities you need. The shadow box performance is such a great thing to experience and the staff go above and beyond to ensure you have a great stay. I would absolutely recommend this hotel if you are staying in Beijing!

Basic accommodation
The hotel is in a Hutong area which means it is down a small lane way. The common lounge area is OK but our room was very basic and the bed was terrible. The hotel is very noisy when people walk the passage way and you can hear every door slam. The staff are all young and a little pushy wanting you to book their tours. I suggest they go and check room 206 to see how bad the bed is. The area is OK once you get use to the Hutongs. It is actually safe at night walking down a dark alley.

I liked the location and the staff were very friendly, the only downside is the cleanliness, they don’t do very good on the cleaning. They cleaned the room clean but they missed some small details. so I would give a cleanliness rating of 6 or 7 out of 10 .
