北京瑞军民俗农家院

After running out of my usual choices to stay in Beijing I happened to come across this one. It's a newer hotel located a bit outside the older hutong areas but still near the heart of Beijing. From the closest subway stop it's about a ten minute walk. The hotel has both private and shared rooms with me and my colleagues getting the private en suites. Rooms are nicely furnished with TV and A/C-Heater units inside. Bathrooms are newly appointed as well with contemporary sinks and toilet. One possible exception to this cute hotel was the shared bathroom for the dorm rooms, it's a Chinese style toilet in a small room with attached shower. It's not a clean restroom all the time. There is a enclosed courtyard in the back area but most everyone stays in the lobby to watch passersby and hang with the staff (there's also a leak problem in the courtyard from the heavy rains). They have a really nice wood lined bar that we used frequently. They also have a great tea selection with a varied amount of beer and alcohol. The staff was friendly and helpful willing to chat at anytime (but some of the staff don't know English so keep that in mind). I also rented a bicycle for an hour (5 yuan); they have three you can choose from. Breakfast was fantastic with European options and fresh fruit, soup, and steamed buns. There's also a restaurant next door that they use as food service for the hotel, it was decent and quick. Free wifi is in the hotel but the device for the rooms was not working properly. A PC terminal is in the lobby for those that don't have mobile devices. We were surprised and delighted by our random find and hope to stay here again. Once travelers discover this place I believe it may be difficult to get reservations in the future.

北京老式四合院，住的非常舒服，环境非常优美，服务人员非常亲切，集现代化设施和古典于一起，人性化的管理，是居住的理想选择

All the members of the staff were really friendly and helpful. There were always at least one person in the reception who spoke some English. We stayed as a family of seven and had three different rooms, one with an extra bed. We had a problem with one of the bathrooms, but this was solved quickly when we contacted the receptionist. Xiaoyuan Hotel is located in a small street with a lot of local shops and restaurants. Still, when sitting at the rooftop terrace in the evening there was no noise from the street. The hotel is located close to the forbidden city, the shopping street Wangfujing, and other central sights. There are a couple of metro stations in walking distance from the hotel. Some taxi drivers didn't know the address of the hotel, so in stead we asked them to drive us to the metro station nearest the hotel. There's a great atmosphere in the hotel as well as in the neighborhood. This, as well as the friendly staff, the central location, and the lovely rooftop terrace, made our stay a great experience.
