Lovely little place but needs some TLC

The hotel grounds are lovely very authentic, the staff dont speak much english so communicaton was difficult but we got there. We had requested 2 rooms next to each other bu tthey were round the corner form each other? and ground floor due to my son have a disability but was given first floor which was suprised because 90% of the rooms were ground floor? but we managed so didnt bother complaining. The rooms were dirty and smelly, they really need a good freshen up, but they had air con, beds were made every day and fresh water was supplied every day. We didnt use the restaurant so i cannot comment on that. The hotel is based in a huntong just off a main road. The road had a subway which took you to every where and anywhere and was the cleanist and most efficant subway i have ever used, the road also had shops, restaurants, macdonalds and was local to the bell tower. Overall was a lovely place just needs some TLC on the rooms.

Not what you see on Expedia's photos

We booked this hotel because it had a great location and a good price. Arriving at the hotel the staff gave us a super small room (only one person can walk by it's side between the bed and the wall) all the paper wall was falling, humidity everywhere, and the most important thing is that it doesn't match the photo that we saw at Expedia while reserving, nothing to do with it. We had to pay more for another room and it was almost in the same conditions, so we had to ask for another room and pay more than planned, so we could get a "normal" room. But even after paying more the room had the wall paper falling too, and the smell of humidity was less, but still strong. The hotel in general is very nice, but they don't take care of it and it looked really bad, like if they don't care about it. The staff terrible. We asked them to help us getting a taxi (it's a basic thing that any hotel can do) but they say "NO". One of us speaks Chinese, so there was no confusion with the language, they just said "No".

Good location, but old facility

Next to the subway station. Great location (walkable) to Shishahai area - where the night clubs, Prince Gong's palace and many other tourist destinations. The room looks very old and the house keeping didn't do a great job - there was an old underwear in the corner under the seats in my room... Quite gross.

Solux not very lux

Stayed at the hotel for four nights. In a king room (very small), the condition of the room was pretty poor. the walls were crumbling at the bottom due to wear and mold. we had problems with the toilet almost every day. The hotel staff was unhelpful. we asked for help getting around the area and trying resolve some travel issues and they would just say no. The site said they staff was multi lingual, but almost all did not understand English. The rooms were also court yard style which in pictures looks amazing but most of the other guest would let their children run around starting at 7:30 AM which was very disruptive.

Nice Location but dirty floor

Stayed for 4 nights. Very nice location and just 2 mins walk to subway station. And located in a quite small street. Actually, the hotel is transformed from Temples with very nice Chinese traditional decoration. Housekeeping only change towels and tidy the bed only. The carpet floor is very dirty and seems not vacuum for a long time. Better bring along your slippers as hotel do not supply slipper.

About as good as you can get

If you're a college/graduate student and you're just traveling by yourself or with some friends, this is probably the kind of place you'll be okay with, especially at this price. Nothing outrageously terrible happened during my stay at this place; it was, in general, pleasant. I wasn't expecting much for a cheap hotel which is decently connected to the main attractions in Beijing, so I was quite surprised by the level of comfort afforded by the Soluxe. Again, you're not going to get what you would normally associate with "four stars" if you were raised in the U S of A like I was. But if you remember to bring your shower shoes and your own toiletries you can get the hotel selection out of the way and just go back to planning the rest of your trip.

Not sure if we got a good deal...

This hotel was in a pretty rugged neighborhood. Not dangerous, just sort of on the raggedy edge of dangerous. The buildings themselves were cool and in decent shape, dating from the 1400s if you believe the plaques on them. The beds were like 4x8 sheets of plywood. We had to get extra blankets and comforters and create a decent cushion on top of the beds. The towels, while clean, bordered on threadbare. We were looking for something with a local flavor rather than going with to a Hyatt or Westin. We got it. Be careful what you wish for. Would not stay there again.

Overpriced hotel

Pro: quiet and safe place, very close to metro, in a walking distance from downtown attractions. By the way you can observe hutongs around the hotel. Many places to eat local and international food around. Rather good wifi (better than in some more expensive hotels in Beijing). Linen, towels and bathroom facilities are clean. The teapot and hairdrier are provided (as generally in every Chinese hotel). The staff speak English. Contra: The sockets do not always hold the plugs, the wallpaper comes off. The floor is dirty in some places. The bathroom has only a shower with a curtain and two holes in the floor, thus all the floor around becomes wet. The hotel was overpriced (don't pay more than $40 for a single room)

great hotel for vacation

This hotel turned out to be a nice surprise! It's very close to the subway station (about 1 minute walk), which makes our travel to every destination super convenient and easy! It's located in the old part of Beijing where there are a lot of traditional looking houses, the hotel itself is located in the house of an ancient official from more than 200 years ago, the house is very well maintained, has a beautiful garden, is very quiet and clean, looks as nice as all the pictures on Expedia's web site. The price is very reasonable too. We especially were impressed by all the friendly and knowledgable staff. Highly recommend this hotel to any one visiting Beijing!

Some boxes ticked, but not all......

Chose the hotel for it's style and location, near a metro station and in a hutong. Yes the map is wrong ( take note Hotels.com ), but once found is convenient to lots of street food and cafes. Note, that these are not open early,so you'll need to suffer the hotel stodge - high on carbs, but very low on greens, meats and imagination. My major problem was in booking in when they wanted to put me in the most miserable, dank, windowless room in the joint. They seemed to have issues with booking from Hotels.com ( lost or too much commission, they weren't saying...) so I had a slight disagreement with them. Given it was about 20% full they could have upgraded me. This is not the 1st time this has happened in China. The fools then tried to sell me local tour packages the next day - not likely sunshine! NOTE TO HOTEL MANAGEMENT clients who book on-line are very savvy and CHOOSE your hotel, so treat us with a bit more respect. Yes, the rooms were clean, and cleaned every day. And yes, if I paid more for a Courtyard room, I might have had a happier experience.

Very Nice hotel

The Hotel is located just 1 and half blocks from Guloudajie Metro Station (鼓楼大街), which is very convinient if you're planning on using the subway often. The hotel staff was very friendly and the service was good. It is close to Houhai Lake, a very popular hangout area for tourist and locals. The only complaint I have is in the bathroom. The bathroom doesn't have a bathtub or a closed off area for a shower. When you take a shower everything becomes wet. The hotel its self is very charming and has a beautiful courtyard garden that would be great for relaxing afternoon with a book.

Perfect location and beautiful traditional hotel

As traditional Chinese hotels go this is a winner. The rooms are not quite up to western standards and the staffs English is minimal, but by Chinese standards it is fantastic. It has western toilets, nice rooms with water pressure, etc. It's greatest features are: it's quite off road location, yet it is still a very short walk to the nearest subway station, and the beauty of the hotel with it's lovely courtyard garden and colorful birds. Even though the area was under major construction for a new subway line this hotel was still quite. We loved it, especially at the price.

Beautiful hotel, but beds not like U.S. beds!

My wife and I had only five nights in Beijing, so our son, who had spent 4 months touring China suggested a hutong hotel in Beijing to get a non=chain feel for China. The Soluxe Courtyard is on a hutong (we would call it an alley) in NW Beijing, just a block from a stop on the ultramodern Beijing subway. Plain from the outside, but absolutely gorgeous inside with a landscaped courtyard, gaily painted atrium ceiling, koi pond, songbirds in cages, and staff in traditional Chinese clothing. Double room had carved wooden furniture and a very large bathroom (shower only). However, the bed had no mattress, just padded springs. Not exactly a pillow-top Sealy Posturepedic!
