Wang's Shadow Art Performance Hotel

Clean hotel with friendly personnel. I met 晖晖 on my first day and she also served me when I left. She's friendly and keen to share about the area when I asked. My only reservation is that the hotel is quite far away and is deep in a narrow quiet road. While I've never felt unsafe, I don't enjoy walking back at night, especially in the autumn when it's dark by 5+.

Hotel staff are very nice and helpful before, during and after stay. Best part of the stay is the Shadow puppetry show and sharing on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday(s). The hotel is located in a hutong, which may be a walk from the main street and train station but it is nice to be amongst the locals and hutong as they go about their daily lives. Location is conveniently located around the central tourists spots but yet quiet, peaceful and reasonably priced.

Excellent team at the hotel who were extremely helpful and kind. Nice and spacious rooms and highly recommend the Shadow art show.

Nice boutique hotel in the Hutongs. Room was nice and comfortable and it was nice having the coffee machine in the lobby. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Limited English but we had no problems at all. Wish it was slightly closer to metro, but the location near Shichahai and the lake was nice. Bell and Drum Towers were only a 2 minute walk away. Only complaint is that we had a lot of cigarette smoke coming into our room one of the nights.

I had an unforgettable experience staying in this hotel, steeped in Chinese culture. The staff, especially Er Jie, Mia, Tom, Xuan Xuan, and Chris, were incredibly helpful and friendly. Thanks again for the opportunity to create our own bookmarks with calfskin. I thoroughly enjoyed watching the shadow show as well! The hotel's location is perfect, Gong Wang Fu and Hou Hai are also within the walking distance. I loved exploring the charming traditional alleyways (hutongs) of Beijing. I'll definitely be returning!

The staffs are very helpful and there are water refilling station, coffee machine, teas, candies/snacks available in the lobby. There is a free shadow puppet show every tues, thurs and sat and the show is amazing! After the show, the master will show the audience how the puppets are being made and how they are moving. The bedroom is average. There are insects on my side of the bed. Not sure if it is because it is near the window. I'm also a light sleeper so the noise proofing is not really good as I can hear the children playing in the hallway so better have earplugs to block the noise. Location was a little hard as it is in a hutong and there are no food stores nearby when you walk out of the hotel. The nearest train station is maybe 10 to 15 mins by foot. Since the hotel is in a hutong, the streets are really narrow only allowing one lane of car to pass by as the other lane is occupied by parked cars. It was hard to take taxi.
