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.

有皮影戲看，難得，所有職員工作態度專業。為客解決交通及觀光景點問題。職員英語水平高。唯一是交通不太方便，要步行約15-20分鐘才到地鐵站。

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.

Me encanto la estadia

El hotel es tranquilo y la comida es buena! La localidad es un poco difisil para los taxistas, pero lo encuentran. Nos encanto el poppet show que el hotel tiene y las actividades del hotel son muy buenas. Se puede también conseguir tours desde el hotel a buen precio.

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.

特色酒店但交通頗為不便

酒店由四合院改建，以皮影戲作為主題，充滿了傳統文化色彩。不論是大廳、房間、還是房門牌，也是以皮影戲為設計。而且，逢二、四、六晚上還有皮影戲表演，也有皮影偶的工作坊，可供客人參加。服務員態度和藹，而且英語能力高，很樂意為客人介紹附近的景點和交通。若果打算到后海，又或者感受老北京胡同氣息的話，這酒店便是一個不錯選擇，因為步行不到十分鐘便到達后海，而酒店正正身處胡同之內。可是，也因處於胡同，令交通甚為不便。因為即使打車，不少時候司機也得花了不少時間才能走出狹窄而又多車的胡同。另外，也有司機不願駛進胡同內裡。再加上，酒店位於西城區，到王府井、朝陽區和三里屯等地方，不塞車的話，至少花上20分鐘車程，步行的話要1小時以上。所以，若然是「閒遊」北京，這裡是挺不錯的選擇，否則便要考慮交通情況。最後，由於酒店房間相當有限，只有約10間房間，所以不設"late check out"

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.

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 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!

適合朋友一起旅行

飯店裡環境很不錯，但缺點就是從北海北地鐵站走到飯店的路途有點遠，約要走上8~10分鐘，推著行李箱走在鋪設連鎖磚的人行道上會比較辛苦，房間裡沒有冰箱的設備，接近0度的冬天還可以，夏天買回來的食品飲料會不太好存放，但居住環境不錯且離恭王府很近，有機會還是推薦去居住！
