At the heart of high-end bustling shopping district, the opposite house is an oasis. Just like all other Kengo Kuma designs, every corner is a piece of art. The receptionists are so friendly and helpful - they checked us in quickly and even brought us to the room with a nice room tour. The Sanlitun area is full of great eats and shops, so you won’t be bored.

It’s k, but not the best for the price.
This hotel its fine. But honestly, for the price, I was expecting much more. The rooms are just very regular rooms, in fact some of the stuff is quite old, my room had some almost broken shelf doors.

I have stayed at many many hotels around the world, and Opposite is one of my favorites. The rooms are amazing, location is perfect, and the people are friendly. The bar makes unbelievable cocktails. I felt like leaving a family when I checked out. Highly recommend.

Decided to give this place a try, since I love the Upper House in HK. Check-in was smooth, and staff all around were nice and accommodating. Very good location near restaurants, shopping and embassies. The studio 95, has a strange layout. It was just a long space. The floors were old and uneven. The room smelled like a public toilet. So we had to change rooms. Next room had a terrace and much better layout. The problems: waited all night to watch World Cup, only to find that the channel for it was not working!! All the channels were fine, but not the sports channel!! The room above or below were having loud sex all night, it was scary. Then, the noise from the road, constant honking. The walls on this hotel are THIN. Bed was uncomfortably hard. I really wanted to like this place but I’ll never return. It’s more of a 3-4 Star.

Perfect location if you enjoy modern china, do not expect tradition in this car free zone with high end luxury shops for international brands. Hotel room was large and clean, very zen. Bfast was OK. Staff and concierge were very helpful although they haven't acknowledge yet the fact that the western high-end traveler may sometime expect simple tips on local joints and budget tours.

Terrible Experience
The hotel basically doesn't provide any kinds of services. Quote what the hotel says "This is a kind of very different hotel, they don't emphasize on hotel service, but they are more on the design of the room. Which I found it is hilarious, for the same price, you can easily find a place in Beijing where the service is much better, and design is much more comfortable and fancy.

A very modern well designed hotel with great modern rooms with warm wood paneling, a wooden bath tub to accompany the shower, a large indoor swimming pool and gym, professional staff and located in the middle of one of Beijing's major shopping facilities and across from the famous Bar Street. I strongly recommend this hotel for business and holidays while visiting Beijing.

One of the best hotels in the world
This is one of the best hotel stays I've had in Beijing... in fact it's one of the best hotels I've stayed in the world. I've come to Beijing many times but it's my first time staying at the Opposite House. The room is luxuriously spacious... it's literally like a spa with a beautiful bathtub and shower. The service of the hotel is excellent but subtle and private. You know it's a fabulous hotel when you don't want to leave your room... and you want to stay longer. It's a real treat to be here.

Outstanding Hotel
We are extremely well traveled and have stayed in some really nice properties and Opposite House is top of the list for incredible customer service, excellent rooms and superb food. We stayed 5 nights and we would have happily stayed longer. In addition to the fantastic staff and great property, the hotel is situated in one of the best neighborhoods in Beijing in the midst of top end shopping district, anything you could want is nearby. Highly recommended!!

Perfect hotel perfect stay
This is my first time staying at Opposite House in Beijing. It is a chic hotel with a modern design. I like their chinese restaurant very much - ordered a roast duck, local cold dishes and lamb skewers, all of them were delicious. Location is perfect for us and you can find a lot of restaurants nearby plus bars. Services? We enjoyed their service very much, everyone is friendly and helpful. We did not have a local number and after check out we still did not see our airport limousine arrive so a staff member helped us out to call the driver and make sure we got in the car in the end. Highly recommend this hotel to everyone.

An aged property in need of TLC.
I expected a lot more from this hotel. I have stayed at the Upoer House in HK and the staff, amenities and overall service experienced is far superior. The hotel has aged, I Love minimalism but the room was way too sparse and cold feeling. Walls with scuff marks, furniture chipped, wires out of place, etc. The area is under construction, that should be clearly stated whennyiubarebmaking a reservation, not jive to find a letter in your room after check in or being awakened by concrete drills.

Best chic boutique hotel in Beijing located in the trendy Sanlitun area, very convenient & close to amenities. Hotel property is well maintained, rooms are clean, equipped adequately. Staff are well trained, professional and helpful. Restaurants offers good variety of food, my favorite the Sureno also offers wide selection of quality wines.

Great Staycation in BJ
This trip was a brief one to escape BJ's craziness over the national holidays. Perfect plan! The rooms are spacious and comfortable, with impressive wooden baths. The staff is attentive and helpful. The personal touches of notes and cookies in the room were warming and much appreciated. Loved chilling with some drinks in Mesh! The gym is a little small but it is in good order and was fine for a quick workout.

Average
Opposite House is getting older. It used to be in its prime 7 years ago. Now rooms for refurbishment need. Furthermore severe cinstruction going on directly next to the hotel which lasted way until mid-nights and not only 10pm. Do hope this is rather temporary but was never communicated prior to the stay.
