"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. "

LiveFortuna Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"Room was good size as was bathroom, main asset of hotel is definitely the infinity pool with amazing views! Breakfast selection is huge, but dinner at the restaurant is hidden gem and incredible! Staff are super helpful and friendly. Only slight downside is closet underground station is a 15/20min walk, after long day of sightseeing it was a killer 😆."
