The Orchid is every bit as good as its reviews. The location is excellent, rooms are very comfortable (great beds, Apple TV etc), breakfasts are delcious and the staff are everso helpful, going out of their way to assist in any way possible- taxis, restaurant recommendations, train tickets, show tickets. It was so good there that we extended our stay... More

Really central little hotel hidden away in the Hutong. Great breakfast included, incredibly helpful, friendly staff (the owner went out of his way to help us buy a local cell phone), comfortable beds, Apple TV, very neat and clean.... Nothing not to like! Just sad we couldn't afford to stay longer. More

We really enjoyed our stay at the Orchid. It’s the perfect spot for those who want to enjoy an authentic Beijing experience in an old area of the city, without compromising on home comforts like the great and various breakfast and wonderful hot shower – very welcome after a humid day’s walking around temples! We had a quaint loft style... More

We stayed at the Orchid based on the reviews and i must say it is as good as everyone say. From the first day on arrival to the check out the service was impressive. The staff (Raphaelle and Sophia in particular) are very knowledgeable and get out of their way to make you feel welcome. We also loved the comfy... More

We booked the Orchid months in advance as it got good reviews on tripadvisor. The map and instructions off their website were very useful as otherwise it would be impossible to find. The hotel is hidden behind a restaurant down a little alley (just as they described). Inside the hotel it was very new and clean, with lots of character.... More

My wife and I stayed here for two nights, mostly having read the many positive reviews on Trip Advisor. As the hotel's own literature says, finding The Orchid is 'part of the fun'. It can be a little difficult as the entrance is at the end of a passageway leading off a partially redeveloped hutong. The passageway itself is littered... More

The Orchid is in a fabulous location - despite reading Trip Advisor concerns about finding this hotel - the staff are great, the breakfast (included in our tariff) excellent, and the facilities very good. The only problems we had were the much vaunted Apple TV network which stopped working on our second night - and the staff couldn't fix it... More

This was a great place to stay, service was wonderful. Everyone spoke English and a nice place to eat if you don't want to go out. A little out of the way but I liked being away from the busy streets. Attractions close by, just overall a wonderful little hotel, i will be back again on my next trip to... More

The Orchid unashamedly caters for the adventurous traveller (based in a Hutong) but who would still like their western comforts. Luckily, that would be us! All the positives others have mentioned are true. Baochao Hutong is a great lively spot full of friendly locals who just get on with their lives (contrasted with people who make a living trying to...
