We enjoyed our stay but had some problems when we wanted to organise taxis or other things as the staff had little or no English. It was a lovely place in a delightfully quiet coutyard considering how central it was. We would stay there again as everything else was of a very high standard and at a good price. The Princess's palace and the surrounding areas were fascinating and we enjoyed walking and finding places to eat and discovered some delightful small temples and local restaurants in the Hutongs.
