Great experience; my wife and I recenty returned from two nights at the Lu Song Yuan. We stayed at the Novotel earlier before we took a side trip to Xi'an. Experiencing the hutong's were the highlight of my trip, and staying in one the last several nights topped it off. Don't expect every detail to be perfect, but I give... more

This B&B was lovely. It was wonderful to wake up in peace, and have somewhere quiet to go at the end of the day after being in the crowds all day long. The food was good enough; however, I don't recommend going at the end of breakfast as it is buffet style. The location was great. We had some problems... more

Charming is the best word to describe Lu Song Yuan. This hotel isn't for you if your expectation is a 4-5 star "western" style hotel with the attached comforts. We recently stayed in Lu Song Yuan for 2 nights and really enjoyed the hotel. The hutong location and atmosphere give a great vibe to the hotel. The staff are exceptionally... more

My Wife and I actualy stayed at the Lu Song Yuan back in March 2002 and loved ever minute of our stay. Our room was better than we had expected as it was roomy and very traditional. Dispite the cold weather, our room was always warm and very comfortable. I still think of this great place almost every day and... more

Very charming and pleasant furnishings. Friendly staff. Great location near local shops. Great pedestrian experiences. more

Just returned from a week's stay. This was our second time staying at the Lusong. Staff is friendly and courteous, rooms are clean and peaceful, bathrooms have been upgraded and the courtyard setting is so restful. Rooms can be small, so ask for 2 twins on a courtyard if possible. A great place to eat is nearby, the PassBy Restaurant,... more

The Lu Song Yuan Hotel might be a bit difficult to find at first, but it's worth the search. It's got charm and it's authentic while the rooms are clean, well-looked after and charming. The price is great, compared to what you get. Our room was rather small (double, for a couple) but I liked it nevertheless. It had a... more

This hotel was a perfect way to experience a very different Beijing from the high-rise hotels downtown. The hotel is decorated beautifully and the rooms are nice. The standard rooms are small and it is well worth paying a little extra to get a room with a courtyard view as they are bigger and more comfortable. There are many cute... more

This hotel is reasonably priced and the location is ok. In a hutong and near the Ghost Street, Drum and Bell Tower And Lama Temple. But a little far to other sites. We agree with the comment about the small cramped room. Wife thought there was black mold in the bathroom( western toilet and nice bathtub) but I am not... more
