Wonderful location in a hutong, excellent walking experiences in all directions. Reasonably close to the Forbidden City, Beihai Park, etc. Rooms are on the small side but homey and comfortable, several charming courtyards. Dining room is very good. Staff is okay with English. more

Queitly situated in a hutong itself it is a good base for exploring local hutongs and also walking to places like Confucius Temple, Beihai Park and even Forbidden City. Room simple and a little on the small side, but very clean and comfortable. There may be 'better' accommodation in modern tourist-trap hotels, but the atmosphere here is great. Reasonable English... more

I really recommend this hotel to whoever wants to experience a traditional beijinese house without making compromise on cleaness and only a little on comfort. Our travel agency booked the cheapest rooms. This should really be avoided (both the agency and these rooms). Comments: 1/ General - Very good personnel. Evenso this is generaly the case in China.

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

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
