Awesome Shichachai Shadow Art Performance Hotel
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.

Loved the ambience
We absolutely loved the ambience, decoration and the overall vibe of the hotel. The shadow art theme is all over the lobby, main area and in each room and are all done very well, the shadow puppet play was lovely and the staff very helpful and attentive. Rooms are a bit on the small side but this was more than clear when we made our booking so it was not an issue at all. The location is in the Hutong, but it is easily accessible and less than a 10 minute walk to the lakes or the subway station. The information we received before arrival, the notes from the staff at the reception and in our room were very well prepared and would be very helpful to those traveling to Beijing for the first time.

Mike, Shrewsbury, UK

We had the misfortune to arrive in Beijing during the coronavirus outbreak and the staff could not have been more helpful. They allowed us to cancel without charges. The hotel is situated in the historic hutongs and beautifully decorated in traditional style. We were so sorry we could not stay longer.

有皮影戲看,難得,所有職員工作態度專業。為客解決交通及觀光景點問題。職員英語水平高。唯一是交通不太方便,要步行約15-20分鐘才到地鐵站。

Good sized room, bed and bathroom, in a hotel which is positioned within the hutong’s. Walking distance to plenty of places to eat and drink, with Houhai Park having a good selection of bars and public transport about 10 minutes walk away. Small but satisfying selection for breakfast, but much of it was not hot. Overall not bad.

Me encanto la estadia
El hotel es tranquilo y la comida es buena! La localidad es un poco difisil para los taxistas, pero lo encuentran. Nos encanto el poppet show que el hotel tiene y las actividades del hotel son muy buenas. Se puede también conseguir tours desde el hotel a buen precio.

This place has shadow art shows on Tu, Thur, and Sat. The staff is really nice and helpful, for example, David is one of the staff who helped me a lot. Definitely recommend this place if you want to experience Beijing culture.

This is a great little hotel! While it is a decent walk from the metro, it offers everything you need. The staff was very friendly and helpful, the breakfast was good, the rooms were clean, and the atmosphere was quaint. It felt like home! I would definitely stay here again.

A delightful cultural experience
A delightful experience. Not only is the Puppet show professional, but you are surrounded by the Hutongs at this hotel. The rooms are clean and neat and best of all, the staff is so kind and helpful. I would stay there again. Be sure to take a pedi ride around the lake.

特色酒店 但交通頗為不便
酒店由四合院改建,以皮影戲作為主題,充滿了傳統文化色彩。不論是大廳、房間、還是房門牌,也是以皮影戲為設計。而且,逢二、四、六晚上還有皮影戲表演,也有皮影偶的工作坊,可供客人參加。服務員態度和藹,而且英語能力高,很樂意為客人介紹附近的景點和交通。若果打算到后海,又或者感受老北京胡同氣息的話,這酒店便是一個不錯選擇,因為步行不到十分鐘便到達后海,而酒店正正身處胡同之內。可是,也因處於胡同,令交通甚為不便。因為即使打車,不少時候司機也得花了不少時間才能走出狹窄而又多車的胡同。另外,也有司機不願駛進胡同內裡。再加上,酒店位於西城區,到王府井、朝陽區和三里屯等地方,不塞車的話,至少花上20分鐘車程,步行的話要1小時以上。所以,若然是「閒遊」北京,這裡是挺不錯的選擇,否則便要考慮交通情況。最後,由於酒店房間相當有限,只有約10間房間,所以不設"late check out"
單人房的浴室沒有浴缸,2樓的有數間雙人房則有設置
單人房大床由兩張大床合拼,舒適度普通,而且只有窗架沒有窗,有侷促的感覺
酒店大廳具特色,而且光線充足
酒店內放置了很多皮影戲擺設
