Excellent stay. We stayed here 4 nights in Sep 2025. Room (The Orchid Loft Suite #68) was ok and fairly spacious. The bed is however in the loft (higher area) where you need to take small flight of stairs. Therefore can be quite warm as it’s on the higher area (make sure adjust air con to lower temperature). There’s also living area with sofa and tv. There’s filtered water and fridge and pour over/drip coffee maker. Breakfast was good (both Chinese and western) The hotel is in charming Hutong area. There’s few bars/cafes around the area.

Spent two nights at The Orchid in September 2025, and it was perfect. The staff were all wonderful. Checkin was a breeze with full explanation of the facilities. We had two early morning starts (before breakfast options were opened) and we were offered/supplied with breakfast to take with us. A great stay in a nice old area of Beijing. The staff we dealt with at the front desk made it all the more enjoyable. Highly recommend staying at The Orchid.

Staying at the Orchid Hotel has been the highlight of my trip to Beijing. The hotel is neatly tucked away in a very quiet part of the Hutong not far from the historic Drum Tower (can be seen from the hotel’s rooftop). Many landmarks, restaurants, bars, and shops are conveniently located nearby and can be explored by foot — my preferred option. In terms of the space, the hotel’s interior has been carefully designed to preserve the characteristics of the very historic neighborhood while adding a bit of modern aesthetics. Finally, I very much enjoyed interacting with the staff, who were very friendly and eager to share the real Beijing experience with the guests

If you are looking for the tasteless and soulless place, this is wrong place. This little hotel has a heart, its own identity. The members of the staff are incredibly welcoming, polite, and professional. The rooms are clean and thoughtful. The rooftop cafe has a nice breakfast menu; being situated at the rooftop gives you a nice breath of fresh air in the morning. I enjoyed every minute of my stay!
