We stayed for a week in February 2012, visiting student son studying at BNU. We were told that Beijing would be cold in February - and it was - and we were tourists, spending large chunks of time outside getting cold. Michael's House was a complete delight as it was warm, spacious, friendly, close to son's apartment, wi-fi connected and... More

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here, and wish we'd stayed on our second visit to Beijing - but there wasn't availability. We wanted to stay in traditional type accommodation, and this place delivered. The service was excellent! Our flight was delayed an hour, and we arrived at the hotel about 2am - and the staff were still there waiting for... More

The hotel is very cozy and the location is in a neighborhood that allows you to see the local culture. The information provided by the hotel reps (Specially Amy who is very professional and knowledgeable) is the best of all. They are always willing to help and give you excellent tips to navigate the city. The hotel provide tours at... More

After a rocky start to the holiday (mistake with our booking meant for some first night issues with getting into our room), Michael's House did everything to make our stay memorable. Our room was gorgeous and full of character, the staff were so friendly and helpful (cleaning baby's bottles, drawing us maps of where we wanted to visit etc). Michael... More

I booked this hotel because of the great reviews at tripadvisor and booking.com. Also, I think staying at a old Chinese hutong style hotel can be a great experience for a trip to Beijing. After consider the value and location, I picked Michael's House. I atayed for 3 nights in March. Overall, it is a great hotel, but still some... More

It's hard to give this place 3 stars instead of 4 because the people who work there are so nice and helpful but, out of duty to my fellow travelers, I must speak the truth:) I Liked: the hutong neighborhood was charming for the first day or so and then its charm wore off quickly, the staff are as helpful...

Michael's House is a delightful little hotel, tucked away in one of the original hutongs (alleyways) where the real people live. A short walk to the end of the street and you are immersed in the culture. From the moment we arrived to the moment we left, we felt like part of the family! Great breakfast - cereal, toast, eggs,...

We spent 5 days at Michaels Hotel and really enjoyed it. It's a friendly place in a fairly traditional area of Beijing so you will see something closer to "the real thing" than you would see in a city centre mega-hotel. Our first impression was that it was rather dark: traditional rooms don't have much in the way of external... More

We stayed here for one Month, with a five year old child, and loved it! small inn, a little boutique, with great staff. very personal. comfortable beds-not easy to find in China. the best part-lovely, comfortable, covered courtyard! like an extension of your living room. it's Really hard to find nice, clean, cozy hangouts in beijing. at this inn, you've...
