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.

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.

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.

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.

Basic accommodation

The hotel is in a Hutong area which means it is down a small lane way. The common lounge area is OK but our room was very basic and the bed was terrible. The hotel is very noisy when people walk the passage way and you can hear every door slam. The staff are all young and a little pushy wanting you to book their tours. I suggest they go and check room 206 to see how bad the bed is. The area is OK once you get use to the Hutongs. It is actually safe at night walking down a dark alley.
