SSAW Garden Hotel Beijing

The hotel location is great. The room was spacious, including the shower room. Outside deliveries are done directly to the room using a robot, which is very convenient.

It's easy for a taxi/didi to drop off at the entrance, but the hutong is a one-way street and gets narrower and narrower, making it a real challenge to leave the hotel. Also, the entrance and between the checkin desk and the elevator, there are unavoidable stairs, making it a challenge if with heavy luggages.

Great location in the heart of Beijing, friendly and attentive staff members, snack and drink stations on each floor that is free to grab as you come and go.

Entrance is in a narrow valley so not very convenient for car/taxi pick up.

The staff were very nice and helpful. Nice common area with free snacks and drink. Location is convenient although we do have to navigate through a long crowded street to get to Guijie and the subway station.

I really don’t want to say anything negative about this place because the staff were so nice. But I do need to mention one thing which is the sewage smell in the hallways especially at night time. The laundry room probably smell the worst. I understand it is an old building. But it did bother me a little while we were there.

Very well located, clean hotel with attentive staff.

The hotel is very nice, clean, comfortable and well located. All the staff was nice and helpful, we felt very welcome there. The breakfast buffet is amazing with a lot of Chinese cuisine choices, which is very enjoyable. The room was comfortable and clean.the area is as Chinese as it gets, in a hutong, close to lama temple and ghost street. We recommend it!

The staff was extremely friendly, the location was great and the breakfast was superb, really worth it in case you’re considering getting it. Highly recommend the stay hers, the hotel is super pretty, you get free coffee and local snacks all the time and the location is in the main neighborhood in Beijing.

Nothing, all great

The property rated 5 star but in fact it is 1 star hotel. So it was a fake description in booking. Location is in very bad place. Old and tight roads. Not recommended at all

I studied architecture at Tsinghua University. So when I discovered this hotel was designed by Liang Si Cheng 梁思成，it is a no brainer. If you would like to experience a piece of Chinese architecture, stay here. The roof, the brick, the characters. I also saw Liang’s hand drawing of the most ancient Chinese buildings displayed here as well as its building model.Besides its Chinese architecture characters, fantastic locations to so many restaurants in 簋街，railway station, also within a Hutong cultural precinct, within the second ring road, easy access to Forbidden city, Beihai park, etc.Nina at the reception is also excellent.I ended up staying 15 nights with my wife and children here.

Free water and drinks. Welcome fruit tray and berry juice in your room. Rooms are very small but mighty. Every floor has a lounge area to relax, free water, soft drinks, and snacks.

I regret doing the dress up and photography service linked to the hotel. They took us to a very crowded location for pictures, while the photographer did not do a good job with the pictures.

The property is very clean. Location is walkable to many popular spot. The receptionist are very welcoming especially the one helped me Sam.

Very clean Great location Lovely friendly staff Lovely rooms

Great location Lovely helpful staffClean modern rooms Great choice of breakfast Great all round

The SSAW Garden was a great place to use as a base for exploring Beijing. The staff was excellent and was always willing to help. They knew a little English, not a lot, but Google translate works well. The rooms look small online, and they are relatively small, but I actually liked the room. It is fully automated which made everything easy. The heated toilet seat was also nice. There are many restaurants within walking distance. The restaurant in the hotel is excellent, but expensive. We loved the restaurant on the corner closest to the hotel at the end of the alley. The breakfast was good, not great. We liked the French toast. I would strongly recommend this hotel.

Very charming and Technological. We loved every detailAlso, they offered a free upgrade and/or an extra mattress

No dinner at the restaurant at night. Not that we missed it out, but sometimes it feels confottable to be able to order room service.

Location

It’s dirty. I smells sewers in the bathroom, then all the room smells the same once we open the door.

The hotel was well decorated in a modern contemporary Chinese style. The front staff were helpful, though some of them did not speak the language, it wasn't only a minor problem. The room, though not that spacious, was well designed and well-equipped. It was very clean and new. Breakfast was great too.

Perhaps, bilingual staff at the front could have made it 10 out of 10.

The room was neat and clean. The hotel itself was so pretty outside as well as their interior. All their staffs very helpful and attentive. My room was very hot on the first night(with no window), requested to change the room the next day. They gave me bigger room with window so I can open during nighttime(it was winter and the AC mode fixed on heater mode only)

The air conditioning unit system cannot be adjusted its mode as I wish. I was sweating on the first night, tried to adjust the mode to cold but system cannot be override.

It’s clean and quiet. Joe was especially friendly can catered to our needs as we are still waiting for our night transport back to the airport.

The front porch as it’s too small for cars to make a U-turn and street is too narrow.

The room and that is very clean.

The location is strange, it’s located inside a Houtong and during the night looks quite dangerous because there are not public light at all.

Breakfast was good. Staffs were helpful.

Location is pretty far to subway. Traffic is bad at the main road before turning into the lane which the hotel is located. No fridge!No mirror outside bath room which I find very inconvenient if you are sharing a room.No air-conditioning at this time of the year. So I had to sleep with window opened with noise coming into from outside.

The location is great and the hotel has good bones. The breakfast was varied. Staff were friendly and everything was very clean

This used to be a nice old hotel. It needed updating but the renovation has not been done well. The stairs up to the entrance and from the lobby to the lift area are very inconvenient if you have luggage. So is the very thick carpet, which makes it hard to wheel your suitcase. There is no fridge in the room and no milk, though there is coffee.Breakfast is varied but pastries are awful. It is expensive for what it is.
