We stayed 4 nights at Michael's house and it was totally great. Great service provided by a kind and cool staff, the room is nice and cosy, and the inner courtyard the perfect place to relax after a long tough day in Beijing. We really enjoyed our stay there and highly recommend it to anyone looking for an authentic and... More

We stayed here in a standard double room for two nights. The room was small but well equipped, with a large comfortable double bed. The bathroom was also small but clean and adequate. For a few nights this was fine, but if you plan to stay for a week or two, it may be better to book one of the... More

Some people may think it was a little out of the way but I don't think so for a city the size of Beijing - plus so cheap to get a taxi anywhere. It was in an area where there were not a lot of Europeans so you get a feel (I think) for the "real" China. It was a... More

I chose Michael's House because of great reviews on TripAdvisor, and was not disappointed. I love the fact that it is in the middle of a Chinese neighbourhood - when you walk out the door, you are immersed in community life. There are several really fine restaurants within a 5-minute walk: dumplings noodles, sichuanese, beijing duck - and an incredible... More

The hotel is a good value. The hotel is average. The location is close to the subway by about a 10 minute walk. The rooms are clean though there were marks on the walls. The shower provided about 5 minutes of hot water. The main room is clean but the windows really need washing. There was chipped and worn paint... More

A realy lovely place to stay, has the feel of a family run guest house rather than a hotel. After staying in lots of hotels in China this was one of the best and most enjoyable. Managed to fit me in after I had miss booked my dates and gave me the best room for a single price. Book asap... More

Michael's is nice. It is the best place I have stayed for leisure travel in Beijing, though not perfect. It is small, with only 12 rooms situated around a courtyard. The decor is attractive and colorful and Chinese/Western fusion with a few tacky things thrown in here and there. The main reasons to stay here: -Is a courtyard-style hotel with... More

We recently spent five nights at Michael’s House. It is styled after hutong dwellings, but has modern touches. The rooms are comfortable and well laid out with the bed room area separated from the living area by a circular arch screen. The bed was very comfortable. The bathroom was small with only a shower, but the water was hot and... More

Like what most other reviewers have mentioned the staff was definitely the highlight at this place. They always went above and beyond in helping us whether it was writing down what we should order at a Peking duck restaurant, storing our luggage or booking a car for the Great Wall. Nothing was impossible for them! It was such a surprise... More
