The rooms are cosy and decorated in the chinese style. About 15 minutes for walk away from the forbidden city and tinanamen square.The most outstanding aspect was the helpful attitude of the staff. They take hospitality seriously in China, and the Spring Garden exemplifies this.

Staying at hutong area is must to every openminded traveller! Hotel is nice and sure chinese experience. Nice staff and beautiful rooms!

My boyfriend and I stayed in the Autumn Garden hotel at the end of our trans-siberian railway trip from Moscow and staying there was one of the highlights of an amazing holiday.

Since it's located in the hutong (lots... More
