Recommended to try characteristic hutong dwellings

Special recommendation: Unknown Hotel Nanluogu Lane Branch

Highly recommend this famous hotel ~ Nanluogu Lane Courtyard Boutique Hotel located in the Second Ring Road of Beijing ~ It is difficult to find such a hotel in this area ~ The moment you get off the bus, it is attracted by the lively Nanluogu Lane ~ All kinds of delicious food and small shops have everything ~ It is crowded and crowded ~ I arrived at the inconspicuous check-in office at the entrance of the hotel ~ a little disappointed ~ But I felt comfortable after entering the room ~ The room was very big ~ Clean and tidy and well-equipped ~ The quilt and mattress were also very comfortable~ Various room types can be changed every day ~ The waiter was very polite to help with the move [bared teeth] and also helped us dry our clothes ~ In short ~ It is already good to find such a room in Beijing Courtyard ~👍
