Dasein Youlan Hotel

Loved the stay! The staff is very nice. Although only one of them speaks English, they are all very friendly. Since I was sick, I asked for more than 15 small bottles of water, and they were willing to bring them to our room. The hotel is nice, with large spaces and nice decorations. Some parts are sloppy, reflecting the "made in China" stereotype, but overall, nothing is broken and everything works fine. The toilet seat is warm and has functions similar to a Japanese toilet, which is rare in China, known for its subpar toilets. Also the projector works amazingly.

Overall not bad

Beautiful hotel in a great location. Large, clean room with free laundry and breakfast. Great place to stay that's quiet on side street but right in the heart of central Beijing. Highly recommend

Struggled to decide on the overall rating. The hotel is clean, with a nice bath for soaking; staff are responsive. The location overall is fine but perhaps our expectations differed. Breakfast was provided - the variety akin to local breakfast tastes. Perfectly fine. The sticky point is the air conditioning, which is not controllable other than on and off. So by the last night we were forced to open the windows for some semblance of appropriate temperature and 'air flow. However, smoke from outside and noise from other rooms with similarly opened windows intruded into the room. I would think its better to label the hotel as not having individual air conditioning control.

There are great positives about this hotel and a few negatives. Among the positives, great service and staff, tranquil, different than the big box hotels - it has a more spa like vibe. However, a couple of negatives resulted in my move to a different hotel after just one night. It was a hot day in Beijing and the room AC wasn’t effective. A friend who was staying in a different room on the ground floor said it was fine, so it could be the room I got. The rooms are small unless you are staying in a suite. The hotel entrance is in a side street, behind a restaurant that had a few garbage bags lying around and frankly smelled bad. Not a good first impression as you enter the hotel, although not hotels fault.

Very nice small hotel, very convenient not far from Wangfujing area, at the entrance of a hutong. Very nice and helpful people. Very nice rooms with great bath. Very good everyday cleaning of rooms. Some milk given everyday and of course water. Nice patio and exterior corridor with bamboos, a little of japanese atmosphere. The only less good point to mention is that breakfast could be a little improved for foreigners, that is having knives for exemple ( to put butter on the toasts). It was a very very good stay. Thank you to the team of hotel.
