  Nostalgia Hotel was a great place to stay. Real Beijing

  15 Apr 2026

  The Nostalgia Hotel, located in the Fangjia Huton, was a great place for me to stay while visiting Beijing. An easy train-subway ride from the airport, it is located in a great area for visitors. I ended up walking to every place that I wanted to see, from the Lama Temple to the Forbidden CIty. The hotel was very nice, with clean rooms, a good breakfast, and a helpful staff. Be sure to use a local map to find the hotel as Google has the location incorrectly placed. The hotel is down Fangjia Alley, so it seems like you are going into a neighborhood. The hotel and courtyard stand out once you get there. The surrounding area has a lot of local shops and places to eat. I will stay here again when I return to Beijing.

  Great location, helpful staff

  Spend 3 nights and the best thing about the hotel is its location. Located in a Hutong close to the subway makes it a perfect base for exploring the touristic parts of Beijing. They offer free wifi, but the connection is not very good. Would have been a 5 Star rating if the breakfast had been a little better. Staff is really helpful, though they don’t speak very good English.

  The rooms were clean, it's in central and bustling area close to basic fruit markets, and an extended area of restos just 15-20 minutes away. The hotel itself is quiet, but as soon as you leave the courtyard has this wonderful turf out-door restaurant and event space. In fact the day we were leaving there was this pretty extravagant wedding. Back to the hotel, like I said, the room is clean, had everything we needed. We need a few things like a knife, and help with the wifi, and on one occasion I needed something better than a phone to buy concert tickets, and one of the employees went off and came back with a laptop. The staff were so helpful and friendly. Finally, I forgot a battery pack in the room and they shipped it to a friend of mine in China at no cost. Just be wary that there is another hotel with the same name nearby; when you are coming in on taxi or perhaps foot, just make sure everything matches up and that even Yonghe Lama Temple is included in the listing you're headed to. All in all, 100% amazing stay, would recommend; the price for location, etc. is fantastic. Thank you staff at hotel. You guys are so amazing! Thank you for sending me my battery pack. You're all so beautiful :D

  Excellent Location and Extremely Friendly Staff

  13 May 2019

  Considering how reasonably priced it was, the Nostalgia Hotel near the Lama Temple in Beijing is in a fantastic location! It's secluded down Fangjia Hutong, so it's very quiet, but it is within walking distance of the Lama Temple, the Confucius Temple, Guozijian, Nanluoguxiang, the Bell Tower, the Drum Tower, Yandaixiejie (Skewed Tobacco Pouch Street), and Shichahai. It's the ideal starting point for any tour in Beijing, particularly if you're a fan of traditional Chinese culture and the tranquility of hutongs in Beijing.The theme of the hotel is, of course, "nostalgia" and they've gone very deep! You'll find white rabbit candy in your bedroom, tin cups with Communist slogans on, wall paintings of hutongs in Spring, and a variety of other pleasant touches that will give you an insight into China's recent history. The rooms themselves are very comfortable and the showers are wonderful.We were very impressed by the wide variety of complementary items that were offered, including instant coffee, tea, water, a yoghurt drink, proper shampoo and shower gel, toothpaste, and toothbrushes. In the hotel foyer, there is also a place where you can pick up more complementary coffee sachets and tea if you run out.The true highlight of the hotel, however, is the wonderful staff! They were the most accommodating, friendly, and kind hotel staff members we have met. No matter what we asked of them, they always strived to accommodate us and make us feel as comfortable as possible. They went above and beyond the call of duty on several occasions, and for that we couldn't recommend this hotel highly enough!

  Reasonable price hotel your stay in Beijing!

  07 May 2019

  Probs: - Good value: Very reasonable price per night and you`ll get a nice hotel room! Room is quite spacious and there are basic anamneties, fridge, tv etc. Room was clean overall. - Closest metro station is located about 500m walk distance. - Safe neighborhood! - Located inner yard, so a bit hard to find but there are one restaurant, craft beer bar (really nice!) and couple coffeeshops just at the same yard. One small grocery about 100m. - Friendly staff, everybody seem to speak little english. Cons: - A bit hard to find- No in-room safe deposit- Walls are quite thin, so some noise might hear from others. - WIFI is slow, but it is the same in other places in Beijing. :)Overall: - Good place, of course it is not a 5-star hotel! I could stay here again!Lisää
