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!
