48 hour layover in Beijing so chose to visit the art zone. The hotel is in the zone and everything is walkable. The staff are terrific and the hotel is a really comfortable boutique property. Enjoyed our stay very much.

Great area - lovely hotel

Staff was extremely helpful and hotel is in a neighborhood with art, coffee, and shops.

Amazing staff, great service. We got upgraded to a bigger room for free when we checked in. Breakfast was stellar and the area is Bejings best. Art, museums, shops and tons of restaurants in a truly unique area that must be experienced. It's close the the aiport so if you only have a day to spend in Bejing, this is the place. I highly recommend staying here.

The staff was exceptionally welcoming, friendly, and helpful. The room was beautiful -- high ceilings, good windows, huge soft bed, amazing bathtub. The heat and wifi worked well, plenty of plugs and surfaces, and the drawers and closets were full of toiletries and extras (I used a robe, slippers, hairdryer, water kettle, fridge, toothbrush, razor, soap...). The main reason I chose this hotel is the location, and it did not disappoint either. Thank you 格瑞斯酒店!

Extremely warm, friendly, welcoming, comfortable beds - and the staff speak English!

It was a great stay but there was noise coming from the neighboring building ALL NIGHT LONG. Sounded like construction or something but it was pretty terrible.

Room was a bit smaller than I expected but was fine for one night. 15-20 taxi ride from BJ international

The hotel lobby and room were beautifully decorated with art pieces. We like the high ceiling in the room however this also meant that getting it heated properly in winter is difficult. Upon request, the hotel provided a portable heater. The neighbourhood is a little run down but is well located if you are looking to spend time in the nearby art precinct. They provide a quality cooked breakfast (choice of continental, American, South East Asian, Japanese & Chinese). The cab fare from the airport is only CNY70, being halfway between airport and Beijing central. The nearest ATM is quite a distance away.

Pros. - comfort bed - friendly and enthusiastic staffs - 30 or less mins from the Capital airport by taxi - located inside of the 798 art district - well served breakfast Cons. - a bit shabby facilities, looking better in pics than through bare eyes - small room with lack of outlets

As most people have said, not the easiest to find so top tip, find the East entrance with the big "798" above it that frequently appears on the news (photo uploaded to help). When facing that from the outside, the hotel is about 400metres left with the entrance down the side road. Disappointingly, we booked it because the site states "airport shuttle" but that's a myth, I'm afraid. They did offer to transport us for RMB (YUAN)400.....how kind ! In any case it's a short journey. A stocked fridge free of charge is a nice touch. Rooms are cosy and bed very comfortable. The heating in the public areas could do with a bit of attention...it was cold....but if not a bit overpriced, this is a lovely hotel. Lots to see around in the Art Zone but be careful...it's easy to get lost so keep your bearings!

I was interested in the discount rate of this hotel and reserved one night. However, I'm afraid and suspect that the original price is just a luering price to show the discount rate big. The room, especially the bath room is terrible, water comes very little from the shower and it is very difficult to adjust the temperature of the water...

Very nice and helpful staffs that made me feel very impressed. Only the hotel facilities (i.e. elevator) and room tidiness need to improve. Breakfast is fair and just don't expect it would be very full variety of choice and the Chinese style one was better. Overall it's a nice hotel if you want to stay around the zone 798, just think it's rate is a bit pricy.

Here one night for business trip. Unique hotel in cool area. Not much to do after 9 pm as everything around is closed.

The hotel was just ok but given the price asked was not up to par. Also, the restaurant was closed so alternative breakfast offered was not great which had to be brought to room as no eating space. with the renovations also a lot of dust drifted around and noisy with work late and early !!. I understand business but a few changes could have make workable. also not offered any reduction in price due to closure. the art on the walls is nice.thanks

Friendly staff, comfortable rooms. The hotel restaurant is quite good. My favorite hotel and area in Beijing. And if you want to get to the city center, just take a taxi to the closest metro station.

Helen was great and very helpful during check in. We arrived late at night and she made sure we were able to get to our room quickly to rest. The room was very clean. They offer a variety of toiletries, which was great since we were staying because of a long layover.

Outstanding stay. The hotel is beautiful. The staff are exceptionally friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. The 798 district is a great place to stay in Beijing. I wish I could have stayed longer!

Please show you this photo. This is Yi House. I was very shocked yesterday night. Be careful!

They did a good job using good deco to disguise the shabbiness of the hotel. When you look closely, nothing but motel quality furnitures and room conditions. The bathroom looks dirty. Plus you wont be able to get a taxi to the front of the hotel. You have to go to the street. It is definitely not a 4-star hotel. The only good thing is the free breakfast. They call it Continental breakfast but it is actually pretty fancy and you can order good food. There are tons of good 4-star hotels in Beijing. I would definitely stay away from this one unless you are expecting a motel quality with 4-star price.

Excellent staff, nice clean room and the hotel restaurant serves very good western food.

Nice feel to it. In an art district. Restraunt too heavily focused on beefy western fare. Room is comfortable.

Absolutely beautiful little gem in a slightly remote area of Beijing. The ambiance is cozy and relaxing. Grace suite was astonishing and restaurant was first class. We usually go to the Grand Hyatt or the Fairmont in Biejing but decided to try this one. I will most probably return there from now on. The only problem was to find the hotel initially and to explain to the taxi drivers each time we came back. The hotel site should have a better direction page that can be printed or screenshot on a portable device. All the crew spoke good English .

The staff was extremely friendly, but they seemed to be on their job for the first day and without prior training. (I meant the *entire* staff.) Despite being in District 798, the blocks surrounding Grace is completely dead at night. The bathroom is disappointing: the entire bathroom floor was soaked for hours after I took a shower and made the toilet and sink rather difficult to get to. And what's with giving me a bottle of used body wash - left over from the previous visitor? I didn't notice until it was too late to request a new bottle.

The receptionist was helpful in providing directions to the taxi driver at Beijing International Airport who did not know where the hotel was located despite me passing him the address. The room I had was comfortable although the design of the open shower/toilet meant there was water everywhere on the bathroom floor after each shower. This meant there was water damage to the bottom of the (timber) bathroom skirting/door. The staff at reception on my late arrival were friendly, patient and helpful. The male staff member at the restaurant in the morning was also very polite and more than accommodating to my request for a 'fast' breakfast as I had a flight to catch. It's a pity I only literally stayed for about 10 hours overnight on a transit stop in Beijing. Would have loved to stay longer at the hotel otherwise.
