    The music from the Union bar located in the lobby was too loud, I could hear it in my room when trying to sleep.

    I liked the set up and design of the room. The fact everything in the mini bar was included, some wine would have been nice too for the non beer drinkers.

    From the lobby manager to the room service, I feel the warmth everywhere, including the service in the restaurant, especially the breakfast department. The hygiene is superb. The only thing I was a little disappointed with was the Peking duck. Overall a fantastic service.

    There was a construction across the small alley from my room, the construction workers were looking right into my living room from am to pm, but this has nothing to do with the peoperty itself.

    Beautiful and spacious rooms, great service and central location. The bathtub is awesome, like a Japanese onsen. Will surely stay here again! Restaurants are just so so, the Italia food they serve doesn't really taste authentic, would expect better from SWIRE.

    Nothing.

    High-class hotel with superb rooms, restaurants, and facilities. The staff was fantastic, greatly facilitating our stay by helping to set up Alipay and organizing excursions to the Great Wall and other sights. They also spoke fairly good English, anticipated our every need, and were in general very attentive. Minibar consumption and a little gift each night before going to bed are included in the room price. Definitely one of the best managed hotels I have ever stayed at.

    When you enter the hotel you are already in awe of the place: a peaceful oasis with beautiful art in in the middle of bustling Sanlitun. We had a Studio70, which is a gorgeous spacious room in understated colours and wood. The B&O bluetooth speaker was a nice touch. Impeccably clean. Lush towels (lots of them). Walk in shower and great wooden bath tub. Complimentary mini bar. The staff is very welcoming and helpful. They take their time to get to know you and will arrange transport, dinner reservations, bicycles, basically everything you need. Gym is well decked out with free weights, cable machine, and very good quality treadmills, bikes etc. Beautiful swimming pool too. Lots of restaurant options in-house. All great. Saturday night the hotel bar Union was obviously the place to be for the hip 'n happening Beijing crowd. Live DJ, the place was buzzing. The location right in the middle of Sanlitun is excellent. We made great use of the cool hotel bikes to visit all the sites in Beijing. Love the Opposite House!

    Quality of food at breakfast - could be much more delicious in terms of quality of food and not least prep/taste - you just need a new head chef ;)

    If I had to find one little fault, the water in the swimming pool could have been a couple of degrees warmer. I thought it was fine but my wife found it a little too fresh.

    I chose The Opposite House for our wedding night and it was perfect. We loved it. The design is great. The rooms are extremely well appointed, but uncluttered, spacious and bright. The breakfast was brilliant, the best hotel breakfast I've ever had. The restaurants and bars are all great. The Michelin-starred Jing Yaa Tang had the best Chinese food I've eaten in 11 years here. What elevated a fabulous hotel to the superlative was the service, which was efficient but unfussy, a sure sign of class, and all the staff speak great English. I can't recommend The Opposite House highly enough and will be back for our first anniversary, if not before.

    Breakfast is sad... bad quality, very few choices. That's true with both the continental and what's on the menu. I remembered it to be better. Hope it will be better next time. I'll be back at this hotel for sure, despite bad breakfast.

    The cool and thoughtful design of the hotel is what drew me in at first. With the added benefits of amazing location, comfort, and amenities. There are not many hotels better than this in the world. If it's between a Ritz Carlton and The Opposite House, the Opposite House wins a hundred times over.

    A bit noisy at night. I guess the higher floors fare better (I was on the 3rd floor).

    The room was great, bright, minimal (in a good way), perfect for working. The staff were very kind, and very helpful 👍🏻

    If I have to be really picky, the coffee at breakfast can be more tasty. I find the hairdryer in the room a bit heavy and bulky ( not the best fit with the beautiful minimalistic style room).

    We have stayed at the Opposite House for years whenever to come to visit family and friends in Beijing ( my husband and our 6 years old daughter). The ambience here is just superb: Cool & Artistic, yet very Peaceful. I can’t say enough nice things about the service and the deco. Minimalistic yet warm and homey. Nothing in Beijing nor Shanghai beats the experience here. Yvett, Lynn and Joyce from the front receiption are super kind, helpful and efficient! So were Jessica from restaurant Fresca.My parents joined us for a staycation and it was a lovely experience for all of us.

    No early check in. Since staycations are a thing right now an early check in would have been appreciated. No cart for the room service which meant the dirty dishes stayed in room until check out.

    The service was terrific. From a cute complimentary mini bar to a little fruit and nut plate delivery upon arrival. I asked for a late check out and it was no problem. The location was incredible! Close to many shops and restaurants which made walking around fun. The bathtub was awesome!
