The Shadow Art hotel is excellent value for its location. It is a stylish hotel with comfortable modern rooms. It has convenient WIFI in the lounge and offers a great breakfast, which caters for most tastes. It is only 7-10 minutes from two underground stations and the beautiful Qianhai lake and the miriad of restaurants and bars on the foreshore.... More

Great location, very close to a nice area to eat and go out, very clean and modern. The Chinese decoration is beautiful you feel like in the old times. The staff speak English very well and are very helpful. It is a hotel to definitely come back many times.

Thank you to all the lovely staff at the Shichahai Shadow Art Performance Hotel. My partner and I stayed 4 nights and had a wonderful time. The staff were very helpful, the hotel is very clean and comfortable and we loved the design/artwork. The breakfast was great and we really enjoyed watching the puppet performance. I was a bit dubious... More

Travelling through the Hutong to this hotel we wondered what we had let ourselves in for, but WOW! A small but comfortable room, and staff who could not do enough for us.

Make sure you have the hotels address in Chinese for your taxi driver. You will have difficulty finding it otherwise.

We take friends and family to Beijing often to visit and have recommended this hotel every time. What makes this hotel wonderful is the staff. They will go out of their way to do anything for you. They are kind, gracious and generous. The shadow puppet show on some evenings is a plus. They encourage kids to go "behind the... More

This hotel is beautiful and comfortable, and the staff is very friend and nice. There is staff on duty 24 hours, which was very convenient for us to check-in in midnight and check-out in early morning. But there is no window in the room, and the light in the room is in fact a bit dim. Its definitely a headache... More

This hotel really is one of a kind. The walls are decked with original Shadow Art puppet artworks, mostly created by Maomao, the extremely talented artist who can be seen daily in the indoor courtyard area working at his desk. The staff are eternally helpful, particularly Cathy, and will go as far as possible to help you with queries. We... More
