"We stayed at Hotel Aaliyah for six days. It was located right on the infamous street of Nanluoguxiang. There is a Starbucks across from the hotel so it was easy to spot once we arrived. And perfect for getting a western breakfast. If you arrive in the morning, anytime before 11am, the street won’t be crowded yet. We had a ton of luggage and I had a little one in tow so it was a bit hectic to navigate around 6:30pm. An option is to contact the hotel, they are very helpful. I would suggest adding them on WeChat for easy communication. I wish I had done that prior to our arrival. On our last day they helped us with our luggage to the lobby and to the Didi car.
The location was perfect. It’s about a 10-12 minute walk to the nearest subway station, line 6 and line 8. Line 8 conveniently takes you to Tianmen Square, Qianmen Street, and Wangfuging Street. Even though the hotel is located on Nanluoguxiang, it was pretty quiet. Please note that if you reserve an economy room, it is quite small, but the bathroom is pretty spacious. The room we had was a little outdated, for example, the walls and windows.
Staff are very helpful and friendly. Lynn, Sherrain, and Nora help ordered items I wanted, provided directions, and provided general help. Other staff were wonderful as well. The hotel provides unlimited snacks, bottled water, tea, and coffee. You can also relax on their rooftop which was pretty nice.
Overall, we had a great stay and the staff were wonderful. I would stay again."
