My stay at Sofu Hotel in Beijing was a mixed bag. While the location in the heart of an authentic hutong was fantastic for exploring local culture, the room struggled with air conditioning issues, making it hard to sleep comfortably. Additionally, the breakfast options were quite limited, especially when there are so many great eateries nearby. Overall, it had its good points but definitely left room for improvement.
