Mandarin house, Sprachcaffe etc... Beijing language schools experience?

[tortue]

Hi all,

I would like to know about your experiences with language schools like the above.

Also if you could point to those who may be less highly ranking at google - I am sure there are a lot more of them than what I was able to find until now.

I have already found this post

which was very helpful but also a little old now.

Thanks a lot!
