Verified traveller

Liked: Cleanliness
Disliked: Property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Extremely uncomfortable. Tiny room with no closet and very dark. Probably the worst room in the hotel (located right behind the front desk area). I travel about two to three times a year and this is the very worst experience that I've encountered ever. Others in our traveling group were given substantially better accommodations and at the same price.

Pro: AC works well, nice friendly staff, experiencing Beijing Hutong lifestyle. Easy to find a place to eat. Con: room has no window and quite small, good distance to subway station without luggage. Hutong is one-way road.

Amazing little hotel in a great location

I really enjoyed my stay here. The location is great, in the hutong district, and the courtyard itself was pretty beautiful. The staff was also pretty amazing as well. You can book tours with them which is very convenient. There are also a lot of food and drinking options within walking distance. I found the hutong alleys to be just wonderful to walk around and get lost in. I found one bar in the alley just south of Lishi Hutong (the alley where the hotel is) named Alley Ale Tap room (Yanyue Hutong). The bartender Zack speaks english and the craft beers were pretty amazing so if you stay here be sure to check them out.

Unique style

I liked this hotel. The interior decor is in a traditional Chinese style and very beautiful and relaxing. The fish are a good feature I liked. The rooms are spacious, clean, and nice. Logically deluxe room is best. The staff were wonderful, always polite and helpful and friendly The location is good, it is closely situated to popular tourist sites, many shops, and transport. Staying in a Hutong (alleyway) is a good experience in itself. Many people and activities to watch passby. I had a great holiday enhanced by staying at a nice hotel. I stayed 2 weeks and hope can return in future.

Cancelled Reservation

Upon arrival hotel informed me that they cancelled my reservation, allegedly the night before. I did not receive any notice to this day. i had to pay double the price for another hotel (since my reservation was made a week in advance) and also for a taxi ride to another area. This hotel is on the east end of Lishi Hutong, you would best be served to stay on the west end as there is more to do and closer to metro.

Great location

I loved being in the middle of a Hutong. Close to Dongsi subway. Charming staff. The bed was really hard, but otherwise this is a great place. Their WiFi was weak, but I hadn't expected it to be, so this wasn't an issue. Get coffee inside the 161 Hotel a couple of blocks east.

Nice hotels good value for money

The bed was extremely comfortable, the location was great (once we found it) and the staff were helpful. The only bad thing about our stay was we were woken up each morning by other guests as the room doors are very thin and let in a lot of sound.

Pleasant stay

Have stayed at this courtyard hotel several times and cannot speak highly enough of the pleasant and efficient staff.They always go out of tgeir way to make ne feel welcome. The hotel could do with sone renovation , particularly in the shower rooms where the water tebds to come from the source rather than from the showerhead.i brought this to Managers attention so by my next annual visit i would trust this will have been attended to. The Breakfast is boring to say the least and I think it is time they reviewed the Menu.

분위기만 조금 좋고 나머진 별로입니다

중국에는 처음이라 숙박시설의 가성비 기준을 잘모르지만... 일단 가격이 비싸진 않지만 그래도 가격에 비해 시설 및 상태가 안좋음. 1.방이랑 화장실이 너무 좁음. 아무리 스탠다드라고 해도 너무너무 좁음 2.방이 전체적으로 눅눅함. 그래서 침구를 갈아도 금방 눅눅해짐 3.방에 개미 출현.. 다량의.. 화장대로 추정되는 (거울이 있어서) 가구 뒷편을 들추니 개미가 바글바글.. 직원을 불렀으나.. 임시 조치만 하였음 (출현지역 주변으로 석유뿌리기) 다음날 외출하는 동안 방을 바꾸거나 조치를 요청했으나.. 방 바꾸는건 안되고 (남는 방이 없다함) 조치는 했다고는 하는데.. 일단 개미를 보진 못했으나.. 다음에 또 안나오리라는 법은 없음. 4.숙소의 위치를 알고 갔기에 개인적으로 불만은 없으나, 혹시 위치가 중요하신 분은 비추. 2/6호선 Chaoyangmen역과 5/6호선 Dongsi역 사이에 있는 사거리에 조금 내려와 두번째 골목에서 들어가면 있는데... 일단 왕푸징까지 도보는 가능하나.. 한번 정도만... 물론 지하철역 가까우면 숙소가 비싸지긴 하겠지만.. 돈보다 위치가 중요하신 분들한테는 비추

Conveniently located near Wangfujing and the Forbidden City. an excellent cross section of Hutong life, with some excellent eating places nearby. If you enjoy a craft beer, nip down to Il Gatto at the other end of the laneway.

Zorg dat je geen kamer op de begane grond krijgt!

Onze ervaring in dit hotel was een beetje dubbel. In eerste instantie kregen we een kamer op de begane grond naast de receptie. Een heel klein kamertje waar je de koffers niet in kwijt kon. We konden de eerste nachts niet slapen van de ratten die over het hardboard plafond heen en weer renden. We hebben dezelfde nacht de receptie laten komen om te luisteren naar het kabaal en kregen te horen dat we de volgende dag naar een andere kamer konden. De volgende dag kregen we een andere kamer op de eerste verdieping en die was veel ruimer, schoner en geen last van ratten meer. Verder ligt het hotel gunstig ten opzichte van het centrum.

Great Staff, Fun Location

A very nice room in a good location. It was fun to stay in a Hutong although taxis were reluctant to take us because traffic patterns are tricky. The best thing was the staff they went above and beyond to be helpful. We had trouble getting cash from ATMs and they took care of us until we could, so we didn't have to sit out our vacation.

2 nuits en chambre familiale,reservee via internet. Nous voulions rester plus longtemps mais personnel inefficace, la veille nous dit que la chambre est dispo et le lendemain matin, nous apprend qu’elle est réservée. Donc, nous avons du changer d’hôtel. Petit dejeuner non compris et moyen. Chambre confirtable et deco typique.

Traditonelles Hotel

Mitten in der City in einer kleiner Straße liegt das eher von außen unscheinbare Hotel. Das Zimmer war gut ausgestattet, wir waren ja eh nur zun schlafen da. In der Nähe gab es viele einheimische Restaurants. Das Hotel ist für ein Beijing Aufenthalt super geeignet, wenn man keinen Luxus möchte.
