Lemeng Hotel (Beijing Houhai Drum Tower)

This is such a beautiful hotel, formerly a temple built in the 1400s. The location is fabulous, 2mins walk from Gulou Dajie Station (line 2 & 8) and you can connect easily to get to Capital Beijing Airport, Forbidden City, Temple of Heaven etc. There are restaurants and cafes nearby, a 24-hr minimart and McDonald's. It is also walking distance (15-20mins) to the Drum Tower and the famous hytong, Nanluoguxiang. As for our stay, we chose the Siheyuan Ancient Charm Room and it is comfortable for 2 person with 2 large luggage. Bed is comfortable and bathroom works well. Room wall is thin so we need to keep our voices down at night (we always come back close to midnight). Overall service is decent - staff do not speak English so lucky for me, my friend does. They are pretty helpful and friendly. We had daily housekeeping so our room is always kept neat and tidy. They have a lovely courtyard and the trees were in full bloom by the time we left. Truly enjoyed our stay in Lemeng Hotel.

I van't wait to write this review. We stayed for 7 nights at this beautiful Lemeng Hotel and must give an A+ rating for their service and friendliness. Given the language barrier and 1st timer in Beijing, we had no choice than keep asking hotel for assistance, and they really really helped us out wholeheartedly. One day also, the room cleatner returned my wife gold earring found in between the blankets. Hotel location is good, near subway station and is surrounded by a number of restaurants and breakfast places. Rooms and bed are comfortable, toilet and shower are also great. No complaint. Just be mindful that the hotel is not equipped with kitchen, thus please do not expect room-service. If you like to experience "living" in a "old-time" courtyard, this is the place you need to consider.

Nice and helpful staff, good location near subway station. Nice environment and will back again when I visit Beijing.

Traditional Chinese looking. Near train station. Good location and near main road. Many eateries around. Friendly staff and helped us to book car to next hotel. Thanks.

Nearby the mrt station and also the attractions. Unique experience to stay in the historic building at Beijing 🤣🤣🤣

The room we book abit small due to we carry 2 big luggage, thus we decided to upgrade to a bigger room. the room was clean and location is very convenient as just 3min walk to Metro station, will come again next time when i in Beijing.
