Hotels in Houhai Area, Beijing

Facilities: The whole house is smart, the room is very new, and there's even a coffee machine. It's a courtyard-style building, a must-visit spot when you come to Beijing. It's very close to Houhai, and also Prince Gong's Mansion. Getting around is super convenient; you can walk to all the attractions. This used to be General Zhaohui's residence, so I actually got to stay in a prince's mansion – what an experience! The service attitude is excellent; they even gave us recommendations for nearby attractions. I'll definitely come back next time.

This is a great hotel with a very personal touch and excellent service. I had booked a 'cozy king room,' but when I arrived, the previous guest hadn't checked out yet. The front desk immediately upgraded me to their courtyard room and was incredibly helpful with storing my luggage. For anyone in need of a good place, you can book with confidence!

What a pleasant surprise, this courtyard hotel! At night, the red lanterns illuminate the wooden beams, creating a fantastic ambiance in the traditional Chinese courtyard with stunning views. The entire room is equipped with Xiaodu smart voice control, allowing you to turn lights on/off and play music with just a voice command – the level of smart tech far exceeded my expectations. The room was clean, tidy, cozy, and comfortable. Overall, the experience completely surpassed what I anticipated. It's definitely worth coming back to, and this will be my first choice for future stays!

The Courtyard Hotel in Beijing really captures the essence of a traditional Chinese courtyard house, with its blue brick courtyard exuding ancient charm. The bedding throughout the room is soft and comfortable, everything is clean, and the space is quite generous. The front desk staff are attentive and very welcoming. Its proximity to Nanluoguxiang and the Forbidden City makes it super convenient for getting around. The hotel offers a peaceful retreat despite being in a bustling area, making it a perfect place to stay when visiting Beijing.

Good location, very nice staff, and a comfortable hotel room for the price. My original room had a stale cigarette smell, but staff changed my room very quickly without any issues. The staff were extremely helpful and answered all my questions using a translator app and WeChat. As a first-time foreign visitor to Beijing, I really appreciated their patience and friendliness. Housekeeping replaced towels daily and provided new water bottles. Big thanks to all the staff for the great service 👏🏻👏🏻 The hotel is near Jishuitan Station (Lines 2 and 19), which made getting around easy. There’s also a bus stop right in front of the subway station. Xihai Lake is right behind the hotel and accessible through the back door — a calm and beautiful area to walk around and one of the highlights of my stay. Hutongs and the Shichahai scenic area are within walking distance. Food options are available on the next street, including a great Muslim restaurant with breakfast options. I also tried zha jiang mian at the restaurant right next door. A few things to note: food smells from the restaurant sometimes reached the lobby or slightly into the room. I also occasionally smelled cigarette smoke in the hallway near other rooms. The shower temperature control was a bit sensitive, and the showerhead leaked slightly from the side, but everything still worked fine overall. The room walls also had some visible creasing in the wallpaper, though there were no humidity issues on the wall.

The hotel's location and environment are excellent. It's very close to Gulou subway station (Lines 2 and 8), and there are several great restaurants nearby. The ambiance is nice. The lobby also has activities like making bracelets and collecting travel stamps, which the kids really enjoyed. However, the bathroom door is quite noisy when opening and closing, which slightly affected our sleep. I hope they can maintain and inspect it properly.

The room facilities are complete, clean, and comfortable. The staff are warm and attentive, and the environment is beautiful and cozy. We brought our child, and they absolutely loved the small courtyard in front of the room. They bought a plane model and enjoyed admiring it in the courtyard, which made them incredibly happy. Just turn right and walk straight out of the hotel, and in a few minutes, you'll reach Nanluoguxiang, where you can find all sorts of trendy shops, eateries, and creative stores. It's also very close to the subway station, making it convenient to go anywhere. Any issues we had were promptly addressed by the front desk staff. I highly recommend trying Wenyu Cheese, especially the red bean double skin milk – it's super delicious.

Staying in a traditional courtyard house is a must when in Beijing! This place is super easy to find, about 200 meters from the subway exit, tucked away in a charming hutong. The courtyard itself is huge, perfect for relaxing with a cup of tea and a chat. You can even catch the sunset right from your room in the evenings, which is just lovely. The room layout is well-designed, and the bed is large and incredibly comfortable. It was so quiet at night that I slept like a baby. Right across from the hotel, there's a fantastic local BBQ joint called Tong Ye's Old Beijing Zizi Roast Meat. You can book a table online through the hotel and just head over when your turn is near – it's absolutely brilliant! If you turn right out of the hotel and walk for about ten minutes, you'll hit Gulou Street, which is packed with food and drink options. It's really convenient for getting around. I've already recommended it to several friends and can't wait to go back!

The location is unbeatable, really close to Nanluoguxiang, Yonghe Temple, and Prince Gong's Mansion. It's super convenient to get around either on foot or by bike. They also have spacious king rooms perfect for families with kids. Plus, there's a fruit store and plenty of dining options right downstairs. Highly recommended, I'd definitely come back!

Tucked away in a *hutong*, this hotel is truly a work of art. The lady at the front desk who checked me in was incredibly warm and friendly, going out of her way to recommend great local spots to eat and explore. The room was also spotless. My only regret is that I missed the shadow puppet show (they only have them on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays), but the staff still made sure my child got a special experience with it. I loved it! And the Song brocade and shadow puppet earrings are absolutely gorgeous. I'll definitely be back!
