Hotels in Houhai Area, Beijing

This hotel is really unique and offers guests an authentic courtyard living experience. The small courtyards are exquisite and charmingly old-fashioned, and it's wonderfully relaxing to sit out there in the morning. The front desk and hotel staff are all very enthusiastic, and the location is super convenient. I'd definitely recommend it to friends.

The lady at the front desk was very welcoming, and the room was spotless. The location is excellent; the front desk staff even helped me find a parking spot. Anzhen Hospital is right across the street, and the subway station is only 100 meters away on foot. The rooms are equipped with smart devices, and the projector comes with a membership already set up. Overall, I'm very satisfied.

This hotel is located in a *hutong* (traditional alley) and has parking, which is convenient for those traveling by car. It's very clean and the environment is pleasant. It's also very close to Prince Gong's Mansion and Yandai Xiejie (Skewed Tobacco Pouch Street). Upon check-in, we received complimentary fruit in the room. When checking out, we were given a lovely farewell gift bag with some small snacks. The mini-bar offers Beibingyang soda, Coke, sour plum juice, and mineral water, all complimentary.

This is a really unique hotel for families, with a highlight being the shadow puppet show. The teacher explained the production and performance details in depth, and you could even go backstage for a hands-on experience, which is perfect for kids. Plus, there were a lot of foreigners – if you're a social butterfly, you could definitely strike up a conversation and practice your English! The only slight inconvenience is its location in a hutong; it's about a 15-minute walk from the subway station. However, it's quite easy to get a Didi ride from there.

Beijing Le Meng Hotel was an excellent experience! The quadrangle courtyard is charmingly old-fashioned, full of old Beijing character. The location is super convenient, right next to Houhai and Gulou. The room was cozy and clean, and the service was attentive. Highly recommended!

I booked this hotel for a concert, without much thought at the time, just wanting something close to attractions and the subway. My stay completely exceeded expectations! The room was spacious and spotless, incredibly quiet, ensuring a great night's sleep. It was fully smart-controlled, which my kids found really cool. Every staff member I encountered was incredibly patient and kind – looking back, it was a truly comfortable experience. Nanluoguxiang itself isn't particularly exciting, similar to Chengdu's Kuanzhai Alley. But if you have enough time and aren't rushing to see sights, exploring the various small hutongs from here is a delightful surprise. You immediately get a sense of Beijing's unique charm, and can leisurely stroll to Houhai, Beihai, and other spots. Many great food options are within walking distance too. If you're a fan of 'wmls,' the old Beijing pancake shop is super close (my first stop in Beijing was to grab some pancakes!). The hotel has a small gate, and a bus stop is just a few minutes' walk away. I found taking the bus much more convenient than the subway, though we only took one route from Beihai Park to the hotel. It had seats and passed by the Gate of Divine Might. It's a shame my itinerary didn't allow for a Forbidden City visit this time, but I'll definitely be back. Plus, there are lots of eateries near the bus stop. If you're tired of the generic tourist snacks in Nanluoguxiang, try exploring that street for food. Interestingly, this traditional-style hotel had a lot of motorcycles (they looked expensive!), which I'm guessing is the owner's personal touch – a bit funny and endearing. Finally, I want to praise the hotel staff again. Every single one, even the gentleman collecting trash at the small gate, was wonderful. Everyone was gentle and considerate. All in all, I'm so glad I chose Manxin Mansion.

The room I stayed in this time was very quiet, not noisy at all. The front desk handled issues very quickly, and the hygiene was excellent, making for a worry-free stay. As a loyal customer, I've always highly recommended it; the value for money is great, and the experience was superb.

A lovely hotel, perfectly located to visit Beijing but also to enjoy local bars and restaurants. The girls at the reception are so kind and helpful, they patiently explained to us how everything works in China, and made some reservations to restaurants for us! There is no breakfast, but the small bar within the hotel can make a very good coffee and drought beer to enjoy on their beautiful terrace. All in all, totally recommended!

Everything about this hotel is great! 1️⃣ It's close to the subway station, so it's easy for kids to walk without getting tired! 2️⃣ The hotel's decor and atmosphere are lovely, and the front desk staff (both male and female) are super attentive and helpful! 3️⃣ I booked a small room as I was traveling alone with my child. While the room was compact, it was clean and tidy, with a separate shower and toilet, and a spotless vanity. 4️⃣ The toiletries were comprehensive, and they even provided separate amenities for children, which was really convenient! I'll definitely be back!

My eight-day stay in Beijing was fantastic! The female staff were warm and friendly, and the room service was impeccable, keeping my room spotless every day. While the hotel wasn't modern, it was definitely cozy and comfortable. The location was also very convenient, just a few minutes' walk from the subway station, making it easy to get to all parts of Beijing. If you want to experience authentic life in Beijing's alleyways, this place is highly recommended.
