Hotels in Houhai Area, Beijing

This hotel, newly opened at the end of last year, isn't widely known yet, so it was wonderfully quiet during my stay. It felt like a peaceful oasis right in the middle of a bustling city. The hotel is conveniently located on the right as you enter Yandai Xiejie, and it's super close to Shichahai subway station, about a 200-meter walk, making getting around a breeze. Yandai Xiejie is right downstairs, and you can walk to popular attractions like Shichahai in about five minutes. The area is lively with plenty of food, drinks, and entertainment options. The hotel facilities are excellent; the room decor is very classic and elegant, and the service meets four-star hotel standards. Even though it's a new hotel, there wasn't a strong new-hotel smell, and the room had windows. While they don't have robot delivery, the front desk and staff personally bring takeaways to your room, which is a really thoughtful touch. Their service response is incredibly fast, and the staff are very friendly and personable. The only thing the hotel needs to improve is the low doorway when exiting the laundry room. The warning sign isn't very noticeable, and it's easy to bump your head after doing laundry. I suggest enhancing the warning system with a bigger, more prominent sign to alert guests.

Escaping the city's hustle and bustle, I found a tranquil and elegant Chinese courtyard nestled in the heart of the bustling metropolis at this quadrangle hotel. It was an immersive experience, allowing me to fully appreciate the ancient charm unique to Beijing. The hotel has meticulously preserved the original character of a traditional Beijing quadrangle, with its staggered gray tiles, antique vermilion wooden doors, intricately carved window lattices, bluestone paths, and elegant verandas – every detail thoughtfully crafted. The courtyard is serene and graceful, adorned with artfully placed plants. Sunlight filters through the eaves, dappling the yard, and a gentle breeze whispers, creating a peaceful ambiance that completely shuts out the noise of the outside world, instantly melting away travel fatigue. The guest rooms are designed with an elegant antique warmth, seamlessly blending Oriental aesthetic with modern comfort. The wooden furnishings are smooth and refined, the layout simple yet grand, and the soft furnishings and decor perfectly showcase Chinese aesthetics. The room was clean, tidy, bright, and spacious, with soft and skin-friendly bedding. The amenities were comprehensive and well-appointed, balancing ancient charm with practical living. Every detail truly showed great care. What made the stay even more pleasant was the attentive service from the staff. They were gentle, polite, and meticulous, warm and kind in their interactions, providing thoughtful service throughout. Their attentiveness was subtle and never overbearing, making me feel incredibly warm and at ease. In my leisure time, I sat quietly in the courtyard, listening to the rustling breeze and observing the tranquil surroundings, completely immersed in the serene atmosphere. Staying here, away from worldly distractions, I slowly admired the courtyard scenery and experienced the vibrant life and elegance of old Beijing. This wasn't just a simple accommodation experience; it was a healing journey into ancient charm, an exceptional choice for anyone visiting Beijing.

This hotel is really unique! If you're visiting Beijing, you absolutely have to experience a traditional Old Beijing courtyard. The courtyard is cleaned every day and is spotless. You can even sit there and have tea, which is very relaxing and comfortable. The front desk staff are also incredibly welcoming. The location is super convenient, close to everything. Both taxis and the subway are easily accessible. The breakfast is decent, pretty standard, and caters to most tastes. Overall, it was a very comfortable stay, and I highly recommend it!

I was initially worried about the negative reviews regarding the inconvenient taxi access, but after staying here, I think it's fantastic, especially the shadow puppet show – it left a lasting impression! I truly love this intangible cultural heritage. Plus, Ms. Amy helped me with my luggage when I checked out, and also when I checked in. She's great!

The hotel is in Hutongli. The walking distance from Jishuitan Hospital Navigation to the main road to the hospital is a bit far. The girl at the front desk was very helpful. She even upgraded the double bed to a twin bed for free. When I went to the hospital, the girl showed me the path. It's much closer. The sanitary conditions of the hotel are pretty good. There is no breakfast, but the surrounding area is very convenient for eating. However, the price is much higher during the tourist season than usual. We stayed for ten and a half months and the price-performance ratio was not high. We checked out after staying for one day.

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!

Overall, it was a great experience! The staff were all very friendly. The location is right in the city center, and I'd recommend using a bicycle to get around. They also offer a huge breakfast every day. It was very pleasant staying here and getting a feel for old Beijing.

Great value for money, and it's quite close to Shichahai. The best part is that you can park shared bikes in the hutong, so you can just hop on and ride whenever you want, which is really convenient. It's lovely to leisurely cycle to Shichahai in the evening to enjoy the breeze and the scenery. The hotel service is also good.

曾經的王府，如今可以入住的四合院，離南鑼鼓巷很近，非常鬧中取靜，將經理的安排發給朋友，朋友説：感覺像大活動，觀影體驗絕佳，環境音效，露台餐正好趕上晚霞，讓人流連忘返，餐廳主管不光安排美食，還幫忙留下美景，一直有的四合院情節，完美！

A thin man, who should be the store manager, has a very good service attitude. It rained heavily on the day of check-in, and the check-out was late. The store manager personally helped coordinate the room and upgraded the room. He was very enthusiastic and considerate of customers! The family room we stayed in was not big, but the sanitary environment was OK. After all, it is a place where every inch of land is worth money. It is not far from Zhang Zizhong subway station, Dongsi Street, and Nanluoguxiang. There are also many restaurants near the hotel, which is quite convenient.
