We will always remember our stay at Le Joy Hotel with great pleasure, and we highly recommend it to anyone visiting Beijing. Thank you, Sunny Yang, for making our trip so special!

This hotel boasts an excellent location, making it super convenient to get around. It's not far from the Temple of Heaven or Niujie. What's even better is the price – it's really fair, and the hygiene and facilities are top-notch. The room is a tad small, but for this price and location in Beijing, you really can't ask for more. I've stayed in Beijing a few times now, and every time my experience here has been great.

The room layout is well-designed and cozy, and the staff are incredibly nice. The hotel is super convenient for getting to Tiananmen Square, the Forbidden City, and the National Museum by subway; it's only about a three-minute walk to the nearest station. This is my third time in Beijing, and I just realized that the subway is by far the easiest way to reach Tiananmen Square and the National Museum. Don't be fooled into thinking Didi (ride-hailing) is convenient for these spots! Taking a Didi to the National Museum or Tiananmen Square is a terrible idea. Drivers can't drop you off directly at these attractions and will leave you a mile or two away. I ended up walking with my kid for 20 minutes in the scorching heat, sweating buckets, just trying to navigate there. Meanwhile, there's a subway station right next to the National Museum... it's incredibly convenient!

Traveling with a child and also here for a concert, the hotel's location is super convenient. You can just take the subway directly, and it's close to all the attractions. We visited Tiananmen Square and the Forbidden City, which gave us a taste of the capital's atmosphere. Elena at the front desk gave my child a hawthorn bear gift, which made them very happy. We also stored our luggage after checking out.

The front desk lady had an excellent service attitude; she even showed us to our room after check-in. The room was nice, bright, clean, and quiet. The hotel is super convenient, just tens of meters from the Beijing West Railway Station entrance and the subway station. There are also several restaurants nearby. It's perfect for both sightseeing and catching a train.

My mom and I were on a business trip and quickly booked a room at this hotel, which looked pretty unassuming, as it was the only one left. There's a Walmart nearby, and it's a short walk to the subway station. What really stood out was the security – three locks on the door from the main entrance to the room, plus a security booth at the street corner, which made us feel very safe. The lobby has vending machines for snacks and a cozy reading area. Our room was spotless, much cleaner than other chain hotels in the same price range. The bathroom had a great wet/dry separation, and the bedding was comfortable with good quality pillows. Overall, it's even better than some hotels costing over 700 a night, like the Atour. I'll definitely stay here again if I'm in the area for business.

The rooms are few, the courtyard isn't big, and the room itself is tiny. The courtyard view is nothing special, and the second-floor terrace doesn't offer any appealing scenery. The alley it's located in is also quite ordinary, and getting a car in or out is very difficult. It really just feels like a guesthouse in a hutong. There was only one staff member at the front desk who often seemed overwhelmed. I added them on WeChat beforehand, but their responses to my questions were unenthusiastic and lacked much useful information. It was clear they were new and inexperienced. The breakfast variety was sufficient, but a staff member was playing videos loudly on their phone right next to us, which was quite noisy. Unless you have a strong desire to experience a siheyuan or are particularly fond of hutongs, I'd recommend choosing a larger, properly managed hotel with more professional staff. One experience here was enough.

I wanted to experience a *hutong* (traditional alleyway) and chose this place based on its 5-star reviews. The location is incredibly convenient, offering a quiet escape in a bustling, prime area. The decor is unique, and they've managed to create a charming, deep courtyard within a small space – truly thoughtful design that deserves praise. Part of the hotel was still under renovation. I saw photos of a rooftop terrace in other reviews, but when I went up, there was nothing there yet. The internet surprisingly went out until late at night on the day we checked in. The reason given was ”a problem with the main line in the hutong,” which I assume was an isolated incident – perhaps just part of our hutong experience. They provide six bottles of water and two soft drinks for free in the room, and the Arctic Ocean soda was delicious, so kudos for that! However, there were no tea bags or coffee sachets. The tea was loose-leaf in a small, pretty jar, but for something you consume, I did wonder about the hygiene. Here are some suggestions: 1. Indicate which rooms have softer mattresses and which have firmer ones, offering guests a choice. Not everyone likes a soft bed, and comfort in sleep is more important than a unique or beautiful room design. 2. Since all the power outlets are flat-pin (two-prong) only, I recommend providing adapters or power strips with round-pin (two-pin) sockets. It's really inconvenient otherwise. Coming back at night and realizing you can't charge your devices – do you really expect guests to order their own adapters or power strips for same-day delivery? Beijing is an international metropolis, and people come from all over the world, so providing a few would be much more convenient.

Review from a non-chinese tourist. Pros: location, low to almost none level of noise, cleanliness. Cons: no one can assist you in english, breakfast (if you’re not chinese or adapted to local food). It’s right next to Beijing West Railway station, so multiple malls, shops, cafes etc available. When I was checking in I was given key to a wrong room - someone else was already staying there. I understand mistakes happen but after 20 hrs of travel it’s hard. The biggest dissapointment was the breakfast: it said that it’s buffet with chinese and western food. In reality almost no food that you would normally eat for breakfast, lots of chinese food (I wouldn’t have problem with it if it wasn’t so greasy - it’s just not the best for starting your day). Overall - good for the price and location.

The hotel's location is fantastic, making it super convenient for getting around and finding places to eat. The front desk staff were wonderfully gentle and welcoming, and check-in and check-out were handled quickly and efficiently. The room was spotless and tidy, with no unpleasant odors. The bedding was soft and comfortable, ensuring a great night's sleep. The soundproofing was also good, so I slept very soundly. The bathroom facilities were complete, with plenty of hot water, and the toiletries were high quality. The public areas were clean and elegant, and the overall environment was quiet and peaceful. This place offers incredible value for money. The front desk even gave me a bottle of water when I checked out. I'll definitely choose this hotel again next time I visit Beijing.
