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.

Traveling to Beijing with my child, I specifically chose this place after comparing photos and descriptions to experience staying in a traditional courtyard home (siheyuan). Upon arrival, I found the environment to be elegant, comfortable, and tranquil. Its location at Xinjiekou within the Second Ring Road offers convenient transportation. The siheyuan experience was fantastic! The hotel is relatively new, with high-end and luxurious decor. It has a bathtub, and the mattress was just right – neither too soft nor too hard, very comfortable. In the mornings, there's a delicate buffet breakfast; simple yet diverse, complete, and delicious. The front desk staff (both male and female) were attentive, warm, and gentle. We stayed in a spacious, tidy, comfortable, and bright family room with a courtyard for three nights. Overall, the experience was great, and I'm personally very satisfied. As we are from the South, we plan to return in winter to stay here again and experience the romantic charm of a snowy siheyuan. Looking forward to it!

The hotel is located in a hutong (traditional alleyway), very close to the bus stop; it's right outside the alley. It's about 500 meters from Ping'anli, not too far. There are many small shops around the hotel, including quite a few time-honored brands, so it's definitely benefiting from Ping'anli's reputation, haha. There are also tourist attractions nearby, but I personally suggest visiting them whenever you have a spare moment; no need to specifically queue for them.

Before arriving, I was a bit worried about the cleanliness (even though I'd seen many reviews praising how clean and tidy it was). But when I got to the guesthouse, it was genuinely spotless, from the front desk to the hallways and every corner of the room! In the morning, I even saw staff members on ladders, wiping dust off shelves. The staff were also incredibly attentive; when they cleaned my room and saw my fruit, they left a note reminding me that there's a fridge in the lobby I could use for storage, which was very thoughtful! The auntie at the breakfast restaurant was also very warm-hearted!

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 great, inside one of the famous Hutong, our room is not facing the street so it was quiet. The important thing is that people in the hotel understand and speak English (relieved), outside of the hotel, I hardly met anyone who can understand English (even in Starbucks). They recommended us to local restaurants and other things which we appreciated a lot

Huge thanks to Junhefu for the warm welcome! The courtyard is beautifully serene and elegant, truly capturing the charm of old Beijing's hutongs. It's super convenient for visiting Nanluoguxiang and Houhai. The staff's service attitude was genuinely excellent. We booked two rooms, and one of them had a musty smell due to dampness. The staff patiently helped us check out of that room. Although it was a minor inconvenience, their service deserves high praise. I hope the hotel can improve the damp-proofing issues in their old buildings.

Not far from the subway station, with plenty of food and drink options nearby. The soundproofing is pretty decent, and there are no strange smells in the room. Overall, for this price near Xinjiekou, it's a very good deal.

The former Wangfu, the courtyard house that can be accommodated now, is very close to Nanluoguxiang, very quiet in the middle of noisy, sent the manager's arrangement to a friend, the friend said: It feels like a big event, the movie viewing experience is excellent, the environment sound effect, the terrace meal just catches up with the sunset, let people linger, The restaurant supervisor not only arranges food, but also helps to leave beautiful scenery. There have always been a courtyard plot, perfect!

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.
