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.

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.

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 is a very special place that is full of character, almost reminiscent of the hotels from ancient China. The building is inside a Hutong surrounded by century old houses that local beijing’ers still live in, you’ll see cucumber vines and swallow nests on neighbors front doors as you walk around the neighborhood. The hotel staff are very friendly and helpful, you will get to know them very quickly and they can answer all kinds of questions and help you navigate Beijing. The rooms are small, as expected in this part of Beijing, but the rooms are clean, our room even have a Kang, which is a traditional Chinese bed, in addition to the normal beds. If you are looking for a quiet and clean place in the heart of the city, and feel what it is like to be living in old Beijing like a local, this is the place for you!

Very good location near Gulou Dajie subway station. Nice courtyard that made me feel like going back to the Ming dynasty era. The best part is the staff. All staffs are very friendly and helpful. They helped me in transportation, ordering food delivery, recommending many interesting places and Hutong. Their recommendations are very helpful to save my time and effort in the heat in Beijing summer. The service is world class. Highly recommended!

The most delightful accommodation during my trip to Beijing was the Lijing Prince Gong Mansion Courtyard Hotel. Tucked away in a bustling hutong, stepping into the courtyard immediately shields you from the noise. The traditional architecture, with its blue bricks and red corridors, exudes the authentic ambiance of a princely residence. The night views are especially stunning and perfect for photos. The location is impeccable, just a few steps from Prince Gong Mansion, and incredibly convenient for exploring Houhai and Nanluoguxiang. The rooms are meticulously clean, and the amenities are top-notch, featuring smart temperature control throughout, a separate wet and dry area in the bathroom, and a comfortable mattress that ensured a great night's sleep after a day of travel. The staff are warm and attentive, making the check-in process efficient and seamless. I enjoyed relaxing in the courtyard, sipping tea and soaking in the authentic atmosphere of old Beijing's hutongs. With its blend of ancient charm and modern comfort, balancing sentiment and quality, this hotel offers a perfect experience. I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone visiting 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.

This is a great hotel, excellent value for money. Experiencing a traditional courtyard hotel (Siheyuan) for this price was definitely worth it. The room was clean, and the front desk staff were warm and polite. The hotel 'auntie' (staff member) was young and hospitable; we chatted like old friends, just like being at a relative's home. The breakfast was also plentiful and delicious. Highly recommend!

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.
