The hotel itself is an authentic Chinese courtyard hotel, down a side street and laid out around a beautiful courtyard, which has the richness of detail of traditional Chinese architecture. It is very handy to a nearby subway station, the hutong area and the buzzy lake front area where it meets the hutongs. It is not as slickly run as... More

We had stayed at this hotel for 3 nights. They rooms were dark and dreary. They beds were very very hard and the pillows felt like they had sand in them. The cleanliness was not up to par. We chose to walk around wtih flip flops to keep our feet clean. The shower made the water get everywhere on the... More

You could stay in a high rise fancy hotel and be anywhere in the world.... This hotel makes you realise you're right in the heart of Beijing. It was clean and cheap. We stayed in the main block, not a courtyard room and it was reasonable. Small room, typical hard bed, air con, heating, 2 bottles free water and Chinese... More

the hotel lobby is pretty with traditional chiese decoration. We have a standard room and it is small and a bit old. The worst thing is after my friend finished bath. There is still no hot water and the staff said I have to wait more 15 mins. But 30 mins past away there is still no hot water for... More

I like this hotel. The place is very authentic and not like all of the other cookie cutter hotels. The price is very reasonable. We were fortunate to get bumped to a suite which was very nice for the first night. The standard building rooms are smaller and have a small bathroom, but are overall comfortable. The shower gets hot... More

Excellent quaint Hutong Alley Courtyard Hotel. We booked this hotel, because of our desire to stay in the Hutong Alley District of Beijing. Keep in mind this hotel has a character of its own, and it cannot be compared with a modern hotel. The Soluxe Courtyard Hotel, is absolutely a charming clean hotel. The rooms are appropriate to the age... More

We liked the place. The biggest complaint would be the awful Internet connection you get at the hotel. There's an Ethernet cable in the room which was not useful for us. We were hoping for wifi. Their business room provides computer with sloooow connection (I am guessing it's dial up) at $1rmb per 6 minutes. I got on and none... More

Nice 'Si He Yuan'. It's great to at least experience once how is it like to stay in a 'Si He Yuan'. The hotel is within 1 minute walk to the 'Gu Lou Da Jie' MRT station which makes it a perfectly convenient stay. Prices are very reasonable. They have almost everything, except WIFI. Internet access is wired and charges... More

I have been traveling to Beijing for thirty years and this is by far my favorite place to stay. The courtyard is a tranquil setting contrasting to the busy hutong life just around the corner. The rooms are comfortable and cool in the summer. Why stay at a generic hotel in Beijing when you can stay in a hotel that... More
