Kelly's hutong might be a little hard to locate as it is an alley within another alley road! However, once we got inside, we felt like we were transported into another world! We love the attention to details in the environment. It was a successful and interesting blend of traditional Chinese and modern English design. Our rooms had everything we... More

My husband and I spent three nights at Kelly's Courtyard in March 2012 and it was quaint, genuine and welcoming. The rooms were comfortable, other guests conscious of each other but friendly and happy to share a bottle of red wine with you in the courtyard after a big day of amazing sightseeing. Bob was kind, friendly, gentle by nature... More

We really enjoyed our stay at Kelly's. It is a cute and cosy place with lovely decoration and attention to detail. The rooms are comfortable and uniquely decorated. The location is great- not a very touristy area (which we liked), but plenty of restaurants in walking distance and a 5-10 minute walk from the line 4 subway. What really makes... More

We spent 5 nights at Kelly's Courtyard in mid-April and the entire experience was wonderful. From the moment we arrived, we felt welcome and in good hands - Bob (manager) really is a star and was just so friendly and helpful! The hotel is charming, quiet and beautifully decorated in a traditional Chinese style - plus comes with a roof-top... More

I stayed here with my two best friends from the US. We took a three-day trip from HK to Beijing to see the most popular tourist attractions. Kellys Courtyard is adorable--cute vintage furniture in the loby, cozy western-style antiques in the bedrooms, and a friendly staff member named Bob. THANK YOU BOB! He was the most kind, helpful person during... More

Got to learn of Kelly's Courtyard (KC) through a friend and booked ourselves here for 5 nights. Location: It was a little hard to locate the place while lugging two huge suitcases and the alleys look the same but we noticed little signs that led us to KC. KC is tucked somewhere in the alleys but is within walking distance... More

Can't be beaten for service-'Bob', (his English name) the lovely chap running the place, became a friend by the end of our stay-beyond helpful. Others have explained it's traditional location just a short walk from the subway, charming features, competitive prices...etc. Stay here, simple

Pros: 10 minutes walk to nearby subways (XiSi or Lingjing Hutong) Friendly and helpful caretaker and owner, capable to communicate in English Clean and noise free environment Free WIFI internet Warm and cosy during the winter Fast to response via email Big indoor courtyard, a common room and a roof top to chill out Cons: Not the typical outdoor hutongs...

So I know what I am talking about when I say this. This is a very special house, a real home away from home. And this is due to the extreme kindness and generousity of Zheng and Kelly and all the really friendly staff. It is located in a genuine Beijing hutong close to 2 subway stations and to some... More
