This hotel is only a few rooms around the family courtyard. I appreciated the chance to experience a genuine old hutong neighbourghood, and the traditional type of house. But be warned, the walls are paper thin, the drains inadequate (this means toilet paper must be binned, not flushed), and the thick Beijing dust penetrates everywhere. Our room was quite spacious,...

We stayed in this lovely courtyard hotel after staying in another courtyard hotel located 5 minutes away. The minute that we stepped into this hotel, i felt that it was different from the other courtyard hotel which we stayed at. The other courtyard hotel was quite lovely but seems more like a hotel, while Cong's Hutong was a very intimate... More

This place is a hidden jewel. I am glad I made the right choice. I booked two rooms. Both room were nicely decorated and clean. The staff were very accommodating and nice. Prior to booking, I email them questions, the owner responded quickly. The location is excellent. Close to metro and shops AND the location is so secluded, you will... More

We spent 5 nights at Cong's after reading reviews in Tripadvisor. Although it is quite a bit more expensive then the norm, its charm and location do compensate for the difference. It is well anointed and maintained by May who is the charming and graceful owner of the hotel. It is a peaceful and quiet refuge from the hustle and... More

A wonderful place to stay. Nice staff, great breakfast and a good location, handy for the forbidden city etc Also, not far from the metro and shops.

Stayed 2 nights here recently and it was more authentic than a chain hotel which can sometimes be faceless. May was brilliant from before we booked till we left helping us with translations for our onward travel plans and advice. This place has been refurbished in true style but with modern touches, everything was very clean and comfortable and the... More

We spent 6 nights here while visiting my son during his semester in Beijing. Our choice to stay here was the best decision of our trip. I can't imagine a better location for seeing all the major sights or getting a sense of what it's like to live in Beijing. I also can't imagine a more charming place to stay.... More

I was very excited to stay at this traditional Hutong courtyard hotel, and I wasn't disappointed. May, the owner, has elegant taste and lovingly restored the Hutong in a way visitors could feel at home. I could've stayed there forever with all the extra little touches and wonderful breakfast. This unique hotel is quiet, centrally located, comfortable, and oozes with... More

This was a great a place to stay. Really gets to the heart of Beijing life. There is bustle of local activity right when you step outside of the hutong, but is extremely quiet inside the courtyard and rooms. The owner was extremely helpful and helped plan out our city adventures. He also spoke very good English as he lived... More
