As other reviewers have said, this is an old building with charming Chinese rooms down a hutong but what made it special for us was the staff. Jaclyn on the desk is extremely efficient, helpful and very pleasant. Alan, one of the bellman fixed our broken suitcase and even took us and all our luggage in a rickshaw about a... More

The hutong areas in Beijing are growing smaller and smaller and the chance to stay in an original courtyard setting is an experience that shouldn't be missed. Well priced with a great location for exploring the Forbidden City area and beyond. The rooms were beautifully decorated with traditional art and had a warm, homely feel. We felt more like house...

The hotel is within reasonable walking distance of Dongsi subway stop, the rooms were clean and comfortable, and the courtyards atmospheric of times gone-by. We had a larger family room which included our own large, private balcony overlooking the lane. The breakfast choices... More

This hotel, with it's Chinese bedspreads and curtains, furniture, lanterns and décor, could not make the Beijing experience more authentic. It only has 32 rooms, and each is unique and situated around a delightful little courtyard. This is a refreshing change from the big, sterile business hotels. There were abundant staff, and all were extremely helpful and friendly. It was... More

I loved this place. Right by a subway terminal and still quietly tucked back in a great Hu tong. It has excellent décor and the staff is remarkably helpful. Easy access to the Lama temple (a must see) and the Confucius temple. Getting to Tiananmen Square is a 15-20 minute subway transfer. Definitely go to Ghost Street which is 2... More

As first timers to China we were enchanted with the Double Happiness Courtyard Hotel in Beijing. A delightful hotel in a traditional Hutong that could be straight out of a film, what with its colourful courtyards, lanterns, ceramics and traditionally furnished rooms. Every comfort is taken into account and the wonderful friendly, helpful and efficient service added to our enjoyment.... More
