I arrived on foot from Dongsi Metro Station (line 5) as I had only a light wheelie suitcase. 5 minute walk to the hotel, (walk north then take 4th alleyway to the east - it was labelled in pinyin). Good: Friendly staff who speak English, upgraded to larger room as it was quiet. Charmingly decorated rooms, clean, free internet on... More

I loved my 3 nights at the Double Happiness hotel, it was such a great change from staying at the fancy Western style hotels in Chongqing and Chengdu. I didn't want to leave! One word of advice - make sure you have the hotel address/name written in Chinese when you land in Beijing... I only had it written in English... More

I stayed for 4 nights just before the Lunar New Year. The hotel is located in older Beijing and has a great atmosphere. The rooms were extremely clean, and very well appointed. The access to the hotel is a narrow alley-way (like a Hutang) and the hotel has a modest entryway. The hotel is set up where all the rooms... More

As mentioned in all the other posts, the hotel itself is lovely, the rooms are unique and comfortable and the staff very friendly. Even with all these qualities, I am still hesitant to recommend to other travelers. My flight arrived very late on Friday night, well past midnight, and I could tell at the airport that the taxi driver had... More

As noted in the reviews, staff were extremely friendly and helpful and really made us feel at home. They also helped us make some bookings and gave us advice. It looked like... More

One complain still, is that we booked family room through their website, but we got the smaller room (we are 4), we saw other family rooms were much bigger than ours, also they forgot to keep the baby cot as requested so we had no baby cot for the...

This hotel already has a lot of excellent reviews which are well deserved. I stayed in November 2011 and was delighted with the quaint room, the peaceful courtyard, wonderful and friendly staff, and quiet location. The breakfast is good, lots to choose from. Short walk to a subway station (the subway in Beijing is super cheap and easy to use).... More

Really enjoyed our stay. The hotel is a reasonable walking distance (it took us about 25 minutes) from the Forbidden City and Tiananmen Square. The room was clean and comfortable, with a nice outside sitting area (unfortunately, it was a bit too cool to sit outside in November). There was actually a PC with an Internet connection in our room!... More

+ this is quite simply great hotel...has a character, great staff, great breakfast, comfortable rooms. If you are looking for Chinese character acommodation, look no further. Do ask them for good food recommendation just down the road on same road....can not remember the name but it was Yunan. Fantastic. Keep your nerve when going walking first time down the alley...we...
