Mysigt genuint Kinesiskt Hotell.

Trevligt litet genuint Kinesiskt hotell i gammal Kinesisk stil! Bekvämt och ganska nära Förbjudna staden och torget. Varmt och ombonat trotts den kalla årstiden. Mysigt för par resan men kanske inte det hotellet jag skulle stanna lång tid på. Endast kinesisktalande personal men de löste det brilliant och servade oss perfekt med översättningsappar i deras telefoner.

Boutique hotel in the hutongs

The hotel is fantastically located just a short walk from Tiananmen Square, the Forbidden Palace and the rest of central Beijing. Our room was tiny, but that's the price to be paid for a boutique room in a traditional hutong building and you can't argue with the price for this location. The staff were helpful, the room was clean and had everything we needed and breakfast was fine. The courtyard is beautiful and peaceful away from the noise of Beijing.

No water for shower... Nightmare!!!

Nice design for the traditional Chinese style. Yet the bathroom is a nightmare, there is too little water to take a proper shower. The staff said the water pressure is always so low among all rooms... the price a totally overstated for a comfortable night after a long day trip...

Older Colonial Guest House, Kind helpful staff and close to the square also a good price.

This is a great place if you are wanting an authentic Beijing environment. The staff was very helpful and available. I liked the Chinease breakfast served. I was offered an upgrade and was happy with that. The room was charming and cozy. The walls and beams were on the dusty side. Overall, I liked the Hill Lily Guest House for an authentic old Beijing experience.

Not a winter hotel.

We were located right next to Tiananmen Square which is close to everything. The rooms are open to the Courtyard which in cold weather is challenging. They do have sufficient heaters in the rooms but it had to run constantly to keep up. If you want to stay here, pay for the better rooms because the cheapest room is barely larger than the bed. There was no dressers or place to put luggage open so we stayed packed in the suitcase the entire visit. The other rooms here were larger so it was just the smallest room that was an issue. The staff were pleasant and it is a nice place and well maintained. Overall it was a good stay with limitations I've listed.

we loved this traditional courtyard guesthouse. super helpful and polite staff, not much English spoken but my mandarin is pitiful and we managed just fine with Google translate. easy place to find, a short walk from hepingmen metro, great neighbourhood and close to main sights. we loved the gorgeous room, the peaceful atmosphere and the lovely rabbits in the courtyard who greeted us every morning. definitely coming back to Beijing and I'll be returning here 100%

특별한 경험을 하기에 좋지만, 그만큼 불편함이 있음. 한 번 경험으로 충분.

유니크한 호텔. 3개의 객실타입이 있는데, 가장 작은 방은 정말 작아서 트렁크도 펼칠 수 없음. 그래서 현지에서 중간방으로 업그레이드. 한국에서 경함할 수 없는 분위기라 시도는 했지만, 여러모로 불편함. 편안하고 안락한 호텔을 원한다면 대형체인의 호텔을 추천. 가격대비 비싸고 불편하며 특히 겨울에는 샤워가 힘들정도로 추움.

Dette er ikke et hotel men en fælde

Det værste "hotel" ever! Man kan ikke kalde det et hotel. Vi havde bestilt 3 vætelser to enkelte og et dobbelt, og det havde vi betalt for. Men dobbeltværelset måtte vi betale 1400 yang ekstra for. Alt var møgbeskidt, strømmen gik hver gang vi skulle oplade telefon eller tørre hår. Vandet i toilettet forsvandt og man kunne ikke komme papir i toilettet. Der var ingen skabe så vi måtte have vores ting i kufferten. De to som havde enkeltværelse måtte sove med frakker på da det var så koldt på værelserne. Morgenmaden, to ristet brød og et spejlæg, blev indtaget i et iskoldt glasbur, så vi sad med frakker og tørklæder. Kaffen var kold og de ville have ekstra betalt for teen. Hver gang vi klagede trak de bare på skulderne. Vi havde bestilt 7 nætter, men vi flyttede efter en nat. Vi havde store problemer med at få de penge tilbage som vi havde betalt ekstra for dobbeltværelset. Det endte med at vi måtte betale for to nætter. Det kostede os 10.500 kr. for nye værelser plus 700 kr. for at ringe til Hotels.com. Så det var en meget dyr hotelregning vi måtte betale for. Jeg har klaget til Hotels.com og bedt om kompensation men de har kun reageret med at de har modtaget min mail :0(((

落ち着いて滞在できる胡同ホテル

Roomに３泊しました。胡同の路地にある静かなホテルで建物は古いですが雰囲気があり、内部は清潔でしっかり清掃も行き届いています。部屋は狭いですがベッドが広くて一人旅には必要十分でした。ただしデポジットの現金３００元は事前にきちんと告知しておくべきです。また、ウェブサイト上に「浴槽またはシャワー」とあったため浴槽を希望していたのですがシャワーしかありませんでした。繁華街からは離れていますが駅から徒歩５分程度で、地下鉄で周辺に簡単にアクセスできます。通りには飲食店も点在し便利。ホテルスタッフと話をしたときに「八達嶺よりも良いよ。」と勧めてくれた慕田峪長城は本当に素晴らしかった。全体的に満足の行く滞在でした。

Hotel, Beijing Centrum

Beliggenheden er fin, meget tæt på metrolinie 2 og derfor let at komme til og fra. Området er tæt på shoppingområdet Dashilar og fine Hutongområder. Hotellet havde desværre ikke min booking fra hotels.com, selv om denne var bekræftet to gange fra hotels.com, men personalet var venlige og fandt hurtigt et andet hotel til mig og hjalp mig med transporten dertil - dog i helt andet område af Beijing, hvilket gav daglig større transporttid end beregnet.Opholdet blev pga. den manglende registrering af min booking afbrudt med 3 nætter på et sted (faktisk bedre hotel)og 2 nætter på hotellet her - absolut ikke optimalt, da mit ønske netop var 5 samlede nætter. Hotellet forlangte endvidere et depositum på 200 Yuan ved ankomst til dækning af evt. skader på værelset, hvilket jeg ikke havde forventet.der er kinesisk morgenmad inkluderet, hvilket jeg fravalgte, da det ikke tiltalte mig.

Ich erwartete ein nettes Courtyard-Hotel im Zentrum Pekings. Das Zimmer war sehr klein, fand ich aber akzeptabel, weil der Innenhof mitbenutzt werden konnte.

Chinesisches Boutique Hotel

Wir haben unter einem Courtyard Hotel gebucht und unsere Erwartungshaltungshaltung des Hotels war daher etwas höher. das Hotelzimmer bestand aus einem kleinem Raum mit angrenzendem Bad. Eine Treppenstiege nach oben führte zu den Schlafzimmer. Dort lag eine große Matraze auf den Boden. Fernseher gab es unter sowie oben, ob diese funktionieren, kann ich nicht beurteilen. Klimaanlage vorhanden. Das Bad sauber, das Frühstück sehr reduziert. Die Hotelumgebung nicht schön! Wir werden dort nicht mehr einchecken.

北京の下町風情が漂う上級者用ホテル

国家芸劇院に最も近い理由で一人で2泊利用しました。胡同（細い路地）地区で昭和30年代を思わせる佇まいの路地に、まさかここにホテル？と思わせる約10室程度の小ホテル。中庭を中心に客室があり（２Ｆ建）、いかにも中国らしさを感じさせせます。ただし、セキュリティはしっかりしており、24時間出入り可能。天安門広場や地下鉄駅にも近く、拠点として利用するには最適でした。真の北京の現実を知ることができ印象的な旅ができました。

oas i hektisk storstad

Fascinerande liten oas i hektisk storstad- Glad över att ha bott i de gamla hutongerna medan de ännu finns kvar. Suveränt läge när man förstått var man var, vid Förbjudna staden efter bara några minuters promenad. Vänlig engelsktalande receptionist. Rummet väldigt litet. God frukost,anpassad till västerländsk smak ( men det går att få asiatisk touch också). Svårt att hitta hotellet eftersom det var fel utmärkt på hotels.com kartan. Mycket hjälpsam kines ringde hotellet och guidade oss personligen 20 minuters vandring genom hutongen för att hitta rätt. Syntes bara som stor röd dörr mot gränden.Hade aldrig gissat att det rymdes ett hotell där innanför.

A big disappointment

For our stay in Beijing we decided to ignore the 'western' hotels and opted for a courtyard experience. Unfortunately it was a disappointing one. The photos make the place look pretty fantastic but don't be fooled by them. The hotel is clean but somewhat shabby - I wouldn't categorise it as anything other than a basic B&B, or maybe a hostel offering private rooms. This in itself isn't that bad - if you want a courtyard hotel experience then the Elite Hutong has plenty of character and charm. However, it is horrifically over-priced for what you get. We stayed in other 4-star western hotels in China for less than half the price we paid for this place. If it charged a third of what it does then it would be fine. Way, way too expensive!
