A cosy retreat in the city
Pros:

Very cosy accommodation with clean, quiet rooms and comfortable beds. There was no smoking smell. Location is good too - near Lama Temple, two subway lines and a main road. Staff are very friendly and try their best to accommodate requests. You can use their breakfast area to eat at other times if you order delivery. They also offer free basic laundry.

Cons:

Not much space in the rooms for luggage, but we had a double room and managed with 3 mid-sized bags. The shower and toilet are only separated from the wash basin by a shower door, and the wash basin is only separated from the room by a hanging mirror. Have to walk through an open courtyard from the room to the , so not great when it rains, but they can provide umbrellas.

This boutique hotel provides a very pleasant stay with exceptional service by every staff.
Pros:

It is more like a B&B experience with its location being in a residential area - very clean, well kept and well run.

Cons:

It’s a 10-15 min walk to the subway. Taxis may not enter the alley as it is not broad.

Pros:

Все было очень хорошо, особенно нас удивили завтраки, никакого шведского стола, просто большое колличество блюд на каждый стол)) (около 7-9 блюд, вместе с десертами), голодными так никто не останеться. Было очень приятно, нам приносили два раза вэлком в виде фруктовой тарелки при заселении, а также клубники в шоколаде вечером, в номер.
Очень приветливый и дружелюбный персонал. Сам номер очень автоматизирован, шторы, освящение, унитаз и др. Отличная шумоизоляция, все номера выходят в общий маленький двор колодязь. Сам отель находиться на центральной, туристической улице, от нее удобно добираться в разные части района и города, рядом есть метро (10 минут пешком), так же вся улица в фэнси кафейнях и булочных.
При выселении, девушки с ресепшена подарили нам два брелочка, которые сделали сами, с иероглифами о лучших пожеланиях для каждого, просто умиление. Однозначно рекомендуем этот отель!

Pros:

Struttura molto accogliente e situata in un punto strategico di Pechino, a 100mt dal Tempio dei Lama. Personale molto accogliente e cortese, ci hanno offerto anche una colazione extra perché siamo arrivati la mattina presto ed il check in era al pomeriggio. In realtà ci hanno fatto trovare subito la camera pronta.

Even better that I expected. Excellent hotel. Fantastic staff
Pros:

Pleasant ambience,quiet and convenient location at a traditional hutong style Chinese hotel but most of all the hotel staff, especially Jenni who made sure I was being looked after. Nothing was too much trouble and the help given was accurate and useful. It was a pleasure to be welcomed every time I returned to my room

Cons:

No complaints whatsoever.

A fantastic Hutong experience in Beijing!
Pros:

Hotel located down a narrow street of Hutongs, giving you the ultimate immersive experience as you arrive. We arrived early 5.30am and were greeted warmly by Yuki who offerred us a generous well cooked breakfast, included in the room rate, Later we met the rest of the staff including Fufu, Jenny and Colin who were all super friendly and kind and great with assisting us with directions, they all spoke English fluently which helped a lot. The rooms are quiet, large and modern and the bed is super comfortable and there is no noise, which ensures a restful night in a very, very clean room. The mini bar is free and replenished daily generously. We loved the virtual assistant home smart system, but we could not speak in Mandarin, lol, but it still was fun with electric curtains and electric toilet etc. Good restaurants that specialise in Peking Duck and Crawfish are just around the corner, and access to the huge subway system is within 100 metres! We would recommend Happy Dragon Courtyard Hotel 100 percent to any of our friends, do not miss this opportunity to stay at such a happy place! The staff are happy to be there and it shows !
