Beijing Dongcheng District Hotels

An absolute 10/10 stay! We genuinely loved The Yard and would happily stay here again. The customer service was top-notch, every staff member we encountered was warm, friendly and incredibly helpful. The hotel itself has so much character. The traditional exterior is absolutely gorgeous, especially when the red lanterns light up at night, while inside our room was surprisingly spacious, cozy and beautifully decorated. We loved having a proper bathtub, the hot water worked perfectly throughout our stay, and housekeeping was excellent. Fresh towels, bottled water and other necessities were replenished daily, which we really appreciated. The location was another highlight! Step outside and you’re immediately surrounded by a lively street filled with shops and so much amazing street food, which we absolutely adored. Comfortable, welcoming, full of character and a wonderful base for exploring Beijing. Thank you to the lovely staff for making our stay so memorable!

Apart from the renovation which we were told beforehand, the room we had was dark (probably because it was a windowless room), humid, aircon wasn’t strong but they provided a fan. Could smell urine even with the toilet seat covered, toilet door was closed, to a point that i was awaken by the foul smell. Had to spray perfume to have it barely covered. Ventilation was super bad. Cons aside, service was good, fridge in room had free drinks. Would recommend to book a window room if you had to even though friend that stayed in the window room said it was bad too. There’s a mall few minutes walk away which was a plus. Good view on the reception floor too.

This guesthouse, tucked away in a hutong, is the former residence of Edgar Snow and perfectly captures the old Beijing hutong charm. I stayed at Beijing Zhong An Hotel for three days, and my overall experience was excellent. The hotel staff were warm and attentive; one of the service guys even helped me carry my luggage to the room. During my stay, I saw many foreign guests, which created a great atmosphere. The breakfast, especially, was a highlight. It was a Western and Chinese buffet with a rich variety of authentic dishes, catering to both Chinese breakfast preferences and Western light meals. The hotel's location is also superb, close to Beijing Railway Station. There's a small alleyway from the hutong that leads you to the hotel in about a hundred meters, and it's also very near Tiananmen Square, making transportation incredibly convenient. Overall, it's great value for money and highly recommended.

Facilities: The room has a washing machine and a refrigerator, which is quite convenient for summer trips. The lobby has a microwave and luggage storage is available. You need to swipe your card to enter the elevator. There are no delivery robots, so you have to go downstairs to pick up your food.

I had such a lovely experience staying at this hotel. Everything was great from start to finish, but what really stood out was the staff. Overall, I had a wonderful stay and left with a very positive impression. I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone visiting the area and would happily choose to stay here again on a future trip. A big thank you to the whole team for making my stay so enjoyable!

## Facilities The facilities were quite comprehensive. I was only in Beijing for an overnight stay, but the room was clean and hygienic, with a luggage rack and a place to hang clothes. ## Hygiene It was clean, and the cleaning was thorough. ## Environment To the north, there's a garden with a fountain. Everything was good, except for the slightly small room (though I knew the size when booking). ## Service The front desk staff were warm and attentive. Everything was great, except for the call I received rushing me to write a review after check-out. I had already informed them during check-out not to send a drink and that I would write a review when I had time, as I had a train to catch to Tianjin that afternoon. Being rushed to write a review while sightseeing in Tianjin was a very unpleasant experience. Does a review expire if it's written a few days later? Or does it cause some kind of loss for you? ## Special Compliment: Breakfast The breakfast was excellent every day. The auntie clearing tables was quick and even helped us find seats. The beef noodles and small wontons at the noodle station were delicious, and I had several bowls every day. Other dishes were also good and well-stocked. 6:30-7:30 AM is peak time for foreign guests, but around 7:30 AM, there are quite a few empty seats, though they fill up quickly.

The hotel's location is right in the city center, very close to Metro Lines 3 and 7, making it incredibly convenient to get to all the main attractions. The front desk staff were very enthusiastic and recommended local specialty snacks and supermarkets nearby. There were free cold drinks in the lobby, and room service was prompt and thorough. Before check-in, customer service even asked for our arrival time and turned on the air conditioning in the room in advance – so many thoughtful details! It was a very satisfying stay, definitely full marks!

The location is good, but you either have to order in or take a cab to a location with more food options. The stay is extremely helpful and kind. There are two laundry machines and one dryer so take that into consideration as it can take a while for them to free up. The rooms were as described with only average cleanliness. Overall, we had a comfortable stay with zero problems. The shop next to the entrance charges tourist prices, so beware.

The hotel is centrally located, very close to the subway station, and there are many dining options downstairs. I booked a room with a zero-pressure mattress, and they even upgraded me for free to a corner room with a nice view. The room facilities were clean, but the best part was how comfortable the bed and pillows were, allowing for a good night's sleep. The hotel offers a buffet breakfast with a good variety of choices, and the food tastes great too.

For my trip to Beijing, I specifically chose Beiping Courtyard and stayed in a tatami room. The overall experience exceeded my expectations and was incredibly heartwarming. The courtyard is tucked away in a hutong, offering a quiet escape from the bustling city, exuding the charm of old Beijing. I was lucky to visit in May when the roses were in bloom, which really enhanced the atmosphere. The room was clean and cozy, and the tatami provided a relaxing and comfortable stay. The facilities were complete, and the attention to detail was impressive. The staff were all very friendly and easygoing, providing thoughtful yet unobtrusive service, making me feel as comfortable as if I were staying at a friend's house. The food at the hotel was authentic and delicious, made with quality ingredients. The overall slow pace was very therapeutic, and I had a wonderfully comfortable stay. I'll definitely come back next time I'm in Beijing!
