Hotels in Houhai Area, Beijing

In terms of service, this is one of the best hotels I’ve experienced in China thus far. We had an issue with a reservation made through the hotel with the restaurant located within the hotel. The restaurant is run by a different operator from the hotel. The hotel manager’s service recovery was excellent even though it was not entirely the hotel’s fault. He sincerely apologised and patiently listened to our complaints while standing outside our room in the cold winter night. The front desk voluntarily offered us a choice of free warm drinks upon our return to the hotel, which made us feel comforted by their hospitality, especially after we had spent a long day outside in the cold wet weather. It’s soft touches like this which leaves a long lasting good impression in customers’ minds.

We absolutely loved our stay at Junhefu Courtyard Hotel. The staff went above and beyond in every way. We have a toddler who is a serious fruit lover, and every time she cleared the fruit plate in our room, they would restock it without hesitation. It was such a small gesture, but it showed how thoughtful and attentive they are. Honestly, I would stay again just for the service alone. And the location—wow. Don’t underestimate what the Hutongs have to offer! Staying here ended up being the highlight of our trip. Wandering the surrounding alleyways was magical: authentic, full of life, and best of all, incredibly safe. If you want to truly feel the cultural heart of Beijing, this is the place to stay. A small note for light sleepers: the rooms aren’t very sound insulated, so noise can travel. We managed fine with our toddler thanks to a sound machine, but it’s worth being aware of. Overall, we would absolutely book again. A beautiful cultural experience with some of the kindest staff we’ve ever encountered.

The room was clean and had a small living area, perfect for entertaining friends. If you're sensitive to cold, you can turn on the air conditioning. The service was excellent, with friendly staff who helped with luggage whenever we came and went. I even forgot medicine in the fridge and had to go back for it; the front desk attendant quickly helped me retrieve it from the room. Location: Shichahai is right outside, making it super convenient for eating and exploring. They also have two adorable cats, Dou Dou and Dou Bao. The only minor downside is that you have to walk to Gulou Street to catch a taxi. But that's the price you pay for experiencing the hutongs and pedestrian streets, which is totally worth it!

The hotel's location is super convenient, just over 100 meters from both Line 2 and Line 8 subway stations. The front desk staff were friendly; they even offered us a complimentary white fungus soup when we checked in. When we mentioned we were going for hot pot lamb, they gave us a great recommendation. The taste was excellent! The room itself was quite small and compact. The chair was too low and not suitable for doing work. There was no flush button in the bathroom. The hygiene was good, but the mattress was a bit soft. The breakfast didn't have many varieties, but the taste was decent. Soundproofing wasn't great; one side of the room faced the Second Ring Road, which could be noisy. Handicrafts were chargeable, but the next morning, there was a whole table full of stamps at the front desk.

The hotel was very pleasant offering great service. The main reason I chose this hotel was because of how near it is to 南锣鼓巷 filled with food stalls and souvenir shops. I was really relieved about how clean the toilet. The toilet is divided into two individuals (toilet bowl & shower pipe) which is seperated by a door. The bedroom was cosy with a big television which my kids really enjoyed with. Overall, great experience. Receptionist are friendly and patient. Good breakfast also.

The room was small with very limited space for belongings, which was inconvenient for travelers with a lot of luggage or personal items. The shower's glass door didn't close properly, causing water to spray out during showers. The sink faucet was positioned too far forward, making it awkward to wash hands and face. Also, the toilet paper holder was poorly placed, causing the entire roll to easily fall to the floor. The floors had quite a bit of dust and hair. On the plus side, the location is near a city center subway station, making it very convenient for visiting popular attractions.

Facilities: The facilities are complete and in good condition, and the room equipment is well-maintained. Hygiene: Both the room and the hotel are clean and tidy. The staff are busy cleaning all day, which shows the business is good. Environment: Located on Old Gulou Street, it's very close to the subway station, Bell and Drum Tower, Shichahai, and other attractions. Transportation is very convenient, and there are many food markets. It's a great place to stay for tourists, offering a quiet retreat in a bustling area.

Choosing the right hotel when traveling with kids is so important! This place is simply amazing. They had children's picture books and small toys ready in the room beforehand, which kept my baby entertained from the moment we checked in. For breakfast, there were special kids' utensils, and the server even brought a small cake for my child. The hotel is only a 10-minute walk from the scenic area, and free parking is super convenient. The bathroom also has safety grab bars, which is a great relief for older family members traveling with children. The staff were incredibly patient with the kids, always greeting us with a smile. I'll definitely choose this hotel again for our next family trip with my parents!

This hotel was really great, especially since I was traveling with my child and it was Christmas. As soon as we walked in, we were greeted warmly, and check-in was super convenient. They practically fed us tea and snacks as soon as we arrived! 😂 They also personally escorted us to our room, explaining all the features and facilities. The hygiene was excellent; my child played barefoot on the floor, and it wasn't dirty at all. All in all, this hotel in Beijing was a fantastic recommendation for our trip!

This is a great hotel, within walking distance of both bus and subway stations. The hotel's front entrance isn't very conspicuous though; I walked past it twice before finding the place. It's also within walking distance of the Drum Tower, Shichahai, Guijie Street, and Yonghe Temple. The facilities are quite new, which was one of the reasons I chose it, based on the renovation date. It's excellent. I ordered takeout a few times, and having a robot deliver it to my room was very convenient. When I checked in, they mentioned my room was a bit small, and it indeed wasn't huge, but for one person, it was just right. The only downside was that the window faced a fire escape, which meant a lack of privacy, but I understand that's unavoidable. The hotel doesn't offer meals, but there are plenty of local restaurants nearby, as well as fast-food options like McDonald's and a 7-Eleven. Another reason I chose this hotel was the availability of laundry and drying machines. If you buy bento boxes, you can use the microwave on the 2nd floor. I had wanted to try some local frozen foods, but unfortunately, there was no air fryer. I had a wonderful 7-night stay. Off-topic: I was so lucky to experience Beijing's first snow!
