Hotels in Houhai Area, Beijing

The room was quiet and the staff were warm and attentive. The front desk even helped us carry our luggage to the room because of our age, which was a nice touch. The only downside was that the bed was a bit firm. The location is excellent for sightseeing; it's very close to Shichahai, Nanluoguxiang, and Yandai Xiejie. I'd definitely stay here again on my next trip to Beijing.

Nestled in Nanluoguxiang, this hotel offers a peaceful retreat amidst the hustle and bustle. The accommodation is in a separate building, requiring a key card for entry. Food deliveries are handled by a robot, which is a nice touch. On our last day, I suddenly felt unwell. Our checkout was scheduled for 12 PM, but I called the front desk to request an extension until 2 PM, which they graciously granted. Later, I inquired about the cost for an hourly room extension, but to our surprise, the front desk extended our checkout for free until 3:30 PM. We're so grateful for their kindness!

The location of the Jingman Courtyard Hotel was perfect for our travels. It was just a 300-meter walk to a bustling street (where we could grab a Luckin Coffee early in the morning). We could also walk to the Forbidden City and Shichahai in under an hour, and then stroll back to the courtyard through Nanluoguxiang and various hutongs. We chose the boutique king room, and the king-sized bed was genuinely massive and incredibly comfortable! The en-suite bathroom was small but perfectly formed and functional. The only downside was that even with the hot water turned up full blast, it couldn't quite combat the freezing winter temperatures, though the room's heating helped alleviate that. The communication with the courtyard hotel, before, during, and after our stay, was so warm and welcoming, like family. Because of that, we could easily overlook the 'beautiful mistake' of finding some food left by the previous guests in the fridge.

The room was spotless and well-maintained with excellent facilities. The bedding was soft and comfortable, ensuring a fantastic night's sleep. The front desk staff were incredibly warm and helpful, and check-in was quick and efficient. The location is also very convenient for getting around. My friends and I had a wonderfully comfortable stay. Highly recommend!

The hotel boasts an excellent location in Qianjing Hutong, right by Shichahai. It's within walking distance to numerous attractions like Houhai, Yinding Bridge, Prince Gong's Mansion, and Beihai Park. Shichahai subway station is also easily accessible on foot. There are many old-brand restaurants nearby, placing it right in the heart of old Beijing, perfect for a leisurely stroll to experience the local life and culture. The hotel itself is very quiet, and the rooms are spacious with good functional divisions. The breakfast, while reasonably priced, is exquisite. The hotel far exceeded my expectations; I initially planned to stay for just one night, but found it to be such great value for money that I ended up staying for three. Highly recommend!

I stumbled upon the Chaoman Hotel (Gulou Houhai Branch) while strolling through Beijing's hutongs. With a 4.3 rating and having opened in 2015, I didn't have high expectations, but my stay completely won me over! The hotel underwent a major renovation last year and switched to a new brand. All the room facilities are brand new, showing no signs of being an old hotel. The heating was excellent, the amenities were complete, and the newly replaced mattress was soft and comfortable, allowing me to sleep soundly until morning. The most surprising thing was the excellent soundproofing; despite being in the hutongs, it was remarkably quiet, ensuring I didn't disturb my rest at all. The front desk staff were warm and patient, making check-in a smooth experience—a truly exceptional experience. The location is also superb, within walking distance of the Drum Tower, Shichahai, Nanluoguxiang, and the Imperial College, making it incredibly convenient for sightseeing, dining, and getting around. It offers a glimpse into the vibrant atmosphere of old Beijing. It's incredibly cost-effective, with new decor, a great night's sleep, and a fantastic location. It's the perfect place to stay when visiting Beijing, and I highly recommend it!

Environment: The hotel's location is pretty good, close to the scenic area. There's a great ramen shop downstairs. Our largest room was quiet, but the soundproofing wasn't great. Cleanliness: It was okay; they cleaned daily. However, the suite's bathroom had an odor. The receptionist gave us an extra electricity card to use for ventilation when we went out. Service: We opened the windows every time we went out. The day we went to the Summer Palace, there was a sandstorm, and when we returned, the staff had closed the windows for us, which was very nice. Facilities: The hotel seems to be located in a low-rise alleyway; the lack of an elevator was inconvenient.

This hotel is a hidden gem! The room was spotless, and the front desk staff were incredibly warm and efficient. It made for a perfect trip. The room facilities were complete, and the front desk lobby had an elegant design where you could even work. Plus, there are free hot drinks and coffee! It's also super close to Beijing North Station, and there are excellent dining options nearby. Highly recommend!

What a pleasant surprise this stay in Beijing was! Located on Yandai Xie Street, this hotel, formerly a century-old bathhouse, perfectly blends ancient charm with modern intelligence. It's within walking distance to Shichahai, Gulou, and Nanluoguxiang – a quiet oasis in a bustling area with super convenient access to public transport, including a nearby subway station. The room's design is elegant, and the zero-pressure mattress provided an exceptionally restful sleep. The pillows were so comfortable that I've already recommended them and plan to buy some for myself. Every detail is thoughtfully considered, from the high-quality amenities to the stylish old photo wall. The service was impeccable, from the check-in guidance to the recommendations for exploring the hutongs. The front desk staff and the cleaning aunties were all incredibly warm and attentive. Excellent value for money! I'll definitely choose this place again on my next trip to Beijing. Highly recommended!

This hotel, part of the Huazhu Group, lives up to expectations in terms of comfort. Its location is fantastic, just about 50 meters from the South Gate of Nanluoguxiang scenic area and Exit E of Metro Line 8. There are plenty of shared bikes right outside, making green travel very convenient. The hotel is situated within a large compound. Being in the city center, the room size is a bit on the smaller side, with the bed against the wall, but there's still enough space to move around. Overall, it's clean and tidy. The breakfast restaurant isn't large, but it offers a good variety of dishes. The service is typically warm and generous, as expected in Beijing. My only minor gripe is that the faucets are a bit stiff and not very smooth to operate.
