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.

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.

Rustic Hotel
Picked this place as it was one of the few hotels in our budget and close to a metro station. Great location! Seems they get few non-Chinese guests but they are very friendly and helpful. Rooms are rustic and breakfast was simple. We enjoyed our stay.

beautiful traditional place in a perfect location
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%

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!

Not impressed. Overpriced for its hutong charm. There are better Hutong hotels with better prices and overall services. Location is convenient. Not much with amenities. Courtyard is quaint but quite jammed if more than a handful of guests showed up. No hot water for morning showers and breakfast is very plain but overpriced.

Beijing family vacation
I stayed here with my wife and 2 teenage children in early October 2012. We wanted something beyond the highly functional, but "boxy" and rather charmless global chain hotels and we certainly got it here. This hotel is located in a small Beijing back street or Hutong and designed to make us feel like old time Beijingers. Hence, the rooms are very small, I mean very small, but this was great. The breakfasts were simple but just right. The staff spoke very good English and were both attentive and helpful. The small courtyard was charming and a lovely place to sit in the evening with a bottle of beer or mug of green tea to reflect on the day's activities with the other guests. Location is spot on, a very good local restaurant 30m away around the corner (RMB300 for a family of 4, including drinks), 5 mins walk from the Heptingmen subway station and 10-15 minutes walk from Tiananmen Square and the Forbidden City. I would highly recommend to book your tours to the Great Wall via the hotel and specify exactly what you want, in our case, to avoid the scams of being taken to shop!. The Wifi is free and very good. My only complaint was that in our kids room there was a little damp and mouldiness, but I am being very picky. Great place, will stay again should our travels take us to Beijing.

Very interesting location and building
Some of the rooms are incredible small, which can make them very cramped for more than 1-2 nights. The staff are incredibly friendly and warm, but unfortunately our trip was hampered by construction works kicking off at 7 or 8 in the morning and the general lack of privacy. This will not matter to many (indeed, the 'cosiness' will be a feature for some!), but if you value your privacy, I'm afraid this is not really the place for you!

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.

無論外觀和內裡跟想像完全是兩樣。房間很細，淋浴水壓不足。除WIFI 外，沒有任何設施。早餐十分簡單。員工服務態度很好。 惟一優點是步行5分便到地鐵站，去機場只要轉車一次，45分便到。20分鐘可步行至故宫安門，或前門購物區。

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。
