Liuhexiang Courtyard

near subway but not many restaurant nearby. The room is not big but clean. shower hot water not stable other is ok.

This place is terrific for anyone looking to see traditional China. It is in a genuine "hutong" or alley that is part of a network of hutongs that any guest here should wander through. The accommodation is clean, well appointed, well heated, with suitable bathroom/shower facilities. This is not elegance nor large rooms. It is comfortable, functional accommodation in a traditional courtyard. In the past, these courtyards were shared living space for a whole community, with each person/family/couple getting a room that surrounded a courtyard where cooking and open-air showering took place. This place retains the traditional feel of living around a shared courtyard but with the conveniences of modern accommodation. Everything here is comfortable and up to standard, but it is not meant to be 5* style. Rooms are somewhat small. Go there if you'd like to sense an older China and wander the hutongs. Subway is very close. Staff speak English and are very helpful. PS - I lived in China 4.5 years, first visited there in 1994, and stayed in about 80 hotels there. This was one of my most pleasant accommodations, but I prefer environment more than room service and luxury surroundings.

This is in a local Hutong so you get a real China experience. The place is a nice little refuge from the fast pace of Beijing. It is an interesting area of Beijing a 30 minute walk to Beijing Park which I highly suggest visiting early in the morning to avoid the tourist rush. The Hutong is just around the corner from subway line 4 (5 minute walk) . I had a view room which look out into the court yard. This is a courtyard hotel not a grand western style hotel so be prepared for a relaxing non corporate experience. I caught a taxi from Beijing West station which cost 25 RMB, take the address in Chinese from Agoda otherwise taxi driver will have a hard time finding it. When you get to the Hutong show the address to someone living in the Hutong and they will show you where to go, look for red lanterns. Staff very friendly and rooms clean. I'll stay here again so the family can have a courtyard experience. Most guests are Chinese.

I enjoyed it very much! The courtyard ist simply perfect! Very relaxing atmosphere and very helpful staff. If you want yo stay in a typical courtyard hotel - that's the one! Very clean rooms with comfortable beds.

We stayed for 4 nights and it was a great experience overall. Really warm affable staff (we could speak Mandarin so not sure about their command of English), the rooms were clean, the heating was good, and it's close to Xi Si subway as well.

Great location

Not so comfortable at the beginning as the room is considered a bit small for family staying. But felt better and better after 4 days staying. We like the courtyard very much.

We loved our stay here! The rooms are a Little small, but the nice courtyard, helpful staff and great Location makes up for all that! Try the noodle soup for breakfast and book a tour to the Great Wall!

Our stay at the Liuhe Courtyard was very pleasant. First of all, they came to the airport to pick us up for free. That is very helpful in the huge Beijing, especially for first timers. The hotel is situated in a very authentic Beijing hutong (not the renewed ones in the West of Beijing) far away from the hassle and noise from the city. It is only 5-min walk from the subway, which is very convenient. The courtyard is very nice and it offers great moments of peace after a day of sightseeing. The rooms are basic but clean and confortable. Breakfast is okay, especially the Chinese noodles. Staff is attentive and speaks English decently. Plus, the owners are fair people. We hired the day trip to the Great Wall (Mutianyu) that is advertised at the hotel. Although all expenses were supposed to be included (transportation, entrance to the wall, and lunch), the tour company -which has nothing to do with the hotel- did not tell that there are another extra 80 RMB to take the cable car and that drinks are not included . After explaining this to the hotel, they kindly reimbursed us this money. We really appreciated their kindness and fairness. In conclusion, we greatly recommend this hotel to anyone willing to experience a real hutong experience in Beijing!
