Hedeyuan Courtyard Hotel (Beijing Tiananmen Square Zhushikou Subway Station)

If you like sterile environments with soft mattresses then this might not be for you... However, if you value being in one of the most incredibly gorgeous and authentic hutong hotels in Beijing this IS a must stay to add to your most wonderful lifetime of memories collection! It is an amazing opportunity to experience warm friendly and helpful staff, situated within 10 minutes walk of the Archers Tower entrance to Tiananmen Square... Those ten minutes can be passed in the fragrant hutong with a carpet of roast duck cooking in front of open wood fires, while the aromas of wanton, bing and noodles which are steaming or being fried to succulent perfection - or, you can stroll in the lavishly refurbished section of the Central Axis which runs parallel to the hutong backstreets. Location 11/10! Could not be better! Service from owners and staff of this converted Bank Building (dating back hundreds of years) offer 24hr support and advice, with a family feel smile... What more could you wish for? Whilst the building is hundreds of years old - it doesn't smell musty, nor does the on-site old Palace Cat. The décor is amazing, steeped in original features and is certainly not replicating anything, merely sustaining the deeply rich heritage that this historically protected building helps preserve. If you want to experience something truly amazing... Skip the pan global hotel chains and give your heart and soul the chance to be pampered instead of your wallet being drained - it will be an indelible experience that you will remember and cherish forever. To be brutally honest and keep a balance of integrity I must openly state... the mattress isn't very soft. If you would let that one detraction stop you from staying here... You don't deserve to take away the incredible memories of being in the heart of the hutong, in the heart of Beijing Walking distance to the best restaurants, historical attractions, subway stations, theater/opera, markets and more I will return for sure.

Nice hotel in a strategic position! Very recommended to all.

This is my go-to accommodation from now on if travelling to Beijing. Such a great location! Within walking distance to all attractions with countless restaurants available nearby. The check in was smooth and the room was clean. What I really like about this accommodation is that it's in a traditional house with many lanterns creating a beautiful atmosphere at night! I highly recommend this place. Just make sure you book a bigger sized room if you're worried about the space as the basic ones might be a bit small.

The best location Just 5 to 10 minues walk to hutongs and Quianmen area…

Convenient location to many attractions in the city Waiting distance to Tiananmen Square. Friendly and lively neighborhood with many local delicacies.

Service and cleanliness where good! Location is absolutely perfect, close to Tiananmen and in the middle of a nice hutong. Would stay there again for my third visit in China!
