Beijing Houhai Gulou Courtyard Manxin Mansion

The distance between the hotel and metro are close (approximately 3 minutes walking distance). The hotel staffs are nice and very helpful.  The living experience is great.

Had a very happy stay with my elderly parents and will definitely stay here again if in Beijing next time. Hotel is situated inside a small alley, near to the main road and 5mins walk away from a very convenient metro interchange station - Gulou Dajie (鼓楼大街). Can board either Line #2 or #8 from here, both of which leads directly to Beijing’s main attractions and major railway stations. Hotel used to be the home of a high-rank official in Ming Dynasty, now converted into rooms which open directly into a courtyard (a traditional building style in Old Beijing). As it’s wood architecture, noise proofing isn’t the best. Not a big concern for us as it is a quiet neighborhood, only can hear the occasional loud conversations from other guests walking by. Different stay experience from typical hotel rooms as the courtyard is a peaceful place for some tea, chit chat or general relaxing and star gazing after a tiring day’s walk. Compliments to the very helpful and friendly service staff for a wonderful staying experience too. Every time we go to reception to ask questions, the staff are always quick to offer drinks while waiting. My parents’ room was a little stuffy (floor heating was turned up) and they immediately brought us a humidifier/air fan to improve air circulation. There was also a small snack bag for each of us when checking out. Overall a very happy stay.

The hotel has a beautifully restored courtyard house vibe, with friendly and helpful staff. They offer 小吊梨 drinks and famous 稻香村 pastries, and I got a free room upgrade, the room quite spaciou as well. One of the night did laundry late, I request them after finshed washed send to my room, the next morning they delivered, and even folded it for me—great service! They also provided plenty of bottled water and a humidifier. The location is super convenient—烤肉刘 is right outside, and it's a 10–15 min walk to the Drum Tower, Nanluoguxiang, and Shichahai. Even taking a Didi is quick and affordable. Highly recommend for a traditional Beijing siheyuan stay. Would definitely return!

Wonderful experience and professional front desk . They friendly and helpful . Love it

Good service, nice view, special designed room, near to subway station, wanted to stay longer next time, would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone coming to Beijing

Check in time stated as 2pm. I reached the hotel around 3pm, got informed that the room wasn't ready due to the previous customer (their member with platinum level) , who has the right to check out late. Despite the hotel was fully booked that day. I was asked to wait another hour (4pm) before I can get to check into the room. This hotel policy just doesn't make sense. Apart from this awful experience. The hotel is at a good location (less than 5mins walk to the guloudajie subway), room was comfortable, clean and equipped with the AI voice/smart control. A supermarket nearby and few eatery places (include MCD) too. Great customer service especially the staff (male) who assisted my booking on 10 Nov 2024 3pm (forgot to get his name) . He has an excellent attitude, attentive to the issue and provided a reasonable compensation (room upgrade & 2hrs delayed check out) . I understand that he might have no control to change the hotel policy, but truly appreciate that he did not just brush it off and offered a better solution. There was no remarks made for my late check out time tho, even I have confirmed via wechat the day before. I received a call around 11:45pm from a female staff who asked if I am going to check out soon. I was asking isn't my check out time is extended to 2pm, her response was not pleasent, until I told her that I had confirmed via wechat yesterday. Then she apologised and said will made a remarks.
