This has been one of the best stays I’ve ever experienced. From the moment I arrived, I felt less like a guest and more like family.

The place is spotless, peaceful, and incredibly relaxing. The food is always abundant, delicious, and thoughtfully prepared. But what truly makes this place special is the exceptional hospitality. The staff genuinely care about every guest. They take the time to chat, make sure you’re comfortable, and always go above and beyond.

Every evening, they would bring fresh fruit, snacks, and a warm glass of milk to help me wind down for the night. It was such a thoughtful touch that made me feel cared for. I never once worried about being hungry because they were always looking after my needs before I even had to ask.

It’s rare to find a place that feels like home when you’re traveling, but that’s exactly how I felt here. Thank you for making my time in Beijing so memorable. I would recommend this place to anyone without hesitation, and I can’t wait to come back.

We had an incredible stay! So much thought and care was put into all of our daily interactions with the friendly staff who went way above our expectations. Small details, such as packing a lunch for us when we left early for a day trip, and countless daily offerings of local treats to try, made for a special and unforgettable experience. A unique and beautiful hotel!

Highly recommend to all who want to experience Beijing Hutong living, very homey feel, the property is artistically designed and immaculately maintained , the tea serving ritual is a must to experience… and the traditional Beijing snacks (fried sauce noodles, wonton soup, tea cakes) are so yummy that my kids said they are the best food they have tried Beijing.

This is a beautiful property in a lively neighbourhood, very charming. What made the experience special was the kind and attentive service from the staff. They were very helpful in helping us book activities, provide suggestions, ensure our stay is comfortable, and even went out of their way to provide early breakfast when we needed to leave early. The staff are very friendly and helpful.

Every day we looked forward to the afternoon tea service, where we got to try many types of fruits, nuts, and handcrafted sweets, some were very artistic. They also brought warm milk to our room every night :)

The rooms are clean and comfortable, the property has sweet birds and koi fish which were a fun addition! We would recommend anyone to stay here.

We are a family of four and had a very pleasant 10-night stay. The room was exceptionally clean, comfortable, and well maintained, making it easy to relax after a long day. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, always willing to assist with any questions or requests.

Breakfast was enjoyable, with freshly made beef noodles and wonton soup, along with a good variety of options to start the day. The location was also convenient, with plenty of dining options nearby.

Overall, it was an extremely comfortable stay, and I would highly recommend it to other travellers.

Traditional Chinese foods but also some normal breakfast items to keep kids happy. Also provide an afternoon tea with traditional treat but also have popcorn and candy floss. A great addition. The best hotel I have ever stayed in. I would recommend this for anyone to try. Worth every penny

The reviews were correct. This is a wonderful place to stay in Beijing. It is a very small, quaint, and immaculately cared for hotel.

The rooms have very traditional and modern elements that work very nice. If only I spoke Chinese to use the automation.

The highlight were the staff of the hotel. They were unbelievably attentive, kind, genuine and helpful. The answer was always yes. We were leaving early for a tour and they opened breakfast early for us. After check out we left our luggage to walk around before coming back to leave to the airport. They invited us to tea time before we left, even though we were checked out.

Small, but impactful efforts. My wife said it was the best stay she has ever experienced in all our travels.

My stay at this siheyuan was one of the best experience in my 20 years of travelling extensively. I have stayed at numerous 5 star hotels and resorts, SLH hotels, but none come close to my experience at this siheyuan. The owner, Mr Jiang and staff are friendly, always chatting with us and providing us with the best service making sure that our stay was pleasant. The breakfast spread was amazing despite it being a small “hotel” with only 9 rooms. The “afternoon tea snacks” are available till 10pm. After a long day out, you are welcomed back to the hotel with an assortment of snacks which could easily fill you up. We had afternoon tea on the day we arrived at 2pm and even on the day of our departure at 7pm as we had a midnight flight back home. We travelled as a family of 2 adults and 2 children and the room was clean, spacious and comfortable. I will highly recommend this hotel to anybody that want to experience living in a traditional Beijing courtyard house.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 10/10 – Absolutely Outstanding Stay!

We stayed at this hotel for six nights and had an incredible experience from start to finish. The room was in immaculate condition—spotlessly clean, beautifully maintained, and extremely comfortable. Housekeeping was flawless every single day, showing great attention to detail and care.
What truly made our stay exceptional was the customer service. Every member of the staff went above and beyond to ensure our needs were met. They were professional, warm, and genuinely committed to making our stay enjoyable.
We felt completely looked after, and nothing was ever too much trouble. It's rare to come across such dedication to guest satisfaction.
Highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for top-quality service and comfort. 100% would stay again – a perfect 10 out of 10!

This is a beautifully remodeled sigeyuan—traditional courtyard style house situated in an old Beijing Hutong. It’s in a great location, close to all the sights, with fun shops and good restaurants nearby, yet very quiet at night. The staff is a team of lovely ladies who are incredibly friendly and helpful—they did our laundry, served us afternoon tea daily and would fix noodles and dumplings whenever requested. They are genuinely concerned with the guests and seem to really enjoy their jobs. The owner pays a lot of attention to detail, even the dishes and tea sets are carefully chosen and gorgeous. During our stay, there were three parrots, two katydids, numerous kois, and blooming flowers all around. We felt very lucky to have gotten the last room which had its own little courtyard and faced the koi pond. It’s a magical place, a highlight of our China trip.

Amazing Hutong Hotel in Beijing!

XinXiangYaYuan Courtyard was an absolutely lovely oasis in the heart of Beijing! The beds were SO comfortable, the staff was incredible (kind, helpful), and the rooftop terrace is perfect for an early evening beer and snack. Breakfast was mostly Chinese items, with some yogurt and egg options, as well. Would 100% stay again!

From the time we entered the XinXiangYaYuan Courtyard hotel through the impressive red doors we were treated wonderfully and felt like part of the family during our 6 nights at the hotel.

The breakfasts had a wide range of delicious local and western foods, and the afternoon teas had lovely sweets and fruits. Our kids loved making coloured candy floss with the friendly staff. We loved how convenient the location was, a few minutes walk to either Dongsi or DengshiKou metro stations.

While it looks like a traditional hutong accommodation from outside, and beautifully decorated and complemented with goldfish and tweeting birds, the inside is super modern and comfortable with its smart toilet and lighting.

We loved our stay, and the delightful service, and would love to come back.

Set in a typical Beijing hutong, this charming little boutique hotel (with nine guestrooms) exudes the traditional feel of a siheyuan (courtyard), yet comes replete with modern amenities like wi-fi, projector tv and the ever helpful smart assistant XiaoDu to operate the lights, tell you the weather, provide wake-up calls, play music and other little tasks. The room is clean and comfortable with an ensuite bathroom complete with toiletries.

The service staff are excellent from the point of checking in to checking out, and everything else in between. Dressed in somewhat traditional garb, always friendly and cheerful, they are the very charm of the establishment. Requests either made in person or via Wechat are met with prompt efficiency and a smile.

Breakfast, which is included, is served in a small but well-appointed dining room. Typical Beijing breakfast fare is served, including porridge, noodles and various steamed and fried fare. For the weary guest after the day's exploits, \"afternoon tea\" is also available until late in the evening, with Chinese tea and assorted local snacks. Engaging conversation with the friendly and chatty owner tops up the wonderful experience.

This hotel in Beijing offers a unique local style, complemented by exceptionally friendly staff and 5-star service. Though the rooms are small due to the building's conversion from local housing, they are well-designed and comfortable, featuring modern bathrooms and bedrooms. Voice-controlled lights and curtains (in Chinese) add a high-tech touch, and the toilet seat includes a washing function. Guests can enjoy complimentary afternoon tea daily and request late evening tea, both of which are delightful. The hotel location is 2km away from the east entrance of the forbidden city and tian'anmen square. It's really in the center of the old Beijing. 500m to subway station.

Service: Topp service og veldig personlig. Vi elsket deres kinesisk «afternoon tea»

Lokasjon: Sentralt - veldig bra lokasjon kjøpesenter APM og hoved handelgate (utforsk kvelds liv på gate). Enkel å dra til alle de andre kjøpesenter. Vær obs ikke alle taxidrosjer kjører til døren, men det er kort vei til hovedgate.

Rom: Fine, med moderne bad fasiliteter som f eks japansk do. Koselig uteområde til å sitte ute.

Frokost: Enkelt asiatisk frokost stil, men mulighet til nudler.

Supermysigt litet gårdshotell. Ombyggt 200 år gammalt traditionellt kinesiskt atriumhus. Smakfullt renoverat med toppen materialval och omsorg. Gatan som huset ligger på kändes lite ruffigt och är omöjligt för en taxi att komma in på men ligger utmärkt till i Peking för dagsutflykter.
Personalen gjorde sitt yttersta för att vår familj skulle ha en utmärkt vistelse. En fantastisk eftermiddagsfika serveras varje dag.
