Super, super super super good

服務員有善有禮貌，早餐，午餐及宵夜也很好食，有家的感覺，體驗一流。

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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!

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.

Excellent service, nice dining options and cool animals in the yard are the highlights of our stay.

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.

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!

A beautiful property with lovely rooms. The staff was excellent, especially Sicily in reception. Loved the pool and the brunch service was superb.

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.

We had a wonderful stay at this hotel, the location is great and a lot of efforts have been put in the decoration and facilities, giving us the feel of an authentic Siheyuan with all the modern comfort. Rooms are spacious and perfectly equiped. We particularly liked the small private patio that added calm and privacy. The staff is amazing, kind, efficient and very attentionate, we even had a wonderful tea time and treats during our stay and loved the small happy birds singing. A very nice place that we highly recommend to enjoy your visit of Beijing.

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.

It was a small property but the staff made it very welcoming for the guests with personalized services including breakfast and afternoon tea. It was about 10 minutes walk to Wangfujing shopping street and surrounding the accommodation there were some other f&b options and cafes.

A very different experience! Highly recommended if you like to experience a courtyard stay. Afternoon tea and Breakfast are all catered 😊

Excellent place and Awesome level of service. Will definitely stay there again when visiting BJ

시설과 친절한서비스긴 5성급 못지않습니다 정말추천합니다

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. Rekommenderas varmt!

The staff at the hotel is wonderful. They tried their best to serve you. They even cooked the wonton at night after 10pm. The breakfast and afternoon tea are terrific. We definitely have a great time here.

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.
