Purple courtyard - Beijing, Cina

What a fantastic location. I loved staying in a place amongst the locals. It is fun to get up early and people watch. The room is very basic, but clean. I have found all the beds in China to be hard and the Purple Courtyard was not exception. Heaps of places to eat close by and convenient to many attractions.

The location of this guesthouse, in the hutongs, and near some fun pedestrian shopping areas, is what makes it a good place to stay. I didn't feel like the rooms were as clean or serviced as they could have been. However, the guesthouse owners were helpful and arranged a car and driver for us to visit the Great Wall.

The room was dingy and depressing. Wallpaper peeling; in need of some paint. The key-card lock didn't work. Proprietor had to let me in with a key every time I returned to the room; wouldn't give me a key. Bathroom very dark as only one of three bulbs was present. Shower head didn't work. Water leaked out of hose; had to use that to shower. There are […] tables to sit outside but the urine smell was too intense. I'd pass; there are better options for the price in Beijing.

Perfect place to be in Beijing. 5min walk to Houhai (great nightlife, restaurants), 2 minute walk to another street lined with specialty shops, restaraunts, bars within the hutong. There are many other "local" shops/ restaraunts just a few minutes away. Short bus/taxi ride to the Forbidden City, Heavenly Palace. Had them take me to Mutianyu part of […] Great Wall, which they ended up taking me on a short hike around the main gate into a unrenovated area of the wall which was very COOL! We eventually ended up the main area. I would suggest having them pick u up because it is a fairly tough place to find and it will save you time. I used Houhai park as a place of reference when I got lost and had to ask locals for directions. Baca selengkapnya

This is a very quaint family run hotel and its in the heart of the Hu Tong area of Beijing... All the staff are very friendly and helpful...They will arrange any trip you may wish to go on... Although the rooms are small they had everything in them you needed... The area dates back to the days of the Forbidden City which just happens to be very close […] to this hotel... All the streets in the area are narrow and you get the feel of real life around you We liked this hotel so much we went back to stay on our last two nights before leaving China... Baca selengkapnya

Great 4 days in Beijing... Convenient for sightseeing and excellent facilities nearby... Hotel staff organised brilliant trip to the wall at Mutianyu and, don't worry, I'm not particularly fit but managed it fine, so probably better to go there than Badaling... Used the metro to explore - cheap and easy to use - which takes you everywhere, inc Summer […] Palace, Zoo and Temple of Heaven... Baca selengkapnya

This is a small, family run hotel. The location is great - just North of the forbidden city. It is located in the older part of Beijing, just off a lively Ally full of tourist shops, food stall, and bars. Although taxi's won't drive directly to the hotel (the road is too small) it is only a short walk. The hotel itself has loads of character. It is […] a small courtyard building with only about 8 rooms in total. Our room was small, but very clean (indeed it got cleaned every day!), and the character of the place by far made up for the size. One thing to bear in mind is that our 'triple room' turned out to be 2 beds pushed together, with 3 lots of bedding, which was fine for us 3 girls, but could be an issue for some groups. We also arranged a tour to the great wall via the hotel - which turned out to be one of the highlights of our trip, and at a cheaper rate than the nearby hostel!. The family were excellent hosts, and despite some members not speaking a lot of English they were very helpful - writing down instructions for us to give to taxi drivers, and booking our trains for us! Overall if it is a budget hotel you are after then this is it! I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again. Baca selengkapnya

This hotel is a three-minute walk away from the chic Nanluogu Hutong which is bustling with bars, restaurants and shops. It is in the middle of the hutong riddled center of Beijing which is ramshackle but teeming with life. The hotel is a family business: some members speak more English than others, but the younger generation speaks it well, and the […] older generation is willing to cheerfully play charades. The family is very friendly, and invited me to a dumpling dinner (from looking at other reviews I think this is a fairly frequent event) which I ate with a few of the other Western guests. It was delicious! My dinner companions recommended a microbrewery around the corner from the hotel (Great Leap Brewery) that we visited the following evening, and was fantastic. The room was clean and comfortable. It was also nicely decorated. Beijing was hot when I visited, but the air conditioning in my room worked perfectly. My bathroom had a handheld showerhead with no stall (I believe this is fairly common in China) so beware that the entire bathroom floor and toliet will get wet during a shower (the water did drain quickly at least). I asked for a small towel to wipe my feet, and got by just fine. I think some of the other bathrooms in the place at least had a shower curtain (but probably no separate shower floor). Also, the TV had no English language channels. Be aware that it will be difficult to get a taxi driver to drive you straight to the hotel unless you speak Mandarin. The hutongs are narrow, and while cars can fit, it's slow going with all the foot and bicycle traffic. Have the driver drop you off at the intersection of the northern main street Gulou Dongdajie and the Nanluogu Alley. Walk south down Nanluogu alley (5-10 minutes) and turn left and travel west down Shajing Hutong. Walk another 3 minutes and you'll get to a T intersection with a big purple banner, the entrance to the hotel courtyard will be the door on your left. You can also initially approach the Baca selengkapnya

New, humble, and small hutong guesthouse, with good friendly service. The guests staying here tended to be medium to long-term stays and ppl already familiar with China, so the vibe was nice and not touristy. It's basically a family house and the family is on the premises. One suggestion, it would be nice to offer a small breakfast, something simple […] like baozi and coffee. But the family did offer spontaneous homemade evening snacks like dumplings every few days, which was very cool. The rooms were basic but had everything we needed, and the WiFi worked quite well. Would certainly recommend, as the location is ideal. Right around the corner from Great Leap Brewpub :) Baca selengkapnya

Nous sommes resté 6 nuits dans cet hôtel et nous avons été extrêmement déçus, chambre non conforme à la description, aucune aide pour les sorties à l’extérieur, propriétaire très mal poli, chambre sale jamais nettoyée, serviettes de bain jamais changées, gros insectes dans la salle de bain, poubelle jamais vidée, chewing-gums collés au mur, la clé électronique […] ne marchait pas, il fallait constamment appeler le personnel pour ouvrir et fermer la porte derrière nous, il ne se donnait dés fois même pas la peine de la fermer quand nous partions alors que nous leur demandions. Les toilettes étaient bouchées nous pouvions à peine les utiliser. Le propriétaire est venu une fois pour essayer de les déboucher, il pleuvait, il a foutu de l'eau partout dans la chambre avec ses vieilles pantoufles, il est parti de la chambre sans nous dire un mot, si c'était opérationnel ou non (il a juste dit par la suite à sa nièce à la réception que c'était bon alors que c'était faux) il a vaguement essuyé ses traces avec une vieille serpillère dégueulasse qui trainait dehors, du coup c'était encore plus sale qu'avant et ça puait, et les toilettes n'étaient toujours pas débouchées, il a fallu demander à nouveau à sa nièce pour que quelqu'un d'autre essaye, on nous a dit à nouveau que c'était bon mais ça ne l'était pas! On a fait cinq hôtels en chine, c'est le seul qui nous a déçu, nous déconseillons vivement ce lieu, beaucoup trop cher pour ce qu'il est en vérité... Baca selengkapnya

bien place par rapport aux sites. petit hotel. confort rudimentaire mais correct. Plusieurs equipements bricoles. Le Personnel se resume a 1 personne qui parle un peu anglais mais serviable. pas tres facile a trouver car dans les hutongs.

Cet hôtel est convenable pour ceux qui cherchent de l'hébergement à bas prix à Pékin. Si vous avez la chance d'avoir une des chambres nouvellement rénovées et équipées de leurs propres sanitaires alors cet hôtel sera très convenable. Si en revanche vous êtes dans l'une des chambres sans sanitaires alors vous aurez à utiliser les mêmes sanitaires collectifs […] que d'autres clients (autochtones) qui ont une conception de l'hygiène aux antipodes de la nôtre. Le personel est aimable et serviable, bien que leur anglais oscille entre inexistant et minimaliste. L'hôtel est bien situé, relativement proche des sites touristiques à défaut d'être proche de stations de métro. Il est également remarquablement calme. Quelques commerces alimentaires sont situés à proximité et très utiles. Baca selengkapnya

Es handelt sich eher um ein Hostel als um ein Hotel. Der Charakter ist familaer chinesisch. Man fuehlt sich sicher und gut betraeut. Die Zimmer im ersten Stock haben nur Gemeinschafts Dusche. Das steht auf der Website von hotel.com anders.
