Very nice hotel, super friendly staff”
We visited Beijing for a wedding and spent 10 nights at the hotel. The rooms are spacious and comfortable. Nothing fancy but good quality. The ambiance of the hotel and the location in the midst of a hutong are very nice: walking distance to Forbidden City and other must-see-spots. All staff are very friendly and especially the receptionists are wonderful: interested and supportive, and most of them speak English very well. We warmly recommend the Beijing 161 Wangfujing Courtyard Hotel.

Ok stay, very oily breakfast, nice Hutong location”
The Beijing 161 Wangfujing Courtyard Hotel is well located, only a 15 minute cab to the Forbidden City and Tiananmen Square. What is really special about its accommodation is its characteristic Hutong setting which allows you to really immerse yourself in everyday Beijing local life style. Every day as we would walk out of the hotel through the Hutong you were surrounded by neighboring locals going on with their day. I believe that staying in a Hutong is a much more rewarding experience than staying at a fancy 5 star hotel on one of the main streets since the Hutong allows you to time travel and experience a much more ‘real’ China. In terms of the hotel’s service its ok - the staff were nice and helpful except for one instance on our last day - they said they would order us a cab for the airport and when there weren’t any cabs available they did not seem to care (Even though we were going to miss our flight). We had to leave the hotel and hail a cab on the street.

Very good”
Located in a lively hutong. There is another 161 hotel nearer to the main road but this 161 is a brand new one with courtyard design. There is breakfast in the hutong. Near to train station dongsi. Everything was ok except for the attitude of the staff here. When I first stood at the front desk, I was instructed (rudely) that I have to stay 1 night in an upgraded room, and the other 2 nights in the room type I booked. After a few questions and answers then we realize that they are having problems with the room I booked. The previous client extended their stay and occupied the room which was supposed to be mine. It's ok, in the end, they had it sorted out. But I guess a simple explanation without "rude instructions" may change my view. After that, I decided to extend my stay to avoid the hassle of moving huge luggage around. We initially talked to a young nice guy and he made the arrangement. Later I went to the counter to reconfirm on this, the other guy told me a different price for the room, but hey your colleague mentioned there is a promotional price? and he rudely replied me, "I am the manager, he is just a worker." I walked out from the hotel and met the nice young guy at the front door, we reconfirm that the room is on promotion price. All in all, i would say, if you are working in a hospitality sector, please be nice.

Convenient ”
Stayed here for 4 nights while we toured Beijing. Nice area of town with so much of the sights within walking distance. Stayed in a room with 2 beds tha5 had a window looking into the restaurant/flower shop. Was noisy durin* the day but always got quiet around 9 every night so sleeping was great. Staff were very accommodating and spoke English so that helped us adjust to the area. If you are looking for a good clean place at a reasonable price and close to metro and walking to Wangfujing st this is perfect. Yes the walk down the alley makes you wonder but no worries, china is safe everywhere at all times.

Comfortable Stay, highly recommend”
It is a quiet hutong stay and with old Beijing culture, it is just slightly away from the main street but let you away of the traffic sound, it was a cozy comfortable 5 nights stay over there, will definitely come back here if I visit Beijing again.

Located near to metro Dongsi station thus easily access to sightseeing places.”
Very friendly staff and tried to speak English and helpful with tourism info. Comfortable bed n clean room. Average pricing for upgraded my room. Occasionally you may disturb by neighborhood as it is in hutong because the neighbouring houses are back to back. Not easy to find by using google.map . Suggest to hotelier to put up a easy location map.in booking.com photo section.

Good stay”
We enjoyed our stay in a loft family room. Good wifi and hot shower. The location was close to Dongsi subway station which allowed easy access to all of Beijing by metro. We walked easily to Wangfujing Street. The onsite restaurant provided a good choice for breakfast. Quiet at night. Would stay again.

Old Beijing Experiences”
If you wish to have something new travel experience in the heart of Beijing, you may try this courtyard hotel. Affordable, friendly & helpful staff, nice set breakfast, clean, good location to public transport and foods. Only room facilities can be improved.

Location is good ”
Close to subway and all shopping area. The staff are friendly and helpful. For the price I paid, the value is about right. However, the towels are old. There’s no refrigerator in room. Due to the hotel is transferred from old neighborhoods, you will smell some unpleasant smell at courtyard. The breakfast is very basic, not buffet.

Awesome stay!”
We booked a family loft room and was impressed with the hotel - the courtyard and the loft room. It was located approximately 10 minutes from Dongxi station in the bustling area. Few Halal restaurants were about 15-20 minutes walk from the hotel and a big supermarket is just nearby. The beds (including the sofa bed) were made every evening - nice to rest after long walks during daytime. I have never written a review of any hotels that I have stayed but decided to do so for this hotel as it was a memorable stay for our family - highly recommended to all.

OK courtyard hotel ”
The hotel room was kept very clean, and there were fresh flowers in the room. Also, the hotel is located in an atmospheric hutong. The minus points were this hotel does not provide free drinking water in the room, and the shower's water flow is very small, almost like a mist. While this prevents excessive splashing of water in the tiny bathroom, it does take a long time to shower due to the small water flow. Front desk staff is friendly and can be better trained. It is quite disappointing when asking for sightseeing advice at the front desk to have the staff helplessly reply they don't know the details.

Great Location!”
The hotel location is great. Walking distance to Wangfujing Street. The subway is also within walking distance and is connected to most of the attractions. It would be good if hotel can consider offering complimentary water in the room. What is the point of having a kettle but no water provided. Housekeeping should be consistent, they did not wash the cups. It was left unwashed after I returned to the hotel end of day. However, the housekeepers and staff were still very helpful and accommodating.

Nice hotel. Good stay. Highly recommend.”
Friendly smiling cleaning staffs & helpful front desk staffs esp Huang. Clean comfortable room. No lift to 2nd floor so request for ground floor room if you have big heavy luggage. Have to deposit RMB250 (I used cash) for my 3 nights stay, fully refund upon checking out. Subway, 24hrs convenience store, shops, supermarket & eateries all within walking distance. Turn left after you exit fr Dongsi (东四) subway station Exit C, hotel is along the 2nd alley Lishi Hutong(礼士胡同).

Hotel location can be a bit difficult to find as it is located inside a hutong. Subway station is not far away from the hotel. Overall experience is good. Staff are friendly and helpful too.

Excellent option if you’re looking for a no frills good location hotel (close to the subway)”
Pros: close to the subway (5 min) and walking distance to Wangfujing Street. Room is simple but comfortable. Breakfast is prepared for each guest. Cons: staff almost doesn’t speak English

Small hotel near metro”
At walkong distance from the shoppingstreet and forbidden city a small hotel in a hujong. Don’t expect to much. The rooms are small, the bathroom is even more tiny. But the price is allright.

A great find in an awesome location ”
This hotel is a gem! The staff are totally awesome, especially Wang who helped us plan our days, locate train stations and even booked us tickets to an acrobat show! The front desk staff had a good level of English and were willing to help out with any request. We had a room with a private bathroom, it was a good size and very clean.

Skip this hotel for the price”
I thought this would be a good location in central Beijing, but it’s located on a small, dirty Hutong (alley). Our room was clean, and the air conditioning worked well, but it was on the small side for four people and the second “bed” for two people was a thin mat laid over boards. Breakfast was included for 3 of the 4 of us, but it is served offsite at a different Hotel 161 a block to the south. The American breakfast was unexpectedly excellent though.

Cosy room”
About 5 mins walk from the nearest subway. The pathway to the hotel was too uneven and renovation is still on-going to resolve it. Staff were good and were able to fullfill our needs. Bed were soft and room was cosy, basic amenities are all available. Only complain is the sound-proofing, could hear the neighbor talking/coughing at night.
