Hutongs used to be tradicional neighbourhoods with communal houses, with families sharing interior gardens. Many of them turned into nice familiar hotels, and Citycourt is one of kind (actually its name is Beijing City Courtyard Hotel, ok?). Just about 10 bedroom, no breakfast included,wifi complimentary, very nice prices, about US$ 40 for a twin (in the net). Cable tv, good... More

Convenient location, giant length bed(!) in the single room. Comfortable ensuite room and pleasant courtyard setting. Situated in the hutongs, very nice area to stay in for a holiday. Hot shower, but limited so don't take too long in the shower! Unfortunately had a couple of surprises, such as the night porter making us pay for the rooms when we... More

My husband and I visited my family for 2 weeks in October and booked all 13 nights in Citycourt Hotel. The hotel is very safe with 24 hour front desk staff. They lock the front doors after a certain hour, 2am maybe, but there are always staff to answer the door bell. Our room had its own card access door.... More

The staff were friedly and spoke some English. The decor of the rooms was pleasant in a more traditional Chinese style. Anyone hoping to find a soft bed in China will again be disappointed. We found this hotel to be very good value. It was only slightly let down by it's location with a 10-15 walk to the nearest subway... More

I booked 13 nights at Beijing City courtyard hotel through a company called Super Saver along with my flying tickets. If you are tired of those big star hotels and want to try something real Beijing feeling then this intimate courtyard hotel right in the heart of the ancient Hutong area is for you. The rooms are small and basic... More

If you want to see the real-deal Beijing and live amongst the Chinese then this place is for you. Sometimes I go 5* and other times I prefer a realistic view on a city, and this is the later. The staff were super friendly and helpful. The courtyard is delightful and very relaxing. The local area is a maze of... More

My travel agent booked the Citycourt Hotel for me during a 3 night stay in Beijing...when I saw the hotel online it looked nice enough, and I liked the idea of staying in a hutong, so I thought... The hotel is more like a hostel, and is in the Beijing hutong area, which is a collection of older communities...a good... More

I went in the latter half of March 2011, which seemed an ideal time. I was lucky with sunny, dry, mild, spring-like weather across all 5 days, and had no problems with the sanitation smells some others have mentioned. This is a great little place for the traveller who is willing to stay in no-frills accomodation, but who wishes to... More

I live in Beijing and recently had a friend come visit me, and as my home is a typical, Westernized apartment complex far away from the "pulse" of the city, I booked her a room at the Citycourt Hotel. This choice could not have been better: Citycourt is a genuine hutong hotel with very clean, traditionally furnished rooms facing a... More
