If you are expecting "western" style luxury (i.e.: Four Seasons, Ritz or Shangri-La) this is not the hotel for you. If you are looking for a clean, comfortable, charming hutong experience than you should definitely book this property. This is a 800 year old hutong (residents of this area use to provide goods & services to the Imperial Family) that... More

I booked this bed and breakfast for our Beijing trip when my parents came to visit me in China and we were all very pleased. While we stayed there at the beginning of November, we made it just in time for the first snowfall in Beijing and the courtyard was quite enchanting in the snow. Regardless of the snow outside,...

I have stayed before at Double Happiness, a similar hutong hotel in Beijing. I have to give the nod, between the two, to Courtyard 7. I think it is probably a bit more expensive, but its location is better and the courtyard more open and genuinely relaxing. That said, I'd happily stay in either one again. It is delightful, after...

Me and my partner stayed here for 4 nights in April and loved it! Having been to Beijing 4 times prior and always staying in western hotels, the Courtyard 7 gives you a taste of ancient Chinese lifestyle in the Hutongs. The rooms are refurbished with modern amenities and are very comfortable. We stayed in the standard room which are... More

We spent a week there in december 2012. The rooms are cozy and traditional-looking (we had a heated floor, excellent for the winter). The staff was very very helpful for all the questions we had (food/restaurant reservations, directions, taxi/tours to the great wall, shopping, attractions) and speak a good level of english for this part of the world. The hotel... More

We've been touring around China for the last couple of weeks and I have to say Courtyard 7 has even by far the best hotel. The staff are extremely helpful and their English is very good. Nothing is too much of a problem either. The hotel itself is typical for a Chinese Hutong with all rooms looking onto the courtyard.... More

The staff here greeted us warmly at the start of our four-night stay and carefully took the time to guide us to our room through the various courtyard entrances/exits. Arriving at our room, we received a thorough overview of the various amenities. The staff’s english was excellent and breakfast was superb. Courtyard 7 is just off a side street of... More

Used this hotel during a business trip in April 2013. The hotel is perfect for business in combination with experiencing some of the Chinese culture in Beijing. Very helpful and friendly staff! It was even possible to leave our luggage for more than a week while traveling to other parts of China.

I was travelling on my own and was looking for a different hotel, Chinese style away from the mainstream. This hotel was recommended by my tour company Bespoke Beijing and it was a gem, nestled in the Hutongs. There were only the small rooms available when I booked in January, and they are really small, try and get the bigger... More
