Eher ein Hostel
Wir waren ca eine Woche im Courtyard und haben einige Male ueberlegt ob wir icht lieber Hotel wechseln wollen. Die Angestellten konnten zum grossteil gut englisch und halfen uns dabei unseren Ausflug zur Mauer zu planen.

Dirty but charming and great location at awesome $
You get what you pay for - there’s not any service to speak of, and it’s quite dirty. But experience of staying in an authentic hutong, family run, is interesting and cultural for sure. Great for younger folks who can take a little lack of luxury. No heat in November and very cold. Also quite hard to find and not on my iPhone maps. However area is great - wonderful Cat cafe and Punk Rock Noodle restaurant around the corner, and quiet.

10/10 Exceptional

Extreme local charm
This is definitely not your chain hotel but a family ran b&b (without breakfast though) within authentic Beigjing courtyard complete with traditional style furniture. For the breakfast you just step out and buy it from street vendors for very competitive price. The only drawback is little sound proofing so if you're a sensitive sleeper a pair of earplugs could be helpful if your neighbors get overly romantic )).

コートヤードの名前に騙された
最悪の一言です。これは旅館とも言えない施設で、北京にふさわしくないです。タクシーの運転手にも敬遠された。絶対二度と泊まりたくないです。 全く『コートヤード』と関係ないと思います。

四合院造りのホテル
四合院と呼ばれる北京の伝統的な家をホテルに改築した施設です。 家具も伝統的なものを使用しており、とても興味深かったです。 まあ、安ホテルなので仕方がないのですが、エントランスは店員の居間と化しており、シャワールームのドアも壊れている等、なかなかの有り様です。 水回り自体はキレイに掃除されいたのでそこは安心しました。 どの地下鉄の駅も微妙に離れているのですが、逆に言えば何処なりとも比較的アクセスしやすく、北京市内を観光するには思ったよりもいい場所です。

Nice Chinese courtyard near drum tower Beijing
Great cultural immersion than to live couple days in hutong, I love Beijing but first just drink bottle water you will be ok. If you visit China but you come from the West no matter your ethnic background stay away from the street food as general rule, in the restaurant when the menu is Mandarin and English the foods are usually good for westerners. Beijing is safe city but like anywhere in the world watch for tourist trap example in silk market( yonganli) high pressure selling so bargain have fun be aware of electronics on 4th floor for cellphone check IMEI before you make a purchase. Forbidden city don't spent your money private tour guy the automatic tour guide system ATGS is great for 100 RMB, be aware of teahouse scam...the Chinese people are very nice and polite

Nice hotel, great service
The staff at the hotel are super friendly and they helped us a lot in our stay there. The room was small and cold, but the bed was comfortable and the location is great: easy to move around and lots of things to do nearby (shops, restaurants, etc). I recommend this place, you'll have a great time.

Nice hotel in old Beijing
The hotel is a nice little place in old Beijing. At first it is somewhat hard to find and the rooms are small -and cold, but the service is excellent. Beds are comfortable and rooms are quiet. Sam the manager is really helpful: he helped us make reservations for a tour to the great wall, he booked taxis for us and gave us all kind of useful advice to move around. Since we speak no Chinese -and people hardly speak English in China- his help made the difference. Some days after we left Beijing we noticed that we had forgotten some items in the room, and Sam was kind enough to send them to us to our hotel in Shanghai. The hotel is located in a narrow alley, but it is very close to restaurants with very good food and to the hutongs (interesting place to go local shopping). Metro station is within walking distance and very easy to use even if you speak no Chinese. Metro will take you to all interesting places in Beijing.

Fint men kallt
Hotellet ligger fantastiskt beläget men var iskallt i november. Vi fick heller inte sätta igång elementen. När vi lämnade rummet efter 12.00 en av dagarna blev det inte städat, vilket innebar att vi varken fick nya handdukar eller tömd papperskorg på toaletten. Väldigt fin gård och bra i övrigt.

Quartier extra
Séjour de 4 nuits à Pékin dans cet hotel au coeur des hutongs. Quartier extra à 15 minutes du métro et de la tour du tambour. Quartier familial et sympa. Très silencieux hotel simple décor un peu dépassé. Chambres donnant sur petite cour et super services rendus par Sam à la réception.

Solid guesthouse in great Beijing location
We enjoyed our stay at the Courtyard View Hotel. The hotel was nice and quiet and clean, and the location was unbeatable (close to Bell and Drum Towers, right in the middle of Dongcheng North). The price seemed a bit high for what you get, though we understand that Beijing is expensive, but the quality was fine overall.

Complete disaster after 13 hour flight
We came to the hotel after 13 hours flight from Toronto at 6pm Beijing time and found that we dont have a reservation. The clerk for 30 min looked thru emails and told us that they have not received anything from Hotels.com (even though I booked 3 weeks in advance) and suggested to come tomorrow to resolve the issue with a manager. We had to leave and find alternative accommodation without language, etc. I have made attempts to receive money back from hotels.com, but quite unsuccessful so far. General comments: It is rated 3 stars and 4 in reviews. It is gross misrepresentation. - Surrounding: It is located in a hutong. But even for the person who used to stay in hutongs, the surrounding are disgusting. I don think a middle age Westener can tolerate them - Lobby: dirty room 2x2m, which cant be referred as front desk or lobby - Rooms: all rooms were booked, so I did not have a chance to check them

Great cozy accomodation
We had an excellent stay at Courtyard View. It is a cozy local accommodation in a hutong which gives great insight to how locals live. The staff were AMAZING and made the trip, answering all our questions and giving us advice. They were so laid back and spoke English which helped, he even helped book a taxi for an early morning pick up and an amazing trip to the great wall (a further drive away) where we were 2 of about 20 people on the whole wall. It is a great location with local life all around from street food to Houhai Lake for a great night out and lots of local cafes. If we are ever back in Beijing we will be staying here.

Courtyard view is not a hotel. It is a home
I made reservation through Expedia and it was hard for the taxi to go in the narrow road in Old Beijing. So I had to use a three wheel bike to move stuff to the door. Manager told me that the standard room I reserved was not available so he will put me in a delux room then move me to the standard room. I was very tired and did not have a choice to argue about it. The room had no ventilation to outside except window of bathroom and outside door. There is an AC standing unit but it is basically circulating the air. I tried to open the window above the bed but it was sealed and could not open. The next morning manager told be to pack so that he moves my stuff to the standard room. I decided to call Expedia and they were prompt to cancel my reservations for the following three days. I moved to a hotel that was cleaner and had everything missing in this one and $10 cheaper. I strongly recommend finding a modern hotel outside old Beijing. The subway station or a tour company can bring you to the old sites so there is no need to sleep in Old Beijing. This area looks like refugee camp with dense populations and public bathrooms in the street.

Perfekt läge i hutongerna
Läget är perfekt i en gammal hutong och man får det det riktiga Kina. Det är lite svårt att hitta för taxichaufförerna att hitta. se till att ha adressen utskriven på kinesiska och att ha telefonnumret om dom behöver hjälp. (det med lappar på kinesiska dit du ska underlättar även i övrigt då mycket få kineser kan engelska) Det är något slitet men det tycker jag att man får räkna med i de gamla hutongerna. Finns lite fukt men man har satt in fuktslukare. Jag var väldigt nöjd med rummet som var inredd i kinesisk stil och det kändes som att ha en andra hem. Vi valde deluxerummet och tycker att det var väl värt pengarna. Personalen var väldigt trevliga och hjälpsamma. Vi fick tips på matställen, dom fixade utflykter och tågbiljett då vi skulle vidare till shanghai. Det var en enkel frukost men jag tyckte det var precis lagom. Vatten fanns att ta fritt i en kyl på innergården. Sängarna var verkligen sköna precis som många har skrivit tidigare. Jag skulle verkligen rekommendera en vistelse här!

Easy enough to find if you do the homework.
This is not a cookie cutter western style hotel room that you'll find in any city in China. This is a quaint, homely, authentic Beijing feeling stay in an awesome neighborhood. The service is not over the top, but whatever you need the Team here will get it done. Laundry? No problem and no charge. Need calls made in Chinese to ask about tickets for an event? They'll grab their cell and call that moment. The breakfast doesn't really exist but there is an awesome bun place with a huge selection on the nearest corner where you'll struggle to spend more then $US3. It's not that modern, but it's very clean and the beds comfortable. The walk from Andingmen station is a good 15min but it is so worth it to spend time in this area. East Gulou and the surrounding hutong area are brimming with local cultural activity, but not overrun by tourists. Overall we had a fun and comfortable stay here.
