Hotels With Bar in Beijing, China

We had an excellent stay at UrCove by HYATT Beijing Forbidden City. The hotel was spotless, and the cleanliness truly stood out throughout our entire visit. The location is perfect — very convenient for exploring the Forbidden City and nearby attractions. The service was outstanding. The staff were friendly, attentive, and always willing to help with recommendations and any requests we had. The amenities were modern, well-maintained, and made our stay very comfortable. The hotel also offers free self-service laundry, which was a huge plus for our family and made our trip even more convenient. Overall, a fantastic experience for families. Highly recommended, and we would definitely stay here again!

Hotel is much smaller than we expected. The hotel is located in an alley and no access by vehicle hence there is no drop off point directly at the hotel. Will be inconvenient if on rainy days. The hotel staff are friendly and attend to our feedback promptly. We booked a family room which can allow for 4 adults but we only have 3 adults. The beds are queen size and comfortable. However, the room is really small and there is no gaps to walk to the beds after we lined our luggage between the bed and tv console. The luggage cannot be opened if we place below the TV console so we had to place the luggage on the TV console. The space supposed for us to put a luggage can only fit in 20inch luggage. We really have difficulties to out 26 and 28inch luggage. Other than this, the room cleanliness and toilet is OK. Location is convenient as just less than 10min to wang fu jing street and metro. However, I left my popmart items in a paper bag on my unlocked luggage but it was lost when we back to hotel. I would say the hotel will be suitable for travellers with carry on luggage only.

“A hutong represents half of China.” I never expected to find such a hidden gem of a hotel in Shijia Hutong. I initially thought hutongs would only have old buildings and was worried the photos might be misleading. But when I arrived, I was pleasantly surprised to find the hotel’s style quite modern! I loved the window next to the bed; I could soak in the rare winter sun while gazing at the hutong – it was incredibly relaxing. The bathroom had a separate wet and dry area, and a heated towel rack, which, as someone from the south, I absolutely adored! 😂 The hotel also has a terrace, but it was closed, probably due to the cold winter weather. I can imagine it would be fantastic in the summer.

Cannot recommend this hotel enough, absolutely marvelous stay! The hotel is trendy, modern and unique. I'd say it's very suitable for a young crowd and families with young children. The hotel is located steps away from the airport express line to Beijing Capital Airport and subway line 10 making it highly accessible to the rest of the city. There's a shopping centre, Galleria, about a 2 minute walk away as well. The room isn't large, in my opinion, however it's a good size for 1 person. It's well lit and tastefully designed. There's a comfortable amount of space to open a full sized check-in suitcase. Slippers, towels, water, cups and a kettle are provided. There's a mini fridge with more water and pop. Shampoo, conditioner, and body wash are provided in the shower. The overall design is modern, clean and welcoming. The gym is spacious and well lit with many mirrors. It has the essentials to fit in a good workout while away from home. There are also complimentary mini water bottles in the gym. The laundry room is right next up the gym and very simple to use. There are 4 machines and you can actually check the use status on the television in your room. Wash your clothes first on the bottom machine, no need to add detergent, it's already built in. After the wash cycle, move your clothes up the dryer on top. The wash and dry cycle takes just under an hour. My clothes came out fresh and clean! The breakfast buffet is one of the best I've seen! There's an amazing selection of Chinese and Western food. Breakfast starts at 7am and there's plenty of seating. The only improvement I would recommend is adding a selection of tea. There's also complimentary dim sum every day at 10pm. Dumplings, sui mai, pork buns and red bean buns and tea are available in the lobby, perfect for when you're craving a little snack at night! One thing to note, that's not entirely within the hotel's control: although it's a non smoking hotel with No Smoking signs everywhere, some guests may ignore the signs and smoke anyways. There's a very faint, lingering trace of the smell of cigarettes in the bathroom due to the ventilation. It was VERY faint so it didn't bother me but I did notice it at times. There was also one morning I left the room and the entire floor REEKED of cigarettes. By the time I came back late in the afternoon, the smell had been cleared. The hotel seems very adept at handling this situation so it really did not impact my stay. However, if you are super sensitive to cigarette smoke, this may be something to be mindful of. Overall, amazing stay and I'd definitely come again!

The room was comfortable and provided a good night’s sleep. One of the highlights of this hotel is the in-room washer and dryer, which is very convenient, especially for longer stays. The room is also well equipped with a microwave, a sink, and basic kitchen utensils, making it suitable for light cooking. However, the bed arrangement may not be ideal for adults, as accessing the bed requires climbing a ladder. Regarding breakfast, during our seven-night stay, the menu was quite repetitive with little variation. Overall, it is a comfortable and practical accommodation, particularly for guests who value in-room facilities, though there are some aspects that could be improved.

This hotel exceeded my expectations. From the moment I arrived, the staff made me feel welcomed and well taken care of. The room was spotless, quiet, and very comfortable. I slept well every night and truly enjoyed my stay. After check-out, they generously offered to store our luggage for free, which made our travel plans much easier and more relaxed. They even welcomed us back later so we could take pictures, which was such a thoughtful and warm gesture. I appreciate the great service and would absolutely choose this hotel again on my next trip.

Check-in was quick and easy, and there's a parking lot with a discounted rate for guests. We also got free admission to the Aoga Art Museum and a complimentary glass of house-brewed beer at the Hard Rock Cafe. The room wasn't huge, but it was well-designed, very comfortable, and had no strange odors. The shower water temperature and pressure were perfect. The bed felt a little soft and saggy, but the pillows were comfortable. The overall ambiance was fantastic – oil paintings lined the hallways and rooms, and the lobby sculptures were great for photos. The elevator required a key card to go up, and it was quiet and smooth – much better quality than many other hotels. Thumbs up!

Location & Transportation: Excellent. Within a ten-minute walk, you can reach Wangfujing Street. The hotel is also within a ten-minute walk to the subway station (it's located between China Art Museum and Jinyu Hutong stations on Subway Line 8). There are several 'must-try' restaurants from the 'Must-Eat List' nearby, though the queues can be crazy. Dining: I had both breakfast and dinner. The variety isn't huge, but several dishes were very tasty. For breakfast, my personal favorites were the pan-fried buns and roujiamo (Chinese meat burger). I also had a bowl of noodles every day (with many different toppings). The stir-fried dishes changed almost daily and were freshly made and delicious. Service: Very generous, warm, and proactive. Room Facilities: We had a twin room. The beds couldn't be pushed together, but thankfully, they were 1.4 meters wide, which was quite spacious.

This hotel is very distinctive and quite similar to the one I stayed at in Japan. It has a beautiful garden and a fishpond. The kids were having a great time in the garden. When I came back at night, the lighting was very beautiful and perfect for taking photos. I chose this hotel after watching a video by travel blogger sam&amy. This choice was correct. The staff are very friendly and can communicate in English. The coffee in the cafe on the first floor is very good and there are many books to read. It only takes a few minutes to get to the subway station, and it only takes 15 minutes to reach Tiananmen Square and the Forbidden City by subway. It takes only five minutes to walk to Panjiayuan Antique Market. I chose the king-size bed room. The bed was very comfortable and the room was very quiet. Free water, snacks and coffee were provided. It was great. The gym and laundry room are free, which is great for me. The breakfast was also very sumptuous. I really like noodles. They are extremely delicious. When I checked out, they gave me sugar-coated haws to taste (a very famous Beijing snack, made with hawthorn and sugar, very Chinese).

Good location, walking distance from Wangfujing. Excellent stay. Smooth check-in for my prepaid booking (1,000 RMB deposit required). The hotel features beautiful classic decor and spacious rooms. The shower pressure was impressive and the breakfast offered a wide variety of choices. Highly recommended.
