Beijing Houhai Gulou Courtyard Manxin Mansion

I recently stayed at the Houhai Gulou Courtyard Manxin Mansion and it was one of the most memorable hotel experiences I’ve had in Beijing. From check-in to check-out the staff were warm, helpful and friendly — it really felt like they cared about making our stay comfortable. What stood out most was the setting: we stayed in a beautifully restored siheyuan-style courtyard house in a quiet hutong, yet just a short walk to Guloudajie metro station and the lively Houhai area. The architecture, the layout, even the sound of birds in the courtyard gave a sense of place you don’t get in generic hotels. The room was modern, clean and well-equipped with nice touches (smart room controls with Xiao Du, good mattress, tasteful décor). Location-wise it’s excellent and perfect after exploring the nearby Gulou & Houhai area，a short walk to metro lines and many Hutong dining and cultural spots. I’d happily stay here again.

very nice，friendly service，good environment and can enjoy the authentic 四合院 feel. relax and cozy

Friendly and helpful staff. Clean and spacious room. Near subway.

Clean hotel and nearby metro station, staff friendly and got free snack and fruits from the hotel

This is a place full of surprises! People who love ancient architecture will surely enjoy it very much. Price is reasonable. The service staff are very friendly. There is also free photography. My photographer from 炫影旅拍摄, Xiao Li 小李, has excellent shooting skills and we are very satisfied. I will definitely choose this place again when I come to Beijing next time!

Wonderful experience! The hospitality provided by the hotel and staffs were topnotch! We landed early on a redeye flight and they warmly welcome check us in. Even providing breakfast knowing that we just came from the airport. Receving such warm hospitality makes a great start to our tour of Beijing, n indeed after a good rest we were ready to explore the rest of the day! Thoughout our stay, the frontdesk staff took care of our needs perfectly; everytime before we left to explore, they would provide us endless supply of water n drinks, cool patch for this hot summer n mozzie bands for the kids. My youngest child even got to know 1 of the frontdesk lady so well. The bonus was a tieup photography package that they had! N it was so well taken that we willing topup extras for the pics. We took w our own outfits within the hotel's courtyard compound, best part was the convenience n to just step outside your room for photography without the need to travel n without the massive crowd at outside attractions. The courtyard style is also what intrigued me to book here in the first place, simply love the authentic Chinese deco. The subway line 2&8 was jus right at the corner, less than 5mins walk. Ticks all boxes. Definitely recommended!
