Beijing Houhai Gulou Courtyard Manxin Mansion

I am extremely satisfied with my stay at this hotel, especially with the exceptional service attitude that made me feel truly welcomed and cared for. The environment is beautiful, exuding a charming and traditional atmosphere that allows guests to deeply experience the unique essence of a Beijing Siheyuan. From the exquisite architectural design to the meticulously arranged decor, every detail immerses you in a space where tradition and modernity blend seamlessly. Whether it’s the comfortable accommodations or the warm and attentive staff, everything here leaves a lasting impression. This stay has given me wonderful memories, and I will definitely choose this place again on my next visit to Beijing!

Had a very happy stay with my elderly parents and will definitely stay here again if in Beijing next time. Hotel is situated inside a small alley, near to the main road and 5mins walk away from a very convenient metro interchange station - Gulou Dajie (鼓楼大街). Can board either Line #2 or #8 from here, both of which leads directly to Beijing’s main attractions and major railway stations. Hotel used to be the home of a high-rank official in Ming Dynasty, now converted into rooms which open directly into a courtyard (a traditional building style in Old Beijing). As it’s wood architecture, noise proofing isn’t the best. Not a big concern for us as it is a quiet neighborhood, only can hear the occasional loud conversations from other guests walking by. Different stay experience from typical hotel rooms as the courtyard is a peaceful place for some tea, chit chat or general relaxing and star gazing after a tiring day’s walk. Compliments to the very helpful and friendly service staff for a wonderful staying experience too. Every time we go to reception to ask questions, the staff are always quick to offer drinks while waiting. My parents’ room was a little stuffy (floor heating was turned up) and they immediately brought us a humidifier/air fan to improve air circulation. There was also a small snack bag for each of us when checking out. Overall a very happy stay.

The hotel has a beautifully restored courtyard house vibe, with friendly and helpful staff. They offer 小吊梨 drinks and famous 稻香村 pastries, and I got a free room upgrade, the room quite spaciou as well. One of the night did laundry late, I request them after finshed washed send to my room, the next morning they delivered, and even folded it for me—great service! They also provided plenty of bottled water and a humidifier. The location is super convenient—烤肉刘 is right outside, and it's a 10–15 min walk to the Drum Tower, Nanluoguxiang, and Shichahai. Even taking a Didi is quick and affordable. Highly recommend for a traditional Beijing siheyuan stay. Would definitely return!
