Guipu Courtyard Hotel

the staff help me upgrade the room

Hotellet er meget low-budget, men der er daglig rengøring og oprydning. Receptionen er rimelige til engelsk, og meget hjælpsomme. Det ligger bekvemt for Subway'en, og i et kvarter hvor man har mulighed for at indsnuse noget autentisk lokal kolorit og prøve almindelig kinesisk mad i de mange restauranter på vejen. Der er også mange små forretninger med frugt og dagligvarer

位置好，适合旅游的人住。其他都相当一般。

酒店位置很棒，住宿条件相当一般。房间小，卫生条件一般。如果是来玩个情调拍拍照片的话可以住一下，如果是想真正住好的话就算了。

This hotel's target market is domestic Chinese guests. As such, the level of amenities expected is different than what we expect in the U.S. Additionally, the hotel is not in a tourist-centric area, so you get a more authentic China experience, but you also spend time walking through a neighborhood that appears to be dedicated to shops selling materials for commercial ventilation. Finally, the physical plant of the hotel has seen better days, though some of that is the fact that the hotel has been made out of buildings from an older part of Beijing - it is in a hutong. We enjoyed our stay. The amenities were basic, but well done. We did not go to China to spend time in our hotel room, but when we did, we were comfortable. We went in April. I am not sure if it would be as comfortable in the summer heat. We purchased a small fan on our first day in China so that we could moving air for sleeping, which worked well for us. The staff did not speak much English, but were very pleasant and very helpful, going out of their way for us several times during our stay there. Close to the Ping Anli subway stop. The courtyard was a pleasant change from the bustle of Beijing.

For this price the hotel must have breakfast. The reception didn't know place to visit and they don't understand the map of the city!!

Waren 2 Tage vor Ort. Haben das erste Zimmer gewechselt, da im ersten Zimmer zwischen Bad und Schlafzimmer keine Tür war und man quasi vom Bett auf die Toilette gucken konnte. Zweites Zimmer war besser. Klein und gemütlich auch wenn sich hier die Schiebetür zum Badezimmer auch nicht vollständig schließen ließ. Außen am Hotel stand außerdem ein anderer Name als angegeben. Ansonsten war das Personal sehr freundlich und unheimlich bemüht. Allerdings sprechen sie im Prinzip kein Englisch. Es war nur eine Person da, die ein paar wenige englische Wörter konnte. So hat uns das Buchen unseren Weiterfluges ganze 1 1/2 Stunden gekostet, das war schon etwas Kräfte zehrend. Unsere Tour zur Mauer haben wir deshalb auch gleich in einem anderen Hotel gebucht.

Honestly, I was overall satisfied with this hotel. (By the way, it's now called "Super 8" not "Lotus") Room service came by everyday to clean the room and the hutong style of the hotel was quite quaint and a unique experience. However, I would label this as something between a hostel and hotel. Definitely not up to hotel standards. My room was spacious and the air conditioner was very efficient, but if I didn't get the discount I did on the room I wouldn't have stayed there. The bathroom was just a sectioned off part of the room with no door. The room smelled ok for the most part, but sometimes the shower or toilet let off a stink that permeated the whole room. All around the bottom of the wall was a black stain which was a bit disconcerting. Overall, it's ok, just not worth the price.

While the courtyard is very cool to look at, the windowless room got depressing and the hotel itself was hard to find. The staff did speak some English, more than other hotels however it may be priced higher than it's worth. Get a discount if you plan to stay here!

The guys try their best to fix it up all the time. But the main problem is with the bathroom. The smell coming out of it is just disgusting. Price is too much for such bad quality. I wouldn't go there again even if I could stay for free. As a former backpacker, I have been staying at hostels all around the world, but this one is one of the worst I have ever seen.
