The Harmony Courtyard & Beijing Siheyuan Hotel - Forbidden City

員工服務佳

房間濕氣較重

The place is quite unique if you want to experience the "courtyard house" concept. The surroundings are quiet, it is still a good experience for 1 or 2 nights

It's located at the end of the alley, total distance is just about 750m but driving needs 6 mins coz of the narrowness of the alley. Most Didi drivers are not willing to drive in coz it's pretty challenging honestly. We were quite puzzled if we arrive at the right hotel coz the entrance door looks much smaller than the photos on the website. The moment we stepped in, it felt like a ryokan (民宿). With avg. SGD350/night, deep in my heart I felt sth is off! There's this young lady who received us, and the first thing she did was get my credit card and make the transaction of our stay. Right after the payment was done, she told us that we needed to change room on the last night of our stay, we were told that rooms are assigned based on availability for the days/ period we booked (I mean which hotel doesn't do this?!). Despite all the unwillingness, she insisted that we have to change room. When I asked for iron/ steamer on the morning of the day we were supposed to move, I was told that the ONE & ONLY steamer is rented out to another room and the customer has yet to wake up. They can only send it to me when the customer wakes up! 🙄 While I couldn't even get a simple request fulfilled, she reminded me twice to pack my luggage and get ready for them to move to another room. When we were back at night on the 2nd night, we were told that they have upgraded us to an upper tier room FOC. This room looks more like a $350 room to me. We spent our last night in this "better" room packing our luggage and get ready to check out the next morning -__- Didn't really enjoy much tho.

Il personale è gentile e cerca di venirti incontro con il traduttore anche se non parlano inglese. Bello che ogni tanto ti portano un piatto di frutta. La stanza era pulita, anche le salviette. Colazione cinese ok anche per un occidentale. Le stanze sono tutte al piano terra, non è un palazzo, e questo è sicuramente un punto a favore perché c’è meno gente ed è più intimo

È situato in una via strettissima, difficilmente raggiungibile dalle auto senza fare la fiancata , quindi non comodissimo se serve passaggio fino all hotel, anche se su 3 delle volte che abbiamo preso taxi/Didi solo uno non è entrato nella via e ci ha lasciato sulla strada principale. Inoltre i bagni, come riscontrato spesso, non hanno una vera porta. La zona lavandino è praticamente in camera, mentre bagno e doccia sono divisi solo da una porta di vetro temperato che si appoggia (non si chiude effettivamente). In sostanza si sente tutto. Anche l’insonorizzazione non è il massimo

The staff were really kind and friendly, especially Xiao Ying who served us fruit and tea after we came back from sightseeing. Perfect location for visiting forbidden city or shopping. A calm and relaxing environment where we enjoyed our last night in Beijing. The breakfast was Chinese traditional style which really suits the place. We really enjoyed staying in this hotel.

A bit expensive.

Excellent courtyard hotel. Very nice staff, extremely helpful.

The hotel was quite expensive for what it is. It was almost triple the cost of a luxury hotel a few blocks away.

Struttura molto bella e pulita, staff molto accogliente e veramente tanto disponibile per le varie necessità.
