The Harmony Courtyard & Beijing Siheyuan Hotel - Forbidden City

I recently had the pleasure of staying at this hotel and was thoroughly impressed with the exceptional service provided by the staff. From check-in to check-out, every interaction was warm, friendly, and professional. The front desk team, particularly 媛媛，妮妮 and 林艳 went above and beyond to ensure my stay was comfortable and convenient. The housekeeping staff kept my room immaculate, and the concierge provided valuable recommendations for local attractions. What stood out most was the genuine kindness and willingness to help from every staff member I encountered. Their dedication to providing outstanding hospitality made my stay truly unforgettable

The staff were super friendly and welcoming. Room was clean and comfortable, good location not too far from a subway (10 min walk) and lots of little independent shops and restaurants on the Main Street nearby.

Breakfast was good but only Chinese (not western) and we weren’t offered a vegetarian option - this may exist but we didn’t like to ask as it had already been put in front of us. No choice you just get a tray of items put in front of you - albeit these were very nice!

Location was great, breakfast was not really appealing

Staff very nice, friendly and helpful.

The location, room aesthetics, staff helpfulness, the atmosphere overall 10/10. Also appreciated that breakfast was more local. It is normal that the taxis don’t drive in the Hutong (as many people complain here) but I didn’t find it to be an issue when I used DiDi and either way it was easy enough to find from the main road.

This is a more Beijing quality, but due to the moisture and the building structure there can be a bit of moisture in the air and to me it reminds of a smell of moss. Also, little bit pricey, but worth the money for me, especially when traveling alone.

The hotel is well located, a short walk or DiDi ride to nearby attractions, yet the neighbourhood is quiet enough for a good rest. The property is quaint and has all the right vibes. Breakfast is fantastic and staff were friendly and professional.

The door couldn’t lock properly, needed some force to get it done. Pillows were too soft and some days I woke up with a headache.
