Xingshe Alley Courtyard Hotel Beijing Wangfujing Forbidden City

Nice and helpful people at reception. Convenient location, close to shops and food; about 40 min walk to forbidden city.

Nothing to see through the window.

Staff are friendly and can communicate well. Rooms are comfortable for us. Loved the free water. Location of the place is good too.

We had a very comfortable and pleasant stay. The property was clean, cozy, and well-maintained, and the staff were incredibly warm and accommodating. What stood out the most was the home-cooked breakfast served every day. We were originally told that breakfast starts at 9 AM, but because we had to adjust our schedule and leave around 8 AM, the staff went out of their way to prepare and serve our breakfast earlier so we could enjoy it before heading out. That level of care and flexibility really made us feel welcomed and looked after.

Honestly, there was very little to dislike about our stay. Everything was comfortable, and the staff were attentive and accommodating throughout. We really appreciated how they did their best to make things convenient for us, especially with our early breakfast request.

The hotel is very nice, located in Lishi Hutong so you get a very authentic experience. It’s also a very central location, leading to a street with amazing restaurant, coffee shops and shops. Staff was exceptional everyone was super nice and friendly, sadly don’t remember everyone’s names but special thanks to Ellie. And also a special shutout to Pudding for being the cutest.

All was good, though because it’s in a very narrow hutong some taxi drivers might not want to pick you up or drop you off at the door of the hotel.
