The best traditional courtyard hotel in China”
The Beijing Double Happiness Courtyard Hotel lived up to all my expectations of staying in a traditional courtyard hotel. I only wish my stay had been longer. The staff were very friendly and attentive, the location excellent for exploring the Dongcheng District hutongs, the Lama Temple, the Bell & Drum Towers and the Forbidden City. This was by far the best hotel I stayed in during this year's 2 week trip in China, as well as the 4 weeks I spent in China in 2012.

an amazing hotel in Chinese authentic style”
it was just one night i stayed in this amazing hotel in traditional chinese style but that was enough to be enchanted with. there are very friendly and helpful girls on the reception who offered me to book a taxi in advance. my room was for а single so it was not so big but very nice and clean with a lot of modern convenience stuff like sleepers, bathrobe, teaspot, complimentary water and even tea brewing. i really liked the interior in authentic style, it's very thing you can feel the atmosphere of old china. the breakfast was very huge, but full of chinese food. it would be nice to make some descriptions for local food because it's very specific for non-chinese. it's a real pity i stayed in beijing only one night, 'cause i had no opportunity to hang around the city. but i really hope to discover this historical place someday and start that with staying in the double happiness courtyard hotel

Charming Hotel with Amazing Staff”
My friends and I had such a great time here! First off, the staff is super friendly and helpful. They were able to give us directions to everywhere we wanted to walk to (it's super close to the Forbidden City and Tiananmen Square), called us taxis, told us the specific subway route and stops to take to get to the train station, and even reminded us to take our passports to the Forbidden City, which is not something we would've known to do. The rooms smaller than western-style hotels, but use the space efficiently, and the bathrooms are really nice - I loved their showerheads! We took advantage of the retractable clothesline in the bathroom to wash a few shirts and things - they provide laundry soap along with the other usual consumables like toothpaste and shampoo - and came back at the end of a long day of sightseeing to find that the staff had neatly folded our clothes for us once they'd dried! The breakfast spread is really good, and there's a lot of variety, so everyone should be able to find something they like. There's also a bar in the hotel, which we heartily took advantage of every evening. And although it's not usually something you look for in a hotel, I appreciated that they had souvenirs for sale in the lobby. They were a lot of the usual touristy things (fans, chopsticks, teacups, red lacquer bowls, figurines), but they were at totally reasonable prices. I bought a fan from them for 30 RMB that I later saw in a tourist-trap stall marked as 120! I doubt I would've been able to negotiate that low with my meager haggling skills. My only negative experience, and it has nothing to do with the hotel itself, was with finding a taxi to take us here when we first arrived in Beijing. It's down an alley, so one taxi didn't know where it was, and another just didn't want to drive there at all. It's only a short walk from the Dongsi subway station though, so I would suggest taking the subway here or, if you get a similarly uncooperative taxi driver, ask them to dro

The most special stay I've enjoyed in China!”
My friends had stayed at the Beijing Double Happiness Hotel in July, and couldn't stop talking about what a wonderful time they had. I feel the same way. I loved being in a Hutong neighborhood, and eating the food from the fabulous little shop up the street as well as the wonderful breakfast each day. It was one of the few times in four trips, I felt like I was actually in a Chinese Hotel instead of a generic four star palace that looks pretty much the same in every country in the world. The staff was fabulous!!!! So kind and willing to help. They always had money to change (not the case in the big fancy places). The bed was comfortable and the room cozy and inviting. I loved the old photos on the walls and the magazine racks between the rooms. And I loved walking to the subway which was close, and given the difficulty of finding taxis in Beijing, it was very convenient to have the subway only a few blocks away. If I get back to Beijing, I will stay no where else!

Old Beijing Charm”
Beijing Double Happiness Hotel is not a chic, modern, glamorous hotel. Instead, it is an iconic Old Beijing courtyard hotel located on a Hutong near the center of Beijing, and updated with modern conveniences such as A/C, WiFi and modern bathrooms. The staff is friendly, courteous and helpful. Breakfast is bountiful and delicious. The rooms and the rest of the hotel are as shown on their website. The bed is very firm, but not hard; we found it very comfortable. We are already planning our next visit to this hotel.

Very good”
my stay at the hotel was very good. I would say the staff was outstanding. Their English was more than adequate. They were always there when I needed them for help and there attitude was great. The rooms were cleaned extremely well with a complete wipe down of everything. This hotel is something out of the past. If your looking for that you would find it there. If your preference is for a up scale modern hotel, don't bother. For a true Chinese experience out of the past check out The Beijing Double Happiness Courtyard Hotel. Oh Yea! The price is right.

good place”
Went for my "2nd" honeymoon in beijing after reading lots of good review on this hotel and decided to give it a try. Especially they have a wedding suite and the room is really a very authentic Chinese wedding room! Being a Chinese and staying in city area this is a good experience to stay in such traditional place. Although the room is not as big and grand as the 5 stars hotel we are very happy with our choice. They even gave us a wine for our celebration. The hotel located near the subway station abt 5 to 10 mins walk. It is centrally located and is one of interchanges. As this is a residential area the streets are dim when you come back at night. Taxi driver are not willing to drive in but it is very near to walk in the alley from outside. The residents are also friendly and the place is safe. Just don't walk alone if possible. The day tour is good and the lunch provided with the tour is delicious too. The staff are helpful and speak good English. Will recommend this place if you would like to experience staying in a courtyard.

Fantastic, charming, cozy hotel.”
Great location, 10 min. walk from nearest subway stop, right in heart of Beijing in a cool hutong alleyway. The staff were super friendly and very helpful recommending restaurants, shortcuts, things to do and see, etc. I will definitely be staying at the Double Happiness Courtyard next time I'm in Beijing. No need for a western hotel, this was great! Room had a very clean bathroom, small fridge, safe, tv. The courtyard outside the room was charming. They have a small, cozy bar that also serves pretty good food.

Excellent cultural experience”
This is the best hotel I stayed in Beijing. If you want to experience Chinese Culture in depth, you do not want to miss this hotel. The hotel is a heritage courtyard house of an ancient scholar back in the emperor's day (ask the luggage boy, he will tell you all about it). The layout of the rooms and garden, and the interior of the rooms and furniture are all very ancient style (not some cheap furniture), which will bring us back to the emperor's day, just like what you see in the movies. The staffs are all very friendly and polite, the receptionists and even the luggage boy. The luggage boy spend time tell us a lot about the history of this hotel, which make it more meaningful when you stayed in there. The location of the hotel is very near the City centre, in the alley way (hutong), but no big departmental store nearby. However it does give you a feel when you walk thru the hutong to the main street (quite safe in the hutong as there is a police station next to the hotel). 10 mins walk will bring you to a subway station, which will bring you to the downtown shopping area within 3 stations. Free wifi and broadband computer in the room, very handy. I will definitely stay in this hotel again if I go to Beijing as it leaves a very good impression.

Great choice to see hutong life”
The Double Happiness Courtyard Hotel is a beautiful hotel in the hutongs of Beijing. The hotel and its courtyards are beautifully decorated. There are even birds out in the entry in the mornings. The breakfast is amazing... a huge spread with some of the best Chinese food I've ever had. The staff are excellent and helped us with so many things like calling taxis, translating place names for us to give to taxi drivers in other cities, and letting us keep our bags there after we checked out. A big plus also was the free Wifi. I had a few problems though with this hotel. I know that beds are notoriously hard in China, but this was ridiculous. It was by far the hardest, most uncomfortable bed during our 2-week stay in China, and we even slept in trains. Also the hotel seemed a bit pricey. It wasn't extremely pricey but it was kind of expensive for China. The good points outweighed the bad, though. I would stay here again. We really enjoyed our walks through the hutong to and from the hotel. Not very easy for taxis to drive around in though.

Doubly Happy With Our Stay”
Fantastic stay at the Double Happiness for a long weekend. Staff are simply awesome - extremely helpful, knowledgeable and very personable. Hotel is well placed to access tourist sites like Tianenman Sq and Forbidden City (we took a long walk directly although the Metro station is a short walk). Rooms are really quaint with a true Chinese style, ye still comfortable. Staff also well placed to arrange excursions. Only real negative was the taxi situation.Not the hotel's fault but a point of interest is that taxis don't like going down the long alleyway that the hotel is situated on..Be prepared to still walk 500m and not get dropped off at your door. Strongly recommend this above a generic chain hotel experience

Very comfortable stay & cool, cultural courtyard”
We had an awesome stay at Beijing Double Happiness Courtyard Hotel. Located in a hutong, the design and layout are very traditional Chinese, but very comfortable and cute. The rooms were very warm in the cold winter, and the showers were hot. The staff was super friendly and the buffet breakfast was delicious!

A must stay in Beijing.”
If you've never stayed here during your trip to Beijing, you've practically never been to Beijing. Awesome courtyard experience. This hotel managed to maintain its rustic olden chinese courtyard charm with integration of modern facilities. Amazingly clean hotel surroundings and rooms with private toilets. free wifi and each room equipped with PC with internet. turn down service for the evening, didn't expect a small hotel to provide such service. At night, the hotel location seems to become a dark secluded side street amongst other dwellings, but no worries about safety and security as there is a police station few blocks away from the hotel. Felt safe to walk around late at night. Good breakfast with local delights in its cozy restaurant. Extremely helpful and outgoing staff whom are able to converse in good english. The usual Amenities can be found along the main streets, 5mins walk away. I'll be back

A very pleasant stay”
Enjoyed my mid-winter visit to Beijing while staying at this hotel. The staff were warm, accommodating, and generous. The reception staff helped with multiple queries I had, from local food recommendations, to understanding the culture of bargaining in Beijing. The housekeeping was great. The courtyard setting is much more interesting than a western hotel. The range of food at the breakfast buffet was excellent- from traditional Chinese snacks to nice fresh fruit. I was happy walking from the hutong to Dongsi subway station, and using this as a launchpad for exploring Beijing.

The Best Hotel in Beijing”
I love this hotel. I have stayed here twice and would choose to stay here again if I was passing through Beijing again. The hotel is right in the middle of the Hutongs and in a perfect place for exploring the little alleys that make up this district. It's also very close to the metro for easy access to the rest of the city. The rooms are quirky and traditional. The atmosphere is relaxed and traditional. At night the courtyards are lit up with lanterns. The hotel is very quiet and peaceful. The staff are really helpful and friendly. The breakfast is a great big Chinese banquet. I would highly recommend staying here. As a hotel, it has a lot more charm than the big foreign chain hotels in Beijing.

Peaceful retreat in a busy city!”
this hotel was recommended to me by my coordinator, so when i knew i'd have 4 days in beijing i took advantage and spent one night at the dh. i wish i had booked my entire stay there. the staff at the desk was welcoming and their english was excellent. they upgraded my room which was a welcome surprise! the room was stunning and the courtyard peaceful. free computer in the room and wifi in the hotel. i checked in then walked around the hutongs for a while, when i returned my bed was turned down. i would strongly recommend this hotel to anyone - it was a wonderful experience and if i get back to beijing i will definitely book this hotel for my entire stay. lots of shops around for fresh fruit/convenience stores/etc. as well as small shops selling a variety of items. lots of restaurants (it is china) in the area. i didn't eat at the dh - so i can can't comment on the food. only downside is that some taxis won't go down the hutong - so it might be a hike with your luggage. however, this isn't related to the hotel itself. they were able to call a taxi for me and it came right to the front door.

High expectations partly met”
This is a hard stay to review because my expectations of the place were so high that there was the chance I might be disappointed with some aspects. The room (honeymoon suite) itself was excellent, with beautiful decor which gave it a really individual twist. We also loved the courtyard layout and the little touches such as the vast range of reading material available in the courtyard seating areas, and the fruit bowl that was delivered to our room. The location is good and staff were attentive. I suppose my only gripe relates to the price. We have stayed in other courtyard accommodation in Beijing at a tiny fraction of the cost of the Double Happiness, and so in that sense I think we were expecting slightly more, for example in terms of the standard of the breakfast, which, although varied, comprised largely of tinned fruit, cake/pastries and other, pre-packaged dessert products. Fine, but the price of our stay was not far off that of a 5 star hotel we stayed in in Singapore, where the breakfast was far superior (a lot more fresh produce, for example). We also slightly resented paying the RMB equivalent of £3 for a can of soda water in the bar. Overall, the stay was a good experience, and I'm glad we tried it out, but I wouldn't stay again because of the fact that I think paying close to £100 a night should get you a little more in Beijing.

Wonderful Stay, Wonderful Place!”
What a wonderful stay in a quaint, traditional style in hutong. The facility is very nice with all that you could want as you visit Beijing. The hotel staff was unbelievably friendly and helpful during our stay and helped us get on a tour of the Great Wall as well. This was my first trip to China and I truly felt the atmosphere was such a welcome change from the normal hotel experience. The courtyards were wonderful and inviting, the bar/dining area was relaxing and the breakfast buffet was a nice mix of western and chinese foods. Rooms were really special, very clean and welcoming. Jacqueline, Joy, Coco, Miss Wan & Michael made each encounter pleasant & really made my husband and I feel at home. They even upgraded our room to a wonderful suite, a very pleasant surprise!! Thank you all for a really nice stay and unbelievable hospitality. Xiexie!! If in Beijing I would highly recommend staying here if you can.

great little hotel”
Don't be alarmed when your taxi pulls into the hutong (alley). You will wonder what you've let yourself into. Don't worry, the Double Happiness is great. the staff are wonderful, the rooms are great and there's a good bathroom.Don't be afraid to use the subway, it's an easy way to get around, and all the stations are listed in English as well As Chinese. Because we had caught the red-eye from Bangkok arriving into Beijing at 6.30 we had pre-arranged a private car. We had arranged to go to the Great Wall, the Lama Temple and then be dropped off at the hotel. WE found this to be a great way to get to the hotel and make the most of the day. The driver was terrific, and we managed to use a day that otherwise would have been wasted. A great way to get to the hotel

Great little hotel!”
This was our first time in China and it was a bit overwhelming. We really didn't know what to expect and it is a culture shock to say the least. Staying at the Double Happiness probably was the best choice we made. We really enjoyed staying in a Hutong and not a big Americanized hotel in the midst of the concrete jungle that is Beijing. The breakfast alone is darn near worth the price. A buffet with a nice mixture of local and western foods so everyone should be able to find something. There's enough food each morning to eat as much as you'd like. The hotel is old but immaculate. There's quite a large staff of cleaning people and they take their job seriously. Easily the cleanest place we've ever stayed! The staff at the front desk was friendly, helpful, and they spoke English quite well. They would bend over backwards to help you with whatever you needed. We already miss them! The subway's not far and it's cheap and easy to use.
