We loved the charm of this hotel and the location, which was a close to the subway, autoteller and local shops, including a pastry/coffee shop. It was up a quiet Hutong (small side road) off a busy road. The people who worked there were fantastic and very helpful. Our room was exactly like the photos and a highlight of our... More

We traveled to China in January and we were two of very few guests of the hotel. There was always an English speaking staff representative available, and the employees bent over backwards to assure our stay was enjoyable. This was a beautiful courtyard hotel though located off on a small alley-street and across from some construction (and down from a... More

We traveled as a couple with our 12 year old daughter, and enjoy the small, quirky places with a little charm and personality. What a disappointment! First, Do Not even consider staying here if there are more than two persons in your room, even children. The cot for the third person (at 150 RMB/night) was unusable -- most of the... More

We like to stay at little off beat hotels when we are traveling. Haoyuan Hotel is one of those. It is quiet and quaint. It is also totally overpriced for what you get, which is minimal service, bugs in the room, and a mediocre breakfast. There were 3 of us in the room. We required an extra bed. We have... More

My husband had previously stayed at the Haoyuan in 2007 when on a business trip, and was suitably impressed, such that he was keen to stay there again when on holiday. We negotiated a good rate via email of 600 yuan per night (approx £60) for a standard room. The hotel is situated in a very ordinary street, and being... More

My wife and I couldn't have been happier with the Haoyuan. The courtyard style was great, just a place to relax and have a beer after walking and walking all day long. It was truely a little getaway every time we entered. The front desk was very helpful writing address in Chinese even though their English wasn't that good. We... More

Thanks to BA technical problems we were 24 hours late to Beijing so missed a night in this great littel guesthouse-just two courtyards with rooms round. You can sit out and see the sky-no high rise in sight. The littel restaurnat will open if you want it to, but you can walk to local restaurants. teh rooms are lovely-old fashioned,... More

Unfortunately the HAOYUAN didn't live up to it's hype. * I was looking forward to a scenic hutong setting - in fact it is located in a non descript side road, opposite a building site. * At reception, when requesting the use of a WC (our room wasn't ready and we had just come from Xian on the overnight train)...

Visited Haoyuan late april and stayed for four nights. I had a standard room in the outer yard fully furnished in traditional Chinese style complete with very comfortable beds with silk beddings. Modcons consisted of a TV - only national channels and a modern bathroom which was very nice. The outer yard lent it's magic with some 40 red lanterns... More
