The noise from a water system at night!

The nice courtyard setting and it lying on a Hutong! Very nice and caring staff and a hotel pigeon!

Located in a typical hutong at the heart of Beijing. The premises are lovely and they combine tradition authenticity with comfort and practicality. Great location for visiting the city. The staff is very helpful and friendly and they speak English. Communication was easy and pleasant.

Location and the room was perfectly adapted for a family with 3 kids.

The colour of the room takes some getting used to and the staff don't speak much English but they try and help you as much as they can.

The hotel is located in a hu tong which give it a wonderful Flair. Youre in the centre of Beijing and yet when you sit on the terrace or in the courtyard it's incredibly quiet. It's very nicely decorated and has all necessary amenities. The staff is very helpful.

The Hutong was beautiful, nicely decorated with very friendly staff, with a perfect location.

1) accessibility We wanted to experience the hutong. But this hotel is located in a very narrow lane (hutong). Lots of vehicles parked on the side and moving vehicles in the lane, hence hard to walk with kids. 10min walk from main road, 15min at night/ with kids/ with snow or ice Many private hire drivers cancelled our trip or dropped us at the main road ( we had to walk in the cold). Driver complained lane too narrow. Locals mentioned we were treated differently cos we are foreigner Palace museum is 30min walk away from hotel. 2) dirty floor. Tissue black when cleaning water spill and lots of hair stuck to our socks. Indoor slippers provided though 3) breakfast Breakfast 730 to 930, but buffet food and beverage ran out by 845 to 9 and no replenishment. Insufficient cups/plates/bowls always. Cold milk only, but staff helpful to warm milk upon request. 4) no luggage stand. We have to lay all luggages on the floor. Staff were helpful to get 2 stools for my parents room upon request 5) slow drainage at shower ( heavy usage cos 4pax) Staff prompt when we fedback. Solution: flush the toilet bowl to improve the drainage flow at shower 6) towels right above the toilet bowl. Suggest to keep towels away from toilet bowl, I'm sure not all guests will close the lid before flushing

1) kettle. Keep warm mode is useful for winter 2) 24 hour desk. friendly and helpful staff( esp yuan yuan). She helped us with palace museum tickets booking and 6seater hire to Great wall. Staff would helped with luggages ( need to carry the luggages through the main door over a high kerb, can't pull in) 3) comfortable matteress/ pillow/blanket. We slept well 4) comfortable bathrobes. Staff replaced daily and would hang in toilet for our convenience ( we have to take out from wardrobe on our 1st night) 5) central heating system. Very comfortable for winter 6) heated toilet seat and bidet useful for winter 7) great hair dryer. Dry fast 8) great toiletries. 9) beautiful garden, kids had fun with snow in the garden 10) lots of power points in the room. 1 can be used without adaptor. USB sockets available. 11) spacious rooms. 2 kids ( 4yo and 7yo) and 2 adults, with 2 large luggages and 2 small luggages all open up, still leave us sufficient spaces to move around 12) A unique centuries old building with modern facilities. Staff mention the building used to be a music school for palace musicians in ancient China.

The traditional courtyard, low rise setting excludes the possibility of having 5* accompaniments. And it is not what I believe the hotel is trying to achieve.

Traditional courtyard hotel with a central location within a traditional, hutong area. Chinese guests are more common than UK ones but that did not stop the staff from trying their hardest to overcome my lack of linguistics ability; really friendly and helpful. Underfloor heating was nice. The breakfast suitably Chinese but not scary and again everyone (including other guests) very friendly. Note that owing to the hutongs being narrow, taxis may be reluctant to take you to the door leaving you with a walk of a few minutes.

Communication in English difficult and lack of recommendation on how to navigate Beijing and it's sights

Nice little boutique hotel, great location, super breakfast

The location of the hotel was delightful, in the hutong. The hotel is beautiful, with helpful staff and a relaxing central courtyard with chairs and a pond.

Clean and quiet in one of Beijing’s Hutongs. Great location if you’re an urban hiker to walk to major attractions. Staff was kind and helpful. Breakfast was a superb way to start the day.

This was the most nice hotel in hutongs, really build with style, all the details are exceptional, the same as kindness of people there. Staff was very helpful, beyond imagination, starting with reception, security guy and cleaning ladies, also chef who makes us delicious breakfast was master in what he was doing... And both managers are extremly kind and professional... For sure our favourite hotel in Beijing from now on... And also not far from metro, 10min walk max, also didi or taxi can come to hotel (a lot of hutong not possible), so very convinient place too...

All great! Highly recommend!

Great welcome upon arrival. Room is very comfortable and the bed enables a super sleep. Breakfast was incredible and the lattes so appreciated. Big shout out of thanks to the staff who greeted my arrival and the kind good morning I received walking into the restaurant area for breakfast.

This hotel is located amongst the popular hutongs in Beijing. It's within walking distance to two metro stations (both on line 5) which makes it super easy to get around. The staff were super friendly and helpful, always willing to help whenever you asked. Breakfast was a delight every morning - we were served eggs (scrambled or fried, your choice), followed by three different kinds of dumplings every day. It was always a surprise to see what you would get - and the best part, they always brought more!! Nice coffee and we even had dinner there a couple of times. Food, atmosphere, and entire stay was fantastic, and we hope to visit again one day.

Stayed in July 2021

Rooms are bit dark (despite the great colorful decoration) due to the nature of a courtyard.

Friendliness of the staff that speaks very well English. Nice breakfast arrangement with opportunity to eat dinner on the terrace overlooking the garden. Very pieceful place. Amazing fishpond and a stylish tea and reading area.

Our family had amazing at Hotel Cote Cour Beijing! Staying in Hutong made our trip very special. Location is very convenient and you can easily walk to main attractions. Near the hotel you will find 2 metro stations. Hotel facilities are amazing! Room decoration is outstanding! Breakfast is simple but very delicious! Unfortunately I didn't ask for the name of the lady & men who were very kind and were speaking English fluently. Thanks to them we felt like at home and they always offer their help. Fully recommend Hotel Core Cour Beijing. Your stay will be unforgettable!

The breakfast was lovely and really well presented - we liked being able to eat on the roof terrace overlooking the hutong. The location was perfect - only about 5 minutes walk from Wangfujing Street and Tienanmen Square.

This hutong hotel was such a treat and surprise find. The hotel is gorgeous with a lovely courtyard and rooftop. My friends and I spent the whole morning in the courtyard and had a wonderful time. The breakfast is delicious. The staff exceptionally attentive. I work at an international school and am shocked I have not heard of this boutique hotel yet. I will be definitely staying again and recommending this hotel to coworkers and friends. Fantastic.

Wifi doesn’t work. Just a staff (Cin) can speak English. It is not half board, just breakfast included.

Stayed in April 2024

The hotel does not actually do half board they are actually just a bed and breakfast, there listing on booking.com is false and I don't think they understand English very well so quite hard to communicate with them, just don't stay there expecting to get lunch or dinner and you won't be disappointed.

The location was great and the staff were lovely, Thomas was very helpful and should deserve a pay increase, considering he was the only one that spoke English.

Stayed in March 2024

Not good for foreigners. I will give ⭐⭐ rating. Staff don't understand English and are also not equipped with business card transaction. They are familiar with WeChat payment or cash. Location is in very narrow streets, sometimes cab give up to reach at hotel. Need to walk 0.6 km.
