格林豪泰（北京安贞鸟巢店）

I was very excited to stay at this traditional Hutong courtyard hotel, and I wasn't disappointed. May, the owner, has elegant taste and lovingly restored the Hutong in a way visitors could feel at home. I could've stayed there forever with all the extra little touches and wonderful breakfast. This unique hotel is quiet, centrally located, comfortable, and oozes with charm. She also had excellent recommendations for shopping, site seeing, and restaurants to match. Staying here was the highlight of our brief visit to Beijing. - Monica from UK

因为朋友曾经住过,给我们作了推荐,于是我们也找到了这家可爱的酒店。我说的可爱,就是说充满了艺术气息,也很有中式风情的装修风格,但同时又体现出现代感。除了干净的房间,友好的员工,这里的位置也很好,刚好在北京市中心,走路可以到很多景点,加上走五分钟就可以到地铁站,所以交通十分便利。这酒店隐蔽在一条小街背后,在北京,那种巷子叫胡同。那条胡同里都是饭店,如果你喜欢小吃,可以尽情探索。我发现原来住在那里是如此安静时,实在惊喜,因为从地图上看,周围可都是主路呢。

Stayed 2 nights here recently and it was more authentic than a chain hotel which can sometimes be faceless. May was brilliant from before we booked till we left helping us with translations for our onward travel plans and advice. This place has been refurbished in true style but with modern touches, everything was very clean and comfortable and the bedrooms offered bottled water and other lovely little gifts that I will let you discover? Hutong is a busy street where the locals go about their business but once inside this B&B you find a peaceful haven of the little Courtyard. It is very close to the main street which has plenty of banks for ATMs and shops - make sure you go out in the vening when all the High Street if lit on all the the trees lining the street. We arranged with May for a driver to pick us up atthe airport (it cost next to nothing) as this place is very hard for taxi-drivers to find, so make sure you have a map and translation which May will provide. Its a close walk to Forbidden City and other attractions and we used a comapny called Beijing Tours to take us to the Great Wall - they were brilliant with a great English speaking guide and a small party of 8, we couldn't belive how cheap the tours were as well and it included a lovely lunch. We found Beijing very safe and friendly although not many speak English so you need translations if travelling. We carried onwards on the Bullet Train from South Beijing station and getting round was very easy and the Bullet was an experince in travel - very fast very clean and efficient, the UK should take notice! Breakfast was lovely and thanks May for our packed breakfast when we had to be up early for The Wall. I'd highly recommend this Congs Hutong.

This was a great a place to stay. Really gets to the heart of Beijing life. There is bustle of local activity right when you step outside of the hutong, but is extremely quiet inside the courtyard and rooms. The owner was extremely helpful and helped plan out our city adventures. He also spoke very good English as he lived in the USA for many years. He was also very good at planning our Great Wall excision which took us to a more remote and less touristy part of the wall. If I were to come back I would stay here again and again. I would love to write more, but was so happy about our stay I wanted to write this review on our last day and am sitting in our room writing this on my iPhone right now.

A wonderful place to stay. Nice staff, great breakfast and a good location, handy for the forbidden city etc Also, not far from the metro and shops.
