Wonderful and cozy place in a great and quiet neighborhood!! The staff is lovely and the coffee downstairs is AMAZING

Good location. Not far from the main road. Charming part of the old town and old street. Near the Forbidden Palace.

“The hotel’s location was ideal and the staff very friendly and helpful.”

The room was small but charming. Really liked it.

A truly charming small hotel in an authentic Hutong neighbourhood. My room was a small double room with a bathroom/shower and a very comfortable bed. There was no cupboard, but enough space to hang my clothes, so that wasn't a problem. The room was cleaned daily and I also got a refill of bottled water which was really great. The hotel staff is very kind and helpful. The Hutong itself is quiet, but right next to a lively street with shops, snack bars and restaurants. There are two metro stations within an easy walking distance, the perfect starting point for exploring Beijing. The hotel has a really nice downstairs café where you can get a good morning coffee before heading out.

“Wonderful assistance when nothing worked regarding international cards, Asian payapps etc.”

5 minutes walk from the Dengshikou subway station, on a quite street. Lovely staff that even brought me on an electric bike to the nearest ATM machine.

“Very good location and friendly staff , but you shouldn’t be picky if it comes to size and cleanliness ….”

The hotel is very centrally located, perfect to reach the forbidden city, Tiananmen Square etc. even by walking. Also the subway is reachable within 5 min of walking. The staff was very friendly and even a check-in at 1 a.m. in the night was no problem. Communication was easy via WeChat

“Stylish stay near the Forbidden City w/friendly café but minor room issues.”

Excellent location in a Hutong right in the city center, about 20 minutes' walk to the Forbidden City. The interior is lovely with a Japanese touch, there's a convenient café on-site, rooms have air purifiers, and you can pay for your stay by credit card.

“Lovely”

Location! The entrance is a quint cosy coffee shop. Lots of cute popmart figures around the coffee shop.

“Great Location with Charming Rooms and Friendly Staff”

It is centrally located, with many restaurants and cafes nearby. The rooms are super cute, the WiFi is strong, and the staff are very kind.

“Proper little gem!”

Absolutely lovely stay at Chonggou Hotel Beijing! Just back from a smashing few days there. Honestly, the location is a proper hidden gem – tucked right into one of those gorgeous old *hutong* alleys. You feel miles away from the city racket, *dead* quiet at night. Yet, blink and you're practically at the Forbidden City's doorstep! Brilliant for exploring. Tube station's a doddle to find too, dead handy. The place itself? Spotless. Not a whiff of anything dodgy, just clean and comfy. And the coffee! Blimey, that proper handcrafted stuff they do in the morning? Worth getting up for, seriously good. Proper barista level. But what really made it were the staff. Such cheerful, helpful folks! Nothing was too much bother, always had a smile and great tips. Felt genuinely welcome. All in all? Can't recommend Chonggou Hotel enough if you fancy a slice of *proper* old Beijing charm with zero hassle and a cracking cuppa (well, coffee!). Top marks. Cheers! **~ Matthew (Manchester)**

“Value for money & good location.”

ideal location, convenient shop & restaurant is walking distance.

“Safe, clean & convenient!”

I really enjoyed my stay at refactoring space. The place seems to be run by an older lady and younger man - both of whom were very pleasant and helped me with my luggage, laundry (even though they didn’t have to) and parcel collection. The space felt safe for a solo traveller. It was clean, nice and cosy, with simple amenities like hair care, water & toothbrush. The location is approx 10mins away from the nearest train station but that’s not a problem because it’s a good way to walk off the food baby! There’s a family mart nearby and of course a cafe linked to the accommodation with decent coffee. Note there is no lift so you’d have to carry your luggage up if you’re on the upper floor. Also depending on the room it might face the small road which can be ever so slightly noisy if people are chatting downstairs. However overall I would rate this 10/10 and have no complaints :)

Wonderful and cozy place in a great and quiet neighborhood!! The staff is lovely and the coffee downstairs is AMAZING

“Enjoyed”

Nice and local place to stay

it’s so very conveniently located ! the staff are really nice as well

“Great location to enjoy your trip to the fullest”

Everything was great and we highly recommend this inn. The personnel goes out of their way to help you. When we arrived late at night and had a payment issue with our card, the girl at the reception insisted we go to our room and solve the issue in the morning, she was more concerned with us getting proper rest than with the payment. I thought that was very thoughtful and we did end up fixing the issue (which was our issue and had nothing to do with them). The room is spacious, clean, quite modern, has all the amenities you need and they provide cleaning every day. We needed some laundry done and they helped us with that too. The inn is in the cafe so that can be a little disconcerting when you get there, but go through the cafe and you will find a small reception. Their coffee is great though so that's a plus in the morning:-) The location is quite traditional, in a hutong in a well known district and you can find a multitude of restaurants and shops all around, we tried some and were not disappointed. You even have a convenience store just around the corner! There are 2 metro stations within walking distance so the location is perfect. Thanks to the hosts for the warm welcome and for making our stay in Beijing so comfortable!

“Cozy place to stay in Beijing”

We Love The location! Good coffee and a quite place in such a big city

“Charming Coffee-Inn Experience with a Cozy, Modern Vibe”

I truly loved the unique concept of combining a coffee shop with an inn—it's such a refreshing idea! The hotel’s aesthetic was beautiful, with a cozy and modern ambiance. The Japanese-inspired interiors gave the rooms a minimalist yet stylish touch. While the room was smaller than I anticipated, it was still very comfortable and well-maintained. The staff were polite and very helpful, even though their English wasn't perfect—it didn’t stop them from providing great service. The location is another highlight—just a short walk to local restaurants, charming cafés, boutiques, a mall, and even the Forbidden City. Overall, I highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a cozy, well-designed stay in a convenient and lively area.

“**Cozy Gem in the Perfect Beijing Spot**”

This stay truly surprised me. The location couldn’t be better: a 10-minute taxi to the Forbidden City, yet tucked quietly in a traditional hutong where you’ll hear bicycles bells more than traffic. The Dengshikou subway station is just 7 minutes away, making exploring effortless. The room felt like a warm, modern retreat – spotlessly clean, comfy bed, and a tea table with everything I needed. Bonus points for the cafe downstairs! Their lattes and butter croissants became my morning ritual. What stood out most was the staff. The manager, Lily, helped me book hard-to-get museum tickets and even taught me a few local phrases. If you want to experience Beijing’s charm without sacrificing convenience, this place nails it. Will definitely return!

“A fantastic stay - would highly recommend!”

Had a lovely 2 night stay here. The room was so spacious with nice decor. We had 2 big suitcases and there was still lots of room. The bed was a nice size and comfortable (we had a great sleep each night). Though the hotel is in a great location (only a 5 min walk to the metro), it's in a quiet location with no street noise. All the staff were so lovely, especially the lady at check-in and check-out. It was especially nice to have a delicious coffee in the cute downstairs café each morning. All in all, a fantastic stay - I would highly recommend!
