Top Houhai Lake Hotel Reviews

Peace Hotel Beijing

8/10 Good

"Overall, a good stay at Peace Hotel Beijing. The hotel is admittedly a bit dated, but still perfectly acceptable. The location is excellent — very convenient, with two different metro line stations nearby, and very close to Beijing APM, which made getting around really easy. The room was cleaned daily, and the staff were friendly and helpful — communication in both Chinese and English was generally fine. Service attitude was positive, and they were always willing to assist. Special shout-out to Jack at the tour desk. He was extremely clear and knowledgeable in helping me figure out my options for visiting the Great Wall, and he was very attentive when helping me book the tour. He even called me personally to follow up after his shift changed, which really shows his sense of responsibility. Excellent service! Would recommend this hotel, especially for the location and the helpful tour desk."

"This hotel is located in a historic district near the center of Beijing, which makes it very easy to get to some of the attractions such as the Forbidden City. The hotel also has a beautiful ambiance. It really resonates with the surrounding area. The staff was also friendly and helpful. My friend and I spent a great time there."

Renaissance Beijing Wangfujing Hotel

8/10 Good

"Staff were lovely, and the coffee at the bar was great!"

Beijing Gu Xiang 20 Hutong Culture Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Cute little hotel in an amazing location! If you want to experience the charm of staying in a traditional Beijing hutong, this is the place. I absolutely loved my stay here. The staff was wonderful—especially Sherry, who was incredibly kind and helpful. They even did my laundry for free, which was such a nice surprise! Even though the hotel is in a busy area, you really don’t hear the outside noise, which was a big plus. The only thing to keep in mind is that the walls are a little thin, so if you’re a light sleeper, I’d recommend bringing earplugs as you may hear some noise from the other rooms. I would definitely recommend this hotel."
