  • I booked two rooms with my friends. The location of the hotel is still relatively good. Between the two subway stations, there are many small shops nearby to eat and buy things. Jianjie street is also very close. The Lama Temple is on the right, the Imperial College and the Confucius Temple are not far away, and Ditan Park is not far away. Just ask. The hotel facilities are average. They are very unsatisfactory. The walls are moldy. It is difficult to flush the toilet. You have to take another plate of water to flush it clean. The younger sister at the counter has a good attitude. There is a balcony upstairs to dry clothes. The design of the public area is very Chinese. She lived for 10 days. With the in-depth understanding, Xicheng District is more convenient.Deluxe Queen Room

  • The location is quite good. It's really close to Zhen Street. You can walk for more than ten minutes. It's very convenient to take the subway. The decoration is very classical, but the mobile phone signal is a little weak. Generally speaking, it's very suitable and worthy of recommendation.Deluxe Queen Room

  • It's really nice to have such a hotel with ancient feelings near the Lama Temple in Beijing. I chose this hotel by mistake, but it's really a good choice for business travel. I can consider continuing to choose when I go to Beijing in the future. The only suggestion is that the bathroom and the room are basically in the same room. I hope to solve the problem of the smell of the bathroom. Everything else is OK, WiFi is very smooth and the quilt is very distinctive.Deluxe Queen Room

  • The hotel is located near the Lama Temple. There is a subway very close to the alley. The location is very good and convenient. There are a lot of food nearby. There is no window in the room, only a window in the bathroom. Other facilities are very good! It's really great to stay in such a good hotel for less than 300! It's a service of conscience!Deluxe Queen Room

  • The alley is about 50 meters away from exit C of Yonghegong subway station. The transportation is convenient. Surrounded by the Imperial College and the Confucius Temple, the Yonghe palace is next to it. The area of the inn is OK. There is no problem when two people don't have a lot of luggage. When the water heater is heating water, you must pay attention to adjusting the temperature, and I will be scalded. Many foreigners check in, not like a quadrangle, because it is long, but very quiet. You can also consider staying next timeDeluxe Standard Room

Travelogue


  • Full score service check-in experience wrapped in the warmth of the alley

    This time I came to Beijing to visit the Yonghe Temple, check in at the Confucian Temple, and visit the Guozijian Museum. I booked Happy Dragon Courtyard Hotel Beijing Forbidden City Lama Temple half a month in advance. Originally, I only wanted it to be close to ancient buildings, but I didn't expect the service details of the small courtyard to hit me throughout the entire process, making it the warmest experience I have had during my stay in Beijing in recent years.
    Just as I dragged my suitcase to the entrance of the alley, I saw my boss waiting for me from afar. He was afraid that I would stumble on the bluestone road of the alley while dragging my luggage, so he came out early to pick it up. He casually took the heavy suitcase with Hanfu and camera in my hand and chatted with me about the interesting things in the alley all the way, leading me steadily to the entrance of the small courtyard. When checking in, he heard that I would go to the Lama Temple to offer incense early the next day. He specially arranged a north wing room away from the street for me. He was afraid that I would get up late and miss the auspicious time of offering incense. He also volunteered to knock at the door at 7:00 am the next morning to wake me up. He even told me the most authentic soybean milk at the entrance of the Lama Temple in advance.
    On the night I checked in, I wandered in the alley until late at night and accidentally stepped into a small puddle. My shoes and socks were all wet. When I returned to the courtyard, I just casually complained. The housekeeping lady who passed by immediately led me to the heater. She not only brought me a shoe dryer to help me dry my shoes, but also brought me a bowl of freshly brewed brown sugar ginger tea, afraid that I would catch a cold at night. The next day, when I returned from Yonghe Temple, I found that my aunt not only helped me clean up the room, but also hung the Hanfu I had casually left by the window on a ventilated hanger, afraid that the Hanfu I had taken photos of would get stained with the floating dust in the alley. Before leaving, she also stuffed a small bag of her own homemade osmanthus cake in my bag, saying that she could cushion my stomach when I was hungry while visiting the Imperial Academy.
    The catering service in the courtyard was also warm to my heart. The next day, I hurried to the Confucius Temple to see the opening ceremony. I didn't have time to sit down and have breakfast. After I mentioned it to the front desk, the boss handed me the packed breakfast within five minutes. There were not only hot steamed buns and Tea egg, but also a small bottle of warm sweet scented osmanthus honey water. I was afraid that my throat would dry when I visited the ancient buildings. In the afternoon, I made an appointment with a friend to chat at a tea house in the yard. The waiter quietly refilled the water and saw us taking a photo of the alley. He even took the initiative to help us find an angle and framed the crabapple tree behind us and the golden roof of the Yonghe Palace in the distance into the camera, with a perfect sense of proportion.
    The second day of my stay happened to be my birthday, and I had forgotten about it myself. However, the courtyard noticed it through the reservation information. When I returned to the courtyard after strolling through the night view of the Imperial Academy in the evening, there was already a handwritten birthday peach greeting card and an old Beijing walnut pastry baked by the boss on the stone table. Next to it was a small bouquet of February orchids picked from the alley, which the courtyard had specially prepared as a birthday surprise. When I checked out, the boss had already packed my luggage in advance. Even the Guozijian cultural and creative bookmark that I had left on the wicker chair was put in a file bag for me. He took me to the entrance of the alley and helped me get into the car before waving goodbye. He also repeatedly reminded me to come back to the courtyard to sit next time I came to Beijing.
    Throughout the entire stay, there were no standardized formalities of chain hotels, and every service carried the unique warmth of the old Beijing hutongs. There was no excessive disturbance, but you could always receive proper care when you needed it. Compared to many homestays that rely on internet celebrities to decorate and attract attention, Happy Dragon Courtyard Hotel Beijing Forbidden City Lama Temple's warmth of treating guests as friends is the most unforgettable Beijing style experience. Next time I come to Beijing to visit ancient buildings, I will definitely choose this place without hesitation.Show more

  • Slow down in the courtyard next to Yonghe Palace

    This time when I came to Beijing to explore the hutongs and ancient buildings, I deliberately avoided the crowded homestays in Nanluoguxiang and chose Happy Dragon Courtyard Hotel Beijing Forbidden City Lama Temple. After staying, I realized that this small courtyard next to the Confucius Temple and the National Academy Museum hides the most authentic slow life of old Beijing, which has become the most reluctant stop for my trip to the capital.
    Walking more than 500 meters from Yonghegong subway station, following the shadow of locust trees in the alley slowly swaying, turning two corners, you can see the vermilion painted gate of the small courtyard. As soon as he raised his hand and knocked on the door, the boss in a cloth shirt greeted him with a smile, holding two cups of freshly brewed jasmine tea in his hand. He said that it was cool in the alley, so warm your hands first before entering. At the moment of pushing open the courtyard door, the noise of Yonghe Palace Street outside was immediately separated behind. Two old crabapple trees were planted in the square courtyard, with rattan chairs placed under the shade of the trees. There was also a half plate of freshly washed crabapple fruits on the stone table, and even the air was filled with the fragrance of locust flowers and a faint scent of sandalwood.
    I booked a small room with a mountain view in the neighboring courtyard. When I pushed open the wooden window, I was stunned. Looking up, I could see the red walls and golden roof of the Yonghe Palace. The evening sunset dyed the glazed tiles warm gold, and the wind blew from the alley with the distant sound of pigeons. The furniture in the room is all old elm wood from old Beijing, and the bedding smells of sunshine. It's cool in the alley at night, and the boss has prepared a thick cotton quilt for me in advance. The thermos in the corner of the wall is always warm with hot water, and every detail is perfect.
    The most surprising thing was the fireworks atmosphere in the small courtyard. The boss was born and raised in this alley. He heard that I was going to visit the Confucian Temple and the Guozijian Museum the next day. At night, he took me to chat under the crabapple tree and told me about the legend of ancient cypress trees in Guozijian. There were few scholars who inscribed their names on the stele, and he even told me clearly during the off peak hours when he went to the Yonghe Temple to offer incense in the morning. When I got up the next morning, my aunt had already prepared the breakfast in old Beijing. The Jiaoquan, fermented sour milk made from ground mung bean wow gold and steamed sugar triangle were eaten with the smell of crabapple in the yard, and I felt warm all over. After strolling through the hutongs at night, the boss brought freshly boiled rock sugar pear water. Sitting in the yard and looking up, one could see the stars all over the sky, even the hustle and bustle of the city drifting away.
    Living here for a few days, you don't have to worry about traveling at all. It takes only three minutes to walk to the main entrance of Yonghe Temple. There is no need to wake up early and rush to open the door. After sleeping enough, you can leisurely pass by and avoid the crowds of tour groups, quietly strolling through the ancient temple. It takes only five minutes to walk to the Confucius Temple and the Guozijian Museum. Walking along the red wall of Chengxian Street, the ancient cypress trees on the roadside cover the sky and the sun, and you can easily take pictures of the atmosphere of old Beijing. In my spare time, I sit on the wicker chair in the yard basking in the sun, listening to the sound of the old man walking birds in the neighboring alley. I don't have to rush to scenic spots or deal with social situations, and my whole body completely relaxes.
    Before leaving, the boss even handed me a small bag of dried crabapple from his own home, saying that he would go back and soak it in water to moisten his throat. On this trip to Beijing, Happy Dragon Courtyard Hotel Beijing Forbidden City Lama Templeprovided me with more than just a place to stay. It completely handed over the gentlest old Beijing smoke and fire in the alleys to me. Next time I come to Beijing to visit ancient buildings, I will definitely come back and stay for a few more days.Show more
