The night time receptionist Mr Eei is very patient and helpful, you cannot expect much for the low price. Overall I am great I book this inexpensive for my transfer layover in Beijing. The location is excellent, easy walking from station. And fun surrounding in the typical Beijing Hutong. But WiFi is very weak.

Just OK, Fair for the price & great location.
It seems most of their clientele is Chinese , but still it would be good to have some english speaking stuff. Translate app is how they communicate. I didn’t get the right room the first night with private bath. The shared bath was freezing cold. No heat and open window and it was snowing outside. Rock hard bed and only a space heater in the room. I did get moved to a better room the next day. The bed was still hard but the heat worked and it had a toilet. When the power strip didn’t work they replaced it. Overall, it;s about what i expected for the cost. It wasn’t much more expensive than a dorm bed in a hostel. And it could not be more centrally located. So,emof the listed amenities were not available, such as free bicycle use and hot water in common area (second room had water kettle). The building could use some maintenance. My impression is that the staff are trying but the management is setting them up for failure with all of the deferred maintenance.

Pictures are deceiving. This hotel is in a good location but hard to find. Staff were unhelpful and seemed annoyed at our questions about taxis or distances to nearby locations. The WiFi did not work throughout our stay. The surrounding neighborhood is quite loud and could hear people talking and coughing all night. Bathroom has the kind of shower that’s a shower head over the floor, no curtain so everything gets wet. It feels more like a hostel than a hotel.

Comfy Bed - Overall good place to stay
Overall it's a nice place to stay. The bed was very comfortable which we really needed after hiking the great wall. However, on our first night, they moved us to a different hotel because something was wrong with our room, or they overbooked. But that other hotel had a terrible bed - it was literally just a comforter on top of a wood platform and they didn't take any money off for that one night. Also, their website says they offer an "Airport Shuttle" but it's not an airport shuttle. They just have a guy at the front desk call a taxi for you and it costs 280RMB which is 150RMB more than you would pay if you just get a taxi yourself (It cost us around 120RMB to get to the hotel by taxi) It's a cool looking place to experience staying in a Hutong and it's close to shopping and about a 10 min walk from the nearest subway.

Best of the best in Beijing for a budget trip!
Staying in Beijing Hyde Courtyard Hotel was the best choice. i ) Short walk to 大栅栏 shopping area. Best place to get cheap souvenirs and food too. ii ) Staffs friendliness and kindness. They helped me out on moving to another hotel as I wanted to extend my stay in Beijing and unfortunately they were fully booked on the dates. They willingly helped me out on making reservations on another place nearby. iii ) Cleanliness and spacious of the room. Considering of how much you’ve paid, I think it is worth it.

A really decent place to stay. Walking distance to Tiananmen Square and Forbidden City. Easiest way to find it is walk south on Qianmen street (a very nice walking street with no vehicles). Once you see the H & M clothing shop, go right at the alley. The hotel is on the right with red lanterns hanging from the only 4 story building. A fun interior with lots of Chinese traditional character. Will go there again!

Incredibly corrupt hotel - please be careful
There is some kind of corruption scheme meant to cheat you going on in this hotel! And when we were checking out we witnessed how the hotel was doing to another family the exact same horrible thing they did to us, so this might be common for them. Read on: 1)They didn't respect our reservation even though they had our Hotels.com booking with them, so on our first night we had to sleep in the lobby. The guy in the front desk (who didn't speak English), said (through an app) that there was a leakage in our room and that's why they couldn't give it to us. However, once other staff members arrived, they told us a different thing: that they were fully booked and that's why they didn't give us a room--for which we had already paid for! They refused to give us a refund. By 7am there were already 5 staff members and they were so rude that they were even laughing at our insistence of calling the manager or of getting some compensation for the night they never gave us. In the end they gave us free breakfast for two days, which meant that they covered 7 EUR of the 56 EUR we paid for one night. Sleeping in the lobby--in the breakfast area--was extremely humiliating, even more as my mother had a cold. 2) While we were checking out, a French family was arriving and the hotel was doing the exact same thing to them. And again, the only person that the hotel decided to leave in their front desk, was the staff member who didn't know how to speak English, so the family couldn't do anything.

Good for the price
This is my second stay at the Hyde and probably my last. The first time I think I have it 4 or 5 stars, this time I'm a more experienced Beijing visitor and am giving it 3. The good points: it's cheap, clean, the a/c works, and the beds are comfortable. So if you're looking for an inexpensive place to crash, it's fine. Main negative is the location. It's on a narrow and shabby alley (a hutong). First time I thought it was cool in a third-world sort of way. Now that I know the city better, I see that it's just a crummy neighborhood, smelly and dirty. Not dangerous, just sort of rundown. Also, the standard room is really small, with no space to even put your suitcase, and the shower is just jammed in between the sink and toilet. So if you stay here, definitely upgrade to the "family suite" which is much better.

This hotel is very well located, and is a great place to stay if you are not going to be in the hotel much. I would recommend this hotel for those that are in Beijing to explore the city and aim to use the hotel to just sleep. Breakfast was not great and does NOT include coffee / hot drinks. Our room was also full of mosquitos - again not great, but bearable.

This hotel was disgusting.

The only good thing is the location! But would rather pay more for a decent hotel. Definitely wouldn't recommend or stay again. They have 2 cute cats though.

Located near lots of local food restaurants.
First impression of the hotel was that it was a traditional Chinese design. Rooms were quite small and bathroom wasn't great, found a cigarette in the toilet on arrival. Also they have creepy cats which live around inside the hotel. Also it is located down an alley which isn't pleasant to walk down during the evening on your own. Security of the rooms was very good though. And the local food in the area was great. Recommend for tourists and foodies but would not stay there for more than a couple of nights.

Great place to stay in the heart of all the Chinese shops and food places - conveniently situated at the back of Tienamen Square! Fab location for everything being right outside on the doorstep! It's a very narrow street & not all taxi drivers know where it is so they need to drop u at the top of the street! You only have a short 200 metre walk then to the hotel. Lovely courtyard inside felt like an inside garden. Beautiful. Friendly & helpful staff too.

Worst Ever
This has been the worst hotel I have ever stayed in. It's located in an alley where the taxi refused to go and dropped me off at the main road. The room was on 2nd floor with no elevator and no help from hotel staff to carry the baggage up. I pity the guys who got the third floor. The room was compact which was OK but the bathroom was pathetic. it was so small like a half bath with a shower above the toilet. Right opposite to my room the live-in staff would hang their undergarments and clothes to dry. I would not stay at this hotel even if was offered free.

Great Experience!
We really enjoyed our stay overall and would stay again. I liked the local look and feel of the hotel. A few upgrades would really add polish to this hotel, like counter space for toiletries in the bathroom. The restaurant had a wide western menu for those that want that - we chose to eat outside the hotel on several of the countless restaurants in the area, since we could have a great breakfast for less than 20 yuan for three of us. It was close to a lot of things we wanted - about 1 km walk to the Forbidden City. Street vendors and markets are everywhere. It is about 300 meters walk to the subway, which is really good. The air conditioner was very welcome after hot humid days out.

Great experience
I really enjoyed my stay at the Hyde Hotel, and would recommend it for anyone who wants to have the "real" Beijing experience and stay in a local hutong (neighborhood) instead of a big sterile Western style hotel. The Hyde was perfect for that. It's located on a tiny alley just off Meishi Street. The alley is too small for a taxi, so you'll need to get dropped off on Meishi Street and walk a hundred yards or so to the hotel. No big deal. Note, however, that if you approach the hotel from the other end of the alley, the red sign in front of the hotel reads "Are Operating" instead of "Hyde Hotel", so you might miss the hotel entrance! The Hyde is pretty good by local standards. It's clean, friendly, and several staff speak some English. Hot water for showers is a bit iffy, though. Rooms are comfortable though small. And the price is great. Overall, I liked it a lot.

Great stay, great location!
We had a great stay at the Hyde Courtyard Hotel! While there, we saw a sign that the hotel is under new management, so believe many of the negative reviews were left before that turnover, and the new staff is attempting to correct those issues. Location The hotel itself is located in the hutong, and we felt super safe walking around at night. The location was the best part- walking distance to Tiananmen Square, the Forbidden City and Dashilar Street which had a ton of shops and restaurants. Room/wifi Our room was cleaned daily, the wifi was nearly perfect (there was only one night of our six that we had trouble) and super fast and the rooms were equipped with shampoo, body wash, a hair dryer, TV, etc. Yes, the beds were hard, but that is to be expected in China and didn't bother us at all. Staff/other The staff was very polite and helpful, and while their English was limited, we didn't have any trouble communicating about things we needed/payments. While we didn't book any tours through the hotel, there were 5-6 options that seemed fun and less expensive. /wifi

Great, flexible hotel with friendly service
The hotel was clean, well maintained and the staff were friendly and helpful. Don't expect silver service dinners, but for the price charged this hotel was beyond expectations and the inner courtyard really is lovely to have in the hotel. The setting in a Hútòng is metres away from gorgeous street food as well，and about 7-8 minutes walk from the south end of Tian'anmen square, itself one subway change from Capital Airport. Highly recommended, service above the price category.

A nice stay!
If you are going on a budget trip to Beijing, this hotel is comfortable enough for your stay. The staff are very friendly and helpful. My mom fell down during our visit and Jack (one of the staff) took the endless efforts walking to the pharmacy at night to find medicines for her. The staff can speak English too! About the area, it is very close to subway line, even at night you can just walk along the street called Qianmen Street! Beautiful stay and experience we had! Try it!

Very Central, Great Neighborhood.
I had a hard time finding this hotel, which is hidden in what feels like an alleyway (but is in fact a 'Hutong', an old very narrow street). The location is actually great, very central in a charming and very active neighborhood. A nice experience in contrast to staying in a large western chain...I would only recommend this hotel to travelers who don't require luxury. It felt very much like a youth hostel rather than a hotel, but is charming.
