I stayed for the second time beeing on a business trip. I felt in love with that hidden place in this typical chineese style. This time I have choosen the Bamboo room, which war large (2 rooms) and comfortable. To spend the evening sitting in the courtyard is an experience by itself. The Cigar room provides some french wined along... More

We checked in late at 9pm and got a room (Golden Lotus) where the air conditioning was broken. The staff didn't believe until we left it running for 2 hours and I was still suffocating, it was 35 degrees outside. We switched to the White Room which had poor soundproofing and many stains on the furniture cushions. The worst part... More

I read the reviews about the hotel options in Beijing and was enchanted by the prospect of staying in a traditional hutong. The highly recommended ones were all booked, so I looked this one up - it sounded decent. Unfortunately, it was a great disappointment. First of all, as we were arriving to Beijing on a late night flight, we... More

Though, there are rooms for improvement on the service side...especially on staff training As for Du Ge, it is the other way round. The servicing team is great but the decor and space is highly uncomfortable. Little attention to details, the... More

Du Ge Courtyard provided exactly what we were looking for - a unique Beijing experience that said something about the city and its history, rather than just another big chain or modern boutique hotel. The property is small, and thus provides exceptionally personalized service. More importantly, the overall experience of staying in a genuine hutong courtyard house cannot be beat... More
