I stayed at the Beijing Double Happiness hotel for 2 nights in September 2008, prior to a trip to North Korea and a further night there on my return from that trip. And I loved it. A warning - if your preference is for flashy multinational hotels near the main sights, full of European and American guests, the Double Happiness... more

We really enjoyed this hotel. Free internet and free breakfast were great. The room was quiet, very clean and spacious. We had a flat screen TV and a floor to ceiling marble bathroom. The hotel is located in a Hutong in central Beijing - walking distance to the metro and probable a 10 minute taxi ride to the Forbidden City.... more

We stayed in this hotel for 4 nights while sightseeing in Beijing. The photos of this hotel that we saw on the web were very accurate. We had the 'family room' which was a good size room with two double size beds. It was not located on the main courtyard, but in a separate (quiet) area with only one other... more

If you're looking to experience real Beijing life then you won't be disappointed by Double Happiness. It's built on a traditional Hutong, and nestles in amongst, tiny cafes, bakeries, video and bicycle repair shops, hairdressers, supermarkets, and all manner of weird and wonderful little places. Head to your right out of the main door and you'll find some delicious street... more

We stayed in the Double Happiness Hotel for six nights in May, having been booked there by a Chinese Travel Agent whom we know and trust implicitly. We lived in Beijing for around a year some six years ago so the idea of a hutong hotel was familiar and something we looked forward to. We had lived in a hutong... more

We were a little nervous walking through the hutong that houses this hotel, but once we saw the place we fell in love. The rooms are charming, the breakfast quite substantial, and the employees are amazing. They went out of their way to make us feel comfortable. They even printed out some information on the Great Wall before our trip... more

We loved this little hotel! I have stayed in Beijing several times and have stayed at other hotels that were more expensive, but none nicer or friendlier. It is set in the hutongs (alleyways) and upon arriving my boyfriend was not keen - but a stay of a few days changed his mind completely. The location is great, close to... more

Could not find website run by hotel, so booked through Sinohotel website. No credit card was needed to hold the room. Paid 420RMB. Used U.S. credit card for payment, requested at check-in. Rate includes a small all-you-can-eat breakfast buffet. There are two free Internet computers in the lobby, but speed is very slow. This is a quaint little courtyard hotel... more

We really enjoyed staying at this hotel - the staff were really friendly and went out their way to make you feel at home, the rooms are decorated with traditional Chinese furniture and there's a lovely courtyard in the centre which is decorated with lanterns. There's also free internet access and the breakfast was included in the price, so it... more
