Lock in a great price for Happy Dragon Alley Hotel Beijing Tian AnMen Forbidden City – rated 8.7 by recent guests!

to get started.

The rooms were clean and the staff were very friendly. And it was close to the metro.

Mayaba, Zambia

Good location, friendly staff (they speak English). It was relatively basic but clean and good price for Beijing. Only place we stayed in China to actually pay attention to the do not disturb sign in the door. It feels a bit like a hostel atmosphere without actually being a hostel (to my knowledge, there are no shared rooms or bathrooms). They offer tours to different sites that they arrange.

Anonymous, United States of America

Loved the staff at this hostel, they spoke English and were very nice and friendly. We stayed in a private double room with an ensuite bathroom. It was clean and comfortable and so nice to have an enclosed shower when most other places we stayed in China did not. We also were there when it was really hot in the summer, so it was nice to have air conditioning. There is a small restaurant that is open for breakfast and dinner, which is convenient if you don't feel like going out for food.

Michelle, United States of America

Staff are amazing, very friendly. I left my hardrive there and they sent it on to the next location for me and we’re very efficient. It is pricey, but I guess that’s what you pay for a lovely room, good food and great location.

Charles, Australia

The location was excellent for seeing tourist sites in Beijing. Close to the subway, and also walkable (if you like to walk, which I do...)!, and the friendly and wonderful staff spoke pretty darn good English and they were able to easily explain the subway system. The facilities were basic but very clean, the A/C worked very well, and it was quite comfortable.

Tamara, United States of America

The staff is incredibly friendly and helpful. Their English was very good! The room was clean and nice, and the location is very good. On the first night they even left us 3 little pieces of cake and a sweet note. This is the second time I have stayed here, I would highly recommend it.

Beththelemon, China

Breakfast was generally good, esp. eggs and toast. Try the swiss breakfast first and perhaps you won't want to try the american breakfast. Do include a dinner at the bbq place across the street. odd, late hours but very good food that is not breakfast.

Magnatron, United States of America

location is really good. Close to a major subway line that take you to the most visited places. Yet very quiet since it's located in a old alley right connected to a bustling street. Great local BBQ restaurant right opposite to the gate.

Huang, South Korea

The staffs are able to communicate well in English and they are also willing to help. They are actually better than some staffs in 4-5 star hotel who do not even understand English in Beijing.

Jong, United States of America

Staff speak English well and tentative. A receptionist named Greyson is very helpful, he went extra mile to assist me with my travel problem

The beds were a little hard, and we found some hairs in the bathroom. It would also be nice to have a mini fridge. If arriving late at night, it could be difficult to find because it is a bit down a hutong alley that is quite dark.

“living in the middle of a traditional Beijing hutong - great!”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Deluxe Double Room
- • Stayed 1 night
The room was not too big, and there is not much light on the ground floor in a hutong. The place is fine but some light renovation will be needed soon to keep up the standard. But in spite of this, I can recommend this hotel without hesitation.
The hotel is located in an old hutong, going through renovation. It's not easy to find (google maps, the local Chinese maps, and a rickshaw driver were all unable to pinpoint it) but nicely located, close to the subway line and main streets, some 5km away from the Forbidden City and Tiananmen. The place is cozy and the staff very friendly, speaking good English and eager to help. The Great Wall tour was organized perfectly, with breakfast ready and waiting for us in the early morning and the bus picking us up from the corner 200m away as planned. They also fixed airport transfer for us. On the whole - a very good base to explore Beijing.

“Traditional stay at a hutong, close to metro line 5”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Deluxe Double Room
- • Stayed 3 nights
- • Submitted from a mobile device
This is an old, traditional hotel/ hostel for which we paid around 79euro per night. The first night (out of 3 booked) we were given a triple room in a kind of semi-basement room, with limited space to move and definitely not what we had booked for our stay. They asked us to stay there for the night as they had no double room for us and we would change the day after. The next day indeed we moved to the normal room but we had to complain first and spend a night to a room that didn’t worth the amount we paid at all. In total the price we paid was not worth the service provided but it was in a pick season and at least location worked well. Breakfast is very basic (was in room price).
Located at Dong Si Hutong and very close-3-4’ from line 5 metro station it’s a nice and clean place to enjoy a ‘traditional’ stay and easily move to all key sights in Beijing. Staff spoke english and was really helpful and polite. It was also the only hotel out of the five we stayed in total in China that called us a taxi! All others replied to our request by saying that was not in their services.

The wi-fi in the bedroom and common area could be a little bit faster, especially at night when (I suppose) there are many people connected to it.
I really loved this place, the staff are super friendly, speak good English and are really helpful! This was my second time staying in this hotel, and I had a great time again. Breakfast was very good. The location is perfect, the metro is just 3 minutes away, and there are supermarkets and good restaurants in the area. I especially recommend a roasted duck restaurant which is a bit less than 1 kilometer south of the hotel by the main road. Good starting point for sightseeing.

The breakfast/lunch/dinner was the same. If you have a long stay and want to have your meal at the hotel you may not be happy with the menu.
The stuff is very helpful. The hotel has super convenient location. The room was clean, nice decorated.
