I will start by noting that this is not the easiest place to find, as it is deep in a hutong labyrinth. Download a hutong map then get a taxi to drop you at the drum tower and walk from there. GPS helps! Once you arrive you will find a charming little courtyard with nicely furnished rooms. But the best... More

Apricot Courtyard Inn is a really cosy place with a personal athmosphere in a peaceful hutong. The location is close to several sights in Beijing and there is a subway station just within a few minutes of walking. There are also several bars and restaurants close by. The place is run by the owner Alex, who is a great host... More

There are two main strengths to this place. Firstly the location. Sitting amongst the Bell and Drum tower give you a good reference point and the lovely hutong it's situated in is amazingly interesting and full of laid back bars, restaurants on the edge and just everyday hutong life such as pensioners tangoing on the public square into the wee...

The location was a bit tough to find at first since it's literally located at the end of a dead-end alleyway tucked in the center of snake-like hutongs.

Alex is very helpful and knowledgeable about the surrounding area. Rooms themselves were very comfortable and well decorated, each with their individual character. Overall, a beautiful place... More

Apricot is a very lovely hotel,each room is different.We choose a traditional Chinese style room,cozy and quite,but the bed is a little bit hard for us.Wifi works pretty well. The hutong area is great, near by the Drum and Bell Towers, a 15 min walk to the metro, near the trendy Nan Luo Gu Xiang lane and the Houhai lakes.... More
