Spring Garden Hotel

The Spring Garden Hotel is a nice, beautifully decorated courtyard hotel. The receptionist was a very friendly, helpful lady who speaks enough English to accommodate us. She pointed out routes in Beijing for us and suggested fine spots to eat. The rooms are facing two courtyards. The two rooms we had were in the back of the courtyard and spacious. One with a canopy bed and one twin. The hotel is near bus stops that bring you quickly to tiananmen square and the forbidden city. There's a subway station in the neighborhood and taxi's are very reasonable priced, so you can easily cross Beijing.

Its a lovely little courtyard b&b not too far from the main attractions. Simple and definitely not delux. If you are looking for a delux keep on looking as there are nicer courtyard b&b, but this one was fine for us. Breakfast was very very basic, the staff kind, the little courtyard garden lovely and the rooms basic and clean.

We really appreciated the slightly out-of the way location of this nice small courtyard hotel, just up a quiet residential hutong. Walking to forbidden city etc quite do-able but walking it both ways can be tiring and taxis can be very demanding for return trip! staff looked after us discreetly but helpfully, and overall a very good place to relax at the start of our trip. would definately return, and recommend for those needing a good nights sleep in peaceful surroundings. nice courtyard to relax and read / chill. Rooms are pleasant if basic but luxury wasn't our priority!
