  Just an overnight...

  A little hard to find as 161 is not the street number (it is #43 I think) in a very narrow alley but great location and very friendly, knowledgeable staff. Honey wanted to see some live music and they recommended School which was fun! Breakfast was just OK but overall was enjoyable and wish we could have stayed longer.

  Clean, homey hotel with great location

  Amazing!! The room was super clean and you could tell they put effort into the bathrooms (really comfortable showers) Location: It’s very homey in the middle of the hutongs and very quiet at night. There’s a couple hidden restaurant gems in the hutong too. Once you step out onto the main street there’s a bunch of shops. Once you’re out onto the main street it’s about 10 minutes to the subway, and right next to the bus stop. Plus it’s next to subway line 5 which takes you to most attractions in the city. Extra: the folks in the front are super friendly and helpful and speak great English. If you’re looking for a place to stay in city center, this is pretty solid. Great location and comfy, clean stay.

  Interesting Hutong hotel. Staff was friendly and very accommodating. Our plane was very late arriving yet they were waiting to greet us. Excellent English was a bonus.

  I am giving 161 Lama Temple Courtyard Hotel 5 stars - and I didn’t even stay there. How can that be, you might ask? I had a hotel reservation, but when I arrived they told me there was a problem with my room (a plumbing problem and the plumber worked all night but was unable to fix it in time). So here’s what 161 Lama Temple did for me... 1. Got a room for me at a nearby alternate hotel. 2. They carried my bags to the alternate hotel (which was pretty nice). The price of the alternate hotel was lower so they paid me the difference in cash! 3. They offered me free beer. 4. They made me an excellent custom breakfast the following morning. 5. The entire staff was very friendly and made me feel I was the most important person in Beijing. In summary, if you are lucky enough to get a room at 161 Lama Temple Courtyard Hotel, you’d be crazy not to stay there. BTW, the hotel is in a hutong and doesn’t look like much from the outside... but once inside you’ll see why it’s a ‘courtyard hotel’. If and when I travel again to Beijing, I am definitely staying at 161 Lama Temple Courtyard Hotel.
