Find Bungalows in Beijing, China

This is by far one of the best hotel that I have stayed throughout my stay in China. Room was clean and decent. Beds was comfy and basic toiletries were provided. Staff was exceptionally hospitable and caring, went all out to ensure that we had a pleasant stay. Apart from the commendable service, hotel staff has good command in English so there wasn't any communication barrier. Hot tea was offered upon arrival.  The hotel is situated in the heart of Beijing and easy to locate. Directions to the hotel are clearly stated on the hotel website. 6 minuted walk to the nearest subway station and a mere 15 minutes walk to the famous Wangfujing shopping district. The set breakfast was decent. Guests are able to choose between western or oriental.  Overall, it was a pleasant stay at this hotel and I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Beijing.  Keep up the good work guys! :)

This is in a local Hutong so you get a real China experience. The place is a nice little refuge from the fast pace of Beijing. It is an interesting area of Beijing a 30 minute walk to Beijing Park which I highly suggest visiting early in the morning to avoid the tourist rush. The Hutong is just around the corner from subway line 4 (5 minute walk) . I had a view room which look out into the court yard. This is a courtyard hotel not a grand western style hotel so be prepared for a relaxing non corporate experience. I caught a taxi from Beijing West station which cost 25 RMB, take the address in Chinese from Agoda otherwise taxi driver will have a hard time finding it. When you get to the Hutong show the address to someone living in the Hutong and they will show you where to go, look for red lanterns. Staff very friendly and rooms clean. I'll stay here again so the family can have a courtyard experience. Most guests are Chinese.

I booked this hotel as a surprise for my husband on his birthday - when we arrived there were no guests only us !! We were immediately upgraded to a room with a view of the Great Wall and our room was lovely - the view was outstanding !! As we were the only guests we had to inform them in the mornings if we were going to eat in the hotel - which we did every evening as the everything closed in the village at 6pm - the food was simple and tasty and big portions and the staff ( one lovely lady called Li ) took good care of us - I would definitely recommend this hotel even if it is in need of a good refurbish in the lobby the views are spectacular and well worth the money

Great from start to end. From the moment we made our booking, we received an email giving us directions to their place, as well as useful information about the things to do around Beijing. Really nice hostel! Looks really simple from the outside, but such a pretty place with a homey feel the moment you step inside. We booked the double room, and it was a very cozy and clean room. Slept so comfortably each night, that it was sometimes difficult to wake up early to start our day. Ensuite toilet had heated air above the shower, which made each shower so comfortable (in Winter). Shampoo and soap was also provided. There's a few choices for breakfast, and I highly recommend the Yoghurt muesli! Super yummy! We were fortunate to be able to join their Friday night dumpling party too! The internet was fast enough, and there were computers in the common area which you can use as well. Location wise, it's not in the centre of all the 'action', or the famous hutong areas; which can be perfect if peace and quiet is what you want. It's about 10 mins from the Xisi station; so from there you can get to everywhere within the city. There are also some restaurants nearby, but it's better to get recommendations from the locals. We had the most wonderful duck at a place on the east side of The Forbidden City, as recommended by Lee. Everyone at the hostel was really helpful throughout our stay, with our questions/plannings/bookings. Totally appreciate everyone. Met some really nice people staying at the hostel too :) Anyway, will not hesitate to stay here if we return to Beijing; even if it's just to have the Yoghurt muesli again!

owner/manager "bobby" has excellent english, much better than anyone at the large international hotel we stayed in later in nanjing. and he is very helpful and knowledgeable. can order in quickly delicious food to hotel. authentic hutong area experience, although location is hard to find, even for some taxi drivers, although it always worked out (be sure to have directions in chinese to give to taxi drivers). location is great for visiting nearby white pagoda temple (oldest and biggest buddhist temple in beijing), and walk to subway is fairly easy. local restaurants delicious. short taxi or easy subway to forbidden city/tiananmen square (long walk, hour +). easily arranged bus to great wall.

This is a beautiful, unique property. My husband and I spent two nights there on our first trip to Beijing. I can't imagine a better way to get acquainted with the hutong culture of the city. The rooms were gorgeous and unique, and the staff was super friendly. I've read other reviews that noted the language barrier and value for the money -- yes, we had a bit of a language barrier, but if you're looking for a five star western hotel I hear The W and the Intercontinental are lovely. But if you want a unique Beijing experience, Duge can't be beat! Highly recommend!

My boyfriend and I (mid 20's) had a great time here. I did a ton of research in picking a place to stay in Beijing, and it certainly paid off. We were in one of the rooms off of the lobby, but we were there in November so there weren't too many other travelers for it to be loud like some other reviews report - we brought ear plugs just in case, but didn't need them. It was absolutely charming, safe, the staff were attentive. We had breakfast there on two mornings because we got up VERY early and it was so good! I had some sort of granola bowl and then a noodle bowl. One of my favorite things were the meals, snacks and drinks offered - they were so cheap! We hadn't booked our great wall trip prior to the visit because we couldn't find a reasonable trip for what we wanted. We booked our trip through the hostel and it was exactly what we wanted (and cheaper than alternatives!) - we didn't want the "touristiest" (Badaling) or the very difficult one - so we chose Mutianyu on the staff's recommendation. They were there to pick us up on time and we made some great friends. My aunt is from Beijing and my Aunt and Uncle travel there often, when I told them where I was staying, they said they heard really nice things. I'm the kind of person who doesn't want to stay in a name brand hotel, and i certainly don't need the top accommodations when abroad because i'm out exploring most of the time, so this was a great home base. OH! And it's located very close to a hot pot restaurant that was an amazing experience. The staff showed us how to use the bus system, which i'm so glad we did. It was incredibly cheap, close by, and convenient. The location of the hostel seemed so safe, I didn't feel uncomfortable walking around late at night in the dark. One down side was that it was a little tough to find at night, but be sure to print out directions and use a map. I would 100% recommend this hostel for anyone traveling to Beijing.
