Kelly's Courtyard Reviews

Bob was so helpful and went out of his way to get us information we needed in order to do the things we wanted in Beijing. The hostel is very close to 2 metro stations, and although it looks sketchy getting to the hostel, once you're inside it's adorable. The locks on the rooms aren't great, but I always felt safe and was comfortable leaving my bags in the hostel lobby (no locked room) to after I checked out. I'd definitely recommend this hostel!

This is a small, intimate, boutique hotel right in the middle of Beijing, within walking distance of Tianamen Square and the subway. Bob, the manager, was an absolute star. He was so,so helpful and friendly, and as a non native of Beijing, very knowedgeable about the sights visitors to the city should see. His advice was spot on, and I cannot fault him in any way.

Just FANTASTIC! We settled in very well and saw all the major attractions despite being in Beijing only 4 days. Bob you are a true legend! Thank you for having us, it was superb!

I've been stayed there for 10 days,just can't ask for more!!Friendly owners,good location,typical Beijing siheyuan,quiet at night and reasonable price!=) I would definitely stay there again!

Nicest place I have ever stayed at from hostelworld. Within 5 or 6 blocks of the Xisi metro station and close to all the great sights in Beijing. This hotel is 8 rooms that all lookout onto an enclosed courtyard. Kelly is extremely nice and helpful. Rooms are cleaned daily. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a quiet, relaxed atmoshphere in Beijing!

Best place ever!  Excellent location, walking distance to major attractions, close to subway. Rooms are large and beautifully decorated, situated around an indoor courtyard perfect for relaxing  or socializing with other guests. The owner John is truly amazing. He will provide you with any info needed to make sure you can make the most out of your stay in Beijing. We followed his advice to go to the Great wall independently and had a blast! Thanks again for an amazing time in Beijing!

There are no words to describe the kindness and helpfulness of Zheng, Kelly and all the staff. That is why I have extended my stay here and will surely come back many times too. Do not miss this very special place!

Owner was incredible - I had the opportunity to spend an unforgettable hike on the great wall.. because the owner wrote directions in Chinese, made sure I left at the right time and guided me through a process that included hiring a driver in Chinese at a bus stop 1 hour outside of Beijing. The stay would not have been the same without Kelly's Courtyard.

Our short stay at Kelly's Courtyard was truly a memorable one. It is a cute & typical Chinese home with its courtyard, located in the Hutongs that characterize Beijing. It is well-positioned in the city & easy to find (despite what a few have said); if one can read a map, one can find this hostel. It's just a short walk away down Xisi metro station! We agree with the previous comments concerning Bob; he's really hospitable, helpful & thoughtful! It is really worth staying at when in Beijing! :)

Staying at Kelly's courtyard is one of the right decision we have made for our Beijing trip. Location is easily accessible to subway and eateries, main attractions are nearby. It feels like a homestay. Bob, the caretaker has been a great help and provided us great tips, which has made our stay more enjoyable and memorable. Tks alot, bob! Overall, it has been a splendid stay experience!

We stayed at Kelly's for 6 nights in December and found it to be very cozy, clean and a respite from hectic Beijing. Bob made our stay most definitely, he organized train and Opera tickets for us, as well as our daily itinerary and a ttrip to the Great Wall where we were the only ones for the first hour. Bob is Amazing, his restaurant suggestions and detailed transport directions were impeccable.Bob also recommended a local tea shop to us, where we had a great experience. Bob is one of a kind!

our stay at kelly's courtyard was simply amazing. it is conveniently located and offers us the peace and quiet much needed after the long day. Bob is such a wonderful host and was always there to offer his assistance and help in all aspects such as finding the best way to travel to a particular place and recommending places to eat . Honestly speaking it is one of the best hostel that I've stayed throughout my various travels in Asia

We arrived in this hotel at night and the first impression was very great. We found that place very charming with the main court surrounded with all the rooms. The hotel as well as the rooms are very clean and the personnel are really nice. A great thank to Bob, responsible of the hotel for his advices, support and help during our stay to organize our visits or to answer our questions. I would strongly recommend this hotel for the people who are looking for a peacefull and traditional place.

The hostel is surprisingly clean and very well-decorated. I love the design of the room! Our room was cleaned every day. There were free yummy english breakfast with a variety of bread and beverages (tea, coffee, juices). The wi-fi was working well and heater was provided. Bob is very hospitable and friendly. He goes all the way out to assist us by booking our trip to Great Wall of China and also ask for feedback whenever we return from a trip. I love our stay there! We stayed for 6 days!^^

Not easy to find, but once you get there well Worth it. For European standards quite a bargain but after having spent two weeks in China I have realised that it is rather pricey!!

You can't ask for more. Its a great place to stay. Make sure when you book the hostel that you print out the directions!

Lots of charm and quaint. Bob was SOOOOO helpful and very nice. The location was really close to the main street which was in between of two metro stations within walking distance of the hostel. Lovely place, I wish we would've visited in the Spring or warmer months to have enjoyed the patio and scenery of the courtyard. Overall, great place. Breakfast wasn't the greatest, definitely continental.

Kelly's Courtyard is in a great location for hopping on the subway and getting around to all the different attractions. Bob is really friendly and accommodating. I would definitely recommend this place to another traveller.

We loved ouer stay at Kellys. It was wery beautiful and clean, good breakfast that was free. Bob, the receptionist was wery helpful, we could ask him about anything. And he propose a lot of things we could visit and do, and showed us the way. We really recomend Kelly's.

We had an excellent stay at Kelly's Courtyard. Our room and the breakfast courtyard were lovely, but the best part of our stay was Bob, the manager, who went out of his way to make us feel welcome and to offer any help he could. Maps, directions, recommendations, umbrellas, an early breakfast the day we went to the wall- nothing was too much trouble. As newbies to China (and not speaking any Mandarin) his help was invaluable. I'd highly recommend staying at Kelly's to anyone new to Beijing.
