Fly by Knight Courtyard

Loved the location for an very authentic stay in Beijing. Great Hutong district with lots of local homes as well as fantastic restaurants just a short walk up road. Invoked memories of living in Beijing 20 years ago and a pleasant surprise considering how much the city has changed and developed. Loved the safe courtyard area for our 7yr old twins to play and really appreciated the great breakfast every morning and the helpfulness of the staff with arranging bookings to tourist sites and getting laundry done etc. Really couldn’t believe how peaceful and quiet it was at night considering it’s right in a busy area. The beds are soft which is no small thing in China! We will definitely stay here again if we return and our girls cried when we had to leave. Thank you for a wonderful stay and for waiting up till very late on the night we arrived.

Be aware that there are biting sandflies at dusk in the courtyard. Wouldn’t be an issue if prepared and if you have repellent or just avoid being out there at that time you’ll be fine. I didn’t realise and my girls got lots of bites. Mum fail.

The room was comfortable and practical. The staff was very friendly and helpful, everyone spoke great English. They arranged a Great Wall tour for us and recommended some interesting places to see. The breakfasts were very tasty. The location is also great, inside a hutong. Walking distance to subway station. Forbidden city is a bit further but if you like walking, then definitely within walking distance.

The veg breakfast was amazing. Staff were very helpful and helped us with key information and came out to pick us up when we were lost .

Location pin on the map leaves you a bit confused. I think that can be sorted easily :)

The staff was extremely helpful and friendly and the room very beautiful and decorated in a traditional asian style. The location is absolutely convenient and i suggest booking in advance, i wanted to book again for just one night and it was fully booked already.
