We spent our last 2 days in China here before going back home. We firstly stay in their another hutong house, then go other cities then back to this one. At the first moment to see Bobby and his wife face, I felt just like back to home. The travelling is stressfull and busy, we were tired, but all this... More

The positives: The location is very convenient. It is relatively easy to find after your first visit, located just a few hundred meters from Xisi subway station. From there it is just 2 stops to Xidan which is a major shopping hub. A quick change a couple stations more and you're right at Tiananmen Square, the Forbidden City, and numerous... More

After we've read reviews at the Tripadvisor site, we decided to opt for the Templeside hutong guesthouse. So I contacted the manager, Bobby by email. He responded very quickly, every time we needed him. He even sended a map for the taxidrivers by mail, because it is a little bit difficult to find. We decided to choose for the so... More

Bobby the manager is fantastic, very responsive on email and great with all our questions while there. He and one of... More

Before coming at TEMPLESIDE, I 've gone in differents hostels like Barcelone, London, Dublin... I never have seen a hostel as well as TEMPLESIDE. The staf is very friendly, helful and this place kept always clean. My only complaint is the responsable of this hostel play so well at badminton. More

The Templeside is tucked away in an alley so it was difficult for our cab driver to find. We had the phone number so he called... More

Staff were friendly and eager to help in any way possible. Location was excellent. Price was exceptionally reasonable. If you're looking for an experience that feels authentic yet accessible then this is... More

I dont know how we came across this hotel (rather hutong), but im glad we did as it was one of the best accomodation experiences we have had. The rooms are excellant, but most importantly is the setting, bedrooms of to the side of a central communal indoor courtyard. The interiors are fantastic and you feel as though you are... More

I stayed at Templeside Hutong House when I arrived in Beijing and, 3 days later, as they were booked out for the national holiday, I moved to the deluxe house. I stayed in the dorm in both houses and both were equally clean and comfortable. I had spent 2 months traveling by train from helsinki to Beijing and was heartily... More
