Probably the most special and original local guest house in Beijing, The guest house is so fantastic. It hides behind the street, deeply and quietly in a Hutong (historical narrow alley) and Si He Yuan (a kind of old style Chinese house), full of Beijng's local taste. It impresses with its beautiful garden courtyard, super clean western style bathrooms, brand new bedding and facilities, individually controlled air-conditioning, city center location and super convenient public transportations, considerable service and travelling arrangements, etc. Of course, warm English speaking staff is more essential.

Living in this guest house can help you get a better understanding of Beijing's local life. You could never get the same feeling and traveling experience from any other places. Wandering in the long and puzzling hutong, smiling to lovely local neighbors, seeing the blue sky in the no-roof courtyard, hearing the whistle from swiftly flying-by doves, watering the garden, walking the dog, the Templeside house gives you 'a glimpse of what life in the city is really like'.

The Templeside HUTONG GUEST HOUSE has the best location in the city center of Beijing. It is less than 3 kilometers to all major sites of Beijing including Tian'anmen Square, Forbidden City, Hou Hai bar area and Xi Dan shopping centers. Over 20 routes of Buses and subway trains leave outside the guest house regularly to all areas. There are two old Buddhist temples around the guest house, in only 3 minutes walking distance.

The guest house's cleanness is really great. All guests give it a high rating. The private and dorm are really spotless. It is so hard to find dust there. Especially the common bathrooms, the staff clean them nearly every an hour!
