Youyou Light Luxury Hotel (Yonghe Palace Nanluoguxiang Branch)

Awesome service available at all hours of the day. Pretty little views and not the farthest from the train station or the bus stations.

Overall good experience. We visited in April so it was during the off-peak season. Because it was a quieter time of year, the hotel was doing some renovations - hopefully this means in summer 2025 the hotel should feel very new! Unfortunately, this meant the first room we were allocated was slightly old and had a view of the renovations on the rooftop (I’ve included two photos at the end), but after asking the receptionists if there was any way we could swap rooms, they were super kind, understanding, and apologetic and happily moved us into a new room which felt more modern and clean! The hotel itself is really close to the old part of the city which has a gorgeous food market as well as a fun night market. There are lots of local food stalls around the area. We rented the ‘Hello! Bikes’ to get around most places and it was super easy! I will say if you don’t speak Mandarin then come prepared with some sort of translation app!

Great location but the room was quite dingy, small cracks and stains on the walls. I've stayed at other places in beijing that i preferred as a solo traveler for a similar price
