Beijing International Hotel

I stayed this hotel from August 4 to 7,2011. My card information was stolen in a way at the front desk of this hotel. My damage could have been $ 2300 if I had not been informed by the card company about this as suspicious transaction. It was by the entity named " *** Wien". The card might be skimmed when I produced it to the front desk women for security deposit on arrival and leave. I used my VISA credit card only in this case during my stay in China. Please watch out when you use your card in this hotel...and also anywhere in China.

The hotel amenities were good but initial checking in was very difficult. We had four rooms, 2 from May 19 and 2 from May 20. On each day, they could not find our reservations [...]. After a long search that involved calling the supervisors and all that, they were able to locate the reservations. [...] we got view of a construction site and when we requested for rooms with nicer views, they said that none was available. Other than that, the rooms inside were nice and the reception area and facilities were OK. The gym and the pools were closed for repairs. The location was nice.

Good position close to railway station and Henderson Supermarket. Bus 92 to Forbidden city(one yuen)

I visited at Beijing textile exposhow. Hotel helps me to make my trip better. It was great service there, great breakfast, great staff and so on.

This is a clean and well-furnished, roomy hotel in a good area of Beijing for seeing the sites. The subway station is about a 5 minute walk from here, so you can get to any of the tourist spots easily. The staff was professional and helpful. We had no complaints about it and really enjoyed our stay here.

Once we were moved to a more modern room on the 4th floor facing west, we were happy. The hotel staff was competent and friendly. The location is very convenient: 2 blocks to Wangfujing, Beijing train station and a short distance to 2 subway stations. The priviously assigned south facing room on 17th floor was smelly and hot. The bathroom had foul smell from drainage.

We enjoyed our room, which had a lovely view--a big comfortavble bed--a refrigerator and a pot for heating water. The shower was a bit difficult to use, but that was minor. The buffet breakfast was very good, and the hotel's location was convenient.

1. Taxi driver would not like to go to this hotel, so you will have major problem traveling in and out of it, because Beijing's taxi drivers really are most spoiled drivers on earth. They refuse to go to difficult to go places, but if you pay 3-4 times more, you can still get them drive you. 2. The hotel's location is on the main street of of Beijing city, suppose to be a good one. Looking at the map, I thought so too. However, It is at a cross intersection which does not allow left turn. So the taxi driver has to turn right to the intersected street, drive down some distance and than make a U-turn to come to the hotel. Almost all taxi drivers hate this, have no time to do this. We were refused many times by taxi drivers to do business with us. The public transportation is good on this spot. So we took buses all the time. 3. Staff are most shockingly rude for a hotel in this kind of standard. They are easily amused by customers' "stupid" questions (what we saw before we checked in, a family of 3 (non Chinese) were confused and asked questions at the front desk, I saw the staff answered the questions without expressions on face, while the clients turn away, they were laughing and talking and looking at that poor family). 4. At my turn of check in, the staff either look away or argue with me with Chinese terms (standard room, non-standard room) She said, told you already,(meaning why I did not get it). I have no idea about standard room or non-standard room means in China.[...]. The staff is really not helpful at all. They probably think all customers are stupid something. I told the staff on the spot, that I do not like your altitude. She just looked away. 5. The restraunts inside hotel is ridiculous expensive. So I think the hotel is a money trap. Get foreigners in a mid of place hard to get any where, and then charge them enoumous on food and drinks.

Great location and great service

Awesome service - there was a shuttle to and from the airport, and the concierge hooked us up with some great tips for traveling the region (and the right driver to take us there). I didn't want to leave. Wish the pool had been open, though.
