Mostly clean, friendly staff, and nice courtyard spaces. Food was very good. We had some bath slippers and a bath mat that didn’t seem to have been cleaned in a while so we avoided those. Everything else was very modern and updated.
Nice modern property. Great location. Courteous staff responsive to all needs. English was limited but that’s understandable. Breakfast is expensive but ok and WiFi is nearly unusable but overall a nice place that is good for tourists and lots of good things nearby.
Loved the room and bathroom! Clean. Friendly. Close to stores and restaurants. Tours picked us up with no problem. Quiet.
The hotel is located two blocks from the Forbidden City and three blocks from a wide variety dining establishments, including a night market. The breakfast had a great selection of both western and Chinese items.
Great hotel steps from the palace. Many eateries around. 3 blocks from shopping and upscale hotels. Best area to stay in. Many subway lines around. Staff was friendly. Clean and ample rooms. We stayed at a suite facing the street and it was great. I recommend this in a minute. Convenience store and ATM located 100ft away.
Convenient location in a street full of local shops. Other than that, staff of the hotel was not too friendly, hotel offered no food whatsoever in the afternoon/evening, room key cards did not work properly (had to call housekeeping several times), and bed smelled of tobacco smoke despite being a non-smoking room.
Pros - staff was attentive. There was issues with the door not locking and they had someone come fix it right away. - great location walking distance to forbidden city(15min) and Wangfujing Street(10 mins) - breakfast was decent. Had Chinese and western choices. Cons - the hotel is not in good condition. It looks old and run down. Needs major makeover. - when I checked in on the first day there were water spots on the mirror and barely any toilet paper. We had to call to request for more. Then on the second day when I came back from our tour the bed was made but the water spots were still on the mirror. Looks like they didn’t do a thorough job at cleaning the room. Makes me question if they even cleaned it all. Overall the hotel is pretty decent price if you don’t care much for cleanliness.
Good walking distance to many sites, and would stay there again.
The room could have been cleaner when we first arrived. Breakfast was good, location was good, staff was good. I would stay again
Hotel is a very nice 4 star. Comfortable and clean and a great value. Bus and subway system is effective, cheap, and go to the great wall and many other attractions. Buses about 35 cents and subways by distance starting at 50 cents (2 and 3 Yuan respectively.) Same card is used for both (20 Yuan Deposit and 20 yuan initial amount on the card.) Most importantly, you avoid one of the most common scams - the taxi/rickshaw upcharge in a remote location.
Everything was fine, nice hotel, good breakfast and we were able to book a tour to the Great Wall trough them
A conveniently located hotel close to shopping and the Forbidden City. Fabulous breakfast buffet. Clean and comfortable room.
Our room was very nice, close to the Forbidden City, shopping and lots of restaurants. Breakfast was good but we had to pay extra. I guess we didn’t realize we had picked the “no breakfast option”. Paying separately is expensive but probably the same if you get a more expensive room Be careful in the bathroom as the floor is quite slippery. Wear the slippers that are provided! All in all, We would stay here again.
1 hr approx. from PEK. Close to all main attractions - Forbidden City, Tiananmen Sq etc. Room OK. No pool. Breakfast Good and affordable. Allowed to check out at 2pm (usually noon) after asking nicely. Upgraded 1st night as hotel was full
Hotel is minutes by foot from the Forbidden City and was very reasonably priced. It is much nicer on the inside than the outside, would recommend it.
Clean and quiet hotel at city center close to everything you need. Spacious room. Very helpful staff put guests need as their top priority. They replaced the malfunction safe to save my 15 minutes waiting time. Highly recommended.
Great buffet for breakfast. Walking distance to shopping, dining, and cultural attractions.
The hotel is really a great buy! It is easy to talk to The Forbidden City and Tiannamen Square. The small restaurants nearly are good buys.
