“Nice hotel.”

Had a great stay at the hotel. The some of the front desk staff can speak English, and if they can't, they will try and find a staff member to help.

Had a great stay at the hotel. The some of the front desk staff can speak English, and if they can't, they will try and find a staff member to help. The room was nice but the carpet was full of glitter and not sure if it was fully vacuumed. The bathroom was nice however there was a lack of hot water. The staff tried to help and got the hot water going but 2 days later, the hot water was gone again. The breakfast selection was excellent. There were some Western items but mainly a traditional Chinese breakfast. I stayed for a number of days and the chef recognized the wish for over-easy eggs and every morning he would ask if I wanted over easy eggs. The staff was very accommodating and friendly. There is a bus stop in front of the hotel or the metro station is about a 30-45 min walk away. The front desk staff was very helpful in calling us a taxi as well.

“Just Okay”

This hotel is certainly away from downtown. Without a car and translator it wont be a good choice. Rooms are fine - spacious and clean. Excellent views of the Bird Nest. The whole Olympic Park is within walking distance. And in the evenings the Olympic Greens is lively with people enjoying the e... more

Stayed for two nights end of October. Hotel was chosen because we were going to the Beijing convention centre which was just a five minute stroll. Arrived early and was surprised when told our rooms were ready. Like most of our visit we struggled to communicate as very few members of staff spoke any English. We think we paid a £500 safety deposit, paid it but couldn’t really figure out why as the rooms were less than this. Rooms were adequate but smelt really badly of smoke, both rooms were really bad. Had no issues with quality of furnishings and bed was fine. Rooms were really hot also and I struggled to sleep because of this and had to open window during night to cool room down. My sleep quality was not good. Breakfast was ok but again struggled to communicate with staff, the chef was the only one who could speak English, waiting staff couldn’t speak English at all. All in was ok but in many areas it could improve
