“Our stay in Beijing”

We stayed at this hotel for 5 nights and our choice was driven by the location. Excellent choice. right in the centre of Beijing, a few steps away from Wangfujing road and all its shops and lights. Everything was at the doors steps, ATMs, convenience stops, Metro station! Overall the hotel was excellent. We've got a top floor room, very spacious, very well kept - the bathroom was nicely designed with a fantastic shower! The breakfast was mostly oriented to asian type of cuisine, however still available some sweet choice with jams, croissants, etc. anyway, good variety of food. Certainly, the only issue we could find was related to the language - even at reception, almost nobody could speak or understand English - we took advantage of some translations apps ... but this is quite typical in China as far we understood!

“Location is good”

Good location, walkable to the nearest train. Room was okay but some of the staffs should be trained more. I could see that many non-mandarin speakers stayed here. Hence i thought the staffs would be at least able to handle simple english. Well, it's ok even if they couldnt but the act to avoid fro… more

Good location, walkable to the nearest train. Room was okay but some of the staffs should be trained more. I could see that many non-mandarin speakers stayed here. Hence i thought the staffs would be at least able to handle simple english. Well, it's ok even if they couldnt but the act to avoid from dealing with guest was not okay. One staff was clearly tried hard to look busy when i tried to ask her. For that simple request i had to waste my time there. Too bad that i actually know some words but that staff didnt even want to look at me!. If you want to be at the counter be more confident and be helpful. Nowadays we have translation apps.

“Excellent Location ”

Really nice tourist class hotel located not far from the Forbidden City and Tiananmen Square. Wangfuging Street which is the Chinese version of the Champs Eleysse is just 100 meters away.

Really nice tourist class hotel located not far from the Forbidden City and Tiananmen Square. Wangfuging Street which is the Chinese version of the Champs Eleysse is just 100 meters away. We stayed in a twin room which was quite spacious. They have interconnecting rooms if you have younger kids. The staff spoke basic English and the breakfast was ok but packed each morning. You can do a really good buffet dinner for 129RMB. Just over the road is a Muslim halal restaurant that serves amazing noodle dishes for just a few dollars. Highly recommended would stay again

“No smoking? Not by the smell of it”

Rooms are spacious and seem clean but smell of cigarettes despite being non-smoking rooms. Air conditioner didn’t work and the room was unpleasantly warm, when we complained they just brought us a ventilator. We complained again so they brought us another ventilator. We understood they would not fi… more

Rooms are spacious and seem clean but smell of cigarettes despite being non-smoking rooms. Air conditioner didn’t work and the room was unpleasantly warm, when we complained they just brought us a ventilator. We complained again so they brought us another ventilator. We understood they would not fix the AC or switch the room. Wifi basically doesn’t work and some of the staff are obtuse. Not the worst hotel I’ve stayed at, but won’t be returning.
