Days Inn Forbidden City Beijing

simple & friendly

Prime location

Rooms are small, poorly furnished, old, need new carpet and paint and the lighting is inadequate. Given this is hotel is part of an American chain, the English skills of the staff were surprisingly mediocre.

This hotel is in a really perfect location and its facilities are very good. The staf is very helpfull and nice. good breakfast. Very good choice!

Dont take the excurtion in the Great Wall. We didnt see the Ming Tombs as it was said and they got us to two shops and a jade factory.

Clean, quiet, very practical and close to the main attractions and the tube.

The untold about the visit to the Great Wall, the Jade factory and the herbal center. The meal was fine, however.

Excellent location

Beijing is a difficult city to navigate and to understand. Were it not for the persistant and magnigicent assistance of the wonderful hotel staff, my family's trip to Beijing would have not have been as delightful as it was. Their dutiful patience, obvious experience, earnest alicrity, attention to every detail and general thoughfulness were unrivaled by any hotel experience I have encountered any where in the world, luxery or otherwise. From large excersions to small details, everything ran smoothly only because of their dedication to our agenda and attending needs. The hotel itself is a fine one, wrapping around a small but restorative garden area. The buffet will suit most western tastes while still providing delightful samples of c

The beds in China are a bit ridged by most western standards. I was surprised but not necesarily discomforted by their realtive hardness. I believe that they were actually box springs. Otherwise from start to finish our experience was fantastic. The reservation was under John Davis.

Excellent location. Very good service. A good value for money.

The hotel is well situated only 10mins walk to the Forbidden City. In the opposite direction there is a fascinating night food market which is well worth a look. The hotel was able to easily arrange a Hutong pedicab Tour which i would highly recommend. As mentioned by others the bed was very hard and the rooms small but for the money it is well worth it. I found the hotel restaurant was very good, especially breakfast.

As mentioned by others my room was below ground level with a small slit window but not a big problem.

The hotel could not be in a better position. It backs right next to the wall of the Forbidden city! A little difficult for the taxi driver to find but get him to call the hotel for directions. Very easy. I stayed last year and returned this year as it is perfect. We actually used the train from the Airport and then the underground right to Tianamin East station. It was a three minute walk from there.Breakfast was included and the choices were excellent.It is a direct 5 minute walk to the biggest shopping area in beijing and a few more steps to Food Street and the night market. I would definitely return and recommend it to anyone!

I could not complain about the room it was neat and clean and well appointed ( for the price) but the bed was so hard. Previously i asked for an extra doona/quilt and slept with it under me but this was only for two nights so i did not bother. Good idea though. The comfort was not the fault of the hotel.....Chinese natives like there beds hard.....like sleeping on the floor..

close to tianamen square and city center

can't communicate with the staff, no fridge in the room which is essential since you can't drink water from the top

It was wery good pleace, very close in the centre of Beijing

The first room that was given to us was very bad,undergraund. I think, that such must not be realy living room in any hotel. The second room was good, but at night there was very soundly (staff was working , with botles_

The hotel is very close to the important tourist places, shopping and restaurants.

The breakfast is for for western taste.
