    Everything liked, stopped very briefly

    Big room, huge bed. Convenient bathroom. View of the Beijing Railway Station building. There are vending machines with toys in the hotel, but I think it's impossible to win there =D

    Bed is too soft, it's sinking in the middle.

    Very helpful staff both can't speak English and can speak English. Location is great not far from the metro station and grocery store. It is opposite to Beijing railway station, although we just knew that we had to go to south railway station to take a high speed train.

    Unfortunately the front desk were a disappointment. The concierge on duty was not helpful even when we asked for directions. It was a straight answer - no map. He didn't ask where we were going nor offer any directions. The hotel should offer a map if language was a barrier for the staff to assist. We had a difficult time getting around as we had no access on our mobile provider in China. Lucky for us, we had friends who helped us throughout our stay at the hotel. We were able to take the public bus to the Forbidden city from the hotel and walked around the malls with their help.

    The location of the hotel was good. It was close to the main tourist attractions Luke the Forbidden city and Tianameng Square. The restaurant and breakfast cafe serving the food were good. We enjoyed our meals with the variety of selection of western and local cuisine.

We had a problem with limit on our WeChat pay account and Assistant Manager White Zhang helped us with the payment, he was very kind, supportive and spoke English very well. He saved us a lot of trouble. I highly recommend the hotel!

    Lovely hotel in an excellent location for Beijing visit
    • Leisure trip
    • Family with young children
    • Classic Double Room
    • Stayed 7 nights

    The rooms were quite warm despite setting the temperature to cool. We had to ask for the windows which were locked to be open for air circulation and even then it was quite hot. It would be excellent if the hotel provided portable fans to cool the room down during warm Spring weather. We didn't try the breakfast because it was quite expensive at RMB128 per person. A big bowl of beef soup noodle from outside would typically cost ~ RMB36-42 per person. There should be a preferential rate for hotel guests to allow them to try the restaurant.

    The rooms are quite large for Beijing centre hotel and is located 3 mins walk from the Beijing Railway metro (Line 2). It has good connections to all the places of attractions and Exit B is nearest to the hotel. The rooms were cleaned daily with fresh silky linens and all bath towel replaced. The hotel foyer is quite impressive with marble flooring and a baby grand piano. We asked reception to book a metered taxi to take us to the airport and it arrived within 4 minutes, which was very impressive. There are lots of noodle shops nearby and if you come out from Exit A you will find a large convenient store for snack and water at very reasonable prices.

    Felt like we were in the business area of Beijing so little Chinese culture around the hotel.

    We arrived at 1am and thankful for a very easy check in. The bed was very comfortable and a nice view of the city. The staff spoke good English and were able to help us with our confusion over wechat and alipay, etc.

    Not much to do in this area Beijing Zhan station, one stop further Chongwen Men is a large district with many shopping centers. Air conditioner does not blow out cool air.

    Hotel is close to the metro and train station and there is also a shuttle bus to Daxing airport. The bed is soft and comfortable. Friendly staff.

    A bit dated and worn. Area was a little run down. Aircon didn't work but was noisy. TV had bad picture. Fridge wasn't very cool.

    Clean and large room. Large shower with great water pressure. Fittings and furnishings are so old they are in fashion again but well cared for.

    The location is perfect, in the centre, near the railway station. The receptionist always called a taxi if we needed, answered all our questions, was always ready to help. They cleaned the room every day.
