“Close to everything”

Just around the corner from Tiananmen Square, Forbidden City. Rail system very easy to use.

“Great place to stay”

Nice hotel. It was within easy walking distance of a subway station and shopping center. An English speaking staff member was always available. The beds were rather hard, but I slept well. The room was clean. They exchanged my US dollars for Chinese currency at a good rate.

“A pleasant stay at the Mercure”

Situated on the main street where a 15 minute walk will take you straight into the heart of Xidan, the hotel could not be anymore conveniently located. Xidan iteself is a viabrant area where a lot of the younger generation go to shop. Go behind the main street and you'll find plenty more. The subway is less than 10 minutes away from the hotel which will help you get from one end of the city to the other. The hotel staff provide warm hospitality and are approachable. Definitely recommendable and will look forward to staying there again.

“wonderful location near concerts at ncpa and forbidden city music hall”

hotel located three blocks from beijing subway,short walk to tenneman square and the ncpa concert hall. breakfast buffet rather expensive.hotel room was clean and modern.

“My child and I had a good experience at Mercure”

My 10-year old child and myself stayed in the Mercure at Xidan in Beijing for 4 - 5 days. We liked the hotel for a number of reasons, including: 1. Location - at the Xidan shopping center, close to Tiananmen, with subway and access to both Xidan and Xuanwumen. 2. Swimming pool - their indoor swimming pool is 20 - 25 meters, not crowded, a good facility for do some exercise and cool down for a hot summer day. Quite a few other hotels claim they have a pool, but this is the only one that showed a phot of the pool. That was important to us. 3. Western style operation - this makes it not much different than staying in any other 4-start hotel in the states. Their staff and service are very professional. The staff makes great effort to help us. Some one would go out to the street to get a taxi for us if there are not enough at the front door.

“Great Hotel!”

This hotel was amazing! Great customer service and a nice room. We made maximum use out of the incredibly clean and well kept pool, jacuzzi, and sauna!

“Nice hotel for the price”

The hotel is about 5-10 minutes to the forbidden city. Easy walk to the subway. Free wireless in the lobby only. The rooms need some update. The room was ok; the bathroom was decently clean (for a four star hotel; the bathroom should be really clean)Standard beds for China (a bit hard) Employees helpful and friendly. The breakfast is worth it; many options!

“Nice Hotel Close to Subway Line to Beijing South Railway Station”

This was a nice hotel, especially for the price. Take the #4 Metro line north two or three stops from Beijing South Railway and then when you get to street level, walk about 3 or 4 blocks to the right. DO NOT TAKE A TAXI FROM BEIJING SOUTH RAILWAY OR YOU WILL BE WAITING FOREVER!!!!!!!!!!!!! We had difficulty finding it at night, but that's just because we didn't walk far enough. The hotel is nice enough. Breakfast buffet was included with a lot of western and chinese choices. We also ate there for lunch and had a great burger and fries, and went back for the dinner buffet which was delicious and had free WINE as part of the buffet. Pool, hot tub, weight room, sauna, steam room were all nice additions on the bottom floor.

“good value, large, clean rooms, good location”

enjoyed staying here. rooms were very large and very clean. good location for subway and shopping. good little gym. pool looked clean too, didnt try it though. hotel is a little bit worn - but very clean, could be why the excellent value. check in was a bit of a wait, but the hotel more than made up for it by giving us free drinks from the bar in compensation. a very thoughtful and appreciated gesture!

“Hotel "without" A/C”

Too hot in the hotel. A/C is not set per American standards
