“Great, except the coffee...”
Well located in the center of the city, 2km walk from Tian An Men square and Forbidden City. Rooms on the front side are great ; those in the back are also nice, but much smaller. The biggest problem is the breakfast ; first, it's not included and very expensive (more than 20 USD); second, it's suppose to finish at 10h30, but if you are there at 9h30, you notice that no more fresh food is brought in. The worst was the coffee. It was definitely the end of the pot, had overcooked and was undrinkable. We had to insist that they bring in fresh coffee, since there was still one hour left. They preceded that they didn't understand why we were complaining, and finally, we managed to get a fresh cup that they brought in from the coffee bar. Asking for a second cup (after all, we had paid the full astronomical price and thought we deserved at least two cups, almost created a diplomatic incident ! But we insisted and got a second cup.
