“can't wait to go back”

We stayed at this hotel for 2 nights, because it's close to the Temple of Heaven, before we headed to Tianjin. We're so pleased that we stayed for another week before we returned to LA. It's interior decoration is no inferior to any high priced hotels but at a friction of the charge! Extremely friendly and efficient service. Morning buffet is a little pricy,I think. The hotel restaurant does provide good tasty Chinese food at a reasonable price. It's about 25 mins. walk to the oldest Catholic church in the city.It's not too far from the centre of the city, nor the nearest tube station. Overall, it's quite convenient, travelling wise.

“i will stay here every time i go to beijing”

I gave this place high marks because the customer service was excellent, the assistant manager (her name was cherry) was most gracious to assist me at every turn! I do not speak Chinese at all, but assisted me in touring and many other needs. The hotel was very stylish and accomadating. For the cost was over the top. I am from america. A lot of people complain the beds are too hard in china they are but I got used to it. Its just one of those things that when in china do what the Chinese do. Its not a complaint I embraced it. And it was fine. I didn't catch the managers name but also a very kind gentleman that also assisted me with some personal issues that came up during my stay very accomadating as well.

“Clean, Safe, and at a reasonable room rate.”

Nice hotel with good restaurants right around the corner. It is close to the Forbidden City, and local mall for shopping. I am going to stay here again in early November for 5 days. Clean, Safe, and a reasonable room rate.

“Great Hotel but the staff didn't speak English”

This was a great hotel and we loved the remolding that was recently done. However, we were under the impression that some of the Hotel Staff would be fluent in speaking English, and this was not the case at all. We normally use hotels to book things during our travels, but that was not an option this time. This might have been overwhelming to somone who does not travel much. Other than this, we have nothing but positive things to say about the Hotel

“I stay here whenever I am in Beijing!”

This is a nice hotel conveniently located in Beijing. It is close to the Forbidden City, a major shopping mall area, and the Beijing Silk / Pearl market. This is my third stay at this hotel, and I have been satisfied with the facilities and staff each visit. There are nice traditional Chinese restaurants across the street from the hotel in a safe neighborhood. If you want to stay in the heart of the tourist area this may not be the place for you, but if you are looking for an economical hotel that is clean and close the the major local attractions in Beijing this is the place to stay.

“Not uncomfortable”

The location of the hotel may be a problem, but the overall service is fine.

“Good hotel with a real Chinese atmosphere”

Our experience at this hotel was very enjoyable. The place is beautifully decorated in a modern Chinese fashion, and our room was large and comfortable (but it had a slight cigarrete smell which bothered us a little). Most of the guests there are Chinese, which gives the place a very local atmosphere, in my opinion much better than staying at a westernized place. The down side is that the staff had very poor English skills. However, if you are going to China you should prepare yourself for that anyway...

“Professional Place”

Stayed there for 5 nights and it was very comfortable. The service was very friendly and helpful, they even allowed me to use their phone to call England for an emergency with no extra charge. Fridays and Sundays they have a chinese sitar player playing in the lobby - very nice and relaxing. The rooms are big, clean, a few english channels on TV and cable internet. The lobby has free Wifi which at times is even fast enough for Skype video chats. Only downside: it's a bit off, you gotta catch a taxi to get to the nearest station, but thats only 10 RMB per ride, bearable. Recommended!

“It's a little far out from the sights, taxi to everywhere which can be hard in traffic”

The staff were friendly though if you are an english speaker it will be difficult. We tried to order room service with no success. The hotel is a taxi ride to everywhere (with perhaps the exception of the Temple of Heaven about 12 blocks). For the price it was satisfactory.

“Not Impressed”

I really got unsatisfied, How can a 5 star hotel does not have the air condition working, and when you call maintenance they bring a fan, they new they had the problem and they do not advise you before you find out, horrible.
