9.0 out of 10, Wonderful, (53 reviews)
"Advertised as a private room but was actually a dorm (same story reported by other travelers). Sheets instead of curtains. Told off for talking at 11pm. Noisy repairs underway from 7am. Floors never swept, tables sticky. Gave the property 3 days notice I would be leaving early but they still refused even a partial refund for the remaining nights, leaving me hundreds of dollars out of pocket. Absolute money grubbing. Stay away."

Regent Beijing by IHG

Regent Beijing by IHG

10/10 Excellent
"We had a fantastic stay at the Regent Beijing. The hotel is beautiful, elegant, and impeccably clean, with a luxurious atmosphere throughout. The staff were exceptionally attentive and went above and beyond by decorating our room for a special occasion, which made our stay even more memorable. We truly appreciated the thoughtful service and would happily stay here again."
