The location is great. Definitely worth waking up early to walk around the hutongs nearby before dawn—highlight of our trip. The building is older and is due for an update, but is very clean and warm. I believe our room was upgraded from a double to a double deluxe room, which was very spacious.

Setback: 1. Lack of English. Hard to communicate with them. 2. Toilet was dirty with stains on the wall. No bottled water given. Overall, the stay was ok. Quite easy to find the hotel as it is located along main road. Walked to the hotel from Qianmen MRT station.

The hotel is right across Qianmen shopping street and just a few blocks away from Tiananmen Square and Forbidden City. Location is really perfect. It is very near the Subway as well. Qianmen Station line 2. Just don't expect that much on service and facility of the hotel as it is a little bit old. The Internet is fast.

Couldn't have asked for more !
In a near perfect location - a short walk from Tiananmen square, with many lively restaurants in the surrounding area. Not a luxury hotel by any means, but was quite comfortable and the price was more than fair.

No air conditioner, no fridge, no complimentary water, poor beds, toiletries were unmarked and room was generally unclean. Location is good and the service was friendly. If you need a cheap and safe room that is in the center of Beijing, then this can be worth it. If you want a room to relax in and can't stand the heat, then pass this place.

I will go again.
Reasonable walking distance from subway station. A lot of good Chinese foods selections around the area. Hotel staffs are very helpful and the overall service is very good. The only complain is the toilet blocked twice and we have to use the public restroom in the hotel for a couple nights. That might not be their fault because afterward we learnt that the local general public in that area do not put the "soiled" toilet paper etc into the toilet for flushing. They keep them in a separate bin waiting for collection. A cultural thing that we are not used to. The price is very reasonable compared to other hotel with the same facilities with services that is not as good. I will go again if I am planning on having the same budget. By the way...go try the Beijing Duck nearby and for sure you can find tasty items which the famous brand restaurant cannot even provide...with way cheaper price. :)

Amazing area, plenty of eateries, easy access to the public transport network, walkable distance to Tiananmen square. Descent comfort for the low price that I paid for. The only complaint is the low hot water pressure.

Conveniently located near Qianmen walking Street and Line 2 subway line, Qianmen Stop which connects to all the main attractions in Beijing. There are many shops, restaurants, in the area. Hotel room is small for two people but given the price and proximity to city centre, it's good value for money.

I want to be all happy and smiles but I feel I need to be honest. I will say straight off is that the hotel is not bad, I think we just got a low cost room. My first nitpick is that the elevator only goes up to the fifth floor, so if one has a sixth floor room, that means taking a flight of stairs up the final floor. I am sure most people can handle that fine, but for someone unfit - whether that is overweight or aging - it can be draining, plus I had a strained ankle while I was there. Room cleaning relations for our room were minimal, with no bedding straightened, just the rubbish and dirty towels removed and complementary toilet paper and tooth brushes replenished. My other problem was with the front steps, which I do wish had some hand railings available, as due to my ankle injury I had constant stability issues when going down stairs. However I am grateful to the security staff who frequently gave me a steady hand when I went out. But other than these issues, I want to reiterate that this is a good little hotel, located right near a tourist spot and not far from some of Beijing's biggest monuments. It also has a small shop on the ground floor, inside the guest door, that organises tours and sells a number of minor goods, like drinks, snacks, and a few souvenirs. The shop attendant also organises transport to the airport, which is very handy. Do not pass up on this hotel, but consider putting forth a little more money for one of their better rooms.

Hotel was a very good value. The neighborhood is fantastic--tons of restaurants and shops and close to the metro. My room had 2 twin beds with a glass bathroom, that was covered with a lacy curtain. This wasn't a big deal for me, but might be a little awkward if you are sharing the room with someone.

Staff at the front desk were rude and didn't do anything to help with a situation that arose even after I had already paid for both nights of my booking. WILL NEVER STAY HERE AGAIN AND I RECOMMEND YOU TO LOOK ELSEWHERE INSTEAD.

Simple but nice hotel
We only stayed here for the afternoon, to freshen up before heading to the airport to a catch a 1 AM flight. The location is nice, close to Tienanmen and in a bustling local area. Eateries, shops are all there. Rooms are simple but clean, definitely a good place for the budget minded.

Location was redeeming factor
We had been travelling around China, Singapore and Hong Kong staying in similar priced and rated hotels prior to this and were unpleasantly surprised by this hotel. The room itself was in dire need of refurbishment, every wall was marked and the bathroom was bad. The floor had black damp marks and a permanent wet puddle next to the shower (even before we had used the shower), the shower mat was still wet from the previous guests using it and the shower door did not shut properly nor did the shower adjust angle. Safe to say I showered with flip flops on for the duration of my stay as the bathroom did not appear clean at all. There was also only one power point in the room. As a previous reviewer has mentioned, the air con is poor, luckily the temperature outside was mild during our stay so this wasn’t too much of an issue. we didn’t have breakfast included but paid extra for it, at 28 yuan (£3.20) it was good value for money, there was mainly hot Chinese dishes with toast, muesli and boiled eggs also. However, if you go later than 8:30am the coffee is cold and the food isn’t replaced as often. There was a luggage room to store our cases when we checked out at no extra charge which was great but when we asked the hotel to phone us a taxi to the train station they refused. The location however, redeemed this hotel. We were a few minutes away from the nearest metro station and minutes away from local restaurants, a supermarket, McDonald’s and Starbucks.
