Enjoy a slower pace of sightseeing — and perhaps even tap into your spirituality — at Fire God Temple. If you're able to go inside, why not hang around for a moment or two of quiet meditation?

You're spoiled for sightseeing choice when spending time in Downtown Beijing. Fire God Temple is an ideal place to begin here, but there are plenty of other interesting spots to consider. Forbidden City, Tiananmen Square, and Wangfujing Street are not far from the place of worship and will top off your day nicely.

It’s a budget rundown place so it’s acceptable for the price. Bit far to walk to MTR. Staff is very friendly.

I have very mixed feelings about our stay: Positives: - location (close to subway, supermarket next door,etc) - friendly and helpful reception staff (don't really speak English but use a translator device and keen to help). - big room with a separate area for kids Negatives: - overall decor and cleanliness - as children stay free no amenities were provided for them. Had to ask for bedding and towels on arrival. Their bed never got made or enough towels left. - very rude staff in the breakfast bar (apart from the young guy on a couple of mornings) - rooms only cleaned superficially, sink and floor dirty, mushrooms sprouting in the shower. - limited breakfast options for western palates, not much variety from day to day. - no free ice-cream in lobby. My kids were disappointed. We stayed for 9 days and it wasn't available once. Don't advertise if you're not going to restock it. - view from our winfow: ask for street view if you can!
