You don't need to be an architecture buff to appreciate an excursion to Gate Tower of the Cloud-Retaining Eves. This notable tower has a long history and stands head and shoulders above the rest!

This historic construction is on the to-do lists of many visitors to Haidian. But Gate Tower of the Cloud-Retaining Eves isn't the only drawcard here. Tsinghua University, Summer Palace, and Old Summer Palace are some other worthwhile sights close by.

7.8/10 Good! (24 reviews)

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!
