8.4/10 Very Good! (11 reviews)

To get to the hotel you can take Beijing subway line 1 or line 8 to Wangfujing station then exit E3 to Wangfujing street. After arriving on the street, around 30 steps you can find McDonald restaurant on the corner of the street. Turn left walk 50m then turn left for the first small alley, continue to walk around 50m you can find the hotel. The hotel is very close to busy street Wangfujing with lots of shops and restaurants. The hotel is also near Tiananmen Square and Forbidden City To go to Forbidden City, take subway line 1 stop at Tiananmen East Gate (1 stop from Wanfujing station). To go to Tiananmen Square take subway line 1 stop at Tiananmen West Gate (2 stops from Wangfujing station). The receptionists are helpful. The bedroom is not big but clean and modern. The toilet seat is warm. You can try Beijing duck at Quanjude restaurant at Wangfujing street, 10 minute walk from the hotel.

8.8/10 Excellent! (921 reviews)

Other than the outdated tiny TV and having no hooks in the spacious bathroom, it’s a great place to stay in BJ! Right next to the subway, 3rd ring, and surrounded by mall and wonderful food courts, it offers great views of the heart of CBD and complete silence when rests in the room! Excellent value for sure!
