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.

9.2/10 Wonderful! (1,003 reviews)

Nice property in a great location. Staff was friendly and helpful. We had to check in early and altho they could not provide a double bed room, they provided the next best option with a nice view. Concierge was very helpful. Would have been great if they responded through expedia portal or had another contact ahead of check in to book tours through.
