"Advertised as a private room but was actually a dorm (same story reported by other travelers). Sheets instead of curtains. Told off for talking at 11pm. Noisy repairs underway from 7am. Floors never swept, tables sticky. Gave the property 3 days notice I would be leaving early but they still refused even a partial refund for the remaining nights, leaving me hundreds of dollars out of pocket. Absolute money grubbing. Stay away."

Top China Hotel Reviews

Peace Hotel Beijing

10/10 Excellent

"Very centralized in an area walkable to shops, food & importantly the forbidden city. Eric the hotel staff was so helpful to direct us to great shopping for jade & local food spots. Also to order room service when we arrived late. He spoke great English & really took the time to help us out on each occasion."

Sunworld Hotel Beijing Wangfujing

10/10 Excellent

"The staff was very helpful especially the front desk personels. They were always glad to entertain my questions. Overall the hotel was very clean. It was also very centrally located and very accessible to the subway and to the main attraction. IT was so close to the wangfujing pedestrian street that strolling during the evening was well worth it. The street lighted up and was very festive. I would highly recommend the hotel to all travellers without a doubt."

Conrad Shanghai

8/10 Good

"The location was excellent right on the Ninjing road with access to all the shops, however, a long walk to the Bund - The breakfast was excellent with plenty of options - the rooms was good, however the fridge wasn’t working and the toilet flush was not working properly - the hotel did not accommodate our early check in request even though requested well in advance due to the very early flight. Overall, good choice to stay in."

Four Seasons Guangzhou

10/10 Excellent

"Hotel Staff at very nice and friendly at every place in the hotel. We were celebrating our wedding anniversary and they gave us a room upgrade to one of the best rooms in the hotel. Special thanks for guest experience team member Eva she made a beautiful decoration in our room and was pending for every single need we had and was in contact with us all the time. Thank you again Eva you are the best!!"
