The tour group focused on cheaper end, well located hotels that marketed more towards Chinese use than tourist. To me that classified as a low-end "business" hotel. The communal areas were clean and neat but the Chinese attitude towards room service is dubious.... it seems that provision of the ubiquitous slipper is seen as a substitute for hoovering/sweeping. This hotel... more

This hotel is quite dated. Even as a first impression walking into the lobby I could see that it hadn't been updated in quite some time. The service desk was very slow to take notice of our presence. I live in China so I have some experience with the Asian culture compared to my homeland North America but waiting at... more

Pretty descent hotel. Location is descent with corner stores, ATM, fruit stand and subway very close buy. One issue I found was that a few taxi drivers had problems locating the hotel because of the many one-way streets in the area. Had the opportunity to stay in 2 different rooms (switched around with tour mates) and both rooms had the... more

I stayed here as part of tour with GAP Adventures. The location was fine, within walking distance of Tiananmen Square and the Forbidden City. The room was basic but clean. Service was good. The breakfast buffet was ok and not too expensive. The TV in the room had an English channel, BBC World News. I had no complaints. more

I stayed there coming and going to a different city in China and so stayed in two different rooms. Both were fine - clean, quiet well supplied with towels and soap etc. One had a small refrig. maybe the other did also, but I didn't notice it. both had a scale to weigh yourself (something i never saw in any... more

This is apparently an ordinary hotel - until you go to bed! Beds appear to be only a box spring with neither a mattress nor any type of padding to help the experience. This is enough to avoid the hotel if at all possible. The room also did not meet our standards for cleanliness. Only plus here is location. You... more

some have commented that all Chinese beds are hard -- and indeed in a private home in the hutong the bed we observed (and felt) was about like these -- but in all the modest hotels in China I have stayed in, I have never encountered one this miserable. The beds in this hotel are like a blanket on a... more

My usual hotel had a mix-up in the reservations (actually my fault) and sent us down the road via taxi to this hotel. I would refer all to the posted review titled: "Don't understand all the negative reviews". I agree with all. A word to 1st time China travelers: ALL THE BEDS IN CHINA ARE HARD! I normally stay (3... more

Room was booked through a travel agent as part of tour package. Staff was not friendly, helpful nor spoke any English. Breakfast was terrible. Room smell musty. Room booked was Non Smoking but you can smell a combination of cigarette smell and wet carpet when you came in to the door. No climate control, cool air = hot air only... more
