Just a short walk from Tiananmen Square and The Forbidden City. Excellent location walking distance from both hutongs and major shopping streets. Umbrellas provided in room if weather is bad. Well appointed rooms - stayed in two different rooms on 17th and 14th floor. The first was a bit dated and both had very firm but okay beds. Two small... more

Definitely a five star (Chinese) hotel, a long walk or short cab ride from from Tiananmen, the Temple of Heavenly Peace, and Wangfujing. Beds are on the firm side but not quite uncomfortable. Our room was well furnished, though not the most modern - cube TV, standard shower, tea maker. Our travel agency got us an upgrade to a club... more

This certainly does feel like a five star hotel. Others have mentioned that the beds are hard--well, they are--sort of like a padded floor. I slept well, however. As is the case in any Chinese hotel, be very careful what you use. I had a wonderful fruit basket waiting for me. Also, next to the fruit basket were two tins... more

I'm going for an overall rating of excellent because I genuinely belive they deserve it. The locations is about as good as it could be in Beijing since Tianamen Sq, Wangfujing St and the subway are all only a short walk away. The hotel is clean and well appointed, spacious and remarkably good value for it's star rating. Meals and... more

I had a 10th floor room in Tower B, and I could see the rooftops of the Forbidden CIty from my window. The room was spacious, clean, nice bathroom; the king-size bed was hard, though. Since the water is not drinkable (I did brush my teeth with it), the room was stocked with 2 complimentary bottles of water daily (I... more

Very big and clean rooms, Nice bed and good service. Hotel has bowling, pool and fitness club. more

Our stay started off by being informed by a very surly staff member that our room wasn't ready (even though it was after check-in time). She didn't apologize or even make eye contact with us. We waited in the coffee shop for half an hour, then went back to check on things. They had apparently forgotten all about us, and... more

Forget those super-critical that gripe and moan that it isn’t a true 4-star, it is. I have traveled for business and pleasure for more than fifty years and stayed in better and in a hell of a lot worse. The rooms are as good and as well appointed as any 4-star hotel in any country. Are there better? Sure, but... more

We stayed from 11-30 thru 12-6. Very nice hotel & most staff speak english. Did not eat at the hotel, there's a great Muslim place across the street for breakfast, pleanty of little places all around for great fresh food. Jack, the bell capitan, hooked us up with a few places to eat & a car to the Great Wall... more
