First of all, I paid US$86 per night (Y668) for a really fine, recently renovated room. That seems a little low, and I don't know whether that is because there was renovation in progress on my floor which produced low levels of noise, or because I got a discount for booking on line. One night from midnight to 5 a.m.,... more

Not a bad hotel, but unless you need to be here for a reason there are better choices. The hotel website is [--] , which I had a hard time finding before I went. The major problem is the rooms. When you book a room, especially if you get a good deal, expect to be put into one of the... more

The hotel is located at Xi Dan area (west of Wangfujing) and has an impressive look from outside. Even the lobby has a sense of grandness when you first walked in but don't be fooled by... more

Stayed at Minzu in July of 2004. They did not have the correct reservation, and tried to put 3 grown women in 2 twin beds. Beds were quite hard. No matress padding at all. We tried to ask for a car and driver and got taken to the beauty salon. There appeared to be no one who was on staff... more
