The location is great, right by the Birds Nest and Water Cube - they look wonderful by night and there's plenty happening there. The concierge recommended both a good Peking Duck restaurant, and a tour to the Great Wall which was quite good value for money: a young guide who took the six of us who'd signed up from different...

I booked the Catic as I was at a trade event at the Convention Centre nearby. Things didn't start well as my reservation had been made a day late, so I had to take a smoking room at full walk-up rate for the first night. Not the hotel's fault, but the the check-in process took about 20 minutes and at... More

had an very comfortable, enjoyable 5 day stay in April at this hotel. Room was very clean, comfortable. Restaurant food was excellent. All the staff were very friendly and most of them could speak English. The only drawback for us was the room heating had been turned off, and when the temperatures went down to about 7C the room was... More

This is a good hotel if you sty only for a couple of days in Beijing. I was there for two days for a conference in the China National Convention Center. You can reach this Congress Center by walking in 15 min. The hotel rooms are spacious and clean. The bed is large size and not to soft – very... More

My general impression of this hotel is that it is trying to approach the standards of an international business hotel, but it has not reached this level yet. This, however, is what they are aiming for, with the nearby Convention Center as their most important source of guests. The staff is very friendly and willing to help, but most of... More

I stayed at this hotel for a work function - it was a nice hotel, clean and comfortable. It's a bit far from most of the main tourist attractions and not very close to a subway station. The heating system in the rooms isn't great, so if it's cold outside it's difficult to warm the room. Also, the food in... More

I stayed at this hotel for 3 nights and found it very comfortable. The bed is soft and the room nice. The hotel location was not a problem for me as my meetings were conducted nearby. The proximity of The Bird Nest and Water Cube were welcome distractions at night where the colourful lighting provided opportunities to take photos.

The Cactic is a well-maintained place, with the comforts one might come to expect of a hotel. Perhaps one of the best reasons to stay here is its proximity to the Olympic park and the China National Convention Center, without paying potentially dearly for one of the CNCC's adjoining hotels. My room was clean, comfortable, and well-appointed. Among the nice... More

I stayed in this hotel for four nights while attending a conference nearby. Well, I say nearby, but the main problem with this hotel is that it is not really near anywhere. It is situated quite far from central Beijing ... and curiously far from everything else as well. This would be fine if taxis were easy to use ...... More
