Try and avoid this hotel if you can, the room we had was very tired and the bathroom was a disgrace, they must use the whole output of the grouting industry in China to try keep the mould around the shower unit at bay and fail in the process. The room was very dark and the lighting is totally inadaquate.... more

This hotel is beautiful, comfortable and located in an interesting part of Beijing. We stayed here for three nights at the end of our trans siberian trip and could not have wished for a better end to our holiday. The room was lovely, bed extremely comfortable, the breakfast was amazing and restaurants varied with delicious food. The street where the... more

Large hotel with decent rooms although quite dark and there were no bedside lights. There is an office where you can make reservations for one of the five restaurants and we went with our Chinese Guide to book ameal in the Grill (enough rice for now). We checked with the office later in the day to ensure the restaurant was... more

We had two short stays at this hotel. On both occasions the room was excellent with good facilities. The buffet breakfast has something for everyone but is not cheap at about 9GBP. The bar and restaurant staff were obliging as were the concierge staff. I would recommend this hotel without any hesitation. more

this hotel has a deal with Chinese government offices. The hotel staff really did not care about their clients because they got deals from the coferences sponsored by the government anyway. They still hold that bad attitute in the 60's and 70's when sales assistants acted like your bosses. They lose guests' laundry quite often, or better they purposely hide... more

10/24/07 Just returned from staying at the Xiyuan Hotel. We were booked in one of the basic rooms, but since was on a smoking floor, moved to one of the basis suites on non-smoking floor. These are on the ends of the halls, so 2 outside walls (see below). Good, basic hotel. Although states is 5 Star, actually 4 Star... more

Just finished a 30 day stay at the hotel for a work assignment so I have a good idea of the place. Service from staff was excellent and so quick whenever a request made. Language did not seem a barrier as staff patient and try to understand or would get assistance from staff that spoke English. Buffet breakfast was delicious... more

We stayed in the smaller Xiyuan Villas, which are cheaper rooms and not in the same building as the main hotel. First the good: the beds and pillows were extremely comfortable, something that's not that easy to find with midprice hotels in China. The Villa restaurant is very reasonably priced (US$ 5 per dish) and quite delicious (but skip the... more
