I stayed one night in the Villas section at the back of the hotel. The room was a bit dated but clean and spacious with fast internet. I paid only 298 RMB (about US $42). No CNN on the TV, but it is fairly quiet. The Sizhimen subway station is about a 20 minute walk or a 10 RMB taxi... more

I've really got no complaints about this hotel, but no real compliments either. The rooms were clean, but spare. The staff was nice, but not great with English. The location isn't really near anything except Beijing's pitiful zoo, but it's right across the street from that. The breakfast buffet was large, but I blame some warm milk for making me... more

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

we recently stayed at the xiyuan hotel for 3 nights as part of an organised tour of china. we found this particular hotel perfectly adequate , the room was large as was the bathroom (2 showers). all the cosmetics provided you could possible need. i would not rate as a 5 star more like 4 but would happily stay there... 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
