It looks funny when you enter with all the black and red velvetish decor but the guys at the reception speak decent English and are extremely helpful. They will assist you with taxis, tours, places to visit, advise you on shopping, traveling and will print you out maps in English for every place you visit. They really make the difference for your visit to Beijing.
The rooms are big, clean and well equiped. It is located in a good neighbourhood with clubs and restaurants close by. The subway is about 300 metres away from the hotel and you can get anywhere from there.
To the guys in the reception: thank you very much for making us enjoy Beijing!!

Hotel G is a gem in the worker's stadium neighbourhood (near Sanlitun). It takes about 15 minutes to walk to the Salitun soho area from the hotel. There are also some nice resturants (Golden Lotus for thai food and Bellagio for some quick chinese food) along the way. Hotel breakfast is not bad - you get to pick a hot breakfast ala carte and there's also a small selection of buffet breakfast food (dim sum, toasts, cheese etc).

Rooms are big and comfortable, not to mention that it is quite tastefully furnished. There is a fun element to the rooms as you can pick the colors of the neon lights at your windows! The bathroom is a tad old but nontheless clean.

Staff are friendly and always willing to help. I would stay here again if I intend to visit Beijing.

Nicely designed, although a little tired, with great staff who try and make your stay pleasurable.
Was not too impressed with the food here ... But again the service staff made all the difference.
Great location.
Comfortable room layout.

I stay at Hotel G every month for about a week. It's my home away from home in Beijing and they always try to accommodate my requests. The rooms are roomy and bed comfortable. The bar downstairs has a great vibe and the breakfasts with the fresh orange juice are great. It is conveniently located near worker's stadium and Sanlitun so is 5 minutes in a taxi to most of the stuff outside of work that an international traveller would want. Sometimes it's difficult to get a taxi but the hotel has a car so can get you to where you need to go if it's particularly urgent. A great boutique hotel in a city where you need fluent English-speaking staff if you can't speak the local lingo. Highly recommend it.
