By far, this is the nicest hotel I have ever stayed in. The rooms are huge and well appointed. They have supurb lighting, linens, bath fixtures, beds, etc. The room was very quiet and comfy. I never take pictures of hotel rooms, but this one was so fabulous we took pictures to show our friends! The staff was extremely nice and helpful too.
We had a pleasant stay here, the room was nice and the staff tried very hard to be helpful. We thought the hotel was well located. Our only issue was the hotel made awful restaurant recommendations. Fortunately we could check online because there was free Internet in the lobby. We were surprised by the poor English in general although some at the concierge desk had good English skills.
The Hilton Beijing Wangfujing was very spacious and clean. It was fairly close to the Forbidden City, a couple of malls, street vendors. etc. We utilized the executive lounge while we were there and all the staff was extremely helpful in helping us plan our day trips. Sara and Angel were extremely helpful and they spoke very good english (not everyone does in Mainland China).
The location is very good for 1st time travelers. It's beside Wangfujing a huge tourist market area with malls and such. The bargain shops such as Silk Road building and buy now computer mall are all 15 'mins by cab,about RMB25, per way.
There is a mall beside the hotel and a mini grocery across the street. The lobby is very nice, compact and cozy. The staff are all attentive exuding the hospitality typical of Asian hotels. Everyone it seems is eager to lend a hand. There are only 2-3 food outlets but they seem to be good. Had the breakfast buffet and is delicious and complete, with some western and Chinese fare.
The room that we booked was the cheapest one but it was very good. It was actually better than it looked in the picture. The toilets are clean and fresh smelling everyday. I would stay here again and highly recommend it for first time Beijing visitors. Location wise it's a 10 min ride to Tianmen square and is smack in the middle of the city so it's a good hub for taxi riding tourists.
Hilton Wangfujing made my stay in Beijing perfect! I arrived and they offered a free upgrade for a room. The location of the hotel is great. A large shopping complex is right in front of it, the Donganmen snack street is only a few strides away, Forbidden City/Tiananmen were close by, and the Wangfujing subway station was close by as well. There were usually taxis lined up in front of the hotel so they would have been an easy choice for transportation as well. The room was large, luxurious and very comfortable.
The staff was also great. There were complications with checking-in but all the staff were very kind, courteous, and generous. Every evening someone would come into my room to fix the lights, bed, and leave soft music on! I felt so relaxed every night after a long day of touring.
