The hotel's location is convenient to go to Tsinghua University. The breakfast is good. But the condition is poor. Many places should be updated. Some mains sockets are in poor condition. The hotel is rather expensive.I would not recommend this hotel.

It's toasting hot thru out our stay! The room temperature is 29 degree C. The hotel response- we can not turn on air conditioning for you. But why? They couldn't give an answer that makes sense. All they did was to give us a fan and tell us open the window, and they claim they are 5 star hotel. A two star can do better!

Extremely unpleasant experience. Terrible service, staff are unhelpful and cold, not to mention rather rude. Had to keep chasing them to do basic things like housekeeping or assisting in bringing down the luggages. I even ended up having to wait for about 3 hours before they finally decided they could spare some time to help me, and this was after multiple calls made to them and even making a few trips down to the front desk to request for help, where quite a few staff were just idling around. I was quite shocked that they are also one of the rare few bigger hotels I stayed in China that does not have the food delivery robot, and the food delivery shelves are placed outside of the hotel, so if it's raining, it isn't very convenient. Note that the hotel also refuses to help sign for delivery parcels so it is quite troublesome to make separate arrangements. Another thing I really disliked was that the front desk and concierge kept trying to shirk responsibilities. When you approach the front desk, more often than not, they'll try to direct you to the concierge which is usually not being attended by anyone. The rooms are spacious but are quite old and aren't that clean either. Honestly, for the expensive price paid, it is very disappointing. Really, this hotel has nothing good going for it except for its prime location (right outside Tsinghua). If you aren't planning on going to Tsinghua for a long period of time, I highly discourage staying in this trash hotel.

Hotel is definitely over priced for the rooms as they need repair.. If it wasn't convenient, I would not stay again.. It took forever for them to find our reservation, though it was during COVID periods..

Tired rooms but great location near unis
Check-in is friendly, but the rooms are old and not in great shape. The bathroom was especially tired and a bit grimy. Location is great if you have business at Peking University or Tsinghua University. It’s a 1-km walk to the east gate of PKU, and just a block away from Tsinghua’s south gate.

I was visiting Qinghua and Beijing University. The location is so convenient to both universities. The staffs are very responsive and helpful. While visiting those universities, I was also interested in touring the city. The staffs gave me very good suggestions on the tours which fitted into my schedule, also helped me out getting taxi since I did not have WeChat pay. It was an excellent experience staying here

Not terrible, certainly not amazing
I suspect this is only a hotel to use if you have particular reason to be in this area. First an Expedia problem (I assume): we extended 1 more night (my mum is 79 so we didn't want to move rooms let alone hotel). All bookings were for 2 adults: hotel+breakfast but somehow the extra night booking stated on the reservation that only 1 person could have breakfast (unlike the earlier nights). Very odd. I didn't argue with the hotel and just paid extra since the reservation had the problem. A mistake by Expedia I assume. The staff were lovely. We don't speak Chinese and they tried their best (two or three of them could more or less communicate with us for most issues). The hotel was probably nice 5+ years ago but is dated now. We had numerous minor maintenance issues. No working aircon (possibly hotel policy as apparently moving room wouldn't have helped: it wasn't overly hot so we coped OK and they were kind enough to bring us a fan), kettle plug didn't work but we worked out it was the socket as it worked elsewhere, bathroom door kept getting stuck as a screw was loose and it took several minutes of fiddling each time to resolve etc. Everything was a bit dated too but not too badly. Good sized rooms though. We relied on Didi (China's uber as it were: a friend installed it on my Android phone via a local site as you can't from the normal Google Play -- there's no issue installing on iPhones I believe) so can't speak to taxi hailing.

Very pleasant stay
Good location with shops and restaurants within walking distance. There are several bus lines right outside the entrance. The staffs are very courteous and helpful. The room is very clean. The on site restaurant is very good. The only shortfall is that the floor in the shower stall is tilted in an angle that the water can’t be properly drained. Overall, it was a very pleasant stay. We will definitely comeback if visiting this area again.

Great Hotel in Haidian, Beijing
This is a wonderful hotel. The decor is very elegant, the carpets are plush, and they keep it up very well. Everything works - the hot water, elevators, phones, etc. The front desk does not speak English well, but the Bell Captain does and all of them have been extremely kind and helpful. Our group had a major problem - a Board member forgot that his reservation started on Sunday and was very upset when he arrived on Tuesday and had no room, and they may him pay again. But they resolved that problem. They were completely honest and clear about what happened, after we were able to overcome the language barriers. I will recommend this hotel to everyone I know coming to Beijing and staying in the Haidian district.

We stayed here for five nights. The standard room is spacious, clean, and well lit. The king-sized bed is quite comfortable. The location is convenient with multiple bus lines and two subway lines within walking distance. All staff are friendly. Definitely will stay here again next time we visit Beijing!

Second stay at Wnjin
The decor is a bit old and out updated. The first time I stay in this hotel was just after the Olympic games and the condition was superb. The carpet in the room was spotty. The reception of wireless wifi is weak. However, if you are visiting Tsinghua University, this is perhaps the best place to stay.

Difficulty at the desk
Arrived very late for check in, about 1 am. No record of my Expedia reservation. Desk staff would not call Expedia, so I made a series of calls to Expedia with bad connections. On my 4th try, the Expedia CS was very helpful and bore with the 30+ minute ordeal of faxing the reservation to the hotel... which it turned out they had! I had the distinct impression that the hotel staff did not fully understand their jobs. It should not take 45 minutes to check in and when there is a reservation problem, the hotel should make the call(s), not the guest.

Good rooms, bad staff
The rooms are decent and clean but the hotel staff is incompetent, rude and lazy. They don't ever smile. Furthermore, you cannot sit anywhere in the lobby without being approached by a staffer who requires you to purchase a severely overpriced drink or coffee.

good hotel for business in the area
I was at a conference at Tsinghua University, which is right next door. If one has business in the area then this is a great hotel. The service was great and the room was roomy and clean. This hotel, however, is not convenient for accessing the tourist attractions downtown (45-60 minutes by subway or 30-40 minutes by taxi).

2-star hotel with 5-star/4-star advertising
Worst hotel ever. The so called 5-star can be at most rated 2-star in US. The air conditioning is not automatic, meaning that the temperature is not adjustable and one has to turn it off if its too hot! Other things are sub-par as well, e.g., the shower door will not close fully, the caulking is faulty, and the room is tiny. The breakfast is not as good as other hotels either.

Hotel air conditioning did not work throughout the building, room was 80+ degrees. Concierge/front desk either unable or unwilling to call taxis for guests and are generally unhelpful. Mold in bathrooms, black water coming out of tub faucet. Wifi extremely flaky and pretty much unusable.
