Beijing Family Accommodation

Location was good as well. Only the ng the staff spoke very little English.

You'll get a pretty good standard room close to Beijing Railway Station and above a supermarket. However, only a few of the staff speak English, so communication can be an issue. Paid breakfast is RMB 80. In a standard room, there are at least two international plug sockets (pictured). There is a hairdryer in the room (pictured), which is adequate for short hair. Ironing facilities available. Shaving socket available (pictured). Shower head (pictured) is fixed to the wall but you will get a decent shower out of it. Safe provided (pictured) is large enough for an average laptop. The hotel has a money exchange which will change currency to RMB but not the other way. There is a Bank of China nearby if you want this. A Western Union money transfer agent can be found at the back of the block. Exit the hotel, turn left, up to the junction and turn left again. It's next to Pizza Hut on the ground floor. You get two 500ml bottles of water in the room every day, which is a nice touch. Internet: free internet access is available. The wireless internet, I found, was a bit patchy and was only strong in the corridors. In the room, it seemed to drop a lot, unless I was standing right behind the door. However, wired internet is available and this was reliable. Hotel provides a Cat 5e cable. Beware: Chinese hotels often ask for a deposit and this one asks for RMB 500. I wasn't aware of this but luckily had the money on me. Don't lose the receipt. You'll get your money back at the end.

The free shuttle was easy to find from the Beijing Airport and the staff was very friendly and spoke English very well. Very good place to stay during a long layover. They also offer City and Great Wall tours as well!! :)

eerything, every staff member was perfect except for the music in the club on the 6th floor...it was awful... immature girl singers with boring songs about themselves

Budget transit hotel with free shuttle service. The room itself looked pretty similar to the photos. The bed linen and the towels seemed brand-new and the duvets were very fluffy, not at all what I was expecting from a budget Chinese hotel. Free wi-fi and some international TV channels were available in the room.

Very central - on subway line. The concierges were Very helpful

I stayed for two nights this past weekend. After my stay, I would highly recommend this hotel for the following reasons: - GREAT LOCATION - literally a few steps from the subway station and one block from Sanlitun street where alot of the foreigners are with Western bars and restaurants. This was important for me as I did not want to waste time/money on taxis in heavy Beijing traffic. - Full service fitness center - which is a private fitness club but is complimentary for guests. Four levels with full selection of cardio and weight training equipment. - Pool - indoor, clean, and friendly staff - Hotel staff - very friendly and professional. English level ok. Easy check in and out. - Breakfast - great! worth getting. - Bed - comfortable, clean, and great size even for tall guests (which I am) - Shower water pressure - excellent! - security - there was always staff at the doors and you needed a room key to get up elevator But some drawbacks - slight mold/mildew in the shower - not enough to freak you out, but its there - carpet in room had stains and was worn out - wifi was ok - not great in terms of speed and full range, but there was always service - overall interior was dated and needed a fresh look. Although clean and expensive looking at one time,, it could be updated. Overall, I would definitely stay at this hotel again.

I enjoyed the 2 nights stay in this hotel. My room is not big but very cozy and clean. The airport shuttle stops at the hotel, and 5-8 min walking to subway, taxi is easily find... Good deal for the price.

Good, functional, hotel in good location, but not luxurious to normal Shangri La stabbed

You won't find this level of amenities at a better price. that said, they are a little worn but that seems pretty standard at hotels in China. The no smoking rule is violated routinely, but a little airing out seems to help the smell in the rooms. The Internet is very spotty in the rooms but pretty good in the lobby. Lots of connected restaurants and stores in the complex make this a very convenient location. The subway is about a 10 min walk and there are plenty of other restaurants within walking distance.
