Park Plaza Beijing Science Park
The room was rather cramped and the bathroom, very tiny. The housekeeping staff was very attentive. The location was great as very near a subway

The staff barely spoke English and you wouldn’t expect that from a 4-5 star hotel even in China and most importantly, there was no vegetarian option in food menu!
