This hotel is, as noted, a bit out of the way, but not difficult to get to by taxi. The benefit of the location is that it is quiet and calm, and the neighborhood is a bit more typical than the average hotel area. If you are interested in the main sites, you can get to them easily. Relatively convenient... More

This hotel was found at the last minute by chance on Booking.com. My daughter, niece and I paid $25.00 per night. When we could communicate the staff were pleasant. Our room was very large, clean, comfortable and very modern. Bottled water was provided daily. As with everywhere else in Beijing, the staff did not speak English and a traveller's dictionary...

Having studied the language I decided to go the more local route and stay at a Chinese hotel as opposed to a large chain.... More

For our first stay in Beijing as always we booked online through comparison sites and we got this for 5 nights for only £58!! When we got there although we had trouble finding it we were amazed by what we paid for. The reception was really nice with a young lady playing a harp! Yes a harp for £58! The... More

Good: Warm welcome despite my turning up looking like a tramp! Bathroom very clean, free bottled water supplied. Help with booking train tickets (small charge applied, but they went to collect the tickets for me). The managers spoke good English - 'David' was particularly helpful. Bad: Breakfast is extortionate (around £7), if it wasn't included in your room price. Around... More
