We stayed here for 3 nights as part of a guilded tour of China. The hotel was located on a busy road opposite a huge shopping centre (if you want to cross the road, don't dice with death alone, either chain yourself to a local or walk slightly down the road and use the bridge) Because of the shopping centre...

16 Sep - 23 Sep, 2011 I picked Friendship Hotel for the stay, since the conference I was attending (International Conference on Document Analysis and Recognition ICDAR 2011), was being held in the same hotel. This would be my first visit to China, and not knowing much about the country, its people, it transportation options, food and the like, I... More

I stayed in building one. The room was very spacious, and very comfortable. Great bed. Hotel is located across the street from the metro allowing easy access to the center of Beijing. It is also close to the Summer Palace, and the Bell Temple. Breakfast was bountiful and good. The available guided day tours of Beijing are excellent and are... More

We did not like the fact... More

We stayed here on the last leg of our China trip and thought it was an excellent hotel. The room was the smallest of the ones that we stayed in, but was perfectly adequate and was very clean and well equipped. The hotel is situated on a large complex made up of different blocks and as our block was located... More

This hotel is huge, it's more of a complex than a hotel. We stayed in Building 4 as part of our Travelsphere tour of China. We certainly had no complaints, the room was adequate and clean. Breakfast was adequate, they did a seperate room for Travelsphere as there were 2 or 3 bus loads in at the same time, so... More
