I agree with those who said this is not a 5 star hotel. The staff are very poor, especially the reception staff, so unwelcoming. The swimming pool is so poor, they said not really part of the hotel, no towels, the TV, just HBO, no satellite, no Internet in room evrything so poor and such unresponsive staff

First the real name of this hotel is "Royal Court" and it's location is very bad...very far away from metro and everything. We have a superior room and it was horrible, no view, the carpet was dirty, also the bathroom and the furniture was very worn! After check-in we left our things in the room and went to walk...when we... More

This hotel is by far my least favourite hotel I have stayed in over the last few years. It is by no means terrible, just distinctly average, definitely not a five star hotel and one should save their money and book elsewhere. From the outside the hotel looks very regal, except for the awful gold/yellow statue - very tacky Chinese... More

This hotel is poor in every sense. You will just want to leave. No bellboy, lost confirmed booking, smoky non-smoking room, 1970's room furnishings, downbeat clientele, empty restaurants general "worse side of human nature" depression. Avoid

I would not recommend this hotel to anyone. Hasty construction, bad maintenance, garish decor, poor customer service, and inconvenient location is all this hotel has to offer. From far away, this hotel looks promising, but a closer look (and one night's stay) reveals all it's shortcomings. The giant gold statue is actually a fountain that's dried up and filled with...

This is a very beautiful HJ property located in the hip area of Beijing. The front of the hotel is a photo op for sure. It is an older hotel, so the rooms a somewhat smaller that many of the other HJ hotels in China. Compared to the HJ Dalian Parkland hotel you would that that you are in a... More

We stayed at this hotel for 11 nights. Although it is not the perfect location it is still good to have a good walk around and see local way of living and there are some reasonable restaurants accross the road and within walking distance. Taxi's are really cheap and as long as you get someone to write down in Chinese... More

We stayed there for transit one night. The site said it was close to Silk Market and town. It's NOT. Especially in winter it's much to cold to walk anywhere. The closest train station is at least 20 mins walk and the taxis do not frequent the hotel. The concierge wouldn't help us to find a taxi, luckily one of... More

I don't know if I am overly sensitive when it comes to smells, but the HJ is a typical example of Hotels where you find this feculent smell. Even in the rooms. AC i guess. The hotel is connected with a huge housing area, a little park in the middle and some shops inside. Arrinving you will see 8 golden... More

This was hugely disappointing to the point of being a disgrace. Although they present themselves as being an international standard and European style resort hotel, not one staff member had an adequate level of English for smooth communication. The hotel had an impressive exterior which was destroyed by the phenomenally tacky statue gracing the front. We stayed in what was... More
