Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
This hotel was very solid. Good location with endless amounts of stores and restaurants just steps away. Staff was very friendly. The mattress was very soft, so if you prefer a firmer mattress, you may not like that. I personally prefer firmer, but that’s just a personal preference and not an issue with the hotel. Only a couple of issues. Where my room was located, the wifi would cut in and out if I didn’t leave my phone near the desk area. Basically had to leave it on or near the bedside table to keep service. Then the other issue is the room had a slight smell of smoke to it, especially the first night. I’m not sure if someone smoked in the room previously, or if it was another room or outside. It did get better the second night and I didn’t notice it the third. Overall, no major complaints and would definitely stay here again when I come back to Beijing.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
It was in a quiet location but close to the subway and lots of shops and restaurants. Fairly close to Beihai Park. Beds were soft and the room was cleaned when we were away. Great wifi. Difficult to find on a map as its down an alley - I only have chinese maps so this may be why and the address wasnt traanslated well into chinese. Not a lot to offer - no hotel restaurant or bar. a little pricey for its value
