Great value for money.

Jiangou hotel is a great value for money hotel, in the heart of the CBD, very close to the \"Silk Market\" and right at Yong'anli (永安里) subway station on Line 1. Very convenient, clean, and comfortable. English speaking front desk and concierge. With their competitive room rates, you can't go wrong.

Reasonable Price Hote with decent quality Beijing

Been staying at this hotel on and off for over twenty years. Ideal location for subway.
Breakfast buffet is okay but could be better. Manager needs to shake the staff up a little with replenishment of coffee cups an issue, and also clearing away tables still be used and yet leaving tables where it was obvious guests had left the dining room.

We loved the pool - It is a once-in-a-lifetime experience and we cannot wait to go back to this wonderful property. I made the arrangements and feel in love with the pool and my husband hadn't seen the pool until we got there. My husband went down to the pool before me and can back to the hotel room and wanted me to hurry because he was so excited about spending time together in the pool. We actually got up at 4:00 a.m. to have tea and get ready to go to the pool. It is like a rainforest and the most amazing pool we have ever seen and we have travelled the world and have never seen anything like it.

When I travel to Beijing, I stay at the Jianguo Hotel. I have stayed here for 11 years. This is the first time that I have had to go through security to get in the hotel and check in. Honestly, after getting up at 3:30 am and basically traveling for 27 hours by the time I reach the hotel, the last thing I want to do is have to go through security again. I am not happy at all with this and will probably stay at another hotel in Beijing when traveling. There are lots of them.

Best part about this hotel is the location. This is why we chose it. Close to the Subway (like steps away) as well as great food and the Silk Market. I would not classify it as a 4-star hotel. Horrible smell and it is outdated. The staff was the best we had in China. Elva Zhao went above and beyond to assist us with a room change as we needed to be close together and had as issue with the rooms. She was outstanding.

The BAD experience is: RMB 9 per page to print in the business center. I travel around the world every year. YOU MOST LIKELY HAVE THE WORLD RECORD AND CHINA RECORD re this price. Rediculous. As s matter of principle I will not stay at Jianguo again until that price is about the full cost for the hotel; probably 1-2 RMB per page.

The hotel is in a good location and the actual building and the rooms are fine but the standard of service was consistently poor.

I could speak to them in Chinese but many other guests couldn't. The food is quite basic and the restaurant is very slow. The staff have to be asked to help with luggage, even for guests who are clearly struggling. Asking for any help with anything seemed to be asking for too much. The staff speak in Chinese about the guests without knowing who can understand what they are saying.

It’s also close to the China World Mall, about 10 mins walking. Value for money is good but the hotel can use some more English speaking staff. Concierge was ok but front desk at reception hardly spoke any English. If you need taxi you have to specify to the Concierge to get a YELLOW taxi.

Not newest or fanciest, but certainly top shelf

Among the many glitzy Beijing hotels, this is not the newest, neither the fanciest, but certainly top shelf. It is at an enviable location, next to diplomatic quarters, and subway station is literally at the door step. Being one of the first joint venture hotels with international chains, it has established itself with experience and very well trained staff. It may lack some modern facilities but certainly makes up with convenience and staff. \"Punching above its own weight\" is the best way to describe it. Rooms facing the street is not bad with traffic noise, but rooms facing the inner courtyard get you the charm and grace of a small but elegant and quiet Chinese garden.

A run down place with lousy service

This is a hotel opened in 1982, very old compare with other hotels in the same area. Their management system is also very old. It cannot find room automatically when the guest check-in. The front desk staffs need manually find a room for guest. This makes the check-in process very slow.
The room service is so lousy. We stayed there 5 nights. I used the shower cup on the fist night and I hang it up on the washroom door. The maid threw it away and never provide a new one. For twice, the sink was not cleaned. I run out of toilet paper once, and another day when I was in shower and found out that there was no new shampoo and conditioner provided. In brief, there was issue with the cleaning lady everyday.
The room we stay was facing the main street of Beijing, it is very noise day and night. In addition, one night we heard the noise of upstairs shower and another night the guest in next room was drunk, yelling and threw up. So the room is not sound proof from any direction.
Every time we ask the front desk to call a taxi, they call the expensive one (the price is double than regular one) and the waiting time is 15 minutes or longer. I think they get kick backs from this expensive taxi company. Once my husband specifically ask they to call the regular taxi, they said there nothing available.
Recently we stayed there 3 times because of there location and price. But for sure there will not be next time.

Not as good as in the past. Wont be back.

I've stayed at this hotel many times in the past, usually a decent stay and no complaints. Convenient location and helpful semi English speaking staff. A few issues this time and since there are so many great and reasonably priced hotels in Beijing, we probably won't be back.
1. Paid for two upgraded suites on the Club 4th floor, but needed roll away beds in both rooms for 2 kids since each suite only has one king bed. The hotel tried to charge $45 USD extra for each bed per night. Seriously this was almost as much as paying for a 3rd normal room. If I would have known this I would have just booked 3 normal rooms with double beds. Ridiculously overpriced for an extra tiny bed.
2. Concierge staff needs work. Never had issues before, but this trip had several. They don't call a regular taxi anymore, but only the black cars that cost 50-100% more than a taxi. Twice we were dropped off at wrong locations because the staff wrote the wrong restaurant addresses. Also got dropped off at Temple of Heaven when we asked to go to Forbidden City. My wife has DiDi (Chinese Uber) but staff wouldn't give her English spellings so she could use it to call our own pickups. We had 6 people in our family and we verified a large vehicle for the airport at 5:30am, but only a small taxi was there when we checked out.
I have stayed in China over 50 trips, several different hotels, and I was very dissapointed this time.
