Hotel is on the old side but not disappointing. Good location, close to train stations and easy access. Housekeeping was good. More locals vs. foreigners so staff speak limited English. Concierge is helpful and front desk was hospitable. All in all stay was great.

Would not stay again unless absolutely needed

I would never stay at this hotel again, to be honest. I'm on my 4th out of 14th night and I feel like leaving already. Too many issues that made this stay very poor:

1. At check-in, the receptionist refused to give me a second key. Every other hotel gives two keys at check-in regardless of one or two guests, but they refused despite me asking many times for a second key.
2. Bad air conditioner and safety box - I had to ask multiple times to get the air conditioner checked and finally they gave me a new room.
3. Really bad smoke smell - Feels like someone's been smoking all day on this floor even though it's a non smoking hotel. Clearly no one's taken action on this yet.

There are far better 4-star hotels to stay in.

I would’ve given this hotel a really good rating overall but I pre-paided for a double bed suite and they gave me a single. I didn’t speak the language so I couldn’t work out a change. They did bring a rollaway but when I got back from my stay I saw that I got charged for that too. really nice place but mixing up the reservation made it not worth it.

Hotel is in a good location which meet my needs. It’s an old hotel however because of its age, the room itself is spacious compared to lots of newer hotels. Customer service in the hotel is minimum. I called the CS number to ask a question and the lady hanged on me as soon as she answered the question. The breakfast offers good variety of selections however, guests have to share table with other strangers due to the limited space in that breakfast area. All in all, it’s a decent hotel but not 5 stars for sure.

its a government hotel

The room is 5-ish star though the bathroom is only 4 star. The most annoying thing is that it is no longer a sheraton but I suspect a government hotel--thus they do not put much emphasis on putting the customer first--The management is also very strict so if you are looking for a hotel with leniency this is not the one for you. Also the plugs in the room are HK style--God knows why since its in China. The outside swimming pool is derelict and you get a sense that they are operating on the coat tails of what this hotel used to be like when run under the corporate guidance of Sheraton. I will not be staying there again.

You thought you could enjoy the night view of the city there but what you saw was just mirror and yourself with the coated glass. Coke was 45 yuan per can, which is 7 USD! Even so, the waitress wanted to the use my old glass with leftover Coke to fill iced water for me!

Excellent location is what sells this place, especially for those seeking walking access to Sanlitun, and at the right part of the city for easy access from and to airport (30 min and RMB70).

An old hotel needing updates

The hotel isn't bad, but it's an old hotel for sure. It's overall comfortable given temperatures in early May, but air conditioning wasn't strong to cool the room in mid-summer. The biggest problem was the lack of US-compatible power outlets. Anyone who doesn't carry multiple e-devices needs to carry one or two power outlet adapters.
