My friend and I decided to book this property after seeing that the reviews on Expedia were not too bad but we had a shock when we arrived at the hotel. Our journey to the hotel from Beijingnan railway station took twice the expected duration due to road closures for the 80th anniversary Victory Parade and the road closures continued throughout our entire stay at the hotel. It was either extremely difficult or impossible to book a ride from the main entrance of the hotel - when we left the hotel to get to the airport on the last day of our trip, we even had to lug our heavy luggages to another area a few streets away before we could book a ride as the streets near the hotel were all closed off.

Throughout our entire stay at the hotel, it was nothing but unpleasant. The water pressure in the shower was so weak I could quite literally count the number of drops of water dripping down the showerhead and showering felt like a chore. When we informed the staff about the issue with the shower head, he told us to just bear with it since it is an old property. The toilet bowl could not flush properly and was clogged almost every day throughout our stay. Also, the housekeeping staff did not change our bedsheets despite our request even though there was a noticeable stay on one of the bedsheets. The bed itself was rock hard and sleeping on it made my back ache.

I don't usually write reviews unless the place is very good or bad but I will not be recommending this place to anyone

The location of the hotel is perfect . It is close to the subway, restaurants and points of interest. I would have given 5 stars had it not been for the lack of warmth and friendliness of the staff. They do not smile at all nor do they greet the guests as they enter and exit the hotel (which should be a standard). They do provide assistance when requested and I was very satisfied with the assistance provided but a friendly demeanor goes a long way and doesn't cost extra!

Highlight of the hotel:
- Great location, easy to go to the Forbidden City, Tiananmen Square, as well as shopping and dining options at Wang Fu Jing.
- Easy to go to other places in Beijing, whether it's the Summer Palace to the West, Bird's Nest to the north, or other shopping areas to the east.
- Clean, good basic utility such as hot water boiler, tea bags, instant coffee, slippers, USB and USB-c charging stations etc.

Something to look out for:
- Bed is harder than expected, it wasn't a problem for us.
- No conditioner, and shampoo was a little hotel sized tube. If you are keen on good quality hair wash product, best to bring your own or buy it in a nearby grocery stores.

Good Hotel, Fair Location, English Staff Wanting

When I arrived to an attractive lobby the man at the desk spoke good English. Few others did, and this is a gripe I have when hotel/airport/rail people don't speak the number one travel language in the world. The room was large, and as with other Chinese hotels had no CNN or BBC, just CGTN (Chinese News Network). Hotel had a computer on the desk, but as I learned later it wouldn't connect to the Internet, except Chinese URLs. There was a bathtub and plenty of room to put my clothes away. In the bathroom, there was no water from the faucet and I had to call for the hotel plumber, but this should have been checked before arrival. The neighborhood was not downtown, but very near Forbidden City and other local restaurants, banks and shops. Tiananmen Square was quite a long walk, well beyond the closest subway stop, which itself was quite a trek. Not far from the hotel was a very commercial area with attractive pedestrian mall, where I ate a few meals. Oddly, my otherwise helpful desk manager, who pointed me to the right, didn't tell me my first night that to the left were also a lot of restaurants (he just signaled there were some across the street). The other staff spoke very poor English and misdirected me to a laundry service, not there. Another point. I was due again, but no laundromat in hotel nor nearby. I found a store that wanted $1.50/pair of socks. That rivaled hotel prices. Hotels should have coin laundries. And no one knew where one might be.

Great Location, Great Price

The location is fantastic and the price is great. If you’re a diva or someone who is overly concerned with wanting a slick, modern esthetic, then you you might want to look elsewhere, but you won’t find it at this price in this area. It’s an old hotel and it has a bit of a vintage, grandma’s house type vibe. I’m fine with that. The shower worked great and the bed was comfortable and that’s what’s important to me. The amenities are typical of most budget hotel chains, which is also fine with me and all I need. The staff always had an English speaker on duty and they were very patient and helpful. My only complaint is that the bar closes too early, but who cares. You’re in Beijing! Everything you could want is within a few blocks of the hotel. If I ever go back, I don’t see why I would look anywhere else for lodging.
