    We had a problem because our room was hot. The aircon didn't work. They didn't change our room, they gave us a air cooler and they opened the windows for us, but it was noisy.

    No internet and wi-fi. The hotel needs a bit of refreshment.

    Nice room, though not big. Good bathroom, though a bit strange concept with three separated units of shower, toilette and water for hand washing. Clean. Good location, just across the Beijing Railway Station, very close to metro.

    Nice & modern hotel in not so great location

    Location was not good. When we arrived late that night, our bus dropped us off right outside the railway station which was great but there is absolutely nothing to do around the hotel. There are no restaurants or places to eat or get a snack. And the next morning we had to taxi everywhere and it wasn't walkable location. Also, I know the hotel is non-smoking but I felt our room smelt like smoke.

    We only had a short layover in Beijing and picked this hotel due to price which was great. The lobby and hotel seemed very modern but we were in a room that wasn't renovated. It was still nice enough and very spacious coming from Japan. Bed sheets were heavenly!

    The refrigerators could have been working in the room. We stayed in 2 rooms and none of them worked. The hotel staff informed us that it was normal and you should put your food or drinks on the first floor.

    Good location, in front of Beijing Train and metro stations. The hotel staff are quite helpful. The city center is within walkable range.

    lifts are very slow, front desk should have been upfront regarding the breakfast promotion (promotional price can only be added on day of stay), not very flexible in accommodating booking changes, toilet layout is bad! the wardrobe is transparent and there’s no where to change your clothes without freezing due to the air conditioner, shower area keeps leaking. beware of opening your curtains, it opens directly to the breakfast area so be careful if you’re wearing your pajamas etc :/

    fantastic location, very near all the attractions! room was quite comfortable and spacious. big thanks to hotel staff 赵文博 for helping us with our luggages and being very responsive and attentive. also thanks to the front desk manager that was reliable and helpful.

    The rooms were a little dated, but super clean, so I was completely fine with it.

    It was an interesting location as I couldn’t find the entrance immediately. But the staff were excellent, and despite my broken Chinese they had enough English to help me.

    Wish all the stuff spoke at least a bit of English since a lot of foreign tourists stay there. Some speak perfectly though, some don't speak at all. Also, was surprised there was no wine at all in a hotel bar since it's a high-class international hotel chaine

    The room is nice, cleaned well, everyone is polite

    Staff is not so friendly when asking about transport arrangement or advice of tours. But there is one lady very helpful helping us to print an urgent documents.

    Very clean, good location and comfy bed. Room allocated is very far from the lift. The last one when yo turn left from the lift, and the also the last one when turn right from the lift.

    Could hear quite a lot of noise from the corridor and adjoining rooms, and the WiFi was not great.

    Very comfortable room in an excellent location. Reasonably priced. Beds were comfy and big (stayed in a twin room). Shower was strong and good temperature control.
