Beijing New Century Hotel

I was traveling solo with a group tour of 20 people. This was our first hotel we stayed at when we arrived in Beijing. I highly recommend to download a Translator App, it comes in very useful! We arrived late at night and our tour guide Frank took care of all our registration needs, since we were in a group and none of us spoke any Mandarin it was easier and faster for him to do it. The hotel must be use to handling large groups as we received our room keys promptly. They do make copies of passports but give you the passport back right away with your room key. This is a very nice hotel. Rooms are nice and big and I had no complaints as the room was very clean and the bed was so comfortable. They do give two bottles of bottled water every day, that was a plus for me since we are told not to drink the tap water. The rooms have a coffee pot and a mini fridge and a safe for valuables. I learned that all if not most hotels in Beijing have an emergency fire pack to use in case of a fire and a flash light. They also provide a shampoo and conditioner as well as lotion and a tooth brush with toothpaste and a nice comb. This hotel has several restaurants a breakfast buffet which was amazing!!! Combination of American, Chinese and Japanese foods. This hotel has a money exchange machine to change US dollars or currency from other countries right near the registration lobby. If you need an ATM there's one near by just going up to the second floor thru their little convention halls down the other side on the other set of escalators. This hotel is located in a great area near many things also as the Metro is a couple blocks away, walking distance. We don't speak or read Mandarin but the signs are very easy to read and we took the Metro to the Summer Palace. There's a few restaurants across the bridge from the hotel and a big supermarket with so many things to see and buy. There's a Kentucky Fried Chicken as well as a Pizza Hut that serves a lot more then just pizzas if eating in the restaurant gets old (this is just an expression the food is not old) or expensive. They also do have a nice swimming pool. They have plenty of elevators so the wait for one is never more then a few minutes. This hotel was very nice and clean, we all loved it! Also every room also has a weight scale, not sure why but its there if needed.

We stayed in this hotel for three nights (8-10 May) as part of a tour of China organised through Saga. Our room was comfortable and more than adequate for our needs in terms of space and storage - the free wi-fi was fast enough for light browsing and emails - and we slept very well. We received two complimentary bottles of water each day and there were a range of hot beverages. Toiletries/ towels were provided in the en-suite. We had one dinner and all our breakfasts in the restaurant here and we found the choice and quality of the food and the service to be very good. The hotel was well placed for our tour venues. All the staff we met during our stay here were friendly and helpful and - despite this only being a short visit - we enjoyed our time here.

インターネットが利用可能、と紹介されているけれど、実際には現地での携帯電話によるナンバー登録が必要とのことで、通常の旅行客はインターネットが使えません。詐欺とまでは言いませんが、ひどく騙された気分になりました。

It’s a terrible hotel. The tap was blocked and it was impossible to take a shower. How could they let customers check in to a room like that. It’s overpriced for the old and not well-maintained facilities. The nearby area is dark and not many shops.

Stayed at this hotel for 3 nights. Hotel has a beautiful and spacious lobby. Rooms were average size, modern, and clean. What stood out for me was the excellent buffet breakfast that contained both Western and Chinese dishes. It is walking distance from the zoo to see pandas and about 1/3 mile from the Baishiqiao South Subway Station and the Erligou Subway Station. The hotel has 2 restaurants, an indoor pool, a fitness center, and free WiFi in public areas. Rooms have bathrobes and slippers, TV, minibars, and coffee makers.

滞在した際、1Fのカフェを利用しました。夜遅くの利用でしたがラストオーダー後もゆっくり過ごさせていただきました。朝食ブッフェもすごく料理の種類が多く美味しかったです。

Our tour group was advised of an amended accommodation when we arrived in Beijing. The tour guide had no idea we had a different expectation of our home for next 4 nights. Check in went smoothly and the room is adequate, not the 5 star advised by the tour guide. It’s clean and has enough space for overnight while we see all of the highlights. The location is not as central as preferred, we have made the best by shopping at the nearby neighbourhood options. After 4 nights here I must say that the location is fabulous, the on-site buffet for breakfast and dinner is extensive, great value and quality food. The buffet dinner includes local beer which is also great if you enjoy a few cold ones. We are very glad that we ended up here instead of the original booking!

今回の滞在は、短かったので、まあまあです。 ホテルから飛行場までのリムジンバスはなかったのが残念です。それで北京空港からホテルまでタクシーで行こうと思って、タクシー乗り場で、ホテルまで３１０元要求されました。それは高すぎるので、バスで途中のバス停まで行って、そこからタクシーで行きました。合計４３元。翌日はタクシーで空港まで行きましたが、それでも１００元でした。北京空港のタクシー乗り場の高額な請求には憤りを感じました。３倍も高いですから、ぼったくりですね。改善をすべきと思います。適切な監督機関に要求をお願いします。中国玄関口北京のイメージが悪くなるので。

前日は、天津の日航飯店に宿泊したこともあり、同じ日航ホテルとして差を感じました。天津のホテルは、日本人スタッフの方がフロントにいて、とても丁寧に対応していただけました。そのつもりで、チェックインしましたが、日本人スタッフの方はいらしゃいませんでした。客室は、建物自体が古かったので、電源不足など多少不便さを感じました。トイレも、天津のようにウォシュレットではありませんでした。全体としては、いいホテルと思いますが、施設・設備の近代化を進めていただくとありがたいです。
