Beijing Hotel

The hotel is very convenient (walking distance)to Tianamen Square, the Forbidden City and shopping. The hotel itself is old but relatively well kept.They were doing noisy, messy repairs to the plumbing and yet still rented out the rooms nearest to the noise. I woke up to these repairs on Sunday morning![...]

the hotel was in a good location. i had access to a mall, Starbucks, forbidden city, and many other sightseeings.

All elevators stink, probably from the carpets in the elevators; the room was bare, old, and look like a cheapest motel, quite embarrassing as I invited some relatives over. The bathroom was also very old and unpleasant. The stain on the toilet cover can't even be removed after I tried to scrub it. What an experience. Please stay away, there are many other hotels to choose from. This one does not live up to its name, star rating and location...

The rooms are old and need to be upgraded badly. Also, the AC did not work upon check-in and had to be worked on for an hour. In general the hotel is in bad need of renovation

Tea and coffee service inside the room not satisfactory, you have to call everyday to bring free tea,milk, coffee and suger. Carpet in the gallary was smelly The good thing ABOUT THE HOTEL WAS ITS LOCATION

This 4+ Star hotel right in the center of everything compared favorably to a nearby 'Hyatt Grand' hotel at around 1/3rd the cost. Nothing to fault and really large rooms. Would have liked it better if Beijing handled their smog issue, but just get used to it and wear a mask on the street.

The Beijing Hotel is wonderful. The room was clean and convenient. There was inexpensive internet service in the room and easy transport to the airport. I was able to visit all the bookstores in the area on foot or by subway. The price was great for a five star hotel in central Beijing. Amazingly convenient!!

Fabulous location, easy walk to Forbidden City. Our morning Starbucks available at the mall across the street. Fabulous Beijing duck dinner just down the street. Enjoyed the pool, didn't eat at the hotel ..beyond our budget. The hotel was totally renovated 2002, so the old ambiance of 1989 was gone. We'd stay there again.

Not really a five star hotel, but it is a good accommodation in this huge and interesting city. The room we have been checked in was in the far corner of the hotel and not with the view or interior which would be expected in the five star hotels. I got impression that not that attractive rooms are allocated for people who book over internet. But above everything the location was perfect. I would stay in this hotel again.

Beijing Hotel is the oldest and most famous hotel in Beijng. The location was great-short walk to Forbidden City and Tiananmen Square. The subway stop was in front of the hotel and very easy to get around the city. The famous Wangfujing Shopping street was parallel to the hotel. The hotel staff spoke English. The hotel was clean and the lobby looked new. The drawback was that the rooms were tired and the carpet needed to be changed. Breakfast was very expensive, but the food was good. If you wanted to book a tour or show the hotel was expensive and I had found a tour company in Beijing that had great prices. The price of the hotel, if booked through the hotel, is over priced for what you get, but you are paying for location.I received a great deal through Orbitz.
