Beijing Hotel

Only advantage of this hotel is the location, the service is OK like a 3 star hotel. it's very close to subway and business street WANGFUJING street.

From the outside, hotel looks like a huge block of flats built in the 50's. Unlike other hotels in China, the door men do not even acknowledge your presence or offer any greetings. On entry into the lobby, it looks and feels like you have entered some central train station rather than a hotel. The quality of rooms, bathrooms and over all decor is far from 5 star - feels more like 3 star (even curtains too big for the windows and falling off their rails). The hotel is in sore need of a major renovation. Don't be deceived by the official pictures available on the net. On the plus side, the hotel is right next to Wufunjing station and shopping precinct including the old street which is a must see. Also walking distance to the Forbidden City. Some of the staff were helpful and one even tried joking.

A JOKE, do not stay here unless yo ulike old stained rooms, bad restaurant and overall bad experience. Bath Room was stained and old and rusty. Lobby huge but cant wait for anyone and sit down as there is only 2 chairs and 1 couch and lots of people. REstaurant is terrible. 1 espresso and 1 coffee 20.00. ordered ceasar and a cream of tomato soup, soup was cream of water, ceasar was iceburg lettuce with smoked ham and ranch dressing.......just a joke........only thing good is the location

run-down state of room, specially furniture and bathroom. staff are not always available, especially to check out. bad policy on fee for internet connection for a 5 star hotel. too expensive for all the services and room status! positive only the position near forbidden city and shopping street.

The hotel is worngly rated as 5 stars its maximum 3 stars hotel. Dirty rooms , staff doesont know english . rooms are so dirty . baths are so old and dirty and has not mintenance . it is so expenisve . To take any thing from the bar is so exagurated and expensive . You ask for any thing you may may get it after 1 hour . no wi fi at all in the hotel , if you need to use the internt to you have to pay 120 rmb /hour which is so so expenisve . You can find some perons in the lobby asking you if you wanna have aldies!!! which is so strange in any hotel !! and how they allow him to do this !!! I do not recommnd this hotel at all !!!

Breakfast was not included in our room rate, and the hotel restaurant price was crazy high because they knew the surrounding area was mostly hotels with few places to buy breakfast. Since the area is mostly tourist hotels, people on the street try to sell you anything and everything - CONSTANTLY ! The room itself was clean and comfortable, and the location close to Forbidden City, Tianenmen Square, and the subway station, but be wary of "helpful" strangers.

The location is good, but hard to get taxi. The front desk can not reserve taxi for the guests. When I checked in, there is along line waiting for check-in, but a frontdesk lady did not help guest check-in and kept managed some ducuments there.

This hotel has the potential to be a truly magnificient property if it is tastefully refurbished. The plastic flowers in the revolving front door should be discarded.The mild dew in the bathroom is disgusting. Unfortunately, this is a common problem in many 5 star hotels in China!

will use again, says it all

I was looking forward to staying at the Beijing Hotel - and booked a room with view of the Forbidden City. The view was quite good but the hotel not worth the money. I stayed in far better hotels in Beijing for much less. Here you are paying for the view. Staff were not friendly or helpful - seemed more interested in groups.
