Beijing Hotel Nuo Forbidden City

I chose this property mainly because of its historical and nostalgic ambience where early Chinese leaders had stayed or met foreign leaders. Despite the public areas of the hotel being well kept, the guest room looked tired with peeled wallpaper, chipped furniture, only rain shower and bath but not any hand-held shower. The room requires complete renovation to provide a comfortable stay experience. The reception is terrible. We had prepaid our rooms which was confirmed at the time of check in, but when we checked out early in the morning at 5.30 am to catch our flight, the reception staff claimed that he could not confirm our prepayment with their Accounts Department at such early time and we were charged again. I wonder why our prepayment had not already been recorded in their system in the first place. This incident of double payment did not happen in the other four hotels we had prepaid for our entire China trip. All in all, it was an unpleasant stay given the price we paid at AUD284 per night. My experience in the hotel destroyed my fond perception of this historical and nostagic property.

We stayed in the historical wing of the hotel and it was a very large and comfortable room (although very warm!), and the hotel is as close to the forbidden city as you can get (and has a metro station very close as well). The staff were friendly and the breakfast had plenty of options as well

It is v near to shoppong disyruct of wangfujin. It's like 5 mins walk to wangfujin train station. The hotle has two wings- the older wing faces the back alleyway. Rooms are bigger. Was told that the newer wing that faces changan street and rooms were renovated bwfore Covid-19. The rooms are smaller/ standard but probably might be newer. On the website yhe hotel premise looks huge and sprawling but I hardly see cored around. May not be a bad thing though. Oh yes, hotel wifi somehow is not secure and doesn't seem to work. Most tomes we had to switch ot off and used our data plan instead.

nice all round

I added breakfast with 120 RMB when I checked in , when I get the food ready the second morning, I was told I do not have breakfast . I support to pay $186/ night when I booked online , but at the end I was charged 3463

Beijing Nuo is a great hotel, location-wise. At walking distance from the amazing Wangfujing street and Tiananmen Square, delicious breakfast buffet, and an extremely helpful staff. I definitely would recommend the Nuo.

Requested for non smoking but to the contrary, whole room filled with smoke smell All basin and toilet bowl, choked Slow cleaning, late checked in Old hotel, not worth price Front desk staff friendly but not helpful Location is ok, walking distance to metro & wangfujing

Pretty disappointed I would say, would say it’s a low 4 stars hotel. In room facility is running down staff has been trained as state owned hotel staff not international 5 stars won’t come again

Convenient and easy accessable to the train station. Wang Fu Jing is just beside the hotel. Great location.

Very nice English speaking staff, good dining options and very close to the major attractions Tianaman square and forbidden city. Very spacious and comfortable and clean rooms.
