XinHai JinJiang Hotel Wangfujing

friendly service, room is wonderful and very very clean it was a pleasure to stay at this hotel

The staff spoke English fairly well and were very helpful and professional. The room was big, well decorated, and had all the amenities you could ever need. The beds were on the firm side but comfortable and clean. The hotel is in the business district, we felt safe but there is no night-life around, but a short walk to the main shopping area. Lots of local restaurants around.

FINE EXPERIENCE,,,,,,HAVE BEEN TO CHINA MANY TIMES, ALWAYS STAYING AT DIFFERENT HOTELS, THIS WAS ONE OF THE BEST.

Hotel lost our booking and had to endure a 3 hour wait to check-in. Extended our stay for 1 extra night. Management did not get their act together and locked us out on the last night. Luckily the hotel service ground staff were very personable and attentive to our needs. They had alot of initiative and would often suggest alternatives for us. The hotel management would do well to learn from the staff under them.

I stayed here twice on separate occasions and had a wonderful experience both times. It's a new property, so everything runs smoothly. I tried the Capital Hotel and checked out after one night...doesn't even come close. The breakfast buffet is exceptional(both Western and Eastern fare with two chefs). The staff is courteous and helpful. The street would be comparable to a high-end type area like Rodeo Drive (I'm from LA) but not stuffy at all. It's a 15 min walk to Wangfujing shopping district and close enough to many of the main attractions. It was great heading down to steam room after a long day of sightseeing. The lobby lounge is great for people watching, too.

The hotel was very modern and nice but didnt have airconditioning working. When asked they informed me that it wasnt working in any room. Then during the day they turned it on and switched it off at night. I found it very annoying. The food leaves much to be desired. Cream of mushroom soup was a bowl full of cream with some mushrooms in it. The staff try to speak to english but it is very poor.

I don't know if it's just this hotel or all Beijing hotels that do not switch on room airconditioning until April. It's stuffy and hot and the room window is small. Totally uncomfortable. Street noise also prevents a good night's sleep.

Only one spot in the lobby where you can get wi-fi. And still very slow. I stood at that spot every night to check on my e-mails. Even though they have provided a cable connection in you room, but I think a good Wi-Fi is a minimum nowadays in any hotel.

This Chinese-owned hotel is a great alternative to staying at overpriced Western hotels. Great service, nice amenities and large rooms. Conveniently located two blocks from the subway and taxis are readily available. For non-Mandarin speakers, the staff does a fairly good job with English as long as you have a bit of patience. Even the bellmen, could speak with us and convey info to the cab drivers. Two items of caution. The carpets can seem a bit tracked up, but I did see the cleaning staff vacuuming. Also, the beds are very hard which didn't bother us as we have a firm bed at home. These two issues seem to be commonly mentioned with Beijing hotels. The bathrooms are very clean.

There is not bowling and billiard. At the hotel web, this exists. Very unpleasant reception staff. Even you pay 100% in advance; they will ask you for 1000RMB per day of staying for deposit.
