Beijing Continental Grand Hotel

This hotel is located a stone's throw from the Bird's Nest national stadium and olympic park, and is attached to the Beijing International Convention Centre. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The room was spacious with a nice bed, cable TV with some English channels, WiFi was free and ok. The bathroom was fine, although they appear very guarded with their spare toilet paper! Breakfast was very good with a huge buffet selection of European continental style foods, Chinese hot buffet and hot eggs, bacon etc. I would recommend this hotel overall.

This is a very nice hotel. I came for business. The room has good desk space. It is easy to get a taxi. The hotel staff was very good at explaining directions to the taxi driver--this was necessary even though I brought a map in Chinese. It's not particularly close to the subway, but I didn't try. The food is good, but the restaurant is quite expensive. There are not a lot of choices nearby, although I found a food court, burger king, and a couple of coffee shops. The hotel is connected to the Beijing Convention Center. My only complaint about the room is that the lighting was a little insufficient at night. Otherwise, very comfortable.

Overall, we stayed confortably during our 5 nights stay. Room was clean enough and there necessary amenities. But it seemed bit old. Bath tub and sink drain was slow. Staff were helpful but only we requested. Restaurants were very costy. There are small food court and some restaurants nearby. I felt bit over priced. If it's 20% cheaper, I would stay there again.

Nice place to stay with large rooms. Food was OK. There was a Starbucks and Chinese food court around the corner.

The only good thing about this hotel is its close proximity to the BICC. I had hard time communicating with the staff since most of them didn't speak English, I smelled cigarette smoke constantly in my room, and the hotel seemed overall very disorganized. I'll never return to this hotel.

Good location. Lots of choices for foods in its area. Lots of buses to many directions. Pretty lobby, the only disadvantage is the non-smoking room has smoking smell.

none

need to improve the privacy for guests. the room and the hallway have some bad smell

I would have given a much better rating if it were not for the air. I am talking about the INSIDE air. I had a non-smoking room. Somehow it seems that the inside air is drawn from somewhere where people smoke and is otherwise awful! I should have ask for a different room; maybe they have something better. Other than that, the hotel seems well maintained and clean. I liked the location. It was easy to get from and back to the airport. You can walk to the olympic venues, but there is not much to see or do there. It is a long but manageable walk to the subway, which is easy to use, even for a non-chinese-speaking person like me.

reasonably okay
