AC Embassy Hotel

Usually I overlook one issue as everybody makes mistakes. Everything was great at the hotel except for the bathtub. When the bathtub was used my S.O. came out after a few minutes with skin rashes all over her body. I believe this is due to left over cleaning agent or something in the pipes? The shower was fine so I do not believe it was the water. This is the only time anything like this has happened in any hotel stay I have had.

The hotel is in Embassy areas, short walking to underground with light railway linking to the Capital airport. There are various buses to train station and city center. The hotel exhibits paintings and art works in every floors and lobby, even has a museum in the basement. The rooms are newly renovated. Lovely hotel with reasonable price.

Great hotel. Great price. Super clean

Walking distance (10 min) from the end of the Airport Express line. Hotel has lots of interesting artworks and paintings, both in public areas and in the rooms. Rooms are clean, comfortable. Free wifi and complimentary breakfast are great. Some food choices in the immediate surrounding areas.

I have stayed here many times over the past 7 years. They have recently renovated the hotel and now it is much cleaner and comfortable than before. I also like the close vicinity of restaurants, shopping malls etc. withing walking distance. It is one of the best bargains in Beijing.

The hotel is much better than i was expecting having read prevoius reviewers reports. The 4th floor has recently been refurbished to a very high standard. Book an execuvie room for comfort. Wifi is now available in all rooms. Use yahoo as Google is often blocked by the chinese censors. Avoid breakfast. Its very poor. Cold coffee and orange squash instead of real juice!

It was my second time at this hotel. No complaints on the first stay. But this second time not only couldn't shower without floding the entire bathroom but I also had to end showing the concierge my birth control pills to make a point when they tried to charge me for using the condoms offered for purchase at the room.

How to say? The hotel seems special for those who are going to Australian or Canadian Embassy from other city, like me. Location is perfect, right opposite to those embassies. But when comparing with other 4-star hotels, it shows some weakness. The lobby is not well designed. The staff is not very friendly (hard to see smile on their faces). The door of my room doesn't work well sometimes which results that my room card can't open it at all! The aircon seems not working very well either. Even after I switched it to 28C and high, it is still cold in the room. The breakfast is OK, but only served till 10am...If you are going to the embassies and will stay just one night, you can consider about it. But if you are going to sightseeing in BJ, then better forget about it.

Lobby and restaurant cold, food horrible (hOT FOOD and coffee cold), breakfast included for one person only, rooms outdated and substandard, jazzuzi tub inoperable and unclean.
