Hotel staff friendly. No proper lobby. Room is big and clean. They supply towels, toileteries and bathrobes. All rooms in 9,10, 11th floor. Free Beijing map available in the room. But the map is not not uptodate. But might be facing other highrise buildings with no good view. Beds are comfortable. Wireless internet. Very big old TV in the room. You […] get a headache after watching it. TV in the sitting area is ok. Only English TV channel available is CNN. There's a French Channel Monde. Lots of Chinese channels. One Chinese movie channel got old English movies during night time. Room was cold. No heaters or air conditioning in the room. Central Heater has been switched off. Unlike other apartment hotels, no free drinking water, black tea or coffee available. Only Ju Hua flower tea available. Mini Bar expensive.There's a fridge, microwave and washing machine. Unlike the apartment hotel we stayed in Shanghai which was much cheaper and in good condition than this one, there's no washing powder, pots/pans, kinves in this hotel. two plates and spoons and forks available. Gas oven not working. Shower head not working properly, so difficult to get a good shower. Ther's a bath tub but not very deep. OK if you are very slim. Hotel staff will not find a taxi for you. Very difficult to get Taxi to the airport as there are a lot of illegal non Taxi vehicles with brokers claiming high fees controlling around the area. Near to shopping areas, Mc donalds, KFC. Convenient to Xidan and Hu tong subway, aound 8 to10 minutes. Direct line to Tian A men and Summer palace. Need to change subway if you want to go to Airpiort, Olympic Park or Beijing North railway station to Great wall. Have to walk long distances inside the subway if need to change subway line.

Spent 5 nights here in December 2011. It was great for our needs (two families travelling together). We booked 1 x 1 bedroom suite and 1 x 2 bedroom suite but actually were given 1 x 2 bedroom and 1 x larger 2 bedroom (with 2 bathrooms). This hotel is not really set up for foreign visitors, more for business people from elsewhere in China. There was […] one English-speaker on reception during the day, but communication was more difficult at night. Lots of drawing and pointing required! Example: Communal laundry was handy but I had to take photo on my phone of slots on washer and dryer so that staff knew I needed to purchase laundry tokens! Staff were however friendly and always tried to help. Staff were able to write out addresses in Chinese for taxi drivers. Complimentary wired and wireless Internet were available in each room. Good signal and reliable (apart from the "Great Firewall of China" restricts access to some sites of course). The kitchen was stocked with a minimum of plates, cutlery etc although I believe it may have been possible to borrow more from housekeeping. Staff got us a taxi to take us to Wal-Mart to get western and Asian foods and other items. The neighbourhood was very commercial. The hotel is in the same complex as a department store with an upmarket mall across the street (Joy City Mall) and a more basic mall just behind the hotel. The neighbourhood had enough western fast food choices to keep tired Canadian kids happy. However, we were clearly the only western visitors in the area (we travelled in December). The hotel was only 300-400m from the nearest subway, which gave us easy access to Tiananmen, Beijing Zoo etc. The only downsides were: - Lack of English speakers on the night shift (a bit of a problem when I plugged in a western electrical adaptor at 2am and blew every fuse in the room)! - Kitchen was understocked with utensils etc for a family of 4 - Swimming pool looked fine but was very cold (in December). Should have guessed it wa Przeczytaj więcej

I stayed at this apartment hotel for more than a month and have no complaints. It seems like this hotel is from the 90s but they are renovating. They brought in a new flat screen TV and put down new carpets in the halls while I was there. They also gave me a free upgrade to an apartment that had 2 rooms, 2 bathrooms, washing machine, and city view. […] If you take the elevator to the 8th floor there is an arcade and food court that is hard to beat on value, and I think would be a great place to take restless kids. The gym was small but had all I needed, and was mostly empty. There is only a fee for ping pong and billiards, the rest is free. McDonalds is just outside the building down some steps. The smell of McDonalds was often in the elevators. ;) Pick up some Chinese, though some of the staff speaks English and you could also mostly get by with the rest. One hitch was that to turn the cooking gas on the stoves on it would cost 100RMB (~$17 USD) a day extra, so I made do with the microwave, and also a friend brought a hot plate. You could probably buy a hot plate for ~$200 RMB in the 1st-3rd floors of the building which is one big mall. Watson Pharmacy is also on the 3rd floor and has all you could need. Basically, I would stay at this place again. The location in terms of neighborhood and subway is great, and the fact that it is also in a mall with shopping and food court right there is also great. It is a value hard to beat. Przeczytaj więcej

First you can't beat the price. You get a two bedroom suite with a full kitchen for a rate less than most moderately priced hotels. The location is convienent to shopping, the subway and pretty much anything else you might be looking for. Though most of the staff does not speak english they were still very helpful and made us feel very comfortable. […] Not many frills but clean and plenty of room. Przeczytaj więcej

This is a corporate (Huawei phone corporation) apartment building that appears to mainly cater to it's own corporate employees. So when a couple of Americans walked in claiming to have a reservation caused a flurry of confusion and activity only to be told we had no reservation. Fortunately there was printer nearby that allowed us to show we had reserved […] and paid. A great location, very nice small apartment at a good price but a desperate level of service as no one at the front desk speaks English. The place is hard to find as the location on the map is slightly off. It is directly across from Joy City Shopping Center- it is as simple as that. Przeczytaj więcej

The hotel location is great and the best part is availability of food joints 24 hours and also the proximity to some shopping areas. Tianmmen square and forbidden city is a 20 min walk from the hotel. It could be better maintained for sure and they would benefit if they have more English speaking staff there.

This hotel does not provide coffee/coffee maker in the rooms for coffee drinkers. There is a washer in the bathroom, but no no small travel-sized detergent package provided. If needed, you have to buy detergent in undergroud Xidan shopping center. A lot of taxi drivers are reluctant to take customer to this hotel area because of the traffic.

The hotel is excellently located for the airport shuttle bus and the subway. The living space is enormous for the price and the staff are courteous and polite. Food and transport are cheap but bring your own laptop if you want internet access. You won't find an internet cafe and the price in the hotel is high. Staff don't speak very good English except […] for one young fellow who was very helpful. I would certainly recommend this hotel. Przeczytaj więcej

This was a perfect and cost-effective place to stay with my family of five (with use of a rollaway bed). We enjoyed plenty of space with the 2 bedroom business suite which included two bathrooms. The streets were extremely busy, but the hotel was quiet and offered a great night of sleep (no complaints of street noise as some have noted). There are only […] 3 plates and glasses in the kitchen and no cooking utensils, so the kitchen is mainly useful for the refrigerator and microwave. Location is excellent as many attractions are within walking distance if you are willing to get some needed exercise. Great value for the money and I would definitely stay here again.

Расположение прекрасное, номера большие, просторные но не очень чистые, персонал вообще ни какой, самое прекрасное это расположение, я и взял этот отель из за близости к магазинам и достопримечательностям.

Le petit déjeuner, peu varié si on ne souhaite pas manger dès le matin des plats chinois en sauce, est le petit hic de cet hôtel.

Huoneisto oli juuri sellainen jota olin toivonutkin. Pieniolohuone sohvaryhmineen ja TV. Ruokapöytä joss akaksi tuolia, pienoiskeittiö tiskillä erotettuna. Makuuhuoneessa vaatekaapit ja parivuode (140cm) yöpöydät. työ/peilipöytä ja ADSL kaapeli. Kylpyhuoneessa matala amme. Tilava parveke sisàpihalle. Hotelli 9-11. kerroksissa ja sisàpiha 9.krs:n tasalla. […] Oikein rauhallista. Asuin 8 vuorokautta. Ympäristössä isoja ostoskeskuksia ja lyhyt matka keskustaan. 500m 1-linjan subwayhin, jolla helppoliikkua kaupungissa. Mukavia kävelyreittejà TianMen aukion làhistöllä ja kielletyssäkaupungissa ympäristöineen. Pekingin puistot ovat kauniita. Huoneisto siivottiin päivittäin, lakanat ja pyyhkeet vaihdettiin usein. Siivous oli hyvin pinnallista joten pinttynyttä likaa kaikkialla. Keittiössä vain muutama lautanen ja kuppi/lasi. Ei mitäàn keittotarvikkeita, kulhoja, veitsiä, pöytàrättiä, tiskipesutarvikkeita jne. Siis ostettava valmisruokaa kotiin (tai kaikki työkalut). Ostin tiskiainetta ja rättejä että sain vähän siivottua tahmoja tasoilta ja ovista, pölyt pyyhittyä jne. Langaton nettiyhteys erittàin heikko, kaapeliyhteys katkeili jatkuvasti ja oli ajoittain erittäin heikko (esim skype puhelut eivàt aina onnistuneet.). Alakerran uima-altaassa oli mukava pulahtaa, suihkussa kävin omassa asunnossa. Allas tilava uimiseen ja olin aina ainoa asiakas. Przeczytaj więcej
