TANGFU BOUTIQUE HOTEL（BEIJING SANLITUN GONGTI）

Stayed here twice during transit. This was my first hotel in central Beijing — previously I had stayed near the airport. At first glance, the hotel seems decent. It’s fairly convenient to get there: you can take the train from the old airport and then a couple of stops by metro. From the station exit, you walk past those nostalgic five-story apartment blocks familiar to people from former USSR countries, and then you reach the hotel. The reception is hit or miss. Some staff speak a bit of English, others barely at all. It’s a good idea to have your reservation printed out, including in Chinese. The rooms themselves are generally good, though it’s a bit unusual to have the sink right in the room. There’s tea and coffee provided. The dining area is quite small and located in the basement. Tables aren’t cleared very quickly after guests leave. The selection includes some European-style fast food, juices, porridge, fruits — you can find something to eat. Overall, I’d say the hotel is overpriced for what it offers.

My first solo trip to Beijing and was very satisfied with this hotel. Hotel location was great and easy access to the major attractions, cafes and restaurants by bus and metro...major meeting point offer for day trip is only within walking distance. Hotel offer a good rate with breakfast compare to those nearby and it offered late check out before 12noon. Lastly their reception ladies are super friendly.

Fantastic smart room with comfortable bed. About 400m to subway line 2 & 3. Breakfast change everyday with different varieties. Excellent stay experience and will stay here again in my next Beijing trip.
