The room was great, and I stayed there for five days overall, had a pretty good experience. The hotel is really close to Metro Line 17, which is convenient. Just keep in mind that this line stops running at 11 pm, with the last train around 10:20 pm. If you miss this timing, it’s a good idea to book a cab to get back from start.
The location is quite central. Getting to spots like Tiananmen Square takes about 40-50 minutes because of the line changes, but it’s only around 6-7 stations from the hotel.
One thing to note about the room. I wasn’t told that the centralized air conditioning would be off. When I asked, they explained that all hotels rated 4 stars and above turn off the central AC from March to mid-April. I’m not sure if that’s accurate since it was my first time in Beijing, but that’s what they said. If it feels too warm, you can crack open the small side window or ask for a fan.
It wasn’t really an issue for me since the weather was around 4°C during my stay, so it was cool enough without opening the window.
I didn’t try the hotel breakfast, so I can’t comment on that. The front desk staff were polite and helpful, though. Overall, I had a great stay, just double-check the AC situation before you book if that’s important to you. Hope this helps!
