Beijing Hotel

Choosing Beijing Hotel for my trip to Beijing this time was totally worth it. The room was kept spotlessly clean, making it a very comfortable stay. The staff, especially Xiao Xu, were wonderful—whenever we had questions, they patiently helped us out. The location is also very convenient for getting around, making it a breeze to visit all the local attractions.

The room was quite dated, giving off a dark and decrepit vibe throughout. It had beat-up light switches, an AC with broken temperature controls, and both the bathtub and sink drained extremely slowly. For the same price, you could easily stay at a sleek, modern, and fully automated luxury hotel instead. During the National Day holiday, road closures around Tiananmen Square caused all kinds of inconveniences—the main entrance was blocked off, forcing us to take a massive detour just to reach the hotel. I definitely won't be staying here again! The only silver lining was its proximity to Tiananmen Square, but the overwhelming holiday crowds completely wiped that advantage out!

The room environment was comfortable. It's a shame that during the National Day holiday, we couldn't get a room facing Chang'an Avenue. The cleaning lady was very warm and meticulous, ensuring our room was perfectly clean and satisfactory every day. 👍

The family room is perfect for those traveling with parents and children, offering individual spaces while still allowing for timely assistance. Although the facilities are a bit old, the hygiene is impeccable and the soundproofing is good. With the added bonus of its excellent location and historical significance, choosing Beijing Hotel for this trip was an excellent decision. The ladies at the front desk were all incredibly enthusiastic and responded promptly to all feedback and suggestions. A truly great experience.

The room was really spacious, facing Chang'an Avenue directly. However, it felt a bit old and had a slight smell, but the cleanliness was good. The subway station is right at the entrance, and Wangfujing is just across a traffic light.

Firstly, for those with high expectations regarding facilities and environment, this hotel is a no-go. Secondly, if you're from Shanghai, stay away. Out of the 1200 yuan room fee, 800 yuan is for historical sentiment. History: 100 points. Front-line staff personal attitude: 90 points (10 points deducted for the male supervisor at the Chinese Etiquette Hall). The staff were all very polite. Team coordination: 0 points. Various small incidents revealed chaotic team management. Management should seriously review this. Restaurant reservations were a mess. I had a reservation for 12:30 PM, and specifically arrived at 12:30 PM, only to be told there'd be at least an hour's wait. What's the point of a reservation then? The response was that a reservation only gives you eligibility to eat, you still have to queue. Okay. What time does dinner start? 5:30 PM. Alright, please book me for dinner... Arrived at the restaurant at 5:28 PM, the male supervisor asked for my room number, checked, and said there was no reservation, and that I couldn't eat tonight. Finally, the hostess found us the last available shared table 🙃🙃🙃. If you're a tourist, definitely don't choose the package that includes the Chinese Etiquette Hall meal (it's a wasted opportunity to experience good Beijing cuisine, it's genuinely not tasty). There was also a small incident: at our table, some bird's nest soup was savory and some was sweet. The restaurant explained that the savory one was out of stock, so they served sweet instead. Beijingers, feel free to comment on savory bird's nest soup. Back in the room, my particular room, though old, was reasonably well-maintained. Here's another incident: the room had a strong "curry smell." All the clothes I wore that day had to be thrown out. Maybe I'm sensitive to smells, but housekeeping said a foreign guest stayed there a few days ago 🙃🙃🙃. Also, my north-facing room had a view of the Forbidden City complex, but it was directly facing the noisy outdoor air conditioning units of Wangfujing Mall, which were rumbling loudly. History is priceless. I originally booked two nights, but was dissuaded from staying the second night. One more thing: Didi (ride-sharing app) has trouble locating this hotel, which is inconvenient. Every time I had to set the destination to the adjacent hotel and walk back. Enjoy Beijing Flavor · Two Adults and One Child Dinner (1 child under 12 years old): Please stop offering such packages, they really detract from the experience.

Do NOT stay at this Beijing hotel. It's horrible, smells bad, and is super creepy. Honestly, it's unlivable. The carpets reek, and there's absolutely no value for money. There's a great budget hotel right next door. This place is just too old.

Great location, close to Tiananmen Square and Wangfujing, with a subway station right downstairs. The service was attentive, and the staff were very friendly. The hotel has a rich history, definitely worth experiencing if you're visiting Beijing.

Staying at the Beijing Hotel evoked a sense of nostalgia, and the experience was truly excellent. Facilities: Although a bit old, they are well-maintained and fully functional. I specifically booked the 'First Banquet of the Founding of the PRC' at the Chinese Courtesy Hall on the second floor, and had the most delicious braised pork ball (shizitou). Cleanliness: Excellent Environment: Excellent Service: Excellent
