Excellent option from a tourist’s perspective. The hotel is located right in the city center, next to Tiananmen Square and the Forbidden City. The building is beautiful, the rooms are clean and spacious, and the breakfasts are very good. Special thanks to Ksenia at the reception, who kindly explained where it is most convenient to exchange money and also recommended places worth visiting besides Tiananmen Square and the Forbidden City.

Excellent hotel, and with staff who will try their very best to make sure your needs are met. The breakfast buffet was also excellent, offering possibilities for every preference. The location of the hotel is also very convenient, with easy access to sights such as Tiananmen square and the Forbidden City. Further, the hotel was located in a short walking distance from good shopping areas and many restaurants. We will be happy to return to this hotel also in the future.

The hotel was clearly built a high standard but not maintained as such. The room stank of cigarettes, they offered a deep clean but it didn’t make a difference. Poor paint and decor in the room. Staff were friendly and the food was good.
