Beijing Pudi Hotel (former Beijing Marriott City Wall)

Great room and hotel, expected nothing less. After a long day exploring beijing its good to come back to a room like this one. If the concierge spoke some english, would have been 5 star instead. Ps.the hotel does exchange foreign currency but via a seperate machine. I found that the rates are not that great.

Though it is rated 5-star, experience is far from 5-star. The hotel is part of a building complex with office space and shops/restaurants at the ground level. The check in area feels like a motel, and overall feeling is that it lacks the vibe and comfort to be called 5-star. It doesn’t have its own restaurants or bar, swimming pool and gym are poorly maintained that you don’t want to spend time there. The room is spacious, otherwise nothing exceptional to write about it. The glass top of the desk can be tipped over easily and the chair is so uncomfortable that I tried not to sit on it.

The high ratings on this hotel are clearly part of previous ownership. I do many staycations in Beijing as I live on the outskirts. There are many hotels with standard rooms at better prices with more luxurious accommodations than the executive room I booked at this hotel. The room itself was quite dated and there were none of the perks that you get in most executive rooms at hotels in Beijing. Usually an executive room is quite luxurious and comes with access to a lounge with free happy hour. In fact the lounge often has food throughout the day so you would not even need to buy any other meals. This hotel did not have lounge facilities. There was construction going on too so all I could hear was drilling. Luckily I was able to move rooms after pleading with the man on front desk. In addition the breakfast area was attached to the gym which made for a very odd experience for both diners and those working out. The breakfast was awful. Again lots of hotels in Beijing provide beautiful breakfasts. Do not stay here. If the executive rooms are this mundane, the standard rooms must be deplorable. Worst hotel experience I have yet to have.

Great location, soft comfy bed, clean, well stocked. The staff was really helpful too. Please remember that English is not their first language and speak slowly, use hand gestures. Don't expect perfect English in China! The breakfast buffet had a little of everything and it was fine if a little pricey, but for my last morning there it was convenient.

I appreciated the high floor (per request) and the cleanliness of my room as well as hotel. I was surprised that I was asked to wait 40 min for a room when I came to check in at 4:30pm! But I got an adequate room in about 10 min, overlooking the Ming Wall. Breakfast buffet was great. They gym was good. I very much appreciated the staff allowing me to use the gym after check out and before my evening train departure. It is close to the Beijing Railway Station, but don't expect a taxi to take you! I did not appreciate being charged 80 Yuan for a taxi ride to meet a friend; On return the same ride cost 20 Yuan! Hotel is walking distance to the Museum of Women and Children, which is great.

Near Beijing railway station and airport shutle bus 5 minutes walk

Stayed here several times before when it was Marriott owned and operated. It’s gone down hill and lost a lot in the transition of management. No western breakfast options so if that’s important to you skip the Pudi. The property is also undergoing renovations

Great Hotel, you get a lot for the price. The gym and pool are very nice. As a younger though I skipped the breakfast which was pretty expensive.

Good hotel just limited to food choices

Breakfast service did not meet expectation- service is too slow and could be a lot better.
