I had a faulty cupboard door which wasn't a problem for me as I didn't use it. What was the problem was the repairmen entered my room without the hotel noticing me. I happened to return to my room in the middle of the day and saw them in the midst of repairing the door. My laptop and stuff were left on the table as I did not expect anyone to enter my room, it's a good thing nothing was lost.There wasn't any safe in the room to begin with. Wifi didn't work as well, I had to pull the ethernet cable from the router to directly connect to my laptop.
El hotel es decepcionante. Hay un olor intenso a humedad. Las alfombras de los pasillos y de las habitaciones estĂĄn manchadas y se aprecia que no se aspiran con frecuencia. En nuestra habitaciĂłn debimos solicitar que aspiraran porque no lo hacĂan. Encontramos en las esquinas del baño y de la habitaciĂłn con polvo o tierra. Tambien nos encontramos con una cucaracha. El techo del baño estaba con moho.
For Beijing I decided to book a hotel for a higher price as I expected at least one person is able to speak english however i was wrong...luckily i was with a chinese friend of mine who checked me in which was actually not the problem. When i wanted to get directions (in english or at least with the chinese app) the receptionists just starred at me and expected me to reply in english. the room was okay however there is a window but no daylight at all so it seems its always in the middle f the night no matter if you wake up or go to sleep.
You cannot expect this kind of 4-star (locally-run) hotels in Beijing to be identical to the 4-star international brand hotels. Staff are polite and respect customers. You may not be treated as a customer if some cheap hotels.
För priset Àr hotellet okej men det finns inte mycket att göra i nÀrheten. TyvÀrr ligger hotellet nÄgot avlÀgset om man vill anvÀnda offentlig transport. Det tar ca 15-20 minuter att gÄ till tunnelbanan men det gÄr bussar alldeles i nÀrheten. Dock avrÄder jag frÄn att ta bussen i Beijing, speciellt under sommarmÄnaderna. Hotellet Àr ganska slitet och det Àr lyhört men sÀngen var bekvÀm. Servicen var över förvÀntan och all personal som jag trÀffade under de sju dagar jag bodde pÄ hotellet var vÀnliga och hjÀlpsamma. Det verkar alltid finnas en personal som kan engelska men denne befinner sig inte alltid i receptionen sÄ man kan fÄ vÀnta en stund om man behöver hjÀlp och inte kan mandarin. För övrigt finns det mÄnga billiga restauranger i omrÄdet dÄ det ligger ett antal universitet just i den hÀr delen av staden.
We stayed in this hotel for 9 nights. The hotel was clean and tidy with an ample size room.
We were disappointed that our room had no window to the outside world, so it was difficult to tell if it was morning, noon or night or what the weather conditions were like outside to prepare suitable clothing.
The hotel was a little noisy on a Saturday evening but that's to be expected and on occasions there was a smell of smoke again this was more noticeable during the weekend.
There was limited English at the hotel and we found this difficult to book taxis or to get information, also the onsite restaurant has no English nor English menus.
The surrounding area also had no English. The area itself is just ok, although taxis to and from the tourist sites and main streets were low priced in and around ÂŁ4-ÂŁ7 GBP.
Some upgradings needed for the room as the fixtures are relatively old. Walk to the nearest Dazhongsi subway line #13 is about 20 mins. Need to change 2 subway lines to go to Tiannamen square (line #1) and journey is about 30 mins in total. Nothing much in the neighbourhood. Good service if you speak chinese I guess. Travel time to Peking International Airport is about an hour.
