We took our 4 kids to Beijing for 10 days & stayed at the Ariva. We booked 2 loft rooms for the 6 of us. We chose this hotel because of the loft rooms, which was great since it had a nice living room area where we could all be together, but plenty of space for sleeping at night & a pool. Two of our children did have to sleep on the couch since they gave us rooms with a single king bed, but they said the couches were comfortable & they didn't mind. They were actually probably much softer than the beds. The beds were so hard, literally like sleeping on box springs, but amazingly, I never felt sore even though I like softer beds & I slept well. The linens & towels were clean, but the carpet was not! I think it is mostly because they are lighter colored carpets, but they really could use a cleaning. I am a bit OCD, so I wore flip flops in the room & had the kids wear the slippers that were provided, but since everything else was pretty clean, it was okay. It was really great to have 2 bathrooms in each room. Made it much easier while getting ready or when we all needed a bathroom break! We loved the size & arrangement of the room, but wish it was in a more central location. Luckily it is very close to the Suzhoujie subway station on the line 10, so we could get around easily, but it required a lot of travel time to get to most places. If we were to go again, we would likely stay in the Wangfujing area, which is more central. If you do stay here, ask for a view room.
