Artyzen Habitat Dongzhimen Beijing

The breakfast was more than adequate, but somewhat lacking in variety and options. The dining room and service were both quite pleasant. Very modern facilities, very efficient staff, and most modern conveniences.

The location is not that great, especially for those relying on public transport. Depending on how fast you walk, it's anywhere between 15 and 20 minutes to the nearest subway stations (Dongzhimen and Yonghegong Lama Temple). My last night there I discovered quite a pleasant canal-side path that led most of the way to Yonghegong; I wish I'd known about it earlier. There are few stores or restaurants in the vicinity, and half the building looks out onto a very busy elevated highway. I asked for a quiet room and got one overlooking said highway; fortunately, the windows were thick enough to filter out most of the noise. There are rooms facing on a a quiet courtyard; I'd ask for one of those.
