Beijing Hotel Nuo Forbidden City

Iso hotelli, jolla on pitkä historia, ja siksi tämä on hieman persoonallisempi vaihtoehto kuin täysin modernit, uudet hotellit. Tilava ja erittäin hiljainen huone ja hotellin aivan keskeinen sijainti lähellä tärkeimpiä nähtävyyksiä tekevät tästä mainion valinnan.

Huoneen kalustus oli hieman kulunutta, ja käsisuihkua olisi kaivannut suihkoppiin, mutta lisäksi kylpyhuoneessa oli myös erillinen amme. Kokonaisuudessaan hotelli oli kuitenkin hienosti uusittu, siis ja hyvässä kunnossa.

The breakfast buffet had a good selection of western items. The location was very close to the Wangfujing pedestrian mall with a wide variety of stores. The Forbidden City was a fair distance away and not too far for me to walk but the concerns about the Corona virus (Jan 24, 2020) severely limited my desire to spend any time in the crowds. I hope to return to China afterwards to stay in the same hotel and see the sights that I missed during this trip. Be careful when coming into Beijing because there are 2 NUO hotels. GPS map directions led me to the wrong hotel. The friendly staff at the wrong hotel ordered a taxi for me to the correct hotel. The taxi fare was about 50CNY.

Changing the length of stay at the hotel is not allowed by booking . com. Once the guest checks in, no changes to the reservation are allowed. I wanted to leave Beijing early due to the corona virus and go back to the USA; booking . com would not allow it. I was going to be liable for the entire reservation. I will never use this service again! The hotel was great, booking . com is not at all. The hotel did not charge me for nights that I was not there. They were great about the situation, booking was not decent about it at all!

We had never been to China and I wanted somewhere convenient for the major tourist sites and where staff would be likely to speak English. Beijing Hotel Nuo delivered. The reception staff could always answer our questions, we could walk to the forbidden city and Wangfujing st and the excellent subway system is 400m down the road. The room heating is too much but it being winter we could just open a door to cool things down. Very clean and rooms serviced twice a day.
