Beijing Kuntai Royal Hotel

Hotel was 15 minutes walk from a subway station, 5 mins walk from small shops and places to eat. Hotel food was fabulous! Pool was refreshing and relaxing. Staff were efficient and helpful. Rooms were spacious, clean and well-appointed. Lovely floral displays in all public areas. Bar (for tea and other drinks) was low-key and private with attentive staff.

Nothing!

The breakfast is amazing! Loads of Chinese choices (which I love) but also plenty of choices for Western breakfast. The pool is also great.

I am not sure if the staff is able to help tourists new to Beijing very much. I used to live in the city and didn't need too much help, but they seemed to struggle with a few of the things I asked. That said, they were very very nice. For people new to Beijing, I suggest you get your own map. The one they have is fine but too big - lots of little streets are left off.

pool is really large which allowed me to swim a lot. gym is the best we had on our journey. subway to central line (line 2) not far. 7Eleven around the corner. We had an excellent view. Restaurants in the hotel are good

it is ok to ask people to wear a swimming cap but they should sell it cheaper. renting table tennis racks is ridiculous expensive.

The location is perfect (close to so many different restaurants). Staff is incredible and so helpful. The hotel is super clean and the breakfast buffet was out of this world. Will definitely book there again.
