Beijing Yue Bin Ge Courtyard Hotel

The location is good, near to the subway.

The communication with the staff was confuse cause they don't have a good level of English but they did a big effort to help me. Also I was dissapointed cause I paid a deposit and I didn't know it before about it.

Absolutely nothing. I will not stay here nor recommend this place to anyone.

I confirmed our rooms 3 times, but when we arrived, they still tried to give me a smaller room than I had reserved and requested. Thus, they had not bothered to turn on the heat in my room, so it was 30-40 degrees in the room for 3-4 hours until it heated up. We checked in around 3pm, and after turning on the radiator, the manager said it would not actually start until 6pm. There were not even slippers provided in the room, so the tile floor was freezing and I had to keep my shoes on the entire time. The shower shoes that were provided were so dirty and disgusting, I would not even wear them with socks. The sewage smell coming from the drains in the shower and sink were so overwhelming, it was hard to sleep. The bathroom was dirty enough that I decided against taking a shower. The rug had never been washed? The shower shoes were coated in dirt and filth. The counter and floors were covered in hair. The bed sheets were torn, stained, and old. The comforter provided was a summer comforter--and it is below freezing in Beijing in December and January! It was also covering a stained old, unwashed comforter, in the duvet. The walls and floors were cracked and in need of repair. The upholstery was torn and stained. I will never stay here again. Oh also, when we checked in, they demanded to go through our luggage! They would not allow me or my friend to take our luggage into our rooms until they had "checked it". They said this was required by the police. However, we stayed in 3 different hotels in Beijing, and NO OTHER place EVER asked this! And after returning to Chengdu, I asked my many friends who had traveled to or lived in Beijing, and no hotels require this or had asked this. They also required a 600yuan deposit, which no hotel in China has ever asked, and I have traveled to numerous provinces, cities, and towns! They don't mention this prior to booking.
