Beijing Zhong An Hotel

ACCEPTABLE BUDGET HOTEL

Helpful and pleasant staff. When I asked for a room change because of cigarette smoke odor, I got it immediately. Clean facilities, although the walk in through the hutong is a little gritty. A staff member came out to meet me at a restaurant near the hutong entrance and walked me in. Hotel is very near a subway station: Beijing Railroad Station (line 2 subway). Electric kettle available in room but now fridge.

No elevator access to my fourth floor room. The hotel is not easy to find. Most taxi drivers will drop passengers at the entrance to the hutong where the hotel is located (a short walk in). It is wise to get the address of a nearby landmark to tell the driver.
