Crowne Plaza Beijing Wangfujing

The only good thing about this hotel is the location. However the rest of it is most definitely not up to the standard of an IHG / Crowne Plaza property. Avoid!

Very old, uncared for and hugely dated hotel. Musty smell throughout rooms and bathrooms. Dated and falling apart furniture. Fixtures are held together with blu tack / sellotape. Stains on carpet, aircon doesn’t work effectively which is a nightmare in the Beijing heat and humidity. Below par internet and WiFi service and noisy corridors from loud housekeeping staff. How IHG / Crowne Plaza can charge the amount they do is beyond me. Possibly the worst hotel stay, despite moving rooms three times. Front desk staff were fairly understanding but did not offer any such compensation aside from offering alternative (but also unacceptable) rooms and complimentary breakfast which was also disappointing for a supposed 4-5 Star property. Please avoid and do not be tempted by the location or that it’s supposed to be part of a reputable chain.
