Howard Johnson by Wyndham Paragon Hotel Beijing

Room is nice, but a little old. It is a pretty hot inside. Breakfast was really great. Location is ok, very very close to metro and good for sightseeing.

Some parts of staff are really nice, but others are not. I exchange the money only in hotel and I got fake note. Hotel manager was like ... well you did not get it from us we go to Bank of China ... and that was that. I advise others to exchange in a bank of Beijing just in front of hotel. Other thing is that they took amount of one night from my card before my arrival and made me paid full amount when I came. They said that in 7 days they will return me my money .. that they took as reservation... Let's see...

The location was very good for short business trips. The hotel is situated very close the Central Train Station of Beijing. The hotel was clean and well decorated, but looked a bit outdated. The staff was professional and friendly. The hotel serves a excellent breakfast for a reasonable extra price.

There were construction activities going on during the middle of the night. The windows of the hotel were not blocking these sounds which dramatically reduced the comfort. The hotel should have notified customers about this. The bar is closing quite early (11:30pm) and also before the indicated closing time.

The hotel is good and the bedroom is comfortable. Well located, very short walk to 北京站 subway station and a few minutes to the train station.Thirty minutes walking and you get into tourist attractions such as Wangfujing (shopping street) or Tiananmen.

The room is dimly lit and it can be a bit noisy because of the proximity to the train station.
