Peking hotellia

Plussat: Staff great

Miinukset: Friendly and nice place

Plussat: The property was a beautiful building. It had a lot of history and was wonderfully decorated. The staff was also very friendly and very helpful.

Miinukset: I cannot think of one thing that I didn’t like.

Plussat: Lovely classical hotel, modernized just to the right degree, with an excellent location and truly exceptional check-in and concierge staff.

Miinukset: Nothing.

Plussat: Perfect Hotel, Very good service. Good location. My 3rd stay at this hotel.

Plussat: Excellent value. Definitely recommend staying here.

Miinukset: Nothing. All good.

Plussat: Very comfortable bed, friendly and helpful staff, plus location is excellent!

Plussat: Iso hotelli, jolla on pitkä historia, ja siksi tämä on hieman persoonallisempi vaihtoehto kuin täysin modernit, uudet hotellit. Tilava ja erittäin hiljainen huone ja hotellin aivan keskeinen sijainti lähellä tärkeimpiä nähtävyyksiä tekevät tästä mainion valinnan.

Miinukset: Huoneen kalustus oli hieman kulunutta, ja käsisuihkua olisi kaivannut suihkoppiin, mutta lisäksi kylpyhuoneessa oli myös erillinen amme. Kokonaisuudessaan hotelli oli kuitenkin hienosti uusittu, siis ja hyvässä kunnossa.

Plussat: Bed and breakfast were great! The staff was very good, attentive, and knowledgeable.

Miinukset: Air conditioning was not turned on in the building, so our room was really hot during our stay. We requested a fan very early and never received it. I recommend turning the air on earlier in the year.

Plussat: I treated myself to a little pricier hotel and ended up with s lovely upgrade to my room! The staff was warm and welcoming. The breakfast buffet was one of the largest I’ve seen. Elegant decor, wonderful swimming pool and soft pillows. I couldn’t have been more pleased with my selection.

Plussat: None. Other than the reception and front staffs are excellent. The rest are poor standard

Miinukset: Room design furnitures and toiletries inferior for price paid. Lighting and control switches hopeless. Facilities, bath shower etc is inferior.. not even 2star quality.

Miinukset: Pool was not open. Guide hired for great wall tour set me up for undesirable sales pitches from vendors and had unexpected extra expenses.

Plussat: I spent two nights this week. They were very friendly and responsive to every request promptly. Every room is a suite by design and decorated with classic furnitures and paintings. The room is also very quiet yet the hotel location is the prime location at the very center of Beijing. To my big and pleasant surprise, I found a birthday cake and a nicely hand-written birthday card by the the guest service manager Cherry when I returned to the room after a long day. It truly made my stay feel at home away from home. I would definitely like to go back in the future.

Miinukset: The carpet in the hallway is relatively old. Food varieties at breakfast and diner are limited.

Plussat: Free wireless throughout the hotel. Free bottles of water.

Plussat: Location, staff and facilities were super.

Plussat: Very comfortable hotel, excellent staff. We enjoyed the great quality of the rooms and the cocktail bar

Miinukset: The sushi restaurant

Plussat: awesome location, great ambience, great service

Plussat: The location of the hotel close to the forbidden city and Tianmen Square as well as to exquisite shopping malls makes is an excellent choice for tourists, but the equipment of the business rooms and the attentive staff also makes a stay as a business traveller comfortable

Miinukset: I brought my own laptop and benefitted from the wireless acess in the hotel rooms which was free. But the prices of the services offered by the business center and in the executive lounge (prices for copying, use of internet) are totally out of proportion.

Plussat: Location and ease of getting around main tourist spots, good service and attentive staff.

Miinukset:

Plussat: The ambassor was very helpful in sorting out places to go and problems with myroom

Miinukset: They allocated me the wrong room which was worth less than I had paid - no explanation was ever offered as to why

Plussat: They had a gentleman, who has worked at the hotel for 37 years, serve as Ambassador to English-speaking guests. He greets arrivals, offers them tea and acts as intermediary with Chinese concierges. Very welcoming. The lobby is gorgeous, location excellent, breakfast buffet amazing.

Miinukset: We found the beds hard, though the pillows were comfortable and the room in the originial building was lovely. Concierge command of English could have been better.

Plussat: Central location, right at luxury fashion street of Beijing. European design of facility. Lucurious service and setup.Very good.

Miinukset:

Plussat: Felt that we were treated like we were the only people staying in the hotel. Position is excellent to get around Beijing

Miinukset: The Concierge were not able to solve simple questions easily, not what I would expect from this type of service or this type of hotel

Plussat: Hotel is near shopping area, Tiananmen, and Forbidden city.

Plussat: We didn't have breakfast, but it looked great! Broad variety of selections.

Plussat: great location best rooms, don't need more than that. Clean AAA

Miinukset: soory nothing bad to say about the hotel

Plussat: Proximity to historic places was a plus

Miinukset: Bed not comfortable

Plussat: Location in walking distance of Tianamen Square. Roof Top Bar is stunning and has a clear view of the Forbidden Temple and Tianemen Square

Miinukset: Arranging a Taxi to Beijing South Railway Station was a little challenging but I made it at the end of the day... Make sure you arrange it earlier!!

Plussat: The location is the only good thing about this hotel. The hotel is old, dated and deteriorated. The staff barely speaks English. The breakfast is average at best. The room was dark and moldy. Very somber and sad. I was searching for an earring under the TV table and found some cookies that were from the previous guest. I wouldn’t recommend it. For the same price you can find MUCH better around in Dongcheng District or Wangfujing. I only saw locals in this hotel. The hotel arranged at my request for a taxi of the hotel to take me to the airport and the guy wanted to drop me at “arrivals” not departures. He didn’t speak English at all and was using GPS - I think it was his first time driving to the airport!! Please don’t go there!!!

Miinukset: Old very old fashion, dirty and deteriorated. Bad service.

Plussat: Location, location and friendly/helpful staff

Miinukset: The bed mattresses were too firm

Plussat: This hotel has a great location, 5min walking to several important spots: Tiananmen square, and great shopping area ; metro station and bus stop (2 min). Has a beautiful rooftop, perfect to evening break, with a gorgeous view. Friendly and available staff

Plussat: Location is excellent close to most activities

Miinukset: No window in my room and the price for the breakfast was very expensive

Plussat: The staff was very helpful and kind, two of them knew english pretty well, the room was comfortable and clean

Miinukset: The hotel is near some great attraction but unfortunately in a street where there no restaurant and a lot of security check booth which make it harder to wander around, but it's not the hotel fault

Plussat: Location is excellent very central, close to Hutongs, bed very comfy and soft compared to other places in China I have stayed. The bathroom was nice with a huge shower and soft towels. Free small water and tea and coffee in the room was good. Space to unpack and hang some things up. Double windows help keep the noise out. Restaurant in the hotel has good selection and very good value I thought

Miinukset: I liked it

Plussat: The location is great for tourists. The price is reasonable. There are decent amenities. Couldn’t complain. Just don’t go during National Day. The roads will be closed.

Miinukset: It’s a little outdated. The breakfast is a little expensive. And people smoke in the rooms when they aren’t supposed to. The smoke lingers into the hallway but that’s China.

Plussat: The property is a convenient location, a 15 minutes’ walk from Tiananmen Square and the Forbidden City, and a few hundred metres from the Wangfujing shopping area. There are also several shops in the immediate surroundings, including a couple of convenience stores just across the street. The Dengshikou metro station, 1.2 Km from the hotel, is served by Line 5, which can be used to reach the Temple of Heaven. I reserved a Superior Room, and it was spacious, comfortable, quiet and spotless. The bathroom was very clean, too. In-room facilities included TV, kettle, fridge, safe, and also a desktop computer running a dual-language (Chinese-English) version of WinXP. Internet access was available via both Wi-Fi and a LAN (RJ45) port. The connection was overall stable during my stay (4 days).

Plussat: Location very close to Forbidden City, Wangfujin Street etc.

Miinukset: Carpet in room was disgusting, bath was moldy, general, condition not great. Clientele was questionable. Ex. A rather blah and over priced breakfast buffet was further damaged by a guest openly sneezing out white chunks which landed on the carpet right in front of the buffet (and probably other places) and were left there by the guest and staff as if this was a normal occurrence. We usually try to stay in modest local type establishments but in retrospect wish we had gone with a larger western chain, many of which were nearby.

Plussat: Near Sijiminfu so we managed to have Peking duck twice at about 11am when there is no queue. Long queue in the evenings. Good food and service. Will advise customers if order too much food.

Miinukset: Had a shock when we first arrived trying to get to the hotel from Wangfujing. Seemed endless walking. Rather far from Wangfujing subway. Had to take bus 82 or 2 daily to Tiananmendong to take subway.

Plussat: Excellent location.

Miinukset: The staff speaks poor English and it makes it difficult to communicate. There was a deposit that we needed to pay upon arrival which was not indicated in any of the booking information.

Plussat: Location is fantastic. Short walk to forbidden city. Staff were pleasant. Restaurants nearby are delicious.

Miinukset: Beds are rock hard! Breakfast buffet was lacking.

Plussat: Accomodating staff.

Miinukset: None

Plussat: Great service!

Miinukset: Nothing.

Plussat: Its near to Forbidden city within walking distance. Its also near to Wangfujing shopping street.

Miinukset: It takes about 30 minutes walk to nearest subway. Curfew start at 6pm on the night of our stay because of China 70th anniversary celebration rehearsal was not informed to us before our arrival.

Plussat: Close to city centre and tourist areas

Miinukset: Bar area was never open

Plussat: The hotel is close to the Forbidden city, Tian'anmen square, subway stations, street markets, restaurants, etc. The staff was helpful and some of them spoke good English.

Plussat: The staff are friendly and accommodating They can speak english.

Miinukset: Kindly feature the front entrance because we almost got lost because the one being feature is the side gate gor which wr kmock gor so long thinking that was the entrance.good thst my daughter walked to the other side of the street and saw another entrance which was actually the mean entrance.

Plussat: Location and cleanliness

Miinukset: Staff barely speak English and air conditioning barely works

Plussat: The staff availability, strategic position, quiet area

Miinukset: Poor english of the staff and bad smell in the room. Problems with the payment by Debit Card (MasterCard). Problems with the safe-box.

Plussat: The location is excellent. The room was OK, but the breakfast not really.

Miinukset: Breakfast.

Plussat: Location

Miinukset: Wifi didn’t work properly

Plussat: Location was great, shame about tobacco infused room. Bathroom dirty.

Miinukset: Dirty bathroom and tobacco infused room.

Plussat: Breakfast was delicious and a great value!

Plussat: Central location, friendly staff

Miinukset: Run down, dirty carpets, dirty curtains, mouldy shower, rusty plumbing, big brown stain on side of mattress, wallpaper peeling off the wall, damaged furniture and wall edges. Badly in need of closing down and refurbishing before any rooms are made available. Was told kitchen being renovated, so no lunch or dinner offered, buffet breakfast good but very meagre choices.

Plussat: The location was appropriate to location

Miinukset: all was fine

Plussat: It's a great location.

Miinukset: Most of the staff could not communicate well in English, although I understand that this is common in China. The room was too hot. I informed the maid on the second day, and she sent someone who turned down the heat, but it was still a little hot.

Plussat: Location was good. Other than that everything else was bad.

Miinukset: They gave us the worst room possible. What kind of deal did you strike with them? They were asking for a lot of money for upgrade when asked for a better room.

Plussat: Great staff Luggage deposit Location

Miinukset: Smell of mould in the room Washroom doors not closing properly

Plussat: Very close to forbidden city. We had a basement room. Well worth the money if you aim to sleep at the hotel, and spend most of your time outside, experiencing the city.

Miinukset: We had the breakfast the first morning. It was pretty good but you can get alot more for half the price at the local big supermarket (located on the bottom floor at the mall). Also, our WiFi did not work in our room. This was a bit frustrating.

Plussat: Close to attractions.

Miinukset: A good location as long as you're not taking the train. It's too far to walk with luggage, too close for taxis to come, the bus they told me to take doesn't go there, and you have to take 2 subway trains. Also, basement rooms had a lot of water damage.
