Peking hotellit lähellä Bell and Drum Towers

Plussat: Eric from the concierge was awesome and so vital to us completing all of our sight seeing tasks for the trip. He arranged taxi's, helped up purchase tickets for temples and even seeing the great wall of China. He checked in with us to make sure we were ok and to see if we needed anymore assistance. He was very polite, caring and of professional. He was outstanding!

Miinukset: Access to the rooftop bar would have been nice to see. We tried to go have drinks and food after a long day but found out you needed to purchase a meal plan with kinda a bumber! So we went down the street to eat. Kinda weird because youd think they would want you to spend money at the hotel.

Miinukset: Club Lounge has limited offer and no wine and cheeses and cold cuts throughout the day - food selection mostly bread and pastries and the usual coffee beverage, juices and soft drinks.

Plussat: Lovely hotel well located near tourist attractions and shopping. The breakfast was the best I’ve had anywhere in the world as it catered to Asian, European and American tastes. I think there were 7 or 8 stations

Miinukset: We turned on the do not disturb button in error and housekeeping had to come late in the day.

Plussat: Excellent breakfast, convinient location, very comfortable room, clean....

Miinukset: Staff weak english

Plussat: Excellent upgrade to club floor facilities.

Miinukset: We were there on a national holiday. Not complaining, as we accepted following offer. Given high occupancy, check in agent offered us a windowless room for first night of two night stay, in exchange for upgrade to club floor amenities (17th floor lounge access including breakfast for both nights). We accepted offer, worked out fine.

Plussat: By far the best view ( Forbidden City) from our room out of all the hotels we stayed at during our holiday in China and Japan.

Plussat: Great location, beautiful hotel. Staff really wants to help out.

Miinukset: There is a construction site next to the hotel. Also the facilities mentioned in booking included spa - which was in renovation during our stay (something that wasn’t mentioned anywhere). The hotel scheduled spa treatment for me elsewhere- but when I got to the other spa (in a taxi by my own expense) they had no idea I was coming.

Plussat: location

Miinukset: high price

Plussat: Everything.

Miinukset: The spa is closed for almost 2 weeks.

Plussat: Hotellin sijainti on loistava ja palvelu hyvää. Henkilökunta on todella ystävällinen ja palveleva.

Miinukset: Hotellin hinta laatu on oivallinen eikä sellaista josta ei pitäisi ollut.

Plussat: Really nice lively lobby bar area. Nice feeling of integration with nearby Hutong. Very tasteful decor. Amazing, if expensive, breakfast. Excellent location within walking distance of Tian’anmen Square and Forbidden City.

Miinukset: This isn’t really their fault, but staff’s command of English was limited, which led to some minor misunderstandings.

Plussat: Hyvä hotelli

Miinukset: Ei oikeastaan valittamista

Plussat: Erittäin hyvä sijainti ja ystävällinen palvelu. Kaikki tarpeellinen lähellä ja lyhyt matka metro asemalle. Aamupala kohtalainen. Erittäin monipuoliset retkipalvelut. Ostin valmis retken Mutianyun osalle kiinan muuria ja matka oli loistava ja erittäin hyvä hinta/laatu suhde. (280y) Matkat bussilla edes takas, lipun hinta sisään ja lounas. Muurilla 3 tuntia vapaata aikaa. Käteistä varattava matkalle jos meinaa juomista ostaa.

Plussat: Lovely helpful staff who speak English, made such a difference. The tours are great and you can book them directly. Room was clean, overall a great stay.

Miinukset: Room was a bit small as we were there for 4 nights - fine for 1-2 nights though.

Plussat: The location of the Hotel is its greatest asset - very near to Metro and Banks. Being in a hutong is quite interesting if you care about such an atmosphere. The staff speaks good English, something extremely helpful.

Miinukset: The over all atmosphere is something in between a hotel and a youth hostel. It would be useful if the room had a chair and a place to hang your clothes. Since there is no elevator, you have to be capable of carrying your suitcase up the stairs to the second or third floor.

Miinukset: Price higher

Plussat: The Reception Workers all had splendid English skills and were very friendly. Helped me with Taxi organization, Invoice printing and other issues. Will become my standart location for Beijing stays. Perfect location with perfect infrastructure for food and shops.

Plussat: Awesome beds! Just extremely friendly.

Miinukset: Nothing....

Plussat: Aamiaiseksi oli valittavissa neljä erilaista lautasta ja juoma (kahvi, tee tai mehu).

Miinukset: Huoneeseen kuului vastaanoton meteli öisin, mutta olimme niin väsyneitä ettei se kovin haitannut.

Plussat: For the price, this is a really excellent hotel. The room was comfortable, breakfast good, and the staff were friendly and helpful. The location is probably the best feature, as the hotel is on a quiet hutong, so it is very central (easy walking distance to many of the sights, near a metro stop and lots of shops / restaurants) while also being quiet and peaceful.

Plussat: Hotel itself is good. Staff is even better - very friendly and helpful. Location is good - just 5 min walk to Metro, but the street is kind of narrow. In weekdays it is busy with people, children (school) and other cars, so taxi is better on a wider road (close).

Miinukset: Maybe a small table would be nice to have? The room is not too small (by European standards), but missed a table or a chair...

Plussat: Excellent hotel. I'd really stay here again when coming back to Beijing. The best, I've got an upgrade! =)

Plussat: The location is perfect. The room was very well equipped and quiet. Breakfast was good enough.

Miinukset: The reception desk and the lobby is at the 3rd floor

Plussat: It was a very spacious and clean room. With lot of utilities. Comfortable bed, good wifi in the room. Close to lots of restaurants and supermarkets. The staff was very helpful in any situation.

Miinukset: Everything was okay

Plussat: Rooms are huge, well decorated and super clean and fresh smelling. Also extremely silent. The hotel is well located, about 10 min walk to two metro stations (one of them is directly connected to the Airport Express). It’s also right next to Gui Je, a long street full of restaurants. Would definitely come back.

Plussat: Great hotel, loved it. Clean, spacious, well located.

Miinukset: Nothing.

Plussat: The interior of the room was quite nice. Bed was comfortable

Miinukset: The washroom was not so clean. There was hair on floor and in the bathtub. Shower area was also not so clean. I felt that staff at the reception was not so friendly.

Plussat: Within walking distance to Lama Temple and nearby Huton and close to airport fast train Room was spacious and nicely arranged- huge bathroom

Plussat: My business room was large and spacious. There was a hot and cold water dispenser and a kettle. The location was a 5 minute walk from my contact point.

Miinukset: The hotel staff do not speak enough english to do their job.( I had no time to learn mandarin prior to my trip). They could not tell me where a street location was, 5 mins walk away from the hotel, even given a map in chinese. They awoke me on day 2 to demand I pay more for my room despite it being pre-booked for 7 days. The reception staff had no idea who Booking.com are.The staff were most unhelpful and unfriendly. This hotel does not cater to individual lady business travellers at all well. They do not mark all items in the room with prices, so it is presumed that the tea, for example is free. They then charge an extortionate price for it on check out. If you want to enjoy the fab city of Beijing, or a stressfree stay, look elsewhere.

Plussat: location is strategic very near to subway

Miinukset: bed is hard

Plussat: Location

Miinukset: Breakfast and noise from street

Plussat: The room size was good, nice bathrooms.

Miinukset: The bed was very hard and uncomfortable. Room did not feel that clean and often tea cups were not washed and were left in the room dirty.

Plussat: close to Dongzhimen subway station from where you can take the subway to all parts of the city, but it is also the start point of the Airport Express line which brings you in 20 minutes from the city to terminal 3 or 2 of the airport. Besides, the rooms are really spacious.

Miinukset: bed was somewhat hard.

Plussat: terrible service! payment required in advance! none of the staff does not speak in English "what 4 stars? Chinese is Chinese!

Plussat: siisti, kinnalaistyyppinen hotelli, hyvä sijainti.Kiinanalinen supermarket hotellin vieressä. Saimme hieman paremman huoneen ja se oli tosi tilava, ja oli jopa keittomahdollisuus ja micro! Sängyt olivat kovia, mutta totuimme siihen.Aamiainen oli ok ja kiva kun sisältyi hintaan. Lapseltani meni lasi vahingossa rikki ja yrittivät pulittaa euron siitä. Uskomatonta, mutta sain sovittua respan kanssa.Huone oli myös tosi rauhallinen, asuimme 8. kerros. Kaiken kaikkiaan mukava, suht. pieni hotelli ja hintaansa väärtti.Olin matkalla 11 v. poikani kanssa. Ei ole sellaista kohtaa kyselyssä.

Miinukset: En pitänyt siitä,että ottivat 150,- euron depositin, kun saavuimme hotelliin.

Miinukset: Todellisuus oli täysin jotain muuta mitä kuvista ja netin perusteluista tuli ilmi. Hotelli oli tuskin kahden tähden tasoinen vaikka sivuilla esiteltiin neljää tähteä! 10 minuutin jälkeen peruimme varauksemme ja vaihdoimme hotellia

Miinukset: paljonkin

Plussat: hotel is very good - much better rooms than you would think from the ourside -close to the centre of town 15 rmb (3$) by taxi. Beakfast very good.

Miinukset: squeekiest bed in the world; breakfast ends at 9:30.

Plussat: - Location; although everything looks a bit far away in this huge city - Very nice & spacy rooms - Good internet connection in the room

Miinukset: - Staff spoke poor english but really tried - A bit noisy sleeping at the front; they were busy repairing the street at night

Plussat: Large rooms, friendly staff, very clean

Miinukset: Very little English spoken (like everywhere else), very hard beds (like everywhere else)

Plussat: The Shadow Art Performance was a very nice and original experience - don't miss it!

Miinukset: It's a bit far from public transportation

Plussat: Rauhallinen paikka.

Miinukset: Huoneen oven lukko ei toiminut varmasti..

Plussat: Really nice location and friendly staff

Miinukset: Had to pull my heavy luggage upstairs myself

Plussat: Great location. The hotel is located in a HuTong. Walking distance to bar streets and Shichahai area. Morning walk around the big pond was exceptionally relaxing. The entire surrounding area is very characteristic, perfect for exploring old Beijing. And very good breakfast!

Miinukset: The shower drains very slow. We flooded the bathroom floor first time when we used it. We learned to Watch for that.

Plussat: The shadow puppet performance and hospitality of the staff were phenomenal. Also loved how the hotel was walking distance from Houhai Park.

Plussat: A charming small hotel in the historic Hutong area. It is a nice short walk to the Hohai Lakes, where you can watch older Chinese playing ping pong, badminton, doing dance exercises with swords & fans & an adult workout area with machines unlike in the USA. Only complaint was the hardness of the mattresses- not good if you have any hip pain. Shower was the best & largest of any hotel We’ve stayed in. Highly recommend this lovely hotel.

Miinukset: Hard mattresses & not close to any restaurants.

Plussat: lots of Character ,and it felt authentic.

Miinukset: the breakfast time should at least go till 10am

Plussat: Helpful staff. Relaxing lounge area with good range of drinks. Fantastic location and ambience Room comfy and great to have a traditional feel.

Miinukset: The breakfast choices were a little limited.

Plussat: Comfortable, Western-style beds, clean and functioning Western-style bathrooms (where the entire bathroom does NOT convert into a shower), and close proximity to central Beijing, subways, and general walkability were our priorities. This hotel hit them all, and also managed to be a great value compared to hotels. I'd say the amenities were on par with maybe the top 1/4 tier of Western chain hotels, but the price was that of a middle tier Chinese hotel. The friendly and helpful staff (many of whom speak English) and cultural aspect was a bonus as well.

Miinukset: The rooms are on the smaller side; they definitely fall under the "boutique" category, but the bed and bathrooms were all very large and comfortable, so we didn't mind the lack of "common" space. You're not able to control the air conditioning, but we found the temperature comfortable. Bear in mind that, as an energy saving measure, you need a hotel key card to turn the power on in the room, so you can't, for instance, leave something charging all day while you're out.

Plussat: Hyvää aamiainen, tosi hyvä sijainti

Plussat: Nothing really

Miinukset: Bad Location, noisy; staff not helpful, can't solve problem when there's one. No water due to the pipeline maintenance

Plussat: Honestly, there was nothing I liked about this hotel. I was expecting a four star hotel but what I got was a one or two star hotel instead. The area in the lobby next to the elevator had such a rancid smell that I shuddered every time I had to take the e.

Miinukset: I didn't like this hotel one bit. It is clearly not a four star hotel!

Plussat: the breakfast was OK...

Miinukset: Very bad internet. All over very dirty - especially the bathrooms. Every room (even the gym), has dirty wall to wall carpets. The service at the reception was extremely poor - bad english and overall little helpful. My card was stuck inside the ATM at the hotel and I had to spend two whole days to retrieve it with the help of random and friendly chinese people I met at the different banks (bank of china). The manager, Austin, was especially rude and little helpful. The breakfast was ok, but took forever to get coffee. Dont even try to get help to get a taxi, or to get to tips about the city.

Plussat: Everything was very satisfactory but nothing was really outstanding. The breakfast and dinner buffets are very good.

Miinukset: The one thing that let it down for me was the lack of seating areas in the lobby. If you are not eating there is really nowhere to just sit.

Plussat: History

Miinukset: Need a fresh looking. But it is an excellent hotel overall. It is awesome to have Chinese staff smiling alway. XIE XIE.

Plussat: Kylpytakki tohvelit teenkeittovälineet

Miinukset: Henkilökunta ei ymmärtänyt englantia ja palvelu ei siksi toiminut niinkun pitäisi. Hotelli ei vastaa 5 tähteä

Plussat: Location was fantastic. Selection of buffet was good. Concierge was really helpful.

Miinukset: Facilities are a little aged. Plumbing got blocked. Staff English was fairly average. Breakfast buffet was good selection but food not hot.

Plussat: Hyvällä paikalla. Kohtuullisen matkan päässä metroasemasta ja kävelykadulta.

Miinukset: Hinta-laatusuhde ei ehkä ollut aivan tasapainossa.

Plussat: Definitely the location is good. The Forbidden City is within walking distance and the metro is accessible through the National Art Museum. As it is the last station of line 8, is almost impossible to miss it.

Miinukset: The hotel is a bit expensive, but my major complaint is the tourist office in charge of daily trips, which has a desk in the lobby. Their guided trips are definitely substandard. Explanations are sparse and they focus on the shops. Particularly they split the visit to the ming tombs into two visits, leading to a waste of travel time.

Miinukset: My credit card details were swiped at the hotel . Illegal transaction occurred whilst I was staying at hotel

Plussat: This beautiful, well-equipped hotel is very conveniently located near transport and city attractions. The room was absolutely beautiful and made for a very comfortable stay. The pool was also great -- good for swimming as long as you weren't there in the rush hour as it is not very large. The neighbourhood is also appealing.

Miinukset: It was hit and miss with service from front desk because of language barrier. If staff on duty had good english, they were excellent. Without that available, however, it was a little harder to get clear information even though it was very evident that the service staff are very eager. Getting the doorman to get me a cab so I could make an appointment on time proved surprisingly difficult as well on a Monday morning -- even though I could have grabbed one off the street, he insisted I wait for the one that he had ordered online, but that cab driver got lost and took a further 15 minutes to get around the block. Eventually I had to go into the side road around the corner to jump into the cab the doorman organised, as the driver couldn't get to the front of the hotel in a timely fashion. To avoid such awkward situations in future, would definitely pre-booked the night before for a specific time.

Plussat: Very close to Dong si station and customer service desk was very friendly!
