Super helpful staff, friendly towards foreigners. Was assisted multiple times - directions, tour bookings, recommendations etc. Special thanks to Mr Spring Si and Mr Lang who helped me with arranging and booking a tour of the Great Wall, Tian An Men Square and Forbidden City Tour. Location is great too - being right beside the metro, it was super convenient to get to shopping centres and the train station. This offered a great alternative (faster) to being stuck in the Beijing traffic. Nice and clean room. Overall, would highly recommend.

Everything is up to date except for the shower room. We will definitely stay again if we visit Beijing again!

- Shower in my room not well designed. The lowest part of the shower was below the drain so if I have two showers between room cleaning you have to step into cold wet standing water which is a health and safety issue. The hotel must know this is an issue but still sells the room. - inconsistent service. Sometimes I was left enough towels others I wasn’t. Sometimes room was dressed down in evening others it wasn’t. - maid service wake you up early when most hotels I’ve stayed in know when a guest is in their room and leave them alone. - swimming pool needs a cap to be worn. I was provided one but my brother was turned away. - the staff are very efficient but in doing so seem a touch cold which is really unusual when I compare hotels across Asia where there is a blend of efficiency and warmth.

Great stay! Clean and advanced amenities. Only downside is the rooms did not have air conditioning, so sleeping at night was very hot.

Staff was very helpful regarding one problem; I got an upgrade free of charge; Hotel is close to Beijing subway.

Really old property. Carpet smells bad. Excellent location.

The shower head did not work properly, they upgraded me to a suite once there was room available. The front desk staff are helpful. The breakfast was really impressive. The location is excellent, right outside the subway station.Overall it was a pleasant stay.

I stay at the Swissotel whenever I am in Beijing. While the rooms are a little dated, they are comfortable and clean. The best thing though has to be the location. Situated on top of a subway station and very close to SaiTun/SOHO area.

Loved the location, steps from subway system. Since our visit was sightseeing , being close to an easy transportation network was a plus. Staff friendly and helpful. Hotel clean.

Reception staff was not very understanding of my insistence on a double room, which is what i had booked, and NOT a twin room, i took the initiative to ring to confirm an evening checkin, but was still asked by management what time i rang, as if that should matter. Alas with a heavy heart the senior checkin staff let me get 'upgraded', the room looked no different to standard double room, but with bar facility.
