excellent location and friendly staffs. Easy to access public transportation. Close to well known shopping and sightseeing places.

My mum and I stayed in this hotel for three nights. We thought overall it was good value for money. Pros were - fantastic location close to Forbidden City, helpful staff. Our room had views across the Forbidden City. Cons are - it is dated, the shower was especially antiquated.

Good Hotel with a great location - the Concierge Service was outstanding and really helped with our trip.

The hotel is incredible and decorations are on par with an art gallery or museum. The staff is quite nice and always try hard to help. Breakfast was better than expected. Only wish is they would have better electrical outlets by the bed. It also smells as if the room was smoked in despite the ban. I suppose people ignore the rules. What makes the hotel stand out is the location!! Literally steps from Tiananmen Square!!! Beware if you choose a street view or Forbidden City room, it can be veeeery noisy. Tour buses literally show up at 4:30am and let tourists out. Unsure where at 4:30 they are going but u may want to bring some noise canceling ear phones or ear plugs.

Great location, extremely close to the Forbidden City and Tiananmen Square on one side and Wanfujing Street on the other side. The hotel itself is a bit old and some of that is evident in the room. Taxis were difficult to get - there is no taxi stand, and the staff would just use the Didi app to hail a cab, sometimes taking 5-10 minutes to get one.

The hotel is in the city center and close to everything. I had a great view of the Forbidden City and Tiananmen Square. The hotel is older. I would not recommend the room service. I ordered dinner one night and it was horrible.

This property has an excellent location, just one block from Forbidden City and Tiananmen Square, but the property is extremely worn and showing its age. We were told upon check-in that our room was being 'upgraded' to a 'suite' which simply meant we had a separate sitting room, but the room was so cold (heat did not work) that we were moved again. We got a Forbidden City view in the new room which was great, but the room itself was very aged and had a horrible smell (think dead mouse in the wall) near the door and moldy smelling bathroom. The beds were comfortable by China standards. The restaurant was extremely pricey so we chose not to dine there. The rooftop bar/terrace that they advertise in many pictures was closed and the terrace locked, so we couldn't go out to take pictures. I would recommend this hotel only for the location, but definitely not worth the price of the accommodation.

Perfect location, good hotel with high level of service.

No air conditioning. There was mosquito in the room.

This hotel is 5-min walk from the subway station and 10-min walk from Wangfujing Walking Street. It is also close to the Forbidden City with a brilliant view. The staff are friendly and willing to provide tour information when being asked. The room facilities are in good condition but look a bit old. Overall it is a great experience.

Extremely good location. Facilities ok. WIFI available for use if you have a Chinese Mobile Number. Arrived 24th, no airconditione and can be quite stuffy and hot in the afternoon. then again you will not be in the room in the afternoon.

Great location and staff. It has a charm as an older hotel but needs improvement. You can't get an air movement from the central fan system making the room stuffy and warm, the towels were rubbing off on me, and the sink counter needs better cleaning.

I stay in this and Beijing hotels quite often. Excellent location, hotel facilities . However, when the Forbidden City View room I booked was too much noise, the front desk staff told me I either upgrade to another room by paying the difference or downgrade by not receiving the difference and writing a announcement that I was voluntarily requesting the lower grade room with no price difference.

My family love the hotel, with chinese touch in decor. Rooms are clean and staffs are friendly. Some limitations in English. My only complaint is the cost of breakfast ($30pax) although it was good but a bit expensive.

The hotel is located next to the Tiananmen Square and the Forbidden City, and the pedestrian walking street. You cannot find any better location than this one. Staff members were friendly and helpful, and room was very clean. It is worth to know the hotel has reflected the history of Qing Danasty, went through the republic, communist and capitalismlization time by different section of the hotel building.

Comfortable and clean, bathroom is a little tired, bad water leak stains around the front door area.

WFI was extermely weak, staff are freindly.Booked for two adults with breakfast, but was pozzeled when they billed me for the second person.

The staff was excellent. They were very helpful and polite. Hotel is a little old but nice. I would stay here again.

Excellent location and staff. Roofdeck permanently closed

the facility is pretty old and out of date, the front desk is not that friendly, the room I had doesn't have the windows and but the location is not bad though

The hotel was clean and staff was very accommodating. The décor was outdated and unappealing...a group of fake pandas "playing on the floor in the corner of the lobby, pretty cheesy. BUT ...the LOCATION was amazing !! Walk to Forbidden City and many other famous and incredible sights !

Hotel is close to Tian'anmen square and Imperial Palace. Hallways smelled of smoke and room smelled a little musty. Bathroom had some water and mold damage visible. Beware of the buffet breakfast - my wife got food poisoning from it.
