The reception desk pretty slow in the check in/out process
Great hotel and friendly staff. Very nice and clean room and EXCELLENT gym. However a big minus was the prostitution outside that the hotel did not care about at all. Me and my friend were solicited three times by women outside the hotel entrance targeting male hotel guests. We informed the reception but they did not show any interest in doing anything about it and just laughed at us. To us it felt like they accepted it, knew about it and did not care.
Rooms are large with very comfortable beds. All rooms are non smoking. My stay comes with breakfast but the breakfast is really mediocre. Hotel has a swimming pool and a very good gym (see photo)! Do note that if you intend to swim, you will have to get a swimming cap as all china swimming pool requires it. They do sell it at the counter though. Location is fantastic as its right next to a subway station.
HOTEL REVIEW
Conveniently located in Chaoyang near the Jintai Xizhao station of subway line 10, this hotel is walking distance from the Guomao shopping and restaurant areas. The rooms are clean, relatively modern, and well kept. The hotel services leave a little to be desired, with the business center open short hours only and charging exorbitant rates for basics such as printouts and copying. The vehicle arrival setup is pretty bad, rarely are taxis available for guests, and it seems impossible to have a vehicle wait for you as there is only a single lane to the hotel entrance. Overall, OK for an overnight, but hardly suited for the business traveller needing a home away from home.
BREAKFAST BUFFET REVIEW
Breakfast buffet features all the regular hits from hotels that are faking it, such as cold eggs, bland coffee, tasteless fruit, and bread that is dry and crumbly. Do yourself a favour and get some street food for breakfast, there a couple of great stalls just outside the hotel near Jintai XiZhao station
We arrived to the hotel at 2am, having 3 booked superior rooms with a king bed confirmed. Kris from front desk said that night we need to sleep in one room and change it the next day because they sold all the king beds even if they were expecting us to check in. When we say no as we were gonna have meetings the next day (business trip) she were complaining as they didn't have anything available. When we ask for the manager to out a claim she found 3 rooms availables. Being at 2 am after a long flight is not something we were expecting from a 5 stars hotel.
Good Hotel with nice big rooms. Good for a short or Long stay.
The hotel is located at the "third ring" in Beijing. Near to everything like malls, grocery stores, banks, parks, and also very close to the Forbidden City. The hotel service is great but not excellent, there is space for improvement. Rooms are huge and clean.
Will definitely visit again!
Very good hotel and service. Staff are very helpful. Food was very good. Good size room and good indoor swimming pool.
I had a great experience at this hotel. The staff are friendly and helpful and many of them speak English. The food is good and the hotel is very clean.
If you want to experience the new hotels in Beijing, this one you can’t afford to skip. It is located in the financial district with a contemporary style, western hotel management and courteous services. I was stunned by its health club. The thousand square feet weight and cardio floor overlooks the swimming pool one floor below. I was the only one use the facility in an early morning. The breakfast is also served on the executive floor with a bird’s view of Ritan Park. Not to mention the variety of foods from the East and the West. However, you can notice the small details that needs attention just as in any new hotels quickly erected in the past several years. The key card didn’t work well to operate the operator to the executive floors; the room sometimes smelt sewage; the modern bathroom with no vacuum fan designed in; and our online reservation discount was not reflected in the final bill.
Overall, just like fast growing China. You can quickly acquire and install the hardware, but it takes time to bring up to speed the soft skills and detail oriented mindset. I’d recommend your stay in this hotel if contemporary style is your like.
