Good central location, small room. I was given a key to a room that had not yet been cleaned, and staff spoke almost no English and were generally not very helpful.

Date of Stay: September, 2008

Expensive for what we got, especially during the Olympics. Taxi cabs always had a hard time finding this place, and the hotel had no maps posted on their website so we had to get a map of Beijing and physically search for the address. Unfortunately I don't speak Chinese and none of the hotel workers there spoke english very well, if at all. The place was clean though, and about 1k from the subway station.

The hotel is hard to find and the phone number listed on the online travel website page is not the hotel phone number, but the taxi driver was very clover to call information and found the number and the address to the hotel, centraly located with near by restaurant and places to eat., close to the metro estation that very convenient., and for that amount of money you can beat it., the tour to the great wall at the front desk for 160 yuan is excelent ask for Summer as your tour guide she is the best.

Pricing high due to Olympics, convenient to subway, not alot of English spoken but we managed, buses at front door and taxis available.

Date of Stay: December, 2008

Althought I should have realized the hotel was very inexpensive in this package, I was not prepared for the condition--not only was it bleak but it was very dirty as well. The halls of the floors I viewed were scary--run down, dirty sub-hostel standing. The location was good---but the rest was for me was unbearable so I immediately moved that night to a more expensive hotel a mile down the street. Then the next day found a hotel that was suitable for my weeks stay. The hotel granted a refund for all but one day. I blame myself for trying to get something for nothing.

Our room was not available when we arrived at the Hotel so we were given a room that had a very basic clean. Due to the Olympics the prices of the meals (breakfast) at the restaurant had been greatly inflated (+ - 300%) The location is fantastic if you enjoy as we do the "local" life of Beijing. The subway is within walking distance. There is plenty of local food stalls around and also a KFC with great coffee a block away. There is little or no English spoken at reception so you require basic Chinese to ask for information other than checking in or out.

The most unpleasant feature was a smell in the hotel room, probably due to the moisture. Otherwise good.

Had trouble finding the hotel because it is on a street with many similarly named streets in the area. Finally found a doorman at a commercial center who told a cab driver how to find it. So find it on a map before you go so you can show the cabbie. Hotel is about a long city block from the subway which you can ride for 2 yuan or about 30 cents. Can't be beat. Also close to a bank to exchange your money. And there is an internet cafe 2 doors down. Only 2 yuan for 30 minutes. There was plenty of hot water. Quiet room. Towels a little thin, but that's being picky. Only big issue was the really hard mattresses. Took some getting used to. And the folks at the front desk can't really speak English. Didn't understand LA is 16 hours behind and thought I should have checked in on the day I left LA so I had no reservation. Had to come back an hour later to get a manager involved to get it figured out. The staff couldn't figure out how to turn on my room phone. Got inaccurate answers to simple direction questions for example. Tour to great wall from company in lobby is fabulous! Bus picked us up in the lobby and took us to Ming tombs, jade factory tour, free lunch, great wall and silk factory tour all in one day and all for 160 yuan! Don't miss it. The sidewalk in front of the hotel was being ripped up while we were there. The restaurant in the hotel was closed during for renovation during our stay. Staff very friendly. Would definitely stay there again

I arrived in Beijing late at night. The taxi driver had never heard of this hotel and could not find it. He used the phone number listed in the itinerary and tried to call. But the listed number is a wrong one. When I finally found the hotel, the front desk told me that they had never received my booking, therefore, there is no room reserved. I was told that I was free to go if I was not satisfied with this hotel. What a nightmare! I was finally checked in, but was told that I need to contact the front desk again the next morning after 9:00 am when their marketing folks came to work. The issue was resolved the next day, but the experience is very unpleasant.
