We stayed at the Ariva Hotel while in Beijing on a group tour. We found the hotel to be well placed for our needs and is on the right side of town to easily visit the Badaling Great Wall area. It is also within a reasonable distance to attractions such as the Summer Palace etc. Just around the corner from... More

There is a smell in the room. Breakfast is not international. Usd was not available at front desk. My key broke 3 times. Very few english speakers at reception. Electric curtains were broken on my second night. The stairs in the room is hard to manage. We wait for too long for the elevator.

This hotel is really nice, especially after a month of backpacking around Southeast Asia. We picked this hotel because my family was visiting a student at Peking University and wanted to be closer to her. It's 3 subway stations away from Peking University, but a 40 minute subway ride from downtown. Therefore, if you want to visit closer to downtown,... More

Normally up market Chinese hotels are part of a franchised brand, and they need the standard procedures and guidelines of the brand hand book to make it work. Unusually this hotel is not part of a franchised brand but still manages to make it all work. The loft rooms are worth the small amount extra

Recently built, it has all the amenities of a mid-level American hotel, though construction quality is shoddy, but it does not affect guests. It has some flashy touches, like the bedroom in an upstairs loft and two full bathrooms. The separate bedroom and bath is terrific for couples who don't want to rise at the same time. Nice swimming pool,... More

Locate 5 minutes far from subway station "SuZhujie", nearby huge shopping mall with many food court, 3 station far from Beijing University and ChingHua University. Room and facilities are overall clean and neat, staff with well-trained even they don't speak good English. Cons: Bit noisy due to huge window, just next to highway / Pros: Good view.

A comedy of errors at this large business-style hotel in Beijing's university district and about 10 mins by taxi from the Summer Palace. Our first room was of a good size with a large bathroom and bathtub that, sadly, refused to drain. Since we were staying a few days we asked to change room. Not a problem, they said in... More

I elected to stay in one of the Loft Suite rooms and got a really good price for an apartment-sized room (King-sized bed) with 2 bathrooms - 1 with a rain shower and the other with a designer bathtub. The hotel is 4 years old and very shiny and new-looking - the loft suites are fantastic for the price but... More

Huge room with plenty of window. Free internet and lovely breakfast. It was nice that the 2 level room had a bathroom both upstairs and down as the stairs where abit steep. A nice clean room and good amenities, however the bed was a little bit hard. Staff tried to be very helpful but did not speak much English, this... More
