Was quite a distance from the metro. I was with a tour that ended & had booked an extra night. It took a LOT of convincing for them to honor the extra night despite my reservation in hand. Finally after asking the manager why they wouldn't honor it & showing the date I made the reservation, they said I could... More

The location of this hotel is actually quite good, in that it is a pleasant one with a good selection of restaurants. It feels very safe and friendly And yes it is also convenient for the Temple of Heaven as well as a theatre which shows acrobatics and chinese theatre. But the downside is definitely that it is long walk... More

Perfectly adequate for staying in the capital city, clean, comfortable, good choice of breakfast, but poor links to public transport. Close to the Temple of Heaven and about 30 mins walk to the Pearl Market (great for those souveniers!). £15 for a taxi to the airport.

The location is fine as long as the only sight you want to visit is the Temple of Heaven, which is about 15 minutes walk away. To get anywhere else, the nearest metro station is 30 minutes walk away. The rooms were perfectly standard and everything worked, although the rock hard bed gave me terrible backache. There was maintenance work... More

Beijing is vast but this hotel was quite cosy. Breakfast was the only meal we had there and there was enough choice to ensure you wouldn't go hungry. Beds absolutely rock hard, as in all the hotels we used on this trip.

A good hotel, but avoid the executive rooms on the smoky top floor - there is a haze evident when stepping off the elevator and the air on that entire floor may constitute a pack-a-day habit. Mostly clean, though as with many Chinese hotels, the carpets are not cleaned often. Close enough to walk to the Temple of Heaven, but... More

The hotel is located near the Temple of Heaven and close to several restaurants. The room was of a good size, clean and tidy with a working bathroom. The breakfast was Chinese food. But included fruit and was of a reasonable standard. Overall one of the better holidays we stayed in during our 2 and 1/2 weeks in China. By... More

This unrated hotel would merit 3 stars (on a China scale). Near the Temple of Heaven, but not anything else, including public transportation. Tour groups stay here (probably because it has parking). The front desk will discount the rack rate for walk-ups. (Not a particularly good value w/o the discount.)
