We stopped here as part of a tour of China. The hotel is on a busy street corner (8 or 9 lanes to cross). Don't be fooled by the green man, cross at your peril, drivers in China don't obey the highway code! Anyway, the reception staff were friendly and we went to find our room. First impression, reasonable size... More

We arrived at the hotel from the airport by taking the subway - very straightforward. Upon check-in we were offered smoking or non-smoking rooms and were given a room on a non-smoking floor. The room itself was clean and very comfortable (though the heat was REALLY cranked up - thankfully we were able to adjust it from the room itself).... More

This is a well maintained and well run establishment. The restroom in the room is recently remodeled so very nice. Beware, the shower will leak, hence the drain in the bathroom floor. The view from the room is unremarkable, and there is a significant amount of street noise. The A/C is not quite effective, so we had to have our... More

I was pleasantly suprised by this hotel. First off, the location is absolutely fabulous. It's steps away from the subway stop at Chongwenmen and even within walking distance of Tiananmen Sqaure. The rooms were clean and quiet (my room was not facing the street). Each room had a hairdryer and TV with several English language stations. I was a little... More

I can't think of a better home base in Beijing than the Chong Wen Men Hotel. You have two subway entrances right outside the front doors and you are within 2-3 stops of the Tiananmen Square, the Forbidden City, Lama Temple, New World Shopping, the Hutongs, and other great city sites and attractions. Wedome Cafe is a delicious and very... More

This was my first trip to China and we were part of a G Adventures tour. We came a day early to acclimate to the time zone, the weather, and ease into the culture. The Chong Wen Men is centrally located to get to pretty much everything you need to see as a tourist, since there's a metro station right... More

Chongwenmen Hotel has close to best location in Beijing: being next to subway Line 2, 9 minute walk to Beijing Railway Station, 15 minute walk to Tiananmen Square, 2 minute walk to New World Shopping Departmental Stores, 8 minute walk to Oriental Arcade & 15 minute walk to Wang Fu Jing Walking Street. All staff that I encountered were definitely... More

very average place, small basic rooms, very ordinary breakfast, location is ok as it's right by a metro and has some good places to eat nearby. staff on the front desk are unhelpful. avoid if possible, we stayed here as part of a tour, there must be better on offer in beijing...but this will do if you are desperate.

Tiny rooms, bare essentals. Fitness suite is currently out of use. Functional accomodation close to subway. But free wifi in lobby. Bearable.
