Reception were effecient but we did have a Chinese speaker. Rooms were clean and did not smell of smoke unlike some other hotels. Breakfast - a large selection was available, Western, Chinese and Japanese, no problem with the quality though occasionally when several tour groups were in, seating was a problem. Did dine there once for dinner, and the menu... more

Excellent location on the busy main street. We were not very impressed with breakfast, infact it was the least favourite of the other 3 hotels we stayed at in China. Room service was good though. more

We stayed at this hotel as part of a China Odyssey Tour. The location was ideal right in the city center, a few minutes walk to the Bell Tower. The hotel itself fine but is due for a fresh coat of paint as everywhere was a bit dowdy. Having said that the rooms had all the necessary facilities, including hair... more

elong.com booked us here when our first choice wasn't available, and based on reading the other reviews here, I was prepared to have an unhappy experience...but I was pleasantly surprised, Yes, there was a bit of mildew in the bathroom in the corner by the tub.

The hotel is spacious and clean for an older hotel with 1970 - 1980's decorations. I was happy when we were able to get an actual non smoking room - which meant that people who have previously stayed have not smoked as sometimes in China the hotel perceives that you are telling them that you will not be smoking in... more

This hotel is spectacularly located - within the walled city, and an easy walk from the Drum and Bell towers. It has nice common areas, and decent restaurants. The breakfast included with our room rate was unfortunately available in the western restaurant only, an extremely busy buffet (so busy that there were a few overflow tables set up in the... more
