A good hotel for the Forbidden City. Big drawback... very little English spoken, which made it quite difficult at times. The staff were very friendly and did their best to help. They wrote down the name of our destination for us and went out of their way to get us taxis. The linen and bathroom were very clean, but carpets did not seem to have been hoovered. There were plenty of toiletries in the bathroom and a hairdrier in the room. The breakfast was mostly Chinese style, though there was an attempt made to cater for Western tastes. Dinner was good value. Don't look at the carpet, especially near the entance to the kitchen!!! Kitchens were on view behind a perspex screen and looked clean.
