I stayed in a double-room, single-occupancy, for three nights in October 2010, total CNY 684 / 81 euros / 100 dollars. The hotel was down a nice laneway/hutong, 7-10 minutes from the nearest metro, and 20 minutes from the main shopping street.
The room itself was a bit grotty. Not sure when the bedding was last washed, so bring your own sheets, boys and girls!
The bathroom was ok. The sink drainpipe was too short and spilled water everywhere on the floor. But I fixed it by slicing off the bottom of a large water bottle and inverting it, funneling the effluent into a hole in the floor. I was proud of myself, being an arts major and all.
There's a little bar in the lobby where I met some nice travellers on one night. On another night it was full of old guys telling tales of their sexploits in southeast Asia, so I made my polite excuses and retired early.
