To be perfectly honest I was a bit disappointed with our room. We were on the ground floor and the bathroom flooded as soon as the shower went on. It was also a bit smelly and had not been aired. However they were very full so I think we were stuck in the one of the last available rooms - other members of our tour group had much nicer rooms... so best advice is definitely worth staying just don't stay on the ground floor.
Owner very nice and spoke good English. Staff eager to please. Pizza place next door very convenient, also has internet access... 20 minute walk (max)Tianamen Square, Forbidden Palace, Acrobat Theatre. Supermarket round the corner. Not much nightlife if you are hoping to go out after all the sightseeing.
