The hotel had a great location, making it convenient for exploring Beijing and visiting major attractions. However, my room had some significant issues, including mold and noise from the neighboring apartment building, which made my stay less comfortable. The service was friendly but lacked efficiency, as we often had trouble accessing our room. Overall, it was an average experience with both pros and cons.

The room itself was spacious but unfortunately had severe mold on the ceiling, which was quite concerning. It faced an apartment building, so I could constantly hear people chatting and spitting, which made it a bit uncomfortable.

I had a pretty mixed experience at this hotel. On the upside, the location was convenient, making it easy to explore the city. The rooms themselves were alright, but they had a strange smell and didn’t feel entirely clean. Unfortunately, service left a lot to be desired, as the staff seemed overwhelmed and sometimes even accusatory. Overall, I would say it’s decent value for money considering the location, but there are definitely areas that need improvement.

My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The location was great, making it easy to visit key sites in Beijing, but the room was a bit of a letdown—small and cold with some uncomfortable odors.

I recently stayed at this hotel and found it to be a mixed experience. On the positive side, the location is quite convenient, close to the subway and some decent restaurants. However, the rooms had a lingering smell of cigarette smoke, which wasn't ideal for a non-smoking room. The staff were friendly, especially if you know a bit of Mandarin, but there were some issues with taxi service. Overall, the value for money is decent but not without its drawbacks.
