We not recommended to choose this hotel. I think that for this price in Beijing (not Paris or other expensive town) it is a trap for tourist who reserve by internet. The hotel is not centrical, it is localized in a small street (called "hutong") so the taxi driver most of the time does not find it at the first time. The service is normal. For that price of this hotel, the shower gel, shampoo and soap should be available for free. Real juice fruit will be appreciated on the morning. More occidental stuff like cake or bread would be appreciated too.
The air-conditioning in the room is localized directly above the head of one of the bed. So it is perfect to caugh a cold during the night!!
none
hotel without bath necesity : shampoo, soap or shower gel. For the high price of this hotel (for Beijing) we expected to find this kind of basics stuff. The stuff was on sale at the reception...
The bathroom was a mess. Without any curtain for the shower so the bathroom become a lake after a shower. We needed to expect 30 min to get hot water. We were two in the room and had only one access card, so it was not possible to go out and in by different ways. "Occidental" breakfast was poor, not elaborated and we had no choice, orange juice was not real but some podwer dissolved in water.

We stayed there during the olympic games. It could be assumed that it was more expensive then normal. Nevertheless, considering the Olympic Games, the price was reasanable. Staff was very friendly, breakfast was oK. Size of the rooms could be a bit larger, but only for sleeping it is fine.
Located near a subway station and bell tower and the national stadium.
Hotel is located in a nice Hutong, very quite. Very friendly staff.
small bathroom.
- Sightseeing/Attractions Tip : near bell tower
