Find Hotels in Jianguomen & Railway Station, China

Pros: Very very very nice staff, private check-in and front desk for the suite floor, so it was very quick and accommodating. Nice little private room on the suite floor where you can sit and enjoy some coffee while looking at the view or reading a book in the comfy seats. Also, the hotel is connected to a shopping mall and some restaurants, so it's very convenient. There are also some grocery stores where you can pick up some cheap local foods and toiletries, etc. Also, the railway station and the subway is a stone's throw away, so it's very convenient for the adventurer. Cons: No hair dryer, very few toiletries provided. You need to call in every time you need soap, bath gel, etc. There are condoms and a toiletry kit available in the bathroom, but they are not free. The water pressure was also not very good and the water temperature from the shower head fluctuates from cold to hot while you're taking a shower.

We were delighted with this hotel. It is a few minutes walk from Jianguomen subway station which is on lines 1 & 2 so makes getting around very easy. Subway is super easy to use ( with signs in English) as well as being quick and cheap. We chose a duluxe twin room which had 2 firm queen size beds - probably the most comfortable beds I have ever had in a hotel. Nice white cotton sheets. The room was really spacious and had coffee & tea making facilities as well as 2 complimentary bottles of water each day. There was a mini fridge - the mini bar stuff was very expensive but handy to have the fridge available. The bathroom was large with a free standing bath and a large walk in shower with good pressure and hot water. The staff were friendly though their English isn't great - they are happy to give it a go and they did successfully book us the taxi to the airport on the way home. There were good places to eat nearby - best to choose the Formica table ones full of locals.

The hotel is new hence many taxi drivers did not know the place. It is near the Beijing Railway station, about 300 to 350 metres, and halfway point between two subway stations, the Beijing Station subway and Jianguomen Station (about 200 meres). The rooms are tastefully decorated and big, the concierge were all very helpful, eventhough when some don't understand English, they do try to help.
