Where to stay in Beijing Municipality
Beijing Municipality hotels & accommodations

Staff were very helpful in setting up the use of my own laptop instead of using the more expensive computer provided by the hotel. I was a little undecided about the question of being 58 hotel or not. Most things are excellent, but location is not as good as The Beijing Hotel, Raffles and Grand Hotel etc. on Chang'an Avenue at the other end of Wangfujing Street. Breakf...

Superb 5-star standard, alot of staff on the ground and always looking out to see what you need. They are also innovative to help use a taxi booking app for your needs instead of letting you stand at the lobby for the elusive passing by taxis like most hotels do. Room is large, bed very comfortable and housekeeper always available; just flick your switch and they wil...

Literally at the center, right next to Wangfujing Shopping Street! So many stores nearby even souvenirs can be bought inside the hotel. The staff are not very good in english but they're very courteous and honest. We dropped my son's thermal jacket in the elevator and it was returned to us in more than 5mins when we arrived at our room. Just little concern about the t...

I got room 404 so it faced the street which was good. It was Bamboo Comfort Room so a step up from the standard room. A good place to rest up if you have spent time out in rural China which I did. This place is excellent as it is near subway to airport and near to Lama Temple area. It is also next to large shopping center Raffles that has a supermarket that sells weste...

the hotel is really nice. it is new, and well kept. the breakfast is great, can not be much better. the vip floor does worth the extra money you pay for it. mini bar in the room is very very expensive, like most hotels in beijing, and way more expensive, then most countries in the world. location is great, can not be much better then that. it is right near the ol...

Stayed for one night as resting point after arriving to Beijing. Hotel is modern. Room was big and heating was fine. Price for the stay was definitely worth it for a resting point, I would not stay there to stay. Check-in/Check-out was straight forward. The location was walking distance to places to eat, but definitely not catered for tourism in central Beijing and bet...

Enjoy the ideal vantage point from this five-star Beijing hotel, located in the heart of the city. Situated on Wangfujing, within walking distance of The Forbidden City and Tiananmen Square, Grand Hyatt Beijing is part of Oriental Plaza – one of China’s largest commercial complexes – with direct access to the adjacent shopping mall. Wangfujing Street, located next to t...

All the employees at the front desk speak English and know their jobs well. They are also generally helpful. My only beef is that they rarely smile and all look so busy and stressed with work which is in contrast to employees of other hotels in other Asian countries and even in other parts of China. I’ve travelled to a lot of other Chinese cities and the general aura o...

The Jianguo Qianmen Hotel is a great place to stay in Beijing. Try to get a room rate price that includes breakfast, which could well be the best value meal of the day. Rather than eat at the over-priced restaurant, try the small street corner restaurant that is some 5oo metres from the hotel on the same side of the road - turn left as you exit the foyer. Spend the mon...

Impressive service, all staff feels you like caring only you. This hotel is just in the down town area, front of the hotel there is subway station which can take you every where even to connect you airport shuffle train. Swiss hotel is just 5 min walking distance from CBD area and take you easily main touristic attraction places. You will feel very safe and fast servi...

It's smart to stay close to the airport if you need to catch early flights. We arrived in Beijing very late that night because the flight was delayed, and we need to take another one in the other morning to US. Thanks for the location of Hilton Beijing Capital Airport Hotel, saving us lots of time and avoiding traffic. The best thing about this hotel is the location, e...

The location is excellent, is only 5 minutes walk to the MRT, surrounded by many great eating places within minutes walk, such as famous Beijing Roast Duck, "Quanjude", Stream boat restaurant, "Hai Di Lao", "Dong Lai Shun" etc. and many other small shops. If you want to eat western food, there is a 24 hours Mcdonald outlet just opposite the hotel, and a Pizza outlet. B...

It was really great experience to stay at the Conrad Beijing. Especially, I very much like the interior design of the room and also of the Breakfast restaurant. The location of the hotel was excellent as it situated closely to Sanritun area where you can easily find nice bars or restaurants.

We booked a superior room, and it was a great surprise! Room was excellently clean and spacious enough for us both, and amenities are complete! Hotel management really give excellent service with great attention to details. There was just no central heater but hotel readily provides extra blankets if requested, clearly it was not an issue for us. The different kind...

This is my third time staying at the Ming Courtyard. They are my go-to hotel in Beijing. I always meet great people, and have a great time. The location is super convenient, between Dongzhimen Station (bus and line 2) and Beixinqiao (line 5), with lots of good food. The hutong had been paved, so now it feels a lot cleaner, and a lot of new businesses are working their ...

Stayed with Raffles Beijing Hotel for 2 nights and found that this hotel is one of the best I have stayed in... The price is considered at the reasonable, but there is no regret for it... Location is great, just beside Wangfujing Walking Street and also shopping malls around it. Definitely not an issue to shop and dine if you stay in this hotel. Within walking distance...

The location is quite good (although still a bit of a walk from the metro and not that easy to find if you're quite new to China. The room was quite good and also included a towel and some other toiletries, that's great. The building in itself is a nice, historical building of typical Beijing architecture. The toilet and shower room could have benefited from being reno...

My favourite hotel in Beijing in recent years. Room is spacious and cozy. Location is quite central. However, it is not so convenient as it is close to many places but not close enough for walking, and it is not far enough that one will feel comfortable to take taxi to all the time. Bike is ideal. Country kitchen is great.

This hotel is the best designed hotel I’ve been to. Not only aesthetically but also ergonomically. Their packaging for bathroom amenities was a very pleasant surprise. We loved the quirkiness they inject into their designing. The breakfast is also something to look forward to. ( Opt for the east menu) The staffs were very responsive and friendly. Yes, pricing is on...

Trendy, modern CBD hotel just recently opened. I was a little nervous because there were so few reviews so far but I need not have worried. Reception staff were professional and courteous and check in smooth. My room was awesome. Lots of little touches made it special. Fantastic comfy bed, flat screen TV, fruit bowl, amazing view over the CBD. Bathroom was lovely and I...

Before reaching Beijing I fully uploaded all the apps like Didi..Chinese Uber and other apps but the problem I faced is how to use them. After dealing and talking with so many people in reception finally I found the right person Potter who went out of his ways to make sure all my apps are working on my both cell phones Iphone 7 and Moto 4. After Potter fix my apps pro...

I was looking for a hotel in Beijing that is close to the airport and city center. Hilton Beijing Hotel fits these criteria. The hotel offers international standard, the staff is friendly and helpful. The hotel gym is very functional with a good choice of working out equipments. I will return to Hilton Beijing Hotel for my next trip.

The location is super convenient, between Dongzhimen Station (bus and line 2) and Beixinqiao (line 5), with lots of good food.

If you are looking for a clean cheap quiet place to sleep then look no further. However, if you want some sort of social activity, this is definitely not the place. There's no longer any common area nor dining hall. So you're kinda stuck in your rooms. Front desk staff were terribly unhelpful and ignorant so don't expect any assistance from them for any matter.

The hotel is located in an alley in a traditional Hutong area (Xinxi Hutong) but is not hard to find. We stayed in a private room for 3 nights and 1 night in a dorm. Both rooms are clean and orderly. There are lots of international tourists around so we did not feel isolated. The staff speaks English well and is very friendly. Going around the city is very convenient a...

My boyfriend and I (mid 20's) had a great time here. I did a ton of research in picking a place to stay in Beijing, and it certainly paid off. We were in one of the rooms off of the lobby, but we were there in November so there weren't too many other travelers for it to be loud like some other reviews report - we brought ear plugs just in case, but didn't need them. ...

Booked and paid for a room with a queen bed because I am rather tall and sleep diagonally, got one with two single beds instead. Nice in retrospect because i had two of the rather thin blankets. 11°C in the room, no heating, warm water only at certain times (evening=yes, morning=no). Checkout time 12:00, people knocking on my door yelling it is time to check out at 11:...

P Loft is a standard backpacker with a lot of room options - you definitely can pay more for a single room, but the 6 bed dorm is best value for money at 60yuan a night, a basic bunk with good wifi. Location is next to Yonghegong Lama temple, many restaurants in the area and convenient to the subway and most central lines. The hostel is a renovated factory, but it is ...

The location of the hotel was great. I had a double en suite which very basic but good to use a base while visiting Beijing. They couldn't provide coffee when asked but you can get a cold drink at least. My room was in the little courtyard but the hostel doesn't allow noise in the communal courtyard after 10pm so you get no noise so that was good. Food wise i didn't tr...

By far the best place I stayed (of many) during my visit to Beijing!! The people running the accommodation are the nicest and most kind I met in any accommodation so far! The community room is very cosy with soft couches to chill and a big table to eat and to socialise with other guests. I met some very nice other guests here from many different places and ages. The pr...

Lao Zhang and his family are wonderful. To reach the house from Beijing center takes around 3h but their hospitality makes it worthy. I took bus nr 919 from Beijing until Yanqing and he came to pick me up by car. I was really well received and Mr. Zhang 's wife cooks amazing food. His mother even took me to visit Yongning town and bought me a hat to protect me from the...

If you want to start your hike of The Great Wall at Gubeikou I 100% recommend this place. It was very convenient and walking distance to the wall. The host spoke perfect English and was very helpful the entire time. The have a lot of cats which is awesome unless you're allergic. I stayed in a dorm room but had the entire room to myself. Great facilities and amenities t...

I totally loved my stay here...the overall look is by far the best i have stayed at in a hostel..... The pictures posted are the same..... Location is really excellent....walking distance to the subway, wangfuging, and a couple of stations away from the railway station, tourist spots, etc., On my next visit yo Beijing im looking forward to stay here

The hutong area is phenomenal: old world charm, new world delights (like Peking duck wraps!) in the center of Beijing, and a bustling atmosphere. The hostel is an oasis of calm. They make exquidite floral arrangements in the common area that fill the hostel with the fragrance of germs and flowers. The attached restaurant is one of the prettiest spaces I've seen. On top...

This hostel was the worst hostel I've ever staid in my life. I strongly recommend another hostel if u don't want to suffer Bed-bug bites. I've stayed here for 3days there was no one who could speak english. And also I saw some bugs on my bed, but I didn't care about it. I thought it was not harmful insect. But on the last night I woke up because of the itchiness and ...

For the pros: Angela speaks english and helpep us plan our hike on the Great Wall...the hike was fantastic! The Inn is a 5 minutes walk to Gubeikou Great Wall ticket entrance and is incredible playground for kids (the best in China so far). The Inn has full amenities and have an excellent restaurant where you eat the meal of the day (always different). The cook is grea...

Zhang is very nice person and helpful in many ways. We are grateful for his excellent service taking us back & forth where we going one place to another. We enjoyed his company and looking forward to be back next year! Thank you for all your help!

This is a great place. The hosts are extremely friendly and could not do enough to make our stay (with two small boys) comfortable and shuttled us to and from the wall. I also recommend not bringing any food with you and get them to cook for you. Cheap and really delicious. The only reason the facilities aren't top marks is there is no pool and it was really hot whe...

Hotel close to airport. Staff were very helpful, immediately whipping out the cell phone translation app to cover my lack of Chinese language. Breakfast available on site for 18 yuan Many restaurants within walking distance Found that a taxi from the hotel to the nearest Beijing transit station was the go

I enjoyed it here. It is about a 5-10 minute walk to the metro (Ping'anli Line 6). My room was good for 150 RMB, however I didn't have a bathroom or shower and had to take a shower on the 3rd floor and use the shared bathroom on my floor. But, I paid 150 RMB (about $24) for the night, so this was to be expected. The manager from Hebei was friendly and professional ...

Hanting Hotels are all over China. This was my first time ever staying at one. I will say that I was surprised by how nice my room was. It was very comfortable, the extra spent on a better room was well worth it. Check in and check out were very quick. The staff were friendly even with their limited English. The location is a decent walk to the nearest subway, bu...

I enjoyed my stay. This hotel is very far from downtown. But it was what I needed; away from the city. It’s 2-3 minute walk from the station. There’s a lot of stores in the area. Nice bed, great air conditioning, nice shower, complimentary water and tea and great wifi! There’s only one thing that bothered me. And that is the lady at the reception. She’s not to accommo...

Literally 2 seconds walk from hotel to Sanyuanqiao train station. You can catch airport express to hotel cost 25Yen. I was a bit nervous booking this hotel due to the fact of bad reviews from previous guests. In my opinion demanding and unreasonable guests I can say they deserve bad service. I booked premier executive room, on checking was upgraded to executive suit! ...

There's a good fitness center with a nice pool they charge for internet at the business center, breakfast is plentiful with a lot of options form oriental and western cuisines. I highly recommend this hotel to families, business people and couples that want to enjoy getting away from it all in Beijing.

after staying at several hotels in beijing, we have decided that this is the best one for value for money. also customer service in china is nothing to shout about, however every member of staff at this hotel was friendly, kind and helpful. not once did anyone make us feel like we were unwelcome (as many hotels in china have). it has several large buildings all wi...

As stated in one of the reviews below, I was looking for a hotel that offered a comfortable stay, but did not have the rates of a 5 star hotel. Hotel Kapok is one of them. The location is hard to fault, just 5 minutes' walk from Wangfujing, and 5-10 minutes' walk from either Tiananmen East Station, or Wangfujing station (Tiananmen East is slightly nearer). There are al...

I love this hotel. I have stayed here twice and would choose to stay here again if I was passing through Beijing again. The hotel is right in the middle of the Hutongs and in a perfect place for exploring the little alleys that make up this district. It's also very close to the metro for easy access to the rest of the city. The rooms are quirky and traditional. The a...

We were traveling with our 10-month baby for the first time in Beijing and was looking for a hotel nearby Qinghua University. We were impressed with this hotel because of its affordability, luxurious comfort, accomodating and attentive staff and service, and the variety of gourmet food in the restaurant as well as its in-room breakfast for saving time. The only thing ...

- Room size: decent for couples - Room hygiene: really clean & cleaning service does the job great everyday - Bed: the best hotel bed we've seen in Beijing, Guangzhou and HK; clean, soft & high quality sheet set - Front desk: helpful only if you approach them first; staffs not good at English; if you ask using very simple English, they can help you. - Location: close t...

I was moved to this hotel by agoda because the hotel I originally chose was overbooked. I was given a room on a high floor that had a view of the forbidden city and beihai park, I spent hours just sitting by the big windows of my room just staring at the view. Transportation is also easy because the bus station is very near and taxi/uber driver knows the hotel. Locatio...

I was stuck at the Beijing airport with a canceled flight and a group of 6 students. The CITIC provided inexpensive rooms for us, with a very convenient shuttle to/from the airport. The hotel was nicer than expected, with several restaurants, a bar with live band, swimming pool, and a very nice gift shop. The staff were friendly, and spoke English. If I ever need a lay...

i chose this hotel cause it is virtually next door to beijing international exhibition center where i had some business and have to roll a heavy pelican case with my equipment every day there and back. this is world recognized brand hotel, so you receive a decent western type service not available everywhere in china. hotel is located 5 min walk from carefour supermark...

I absolutedly loved this hotel. I've stayed at quite a number of large hotels in Beijing, and, even though this is a four star hotel, it beats most of the five-star hotels I've stayed in hands down. I stayed in a loft on the 16th floor. The room was huge and is more than enough to comfortably accommodate 2 people. The rooms were also clean, and room service was v...

Me and my boyfriend stayed in this hotel September 2019 for almost two weeks. The location is really good, it's located right next to the russian market in 'russia town'. Since I've lived in Beijing for several years before, I was familiar to the area. Before we booked this we read a lot of comments saying service was bad and the staff only spoke chinese/russian. Since...

After checking out of the hotel we planned to stay in (dirty, gross) In the wee hours of the morning and making a reservation for the Artyzen we were amazed that they allowed us to check in at 0830 with no extra charge so that we could get some much needed rest! The location isn’t great but if you don’t mind walking 1k to the metro it’s just fine. The restaurant is d...

Very convenient to airport for an overnight stay before that early morning flight out of Beijing. Hotel appears under utilised, but late December I guess is not peak tourist period. The Club L level is very well appointed with pool table, free use of Mac and Windows PCs, also conference facilities available. The executive lounge serves breakfast for the Club L level...

Stayed in a room with executive access. Room was good if not a little dated in terms of decor. Exec club wasn't as generous as other Beijing hotels (Sofitel, Hilton, Westin)...it had fruit and basic snacks and local beer and heiniken, tea and coffee available all day but wines spirits were only available for a limited time in the evening which I found surprising. Other...

Everything was good. We didn't want to be in the center of Beijing but we wanted a nice, well-furnitured room. Doubletree by Hilton Beijing Hotel was a perfect match. It made us comfortable, soothing, relaxing. You can go to shop in near shopping mall area, Xidan. Even, the building next to Hotel is the shopping mall. I strongly recommend this hotel!

Hotel Eclat Beijing is a wonderful option for anyone living in Beijing or traveling to Beijing. It is located in a shopping mall which makes it all the best as you just walk through the lobby and then you can enjoy restaurants and great stores around you. The facilities are wonderful, especially the massage chair in your room. The staff were friendly and helpful, some...

Poor service! The hotel staff not helpful and friendly and poor English. Can't believe I was only given a paper cup,plastic bowl and wood chopsticks when eating at the hotel cafe! Nothing to eat and buy around the hotel, even if you want to buy a bottle of water, you need to walk half of an hour! I will never stay at this hotel again and will not recommend to my friend...

Service was fast and friendly, unlike many other "top" hotels in Beijing. Gym is excellent, with lots of room for stretching, barbells, dumbbells, TRX, pullup station, etc. Pool looked great as well. Air was very clean inside the hotel. Buffett is tasty without totally busting the wallet, dinner was 370-something RMB. Location is good, easy to get in and out. I would c...

The check in was great and it is always a pleasure to be greeted by the hotel manager. Check in was quick and easy and the service is unique. Would recommend this hotel to my friends. I stayed at the Beijing Hotel and the Long Palace wins hands down over Beijing Hotel

Travel Tips for a Smooth Journey

ATMs are widely available, and many banks offer currency exchange services, ensuring you can access funds as needed.
Lastly, be mindful of cultural etiquette. For instance, when visiting temples or local homes, it's customary to remove your shoes. Respecting local customs and traditions will enrich your experience and foster positive interactions with the people of Beijing. With these travel tips in mind, you’ll be well-prepared to enjoy all that this incredible city has to offer.
