We only stayed one night so can’t comment more generally, however the bathroom was very dirty/ mouldy. Surprising for a hotel. The room was reasonable and reflected the price - it was a basement room. I would stay again for the same purpose, but wouldn’t stay more than a night or two if I had the choice. Staff were reasonably helpful but as with many places in China, English is very limited so difficult to obtain help.

Small Old Room With Clean Bed
Room is small and looks old. However, the bed is comfortable and clean. Have a good heater to warm the room during winter. Overall, still worth to spend nights there

Great location within walking distance of major sights (Forbidden City, Tianenmen Sqaure, Qianmen Street). The hotel was quiet and clean, although very tired (shabby carpet, etc.). Still, good value for the price.The bed in my room was hard as a rock, but at least everything was clean and well-equipped. The housekeeping and maintenance staff were excellent; front desk staff not as helpful. You get what you pay for!

The property was tired to say the least. The ceiling fixture was taped together. And I'm all for a firm mattress but having the springs jab you all over made sleeping a painful experience. It felt lije I was sleeping on a box spring.

A-okay for Days Inn Forbidden city.
The hotel was okay for the price but the bed needs to be replaced. You can feel the bed springs already. We were sent to the basement room so the WiFi or data service doesn’t work. But the location is excellent, within walking distance to the forbidden city.

Ok for a brief stay
I chose this hotel because it had a lift. Unfortunately, on arrival I discovered my room did not have lift access. Room was dark and dinghy. The reception staff though were very, very helpful.

Only location is positive. This hotel is very old which need a total renovation. Carpets are really dirty, they need shampoo if not replacing. Beds are real hard, I could feel the mattress's wires. They did not have anything soft to use on top of beds. By giving concerns to front desk about the room, later everyone would be steering at us for complaining.

hotel staff at front desk are extremely rude and unhelpful, especially a lady who appeared to be the duty manager. I booked the hotel because it is an international hotel chain. But staff are clearly state owned employees who care more about their breaks than customers. Not recommended.

This room is very convenient to the Forbidden City, subways and shopping. The nightlife is very lively and as a Solo female traveler i felt very safe ad secure even at night. I was in the "basement" room. The room smelled kind of musty or rank. There is a cost for the water, so be mindful of that. I did receive cellphone coverage in the basement but WiFi was spotty. I accidentally spilled tea -regular tea- in the room and used one of my towels to clean it up. I was charged $50 rmb cause the staff claimed they could not wash the tea out of the towel. REALLY? I paid the fee and took my newly purchased towel.

Hotel staff is great made our vacation incredible. Plus they would give us the best tips you can take 60 bus to temple of heaven and if you take it the opposite way. You can go directly to drum tower and a nice lake with plenty of street food and shopping. Avoid bicycle ppl they are there to rip you off

The two best things about this hotel are its price and its location. It's located in a quiet courtyard just next to the Forbidden City and very convenient to Wangfujing (and the Wangfujing subway stop on Line 1). The hotel definitely needs a refresh -- carpets are warn and everything else looks a bit down at the heels. That said, it's more than adequate and the rooms are clean.

I cannot rate Hotel, as I did not get to stay in hotel. tried to cancel our paid week, after we got into airport as that is a far as we got. We could not get ahold of anyone whom spoke English. I had to divert my stay to Hong Kong. Beijing would not allow us to stay with a 144hour visa:(

For the price is it was perfect. It a 5 minute walk to the forbidden city, 5 minutes from the metro, 10 minutes from tianmen square. Room was a little small and in the basement but when you are out and about it’s more about having a clean place to sleep and a warm shower.

Good location near metro station, shops, many significant attractions and hutong (ally ways, to get to know older Peking living style). Excellent staff, so helpful. The first room was soaked with smoky smell that we didn't want. We then got an upgrade to a suite that was excellent, lovely bed and pillows. Next day we went to our usual booking of a double room, it was clean and good. We heard the budget room in the basement has no window, just avoid that. Otherwise the overall experience was very pleasant, and we will stay there if visiting Beijing again.

Basement and uncomfortable bed but great location
This room was in the basement. I probably should have figured that out when booking, but it was not clear. The bed was so uncomfortable I thought of leaving as soon as I arrived. Also the bathroom was moldy. The location was perfect.

Good location if you plan to visit the Forbidden City and T.A.M. Square. Dont lose your room key card. I accidentally misplaced mine and had to pay RMB 30 upon check out. The room is unusually hot and the heater won't dial down. Dirty carpet shows significant wear and tear. Bed is hard and firm.

Comfortable stay near Forbidden city.
We were a group of 3 visiting Beijing for business purpose. We booked this hotel for nearness to Tianmen square. Did not expect such excellent facility in a hutong. Pleasantly surprised with good accommodation, though the address is slightly difficult to locate.
