Not for western coffee drinkers
This hotel does not provide coffee/coffee maker in the rooms for coffee drinkers. There is a washer in the bathroom, but no no small travel-sized detergent package provided. If needed, you have to buy detergent in undergroud Xidan shopping center. A lot of taxi drivers are reluctant to take customer to this hotel area because of the traffic.

Beautiful and spacious, perfect for a longer stay
We were thrilled with the room, especially the laundry machine in the bathroom (we had a regular business suite), and the large soft! bed (a rarity in China). There was also a dvd player in the room which was great, the concierge was extremely helpful although their English was limited. For reference, the pool is 20rmb for use and when we visited it it was quite cool, so that was a bit of a disappointment. But overall the hotel was a great value for the price and a great location.
Traveller's tip on dining
There was a hot pot restaurant out the hotel to the right and down the stairs, which is a must-try for China visits. This hotel is also in the middle of a set of huge malls, which means more street food than fine dining, but nice and cheap if you’re going for that.

Excellent location Fantastic space
The hotel is excellently located for the airport shuttle bus and the subway. The living space is enormous for the price and the staff are courteous and polite. Food and transport are cheap but bring your own laptop if you want internet access. You won’t find an internet cafe and the price in the hotel is high. Staff don’t speak very good English except for one young fellow who was very helpful. I would certainly recommend this hotel.
Take the 919 bus to visit the great wall. Its a few stops on the subway to the bus garage and the bus then takes about 65 mins to get to Badaling. This method costs you about $5 there and back in comparison to the $75 a taxi trip will cost.
