Staying at the K Hotel ChangAn was a great experience for my family of 4. It's conveniently located close to a subway station and many restaurants. The free to use laundry machines were very useful, and the on site breakfast was amazing. Very clean, quiet and well managed. I plan on staying here again when I return.
