Beijing Hotel Guide - Historic Hotels in Beijing, China

I was downgraded at check in but the hotel was very quick in rectifying the issue. The front desk staff were very professional and indeed very helpful in advising me on the pros and cons of the city. Eileen who booked my tour for the Great Wall was the best. I was referring to her for nearly everything. She is an asset to the hotel and could easily find a job anywhere in the world with her skills.. Sadly I did not see many guests for dinner at the restaurant. Because the food was that good, I had all my dinners in the hotel. Very reasonably priced. Lunch was out and about. Room was spacious and the internet was very good.

We arrived early in the morning, welcomed by Amber and John the Ambassador and walked to our room a beautiful suite. An early check in, what a pleasant surprise after a long flight. Room service provided excellent food as did the 33 restaurant and the Writers Lounge. Raffles allowed a late checkout and arranged for car service to the airport. John, the Ambassador helped us with all excursions and was a great source of information and helpful suggestions. He and all the wonderful staff of Raffles made our stay as enjoyable as possible.

Location was good as well. Only the ng the staff spoke very little English.

I was just passing through for a couple of days and didnt really spend a lot of time choosing the hotel, this hotel ticked all the boxes and exceeded expectations. The Shadow Art performance (30 minutes) is a nice fun extra - be aware it's only 3 evenings a week. English speaking staff are available on the front desk too.

Nice hotel in Wangfujing with proximity to everything

Excellent location at walking distance from forbidden city, friendly staff and very good room. Beers, soda and water from the mini-fridge are included, as well as free bike loan.

This is a traditional Beijing house. I like it very much and enjoy the time I have spent there.

The hotel is in a great location, near to the forbidden city, Tinamen square and Wangfujing street, and a 15 minute walk from the nearest metro station. The room was fine, although not necessarily cleaned to western standards. The helpfulness of staff varied a lot; mostly the reception staff were friendly with a decent level of English, however there was one extremely rude woman, who either didn't speak much English, or pretended not to. She behaved as though any question was a tremendous inconvenience and was not willing to help with anything. The hotel tour desk was great - I booked a trip to the great wall, and the opera with them and it was professionally handled. The hotel breakfast was fine, with a lot of traditional Chinese food to try, along with some token western food. Overall, I would stay there again if I went back to Beijing.

This is one of the hotels that was better than I expected from reading others' comments. We got an internal queen room, and even with the lack of an outside window we found it nice and comfortable. The staff is nice and spoke enough English to be useful. My only complain would be that the breakfast didn't quite seem worth the 80 yuan, but it was close enough to other restaurants that we didn't need to care.
