"The hotel is in a fantastic location. The staff are great, especially the concierge who are help to make the trip as smooth as possible... The only challenge is that the room (a heritage room in this case) was so warm. Seemed the air con wasn't working and only blowing forced air. Although the room had a balcony the door couldn't be opened to let cool air in. However, on the last day of the stay the air quality was so bad you wouldn't want the door open. Great place, just need to get the...

"What a wonderful location, 2 minute walk from the bus stop, and close to the forbidden city. Easy to find as well, just be careful as we put the wrong address in and walked to a different hotel. The hotel staff are nice, however the speak very very little english, they could not even tell us where a shop was. Room was spacious, comfy bed, places to put bags and clothes. Only downside was bathroom a bit small, only one person at a time can fit, which is not a problem, this hotel wins because of...

Hilton Beijing Wangfujing

Hilton Beijing Wangfujing

5/5 Excellent
"The hotel was in a great area, right next to a shopping mall filled with amazing restaurants and on the other side of the mall is wangfujing street. It's also a 20 minute walk to the palace museum, tianamen square, and qianmen street so probably an unbeatable location for the price range. The condition of the hotel was good. The rooms were large and comfortable, the water pressure was good, good views. My experience with the staff was fantastic. They were all very welcoming and helpful. I do want to call out Nora Liu in particular because after I found out that the great wall was sold out, she provided other fantastic options and helped me book them. She also helped me plan a great wall trip and was just overall very warm and inviting every time I saw her. I would definitely stay here next time I'm in Beijing"
