Pleasant surprise... accomodations in Chinese Room very pleasant. Only problem was low lighting (difficult for putting on make up). Clean, no difficulty with obtaining extra towels when needed. Enjoyed the proximity to Forbidden City, etc. Short cab rides away from other attractions. Beds firm but not uncomfortable. And loved to walk the real Chinese streets, especially the one north of the hotel. Tried several restaurants in the district and no problem with language, you just point to the picture and laugh with the staff when they watch you use the chopsticks. Dining room appeared to be buffet, so you had to pay for all (not to bad). we didn't ask to see if we could order ala cart. But we enjoyed the street restaurants so much it didn't matter. One warning, watch the tours (and the cab drivers). There are several low cost ones, but found we spent more time at the 'museums and shops' than at the attractions. And yes, you are pressured in to buying. Just stay firm. Stuff is cheaper at the markets and you can bargain more. One tour promised us the Ming tombs but were taken to a side sections with little to see. Drove by the real spot after and wish we had insisted on going there, because we ended up somewhere in or near the Olympic Village getting 'free' foot massages and lots of pressure to buy 'secret' Tibeten herbal soaks by so called Tibeten doctors who could read our palms. would rather have seen the tombs and payed for my own massage later. Would stay here again unless we wanted to try something different in another area. but definitely appreciated the low cost and proximity to what we wanted to see.

il servizio e' mediocre, la tranquillita' delle stanze e' ok, la colazione fa molto a desiderare, sopratutto il caffe'....

My first time in Beijing. The location is great (near the Forbidden City) so I don't think the cost ($60/night) was terribly high. Having read several critical reviews of this hotel beforehand I was pleasantly surprised at how nice and spacious the room actually was and at how helpful the staff was. A slight criticism that I have is that the breakfast choice (the cost is extra) is limited to Chinese style buffet breakfast, and in the morning sometimes I like a small breakfast.
