Hotel Kunlun - Beijing, China 

Nice hotel, but terrible location

Overall, the Kunlun Hotel is a nice hotel in terms of quality and price point. But the hotel's location is not the greatest. It is far from everything that is remotely interesting or fun such as the markets and touristy sights such as the Forbidden City, Tiannamen and Wangfujing. But if you are a tourist, stay somewhere in the city centre (Wangfujing or around the major sights), as traffic is horrible and public transportation is not an option for tourists unable to communicate in Mandarin.

no character nor charme

Unfortunately this hotel was not up to my expectations. First of all you can't leave the place at night to go for a quiet walk without being pestered by all sorts of touts, prostitutes and beggars and once you have passed this crowd , there is not much to see in this far out area, next to a very important highway. the service in the hotel is neither attentive nor particularly friendly, you often have the impression the staff would rather be somewhere else..some exceptions to the rule like jessica from reception and the the ladies from housekeeping. maybe its the management thats doing something wrong, but i really think this hotel is neither up to its reputation nor its room rates.
