Hotels in Beijing

"The room was great. Only the bidet did not work, but I suspect this would have been rectified, had we complained. Now the downsides: The pool is only open from 11 am on. They require you to wear a swimming cap, and nicely enough they supply some you can use. Not so nicely one of the ones they offer is (or was) white. This one nicely displays the amount of black mold that these swim caps are covered in. Utterly disgusting. They don't seem to dry or clean these caps, ever. There is a lifeguard on duty (his shirt says coach?). Sadly during our swim he decided to eat buns filled with meat in the swimming pool area, the smell was intense and not pleasant for swimming. The changing rooms were quite dirty, both the trash can and the towel hamper were overflowing and there was a smell of damp towels. The breakfast is okay. Sadly we observed a staff member using a rag to first wipe a spill on the floor, then the seat of a baby chair and then finally the table... After this we had questions about the hygiene of the hotel... The hotel is fine, just don't expect this to fulfill the European five star hotel experience."

"Apart from the renovation which we were told beforehand, the room we had was dark (probably because it was a windowless room), humid, aircon wasn’t strong but they provided a fan. Could smell urine even with the toilet seat covered, toilet door was closed, to a point that i was awaken by the foul smell. Had to spray perfume to have it barely covered. Ventilation was super bad. Cons aside, service was good, fridge in room had free drinks. Would recommend to book a window room if you had to even though friend that stayed in the window room said it was bad too. There’s a mall few minutes walk away which was a plus. Good view on the reception floor too."

"Looks like the hotel had better days. Pretty nice reception-area with tea and pond with beautiful fish. Room size was good and location is 5-10 min drive from airport. Great with 24-hoir reception! Communication was bad: Before arrival (couple of days earlier) I asked for help to book transfer to airport. I used Trip.com and also the hotel wechat. The replies was basically ”Yes” and ”okey”. (We wanted to book transport around 23.00). I also asked what terminal (2 or 3) our plane would depart from (and providing Flight -information) and I got a reply (same morning we would arrive in hotel) that they would help me figure it out. Once arriving in the hotel (around 20.00) we still had no booking of transfer, and they had not helped to find out information about terminal. The staff could not really speak English. In the end, we had to wait until the 24.00 transfer to the airport and we had to provide all information once again. The transfer was a scary experience. First of all, It was long que to drive to the airport. Instead of driving in to the roundabout leading to the terminal (2) - the driver decided to take a longer road (it would go faster then to wait in traffic jam): out on the highway, then left the highway and found a way to drive back again towards to airport (hint: could be better with a hotel on ”the other side of the airport” Considering the car ques). Since we were running out of time, the driver speeded. During the ride, it constantly called in the drivers 2 cellphones (people wanting to know where to be picked up from the airport etc.) and she kept talking in those phones while driving (fast) aggressively. The (old) minibus was cramed with both people and luggages and felt very unsafe. The short time we spent on the room we learned: wifi does not work. It is ”free” but once connected it does not work. The TV did not work. Room was okey cleaned )with bathroom smelling old and sour). For our 3 hour stay this was fine.nwould not have slept over."

"I stayed at a Siheyuan (courtyard house) near Qianmen with my child and father, and it truly felt like quintessential Beijing! First off, the location is incredibly convenient. It's nestled in a hutong on Qianmen East Street, offering a quiet escape amidst the bustling city. A short walk around the corner takes you to Qianmen Pedestrian Street, and Dashilar is easily reachable on foot. Taking a taxi to Tiananmen or the Forbidden City costs just the minimum fare, which is a huge relief when traveling with elderly parents and children – no hassle at all. Secondly, the courtyard itself is absolutely charming. Stepping through the gate, you're greeted by a classic Old Beijing Siheyuan, with its grey bricks, dark tiles, and covered walkways, all centered around a large tree. In the morning, with the sun streaming into the courtyard, enjoying a bowl of congee feels incredibly leisurely. The room, though not large, is exquisitely designed, with comfortable bedding and a bathroom featuring a separate shower and toilet, complete with a smart toilet. Thirdly, the service was wonderfully attentive. The young lady at the front desk, seeing we had elderly parents and a child, proactively helped us with our luggage. Breakfast was abundant, and they even gave us a small gift when we checked out – excellent! Overall, if you want to experience an Old Beijing Siheyuan without compromising on comfort, this place is truly ideal. It's especially perfect for families traveling with parents and children, offering both charm and convenience."

"I booked this hotel because I had an early flight and didn't want to rush. It's very close to T3, and they have a shuttle bus every half hour from 5 AM to 10 AM, which is super convenient. They even offer a wake-up call service, which is a nice touch. There are two adorable alpacas in the backyard! There are also plenty of restaurants nearby, and it's close to Xiangyun Town, so dining options are plentiful. I booked a super king-sized bed. The room itself isn't huge, but the bed is indeed massive – easily enough space for three adults. The only minor drawback is the poor soundproofing, so light sleepers should be aware of that."

"A truly perfect vacation experience. The moment we stepped into the lobby, we were met with attentive, butler-style service. The room's design was superb, with every detail meticulously cared for, even the hidden corners were spotless. The toiletries provided were also high-quality. The hotel's breakfast offered a wide variety of options and tasted great. The public areas were elegant, quiet, and offered excellent privacy, making for a truly relaxing stay. Highly recommend!"

"This hotel is my top choice for layovers. They offer complimentary airport transfers 24/7, with pickup at Gate 3 on the 4th floor of Daxing Airport. Their shuttle bus is much nicer and newer than other hotels'. The front desk service was excellent; someone immediately came to help with my luggage as soon as I arrived, which was very welcoming. The soundproofing in the rooms is fantastic; I could barely hear any airplane noise, allowing for a really good rest. The room was meticulously clean, and all toiletries were well-stocked. It's incredibly convenient for travelers with early flights. I highly recommend it and will definitely choose to stay here again next time I'm at Daxing Airport."

"This was our first trip to Beijing with the kids, and we chose the Family Suite at Sofitel Beijing. The hotel's location is excellent, just a 5-minute walk to Jianguomen subway station, making it super convenient to transfer between Line 1 and Line 2. Both the front desk and restaurant staff were incredibly attentive. Seeing that we had two children, they kindly offered complimentary breakfast for them and made every effort to accommodate our requests regarding our stay. The room itself was spacious, 80 square meters, featuring a 1.8m king-size bed and a 1.6m sofa bed. It also had a dining area with a round table and a separate relaxation area with a small coffee table. The bathroom boasted a massive circular bathtub, which the kids absolutely loved! The housekeeping staff, Zhou Xiuling, Su Nannan, and their supervisor Feng Jun, provided exceptional service. They replenished our amenities promptly and were very responsive to our needs. We'll definitely choose Sofitel Beijing again on our next visit!"

"We stayed for four nights at Manxin Hotel Qianmen Street in Beijing, and from the front desk staff to housekeeping, the thoughtful and meticulous service was evident everywhere. On the day of check-in, the front desk called us in advance to confirm our arrival, and the smart voice-controlled room was very convenient. Every time we entered or exited during our stay, the warm greetings from each staff member made us feel very welcome. The hotel's location is also very convenient; most major attractions are accessible by subway, and it's especially easy to get to the Great Wall, as the pick-up point is within walking distance. There are many old, famous restaurants near the hotel, and we tried them all this trip. The best service was definitely the 'Siji Minfu' queue-number retrieval service. After a tiring day of sightseeing, we could rest at the hotel and then head to the restaurant when it was almost our turn – it was incredibly convenient! If we visit Beijing again, we would definitely consider Manxin Hotel!"

"Our stay in Beijing was absolutely wonderful! We stayed for 13 nights straight, and we even recommended it to three other families who were traveling at the same time, and they all loved it too! Before we left, they even gave the kids some cultural tourism souvenirs! We especially loved their Fu Ruixuan restaurant! The Cantonese food was incredibly authentic! If you're from Guangdong, you'll know exactly what I mean – it's that good! My daughter must have eaten their dry-fried beef ho fun at least ten times! They even sent us complimentary fruit! Every single staff member at the hotel was so friendly, from the front desk to the cleaning staff! The swimming pool was an extra bonus! My kids said they want to stay there again next time! We also enjoyed so much delicious food in Beijing! Thank you all! The breakfast spread was also incredibly rich! Seriously, the next time I come to Beijing, I'm definitely staying there! 😌 There's also Ritan Park right next door, which was perfect for an evening stroll after dinner! The lotus flowers were beautiful! The closest subway exit is Jianguomen East, and it's a bit of a walk, but totally manageable!"
