Advantages: very clean & comfortable, useful facilities, resonable price
Disadvantages: doesnt really give you a chinese experience

I ended up staying here through an organised tour but i dont think we were treated any differently to independant travelrs. I think the hotel is good - four buildings on one site so it can be a little confusing getting to breakfast! - clean & comfy with all the things you need in your room, friendly staff although we did ask if they would post some cards for us (as i would in any hotel) & they were happy to do so - BUT none of the 8 cards ever made ...
...bars on site (georges (or harry, some english guy anyway) - which was very dear and a TGI fridays which did grate with me as its not typically chinese but the prices are better than georges & I prefered the atmosphere (& the super-size-me cocktails!). The location of the hotel isnt that great as there didnt seem to be much of interest near by - although i think thats how beijing is, a bit sprawly with no real centre or heart (go to xian instead!). ...

Advantages: Very Central
Disadvantages: Rooms Very dated

As you walk into the lobby, you assume that the hotel will be very plush. My husband and I stayed for 4 nights and found the room to be very dated and we upgraded. I would not class this hotel as 4 star by European standards. Very good value for money though. The standard of English speaking staff was very good. We were told by higher managment at a sister hotel that the rooms were being upgraded in the near future (Probably for the Olympics). There ...
...room ask for a high floor room to avoid any traffic or construction noise. The concierge was VERY helpful when organising taxis, hire car (and driver) or trips. Lots of restaurants within the close vicinity and within 2 mins walk of the Wangfujing shopping area. 5-10 min walking distance from subway (best way to get around Beijing) 20min walk to Tiannimen square ...

Advantages: Cheap, with helpful staff
Disadvantages: pricy food (compared to outside of hostel),

...adorable courtyard. The room had red walls and a very high ceiling. The attached bathroom was OK, but pretty stinky, sewerage in China is a bit hairy. You are also not allowed to flush paper down the toilet, so leaving it to fester in a bin for a day just added to the delightful fragrance. The shower was a bit rubbish too, but I hear they all are here, so that's something we will have to get used to. The bed was firm but fairly comfortable, and the ...
...it as the weather wasn't too hot. One complaint was the level of noise. This morning some construction work started round the back of the hostel and I awoke to loud grinding. The walls were also very thin which could be irritating if you have neighbours who are late nighters or early risers. My friend was in a dorm room in the corridor by the entrance and she said it was very loud at night, and that it was annoying not being able to turn on the light ... Read review

Advantages: Raffles! Friendly staff, immaculate rooms
Disadvantages: Expensive bowling alley

...being Raffles and the other Beijing Hotel. We visited Beijing in January this year staying for six nights in the Raffles section of the hotel. You know that you are arriving somewhere nice when your taxi door is opened as soon as you get there and friendly men smile at you and welcome you to the hotel. They grabbed our cases and brought them inside for us. The reception is clean and warm (a must as it was minus five outside!!!). The staff welcomed ...
...If you are lucky enough to be in Beijing in the winter and you can get a good deal on this hotel - try Expedia or Travelocity I would fully recommend this hotel - you will be treated like a king / queen and get fat on the breakfast! ... Read review
