Advantages: very clean & comfortable, useful facilities, resonable price Disadvantages: doesnt really give you a chinese experience
...by - although i think thats how beijing is, a bit sprawly with no real centre or heart (go to xian instead!). The main block of the hotel has a money exchange (& the good thing about china / communism is you get exactly the same rate where ever you go) & gift shops - there is also at least 1 pharmacy & 1 mini supermarket on site.

Would i stay here again - YES, the only thing is I wouldnt bother going to beijing again, notg my sort of china....

The reception staff said that as it was low season...

I stayed at the Novotel Xinqiao, Beijing during a family trip to China's capital in February 2005. There were 3 of us in our party, and we had reserved 2 superior rooms for 6 nights. The total costs of this stay was a mere £360 (courtesy of ... more
I found this game pretty addictive the first time I played on it. I found the use of the nunchuck pretty hard to master at first, moving the control stick didn\'t always work properly. I overcame this pretty quickly but found the game to move pretty slow more
We have visited Toronto a couple of times and each time we have stayed at the Sheraton, it really is a fantastic hotel. Both times we have booked through Canadian affair, we have found them to be very effiecient and reasonably priced. They offer flights... more
