I had the pleasure of staying in this hotel when I travelled to Beijing in July, for a week. This hotel was great. Our rooms were furnished with many accessories such as hair dryers; not that we used them, TV, radio; there was English radio there, air conditioning, thank god, a mini bar and a safe. There were three restaurants in the hotel, and a massage parlour and a beauty salon. One disadvantage was there was no pool. But the views were excellent, since it was in the middle of the city, one thing that did restrict the views was pollution, not that a lot but still, but that was nothing to do with the hotel! It was situated near many western restaurants (in case you get sick of Chinese food) and the people at the desk will ring up and order pizza for you to take to your rooms for no more than it costs to buy! (Usually it costs 15% extra to eat in your room). The rooms were cleaned every day and the towels were also changed daily! The beds were comfortable and suitable for both temperature extremes that there are in China! The staff were helpful and polite and spoke good English. The foreign exchange charged hardly any commission! Basically I had a wonderful stay in this inner city four-star hotel! I would recommend it to anyone, as long as you don’t want a pool.
