    The units are tastefully decorated, neat. The very very good breakfast offers local food: breads and fruit. The staff are knowledgeable and very helpful, no complains at all...

    As a gluten-free traveler, I had plenty of options at the buffet and the restaurant manager was very helpful with my meal for the plane ride home. The hotel room was comfortable, clean, and provided a smoking area. The breakfast selection was excellent, offering both Chinese and Western options, including an egg and noodle station. The staff at the hotel went above and beyond to assist guests, even helping with taxi arrangements and ensuring their safety. The hotel's proximity to the Palace Hotel and Wangfujing shopping street made it convenient for dining, shopping, and exploring. The mini fridge in the room also had complimentary local beers and soft drinks.

    I felt so comfortable during my stay that I have no reason to complain.

    Great, quiet location directly at the forbidden city. Friendly, helpful staff. Free room upgrade on the first day.

    No door to the bathroom, which in many ways limits the comfort. Exterior cladding creates a prison atmosphere. Food refill at the breakfast was very slow. Metro station quite far away, but bus connection to Tiananmen is just around the corner.

    The location next to the Forbidden City and near the Wangfujing Shopping Street is unbeatable. Large, modern rooms. The glazed bathroom can be closed with curtains. In our category very quiet non-smoking room with courtyard. Free minibar with beer and soft drinks, which is refilled daily! Especially friendly and attentive staff, all of whom speak proper English. We have purchased online tickets for the Forbidden City (highly recommended!). Gladly again!

    All is well

    Breakfast (regarding the offer English or Continental breakfast) for a Chinese hotel very good and extensive. The proximity to the Forbidden City and pedestrian zone is very good. Hotel is quiet. There is no street noise. Quite good: some rooms on the third floor have a terrace with a bamboo grove.

    Instead of walls, the shower, toilet, etc. are separated from the rest of the room (corridor) by glass panes. The curtain in front of the windows is not always practical.

    The Hotel is excellently situated. Walking to main shopping, Forbidden City, Tiannamen Square. Excellent and very cheap Chinese restaurants directly opposite the hotel. Dinner for 2 including 2 beers for $12.00 . The hotel is modern, clean and small enough to treat you as an individual. Very strongly reccomend.

    I had a wonderful stay at this luxurious hotel. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, making me feel welcome from the moment I arrived. The location of the hotel was fantastic, with easy access to nearby attractions such as the Forbidden City and Wangfunjing shopping street. I loved being able to explore the area on foot and soak in the character of the neighborhood.

    I highly recommend this hotel to friends and family.
