The hotel had helpful staff who were a bit limited in English but the rooms were clean and comfortable, albeit a bit old. The location was convenient, close to cultural sites, and shopping areas. The dining options were good, with a mix of local and international cuisine. Overall, a decent value for money stay with minor room size issues.

The hotel has a slight musky/smoky smell in the rooms, but the unique skylight/sun room sitting area and big bath tub are enjoyable. The service, while friendly, lacks efficiency in addressing maintenance issues promptly. The central location near popular tourist sites is a major plus, although the dining options are a bit limited and expensive.

Staying at this hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms ranged from a little squeezy in the hostel area to a king room without a view but with a cozy skylight/sunroom sitting area perfect for enjoying a cup of coffee. The big bathtub was a great amenity, and overall, the rooms were spacious and clean. Service had its ups and downs, with the ability to speak English being a plus, but encountering issues like poor wifi and attempts to rip off by recommending 'black taxis. ' On the bright side, the staff helped us secure a table at Da Dong during Golden Week. The location was convenient, just a short stroll to Tian'anmen Square, Forbidden City, and Wangfujing shopping street, even though there were warnings about rickshaw drivers. Dining offered a decent variety despite not fully meeting European standards. Facilities were of a fair standard.

The hotel had rooms that were nothing like the photos on the website, and the windows opened into a narrow gap between two buildings, providing views into other rooms. The rooms were dark with a strange outside area featuring old furniture and scary lighting. The service was attentive but sometimes intrusive, and the location was convenient though not exceptional. The dining options were varied but not fully European as to be expected in China. The facilities were decent but nothing extraordinary.
