Location is always a huge deciding factor for my wife and I when we book hotels overseas. Being our first trip to China, we wanted to be near all of the major tourist sites such as the Forbidden City and Ti'anneman Square while also keeping in close proximity of public transportation should the need to take it arise. This hotel delivers in that respect, and their staff is wonderful to work with. While only a few staff members speak English, they go well out of their way to make sure your needs are met. The only negatives we can really speak of are with regards to the rooms themselves, which could use some new carpeting and a fresh coat of paint. However, if you are like us and rarely spend any time in your room to begin with, then this hotel delivers good, reasonably priced accommodations in an excellent location.
