East Sacred Hotel-near Beijing Tiananmen Square,the Forbidden City,Wangfujing Street-Newly renovated hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Freshly renovated hotel perfectly located"

Guo Ji Yi Yuan Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent location along Wafujing right on the pedestrian precinct. About a 10 min walk to the closest metro station but we used Didi for most of our excursions. Room was spacious and clean and the buffet breakfast was great. Always restocked with lots of options both western and local cuisine. Staff were helpful too if you needed any assistance. Would definitely recommend"

Holiday Inn Express Beijing Downtown by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"The breakfast was outstanding--an abundant variety of western and Chinese dishes that we looked forward to every day (especially the plentiful espresso, latte, and cappuccino). Laundry machine access was such a nice touch! The king room was just enough space for two people, but it was very clean and comfortable. We had all the space we needed (not more). We loved being in the downtown area in the midst of the historic cultural center and Lishi Hutong area. There was simply so much to see that we ran out of time to take it all in--which gives us plenty of motivation to return again to this same location and hotel. We loved it! We arrived around 7am, which was well before our check-in time. Staff were gracious and willing to hold our luggage until our return from pre-scheduled touring that day. Likewise, on our last day, we checked out and then left our luggage with staff until we returned from touring, retrieved our luggage, and headed to our train. ALISA provided excellent customer care for our party of four in two rooms, once helping us find information about booking an appointment with a local business, and once providing a superb restaurant recommendation for local Hot Pot. We have IHG Platinum Elite status, and she went out of her way to make our stay enjoyable. Breakfast and cleaning staff were consistently warm, helpful, and friendly. Thank you for an enjoyable and convenient stay!"
