Reviews and Ratings
The hotel rooms are spacious but show signs of wear and have a lingering smell of cigarette smoke. The construction noise from a neighboring room starting early at 7 am can be bothersome. However, the staff's willingness to assist with unexpected services was appreciated, although the lack of information on certain amenities was a downside.
I had a great stay at the hotel with excellent housekeeping and a lovely garden view from my room. The rooms were very nice, featuring large bathrooms and quality beds. The traditional massage specialist even helped fix my knee. However, the service had some communication issues with English proficiency, and a promise about the A/C was not kept.
The hotel provided a good stay with clean and spacious non-smoking rooms featuring a traditional massage specialist that helped alleviate my knee pain. The rooms were clean, odorless, and offered ample space. However, communication could be challenging for non-Chinese speakers, and initial issues with the A/C were not promptly addressed. The location was convenient for universities and public transportation but noisy due to nearby construction.
My stay at the hotel was quite pleasant overall. The rooms were spacious and very nice, although there were some concerns about cleanliness with mold and hair in the shower. The early construction noise from the neighboring room was a major disturbance for me.
I had a pleasant stay overall at the hotel. The rooms were nice and comfortable, with the added benefit of being able to smoke in the rooms and hallway. The traditional massage specialist even helped with my knee trouble. However, it was disappointing that there wasn't a double bed available for me and my wife.
I had a pleasant stay at the hotel with spacious and comfortable rooms, efficient Wi-Fi, and friendly service. The location was convenient for accessing the university campus, but noise from nearby construction was a downside. The dining experience was below expectations, and the facilities were average.
The hotel offers very nice rooms with large bathrooms and quality beds, but lacking a double bed for couples. The service is friendly and tries to be helpful but faced communication issues for non-Chinese speakers. The location is convenient for universities and the metro but not very exciting unless you enjoy a quiet campus environment. The dining options are decent, and the facilities are of good quality.
The hotel offers large and well-furnished rooms, but as a downside, smoking is allowed in both rooms and hallways. The early construction noise from a neighboring room starting at 7 am can be disruptive. The service was friendly and unexpectedly helpful in arranging transportation to the airport. The location is not ideal for exploring Beijing due to traffic congestion, although being adjacent to Peking University may appeal to some. The dining experience had varied food choices but fell below expectations. Additional piano playing sessions in the entrance hall added a unique touch to the ambiance.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The room was large and comfortable, with a great bed, but unfortunately, there was ongoing construction in the neighboring room starting early at 7 AM. The scales in my hotel room were a convenient touch, though.
The hotel offers nice rooms with traditional massage specialists that address specific needs, although the decor is dated. The service is generally friendly but may pose language barriers. Its location near Peking University and metro stations is very convenient for university visits and city exploration. The dining options are decent, primarily Chinese with a mix of basic Western choices.
