First off, the location is fantastic and super convenient. It's just a 3-stop subway ride from Beijing Chaoyang Station, and then a straight walk of less than 200 meters – I almost walked past it! It's also very close to Sanlitun, an easy stroll away. Secondly, the service was good; check-in was smooth, and the cleaning staff (Ayi) was lovely. Thirdly, the facilities are comprehensive. The fridge is a summer essential, the air conditioning works great, and the shower head is decent.
I forgot to request a room not at the end of the hall when I booked, and sure enough, that's exactly where I ended up. The soundproofing isn't great; I was worried my 'Xiao Du' (smart speaker) would get activated by the young lady next door calling hers. I'm not sure if it's because it's on the ground floor, but the bathroom had a musty smell, and there were occasional small flying insects. The blackout curtains aren't the best, but thankfully I'm a good sleeper.
Overall, for late June in Beijing, I'd say it offers good value for money.
