I had a pleasant 5-day stay at this hotel. The family room for 3 guests was clean and non-smoking. It was quie (no loud talking)—much quieter than other hotels I’ve stayed at in China. But to note of the noise (some switch in the room) that dont bother us after day 1. I was pleasantly surprised to meet a few Singaporean families, and we shared travel tips while waiting for our laundry at B1.
The gym at B1 has only two treadmills, so it may not appeal to serious gym users. There are shopping malls within 50m of the hotel. The best part is that Jinyu Hutong subway station Exit B is right next to the hotel, and the underpass connects to the malls, which is very convenient on rainy days .
The front desk staff were friendly and helpful. They even gave me the hotel’s phone line for my ******* late-night orders, and the robot delivered them to our room. The Forbidden City is about 200m away—just walk straight in the direction of the Starbucks next to the hotel. Didi can drop you off directly in front of the hotel, although the drop-off point is narrow.
Overall, it is a great location and a comfortable stay.
