The Lakeview Hotel

The hotel staff are all very warm and attentive, especially Sister Liu Shuxiang~ She's incredibly gentle and beautiful, putting us in a good mood as soon as we landed in Beijing ^-^ The breakfast is delicious, and the environment is also very nice!

This is my second stay at the Boya Hotel, and for 999 a night including breakfast for two, it's definitely worth it. The room is spacious, and the facilities are great. Most importantly, it's very close to the East Gate of Peking University, and the breakfast is fantastic.

The room was very spacious and clean. It's just a stone's throw away from Tsinghua and Peking Universities. The breakfast was plentiful and of excellent quality.

This place is truly awful, old and dirty. There were hairs on the bed, and I had to call them to change the sheets. You could see the grime inside the sink's rim just by looking in the mirror; it felt like being in a public restroom, and I didn't even want to touch anything in the room. The front desk upgraded my room when I checked in, but seriously, your hotel is just too dirty. It's not even as reassuring as staying in a budget hotel. If I had known about the hygiene, I wouldn't have stayed even if it were free. There might have been some conference, as I had to share a table for breakfast.

Front desk managers Chen Wei and Chen Qiang were incredibly welcoming and even helped me switch to a king-sized bed room. I'll definitely be back – highly recommend!

I booked a newly renovated room, and it was indeed very new and clean. The breakfast was quite rich and varied. I especially want to mention the beef ramen at breakfast – it was incredibly springy and delicious; I could eat two bowls every time! The hotel is close to Tsinghua and Peking Universities. It's very quiet around here in the evenings with not much entertainment. If you're planning to visit the Great Wall, staying here saves a lot of time and avoids traffic jams.

The location is convenient, being close to the school. However, for over 1000 RMB, this is one of the most outdated hotels I've ever stayed in. Maybe all hotels in Beijing are like this though... It was alright, a bit old, and the heating was very strong, which might be a bit uncomfortable for people from the south. Everything else was pretty standard.

Auntie Ren provided excellent service for the room, thumbs up to her! 👍 However, this experience was truly bizarre. It was incredibly hot in Beijing, but there was no air conditioning. This meant we had to open the window, but it was still sweltering. The front desk's solutions were to offer a fan or ice. I chose the ice, but it didn't help. I woke up in the middle of the night feeling hot. Then, the next day when I went to retrieve my luggage, I found it wouldn't open. Due to a back injury, this suitcase hadn't been touched from the moment it was packed until it reached the lobby downstairs, and Auntie Ren had kindly helped me pack it. When I approached the concierge desk, the staff member immediately tried to shirk responsibility, stating he didn't do it. I understand that, but the issue still needed to be resolved. He kept deflecting blame until another young woman suggested calling an outside locksmith, which they promptly did. But while we were waiting at the concierge desk for the locksmith to arrive and deal with it, they told us to move aside because other guests needed to retrieve their luggage. There was absolutely no offer of help during this time; it was another concierge staff member who eventually assisted. Truly, it was a strange experience: no AC and a broken suitcase.
