Sunworld Dynasty Beijing Wangfujing Hotel (The Forbidden City)

Excellent location, near to most sites. Hotel is clean and lounge is great benefit. Executive booking allows late check out at 4pm too

We stayed at this hotel for our first ever trip to Beijing. The location is great for walking distance to The Forbidden City and Tianmen Square, however the DiDi (chinese uber) system is so affordable that the location is not a problem in general, unless you have very little time in the city. Didn't use the metro once... We stayed at the 10th floor, Executive room with benefits. You ge free snacks and a soft drink, I think twice a day, however the service schedule didn't align with ours so we didn't use these benefits. I wouldn't recommend booking the Executive room for these benefits alone, unless you are spending a lot of time at the hotel. However the breakfast was included in this room type which was worth it. The breakfast selection varied and every morning there was something new. The hotel has a spa that we tried. Our experience with the spa wasn't really that good. We booked a last minute 60min chinese couples massage (the spa operates until late at night which is a plus) but the staff ended up using some of our treatment time selling us a more expensive massage, even mid treatment!! The language barrier with the spa staff made it hard to communicate. In the end we paid 95€ each!! for a 60min oil massage. A complete rip off for the value in my opinion but I guess hotel prices are what they are... The spa also has a sauna and a swimming pool, be prepared to have a swimming cap if you wish to use it as it is mandatory. The sauna itself is more like a steam room. Staff was friendly, Nova at the reception desk was especially delightful. On the whole, we enjoyed our experience at this hotel but for future stays would book somewhere closer to night markets such as Qianmen St. Pro tip! If you have a short stay and plan to visit the Great Wall (we booked the Jinshanling tour which was beautiful and not at all crowded) the company ZanBus starts its tours from a near Regent hotel parking lot, which is about a 10 minute walking distance from the Sunworld Dynasty. As the tour starts early in the morning it was great to be able not to stress about getting to the meeting point. Now off to Shanghai! ➡️🚄

We had a great stay. Check in was easy and the location is perfect. Walking distance to the forbidden city and next to a shopping center. The road to the south west of the building is all shops and blocked off to vehicles which is great.

A nice n comfortable hotel in a great location. Will recommend others to stay n will stay again for my next visit to Beijing.

We really enjoyed our stay at this hotel. Check in and out we’re super fast and staff spoke English. We had executive room which included access to the lounge twice a day with snacks and drinks. We only used it twice but it was helpful. The location of the hotel is right near the walking street. The room was spacious and the bathroom was traditional room with sink, bath and shower with the sliding door which was nice change from other types of bathrooms we experienced in China. There were some toiletries provided. The breakfast room is massive and stunning and the breakfast had large variety. There were stations for pancakes and waffles, omelettes and eggs, as well as noodle soups, middle eastern and Korean food. The coffee machines produced relatively good coffee. The concierge was helpful. Strange things were unplugging our phone chargers every time the room service was done and not cleaning the cups and leaving them with tea from last night. The sink was not draining well. All else was great.
