Hotels near Meridian Gate (Wu Men), Beijing

Cleanliness: Impeccably clean Environment: Spacious and bright Service: Warm and welcoming front desk staff; complimentary souvenir upon departure Facilities: The hotel is new and has good facilities.

The room isn't huge, but the bed is big enough for two adults and a small child. All the lights can be controlled from the bedside, so no more getting out of bed to switch them on or off. There's a nightlight, and the bathroom light is automatic – it turns on as soon as you step in. The sink is just the right size to use as a baby bath. The air conditioning cools down the room really quickly. There's also a mini-fridge in the room stocked with mineral water and sparkling drinks, which are replenished daily. The elevator requires a key card to automatically take you to your floor, and the hotel even has a few delivery robots that use the elevator by themselves. Breakfast is extensive, with fried rice, fried noodles/vermicelli, and four hot dishes every day, two types of congee, four steamers with items like buns, corn, and sweet potatoes, tofu pudding, fried dough sticks, noodle soup, wontons, various pickles, salad, and more. There's also a Western section with bread and other items I didn't pay much attention to.

The location and cleanliness are wonderful. Right next to the ”Champs Elysees” of Beijing. May I kindly suggest to add a fee to continue proposing the collecting and cleaning which is displayed on the hotel website? It is confusing for guests to see a service proposed and not performed. See hotel website and joint pic of sign to hang on door in Chinese , didn't take a pic of the basket. Also if the receptionist asks you to bring down your dirty laundry basket (placed in the room) to the lobby, it can be perceived as gross by clients as you do not bring dirty clothes in a hotel lobby. Such things are not done and not to be suggested by the receptionist. Finally, most guests on holiday are happy to pay and have laundry done. It is a service we had in other hotels in China free or paid. 2 machines and 2 driers for so many rooms is not enough. Visiting all day(Beijing is huge) and staying up to 1.30 am doing laundry in a queue is tough during holidays. This needs to be corrected or crossed out on the hotel website so clients know beforehand. Overall positive though.

Environment: The hotel is located in Dongsi Sitiao Hutong. The memory of riding a bike back with the evening breeze blowing down locust flowers will probably stay with me for a long time. Facilities: The guest room in the hutong isn't very large, but it's small yet complete with everything you need. The mattress was quite good, soft and comfortable. The illuminated makeup mirror, scale, automatic toilet, and embroidered headboard – all the facilities were pretty decent. Service: We received a room upgrade upon check-in, and they were considerate enough to grant a late check-out. They also provided a complimentary mini-bar and afternoon tea snacks. The Daoxiangcun Temple of Heaven and stone lion pastries, paired with authentic Beijing Xinyuanzhai plum juice, were quite good.

Yi Ting Zhen She Hotel is conveniently located right in Qianmen Pedestrian Street, very close to Zhushikou subway station. Downstairs, you'll find Qianmen Pedestrian Street itself, and it's also very near Dashilar, making dining and shopping incredibly convenient. Getting to the Forbidden City, Temple of Heaven, and Tiananmen Square is also quite easy, as they're not far away. While the rooms are a bit compact and don't offer much space, they are clean and comfortable.

I've stayed at Ascott many times, and it's consistently excellent in all aspects. The rooms are incredibly spacious, and the amenities like the fridge and washing machine are all fully equipped. The environment is also very quiet; you barely hear any noise. It's super convenient for dining and drinks, with plenty of restaurants nearby. There's also Xiao Taihou Park close by, and it's not far from the subway station – about a 10-minute scooter ride.

I rarely leave reviews, but this room was by far the most comfortable I stayed in during my trip to Beijing. The room is genuinely huge, and the windows are exceptionally large. I had a terrible experience at another place the day before, so moving here instantly lifted my spirits. Because I was so unhappy with the previous accommodation, I left very early the next day and arrived here around 11 AM, well before check-in time. However, the front desk still managed to arrange a room for me. They also extended my check-out time to 2 PM the next day. Since I was driving from out of town, the free parking was a huge plus. The hotel is very large, and the lobby is impressive. The service staff were excellent. The only minor downside is that the facilities are a bit dated, but they are very well-maintained and clean. The carpets throughout the room were also spotless. I was extremely satisfied. My only minor complaints are about the TV – the room is so big that it's impossible to see the screen clearly from the bed. A projector would have been amazing. Also, in the morning, when I used the bathroom, there was a gecko, which startled me a bit.

Ugh, what can I say? The hotel's location is actually quite central; getting anywhere takes about the same amount of time, and it's very convenient to access the subway loop line. Shopping and dining options nearby are also plentiful. The family room I booked is suitable for a family of three or four. The hotel's service definitely deserves full marks 💯. They respond to every request and always try their best to resolve issues quickly. However, there were quite a few issues, so to sum it up, it's like 'Lian Po is old' (a Chinese idiom meaning 'still capable, but past one's prime'): 1. The hallway has a very Chinese aesthetic, great for photos. 2. There were dust mites on the bed. My child's ears and legs were bitten. Also, the light in the room's entryway couldn't be turned off properly, among other things. Afterwards, the hotel changed the bedding, fixed the light, and even sent some complimentary fruit and small gifts (a children's toiletry bag). 3. The showerhead in the bathroom was positioned too low, perfect for my 1.3-meter tall daughter, but adults had to crouch. On the other hand, the water pressure was excellent.

I have been staying in this hotel since I came back a few years ago. It is very humane and upgraded me to a standard room on a high floor for free. I asked for a few more pairs of slippers, and they were given to me the day before yesterday. The price-performance ratio is very high. I will stay here again next time.

This hotel offers pretty good value for money, with an excellent location and affordable prices. While the facilities are a bit old, they are well-maintained. However, the customer service and the female front desk staff were quite subpar. They were unwilling to offer room upgrades or late check-outs, which was disappointing. I hope they improve, as it would be a shame to waste such a great location and the efforts of most of the other staff members.
