Find2-Star Hotels in Beijing

This place was nice and cosy. It was the perfect size for our family of 5 (2 adults + 3 children 8,4,2) huge bathroom upstairs and a washing machine downstairs in the other washroom. Was clean and tidy upon arrival :) We chose this place to be within the 5th ring for our private transfer to the Great Wall. It has a little convenient store just outside the building. It is also within walking distance to shops/restaurants and a plaza too. Communication with host was all done through WeChat and the instructions given were easy to follow. Even when I was unsure of something, I was able to contact the host easily and they were able to answer my questions and queries in a timely manner. Only con I had was the smell of smoke throughout the building but that did not effect our stay too much! Also couldn’t quite understand how to use the tv/projector, but didn’t bother us too much either as we were out most of the day, and was just wanting it in the evenings to unwind :)

We are 2 friends and both are new to Beijing and let alone China. We are first time here. For me the room is great enough, light was all working fine. The toothbrush and soap provided but need to get from reception. I was using iPhone so I cannot use the WiFi as it only works with Android due to firewall. Location wise I think it is easy to find even with Google Map. For those using Metro, Dongsi Station Exit G is the nearest one, while Exit D is the second nearest. Two main metro line to Dongsi Station is Metro Line 5 & 6. But we normally use line 6 because it is nearest to Exit G. The area is close to Forbidden Palace, you can get there with one change of metro service. When I went to Forbidden Palace, I did go there using Metro then walk back as it is only around 1.6km walking after the Exit at Forbidden Palace and took about 20 minutes walking. I did use Baidu map to walk to the hotel from Forbidden Palace and you will take short cuts which will end up at the back of Renaissance Hotel. Tips : mark the hotel in Baidu map so you can easily get the map working especially if cannot speak Chinese like me. On Dongsi West St there is National Art Museum and it is free. I did went there alone after checkout, there are 6 floors of exhibits there. Walk to Wangfujing shopping st would take you around 15 minutes. The famous Prime Hotel Beijing is like 5 minutes walk from the hotel. Not much to do at night as shops literally close early at around 8PM to 9PM except for McDonald’s which close at 11PM like 5 minutes walk from hotel. There is a mosque near hotel if you are Muslim like me but the mosque is a bit run down and closes its door and you need to ask the caretaker to open the door if you want to pray. Overall I’m satisfied with the hotel which I think is very basic and fits our budget. I wish there is a cupboard inside the room for us to hang out clothes and fridge. The toilet however is spacious and hot water can only be used for 20 minutes then we need to wait again for 30 minutes for it to replenish which is a problem if there are a lot of people to take shower at same time. Improvement for hotel : 1 Put small cupboard in room for guest to hang clothes. 2 Change the curtain as it is very old and looks like not wash for long time. 3 Better if room has small fridge for guest to store food. Getting there : Metro from took like 50 minutes with 3 changes in metro line. For me it is very easy, and cheap cost like 40RMB in Alipay. Overall the surrounding maybe take 2 days for you to be familiar with but I think it is good enough as there are McDonalds, Luckin coffee and also bakery near the hotel like 5 minutes walk. Small convenience store is there in the back alley but close like at 8PM. Reason I chose this hotel : 1 Your taxi can get there straight in front of hotel as it is not in Forbidden Palace area where some place taxi cannot get in and you need to carry your bag through busy street 2 Easy access as you walk 10 minutes from Dongsi Station Exit G/D to get to hotel 3 Near Dongsi mosque if you want to pray if you’re muslim 4 Very quiet area as a bit far from Forbidden Palace area or Wangfujing 5 Lots of shops to eat and cafe on Dongsi N st or Meishuguan E st near the Prime Beijing Hotel 6 A few halal muslim restaurant for you to eat if you are picky eater and not familiar with convenience store food 7 When go out of hotel turn left at end of the Dadoufu Ln there is small convenience you can buy food but close early around 8PM.

The overall cleanliness was amazing, however, the front desk wasn't quite friendly. They seem as if they didn't really have the energy nor the intention to reply to any questions and all responses were extremely vague. The housekeepers on the other hand were really kind, unlike the receptionists. My stay also had slight inconveniences as the place was under construction at the time (not sure about now). To sum up, I wouldn't recommend this hotel to anyone.

Zhihexing you hostel is great! The staff are very helpful with anything we needed, including setting up the address of their local delivery service, on my phone. As well as answering any questions to the guests, etc. The room I'm staying in is a small single room that's very cute. Tons of light coming in and little woods and leaves 🍃 on the ceiling to give it an outdoor feel. Bathrooms are nicely divided and are not at all stuffed together but have a great division so that you have your privacy and never have to wait for a toilet or sink. At the moment toiletries are not provided, but if they ever change that then it would be much better and great. Location is great for the 4th ring area, lots of things around. 5 star for 知和行 youth hostel :)

This hotel is absolutely fantastic. Everything from the cleanliness and inviting atmosphere to the cozy common areas and great coffee downstairs was spot on. It also includes a laundry room that you can use for free. Even in a shared room, the space felt private and comfortable. It's just a short walk from Ping'anli (Lined 4, 6 and 19) and Jishuitan (lines 2 and 19) subway stations making you really close to... well, pretty much everywhere. Additionally to that, i’d give it a 10-star rating just for the staff alone - they were incredibly patient and accommodating with all my special requests. I had a wonderful stay in here!

The check-in at the front desk was fast, the room was cleaned, and the bedding was comfortable. However, the soundproofing was average, and people talking in the corridor could be heard. The location is a 10-minute walk from the subway station, and there are convenience stores nearby. The shower water pressure is strong enough, but the floor drain is a bit slow. It is OK for business trips.

Never again! The hotel was actually good. Me and my new friend payed 50,00€ a night for a double room. Until the last day we were happy BUT on the last day they didn’t want to pay me our deposal back! We had the right receipt and suddenly the hotel staff told us it’s not the right one, even everything was legit. Later they told me my friend (who left already) has to send her landing confirmation first, completely random. Nobody spoke English the staff was disrespectful and ignored me, talked bad about me on Chinese, ignored my request to bring their manager and started to care for the other guests instead of solving my problem. After 1 hour of discussing I gave up and left, the security guy called me back and they gave me half of my money back. I took it and left because I knew I had no chance. Never again! Stay away from this place!

Very close to the airport that is what we wanted. Hotel room is not very spacious but it feed our purpose. Hotel provide free transport to n fro airport.

hotel is near food centers, shopping centers, local market (behind hotel), near Beijing Metro. But there is no elevator, if you are strong enough to bring your 20s kilogram up to 5th floor, then this hotel is perfect (also no refrigerator).

The Hostel is in the best location possible, with bus and metro, 5 minutes walking, to go everywhere. The rooms are comfortable and clean, and in a 6 bedroom they only put 3 people. Was really nice. I slept really well. Showers and toilets a little small but ok for a Hostel. Staff was helpful specially Jonathan who looked like the manager, because of the attention to the client he always showed. He gave me really good tips to explore Beijing better. I recommend you to stay here. The only tips I would give is to provide towels because the travelers usually don’t bring towels with them. And maybe to offer samples of coffee/tea as I found at other hostels. Is there a coffee shop bit too expensive for travelers I think.
