“Good location”

Very good location and OK budget rooms. Breakfast uneatable for westerners. Good value for an extended stay.

“Super Budget Hotel with Good Location”

Chose hotel for its convenience and affordability. Chinese-style breakfast was not very good but great street cart and bakery less than one block away.

Chose hotel for its convenience and affordability. Chinese-style breakfast was not very good but great street cart and bakery less than one block away. TV in room was broken and had trouble communicating with front desk (very limited English!!). Most of the hotel guests were Chinese. Also note that bathroom is not Western style - I have never showered next to the toliet before, had to be very careful as bathroom floor was very slick after showering. I would recommend this hotel for Chinese-speaking students who have a very tight budget and don't mind living in hostel-like conditions. The room was very clean and the neighborhood was safe so we were comfortable staying at this hotel.

“Best value for a great location in Beijing”

Yes, the hotel is indeed just 2-3 minutes away on foot from exit A of Dong Dan subway station (line 1).

Yes, the hotel is indeed just 2-3 minutes away on foot from exit A of Dong Dan subway station (line 1). But you have to look carefully, lest you miss it, as the entrance is a few meters from the street itself. But it is only across the street from the Oriental Plaza Malls, and if you go though the malls, you will emerge onto Wangfujing Street on the other side. The hotel itself is pretty utilitarian and and straightforward. The reception know enough English, so common queries can be answered. They ask for a key deposit. The single room is small, but clean. The bathroom is also miniscule, and instead of a cabinet for your clothing, there are hangers and hooks on the wall. But if you're not into frills, it will do. The breakfast is only from 7-9 am, and is local fare. SO for those who need a Western breakfast, you will have to make do with toast and hard-boiled eggs. No coffee served, but the hot soya milk is heavenly during a cold winter morning. I just spent one night, as I was on a connecting flight via Beijing. The trip from the airport was rather easy - you take the Airport Express train, go down at Dongzhimen station, at the end of the line. Then you transfer to Line 2, get off 3 stops away at Jianguomen. Finally, you transfer to Line 1 and get down to Dong Dan, which is just 1 stop away. Total travel time is around 40 minutes, which can be faster and definitely cheaper than taking a cab. Head north on Dongdan North Street about 150 meters or so - the entrance to Zhong Ann Inn is on your right.
