“Makings of a Boutique Hotel”

I was a little hesitant not going with a major hotel chain in Beijing, but experiencing something new was part of the experience. I'm glad I did!

I was a little hesitant not going with a major hotel chain in Beijing, but experiencing something new was part of the experience. I'm glad I did! Haven't see many reviews of this hotel & I am surprised that there isn't more info on this hotel. It's ideally located close to the subway (cab are super cheap, took the subway once for experience) and shopping areas. Staff is as helpful as any other but their English is limited. Breakfast every morning that isn't advertised (it's such a big bonus to wake up and go grab food in your own hotel! That too for FREE!) Mind you this is no fancy, 5 star hotel. But definitely has the makings of a nice boutique hotel. We got a great deal for about $85 a night! Well worth the price taking into account the location. Other comparable hotels in the area were definitely more expensive.

“Trevligt hotell med slitage”

Detta hotell har en stor potential, men det är lite sliten. Mitt rum var trevligt. Lite större än en "normal" rum. Ett hörnrum, 5th floor, stora fönster och ett mycket bra utsikt (två stora lyxiga hotell och en liten park över gatan). Hotellets läge är utmärkt, inte långt från Förbjudna staden oc… Fler

Detta hotell har en stor potential, men det är lite sliten. Mitt rum var trevligt. Lite större än en "normal" rum. Ett hörnrum, 5th floor, stora fönster och ett mycket bra utsikt (två stora lyxiga hotell och en liten park över gatan). Hotellets läge är utmärkt, inte långt från Förbjudna staden och Wangfujing shopping (bilfritt) street. Men rummet drabbades av lite slitage. Kanske är detta normalt i den här staden och prisklass. Med lite renovering hotel skulle göra en riktigt bra. Mitt rum typ var "city view". Rum Business såg ut (på bilderna) ännu trevligare med trägolv. Jag har förstått att Ocean Hotel har rum utan fönster. Frukosten var orientaliska och serveras på ett mycket föga imponerande fönsterlösa rum. Rekommenderas inte. Observera att Ocean Hotel har en skylt utanför dörren men bara på kinesiska. Det är lätt att hitta, det ligger tvärs över gatan från Regent.

“Ideal for a short stay”

I guess I probably got the most basic room the hotel had to offer (the website which I booked it through stated that my room was "windowless").

I guess I probably got the most basic room the hotel had to offer (the website which I booked it through stated that my room was "windowless"). Upon arriving, I realized it really meant that the window opened to a view of the sewage pipes (it was really better off left closed! what's really funny was how after I opened the window to check what was outside, I had problems closing it and had to get the staff to help me do it. Of course, you can guess that I left it closed for the rest of my stay). The room was really small and basic and the tv only had local channels (though it was amazing how there were more that 100 of those and not a single one that was non-Chinese). Despite being a "non-smoking" floor, the entire room (and level, for that matter) reeked of cigarette smell. It was uncomfortable initially but once you get used to it, it doesn't bother you too much. Location wise, it is directly opposite Regent and really near to Wangfujing. It's about 2 mins walk to Dengshikou subway station, making it really convenient to travel around the city area. Beijing is very well connected by its subway network. It's really a good location to stay for a short while (ie. one night) but any longer you might want to reconsider.
