We (about 100 british people) stayed here for 2 weeks whilst on a TEFL training course. We all generally thought it was fine, it was a nice hotel and comfortable with a nice lobby. We were given tokens for a breakfast and lunch buffet everyday, but the food wasn't great at all. Apparently the Korean restaurant next door was good but we couldn't use them there. There is a mall on the opposite side if you cross and turn right which was convenient. Many western and chinese restaurants are nearby. The hotel is far out of Beijing, it's right at the end of one of the subway lines (in the top right corner) and getting into the centre of Beijing took at least an hour, more if you needed to change lines. We got taxis a few times but that is expensive. The staff seemed nice, but spoke no English so it could be a bit of a struggle. They had free wifi, but it was pretty bad. We could only seem to get signal in the lobby, in the rooms it was patchy and weak if you could even get it at all, but they did have ethernet cables in the rooms which mostly worked fine. The rooms were really nice, standard for a nice Chinese hotel but I've stayed in much worse in China, Shunyi is a nice place. They were a good size, clean and with everything you'd ever need. The beds were a little hard but that's very normal for China and it would be difficult to find soft beds like we are used to in the west.
