“Taiwan Hotel - RIP”

Taiwan Hotel was a great place to stay in Beijing, a lot of personality, great location and affordable prices. I have been using the hotel regularly for 10 years, now it’s just a crater in the ground. It has been knocked down to make space for another posh, western styled hotel. Surprisingly the tw… more

Taiwan Hotel was a great place to stay in Beijing, a lot of personality, great location and affordable prices. I have been using the hotel regularly for 10 years, now it’s just a crater in the ground. It has been knocked down to make space for another posh, western styled hotel. Surprisingly the two old trees in front of the building are kept, I heard that they are several hundred yes old and there were some strong restrictions to protect and preserve them.

“Good value, great location”

We chose this hotel for its reasonable price and great location close to Wanfujing. We had a twin room that was spacious with TV and fridge and reasonable sized clean bathroom.

We chose this hotel for its reasonable price and great location close to Wanfujing. We had a twin room that was spacious with TV and fridge and reasonable sized clean bathroom. Furnishings were old but clean. The room smelt of smoke (although we had asked for a non-smoking room), but nothing an air freshener didn’t sort out. Nice bright lobby area and efficient English-speaking reception staff. It also has a couple of restaurants and beauty centre although we didn’t eat in but the menu's looked reasonable. We used the hotel business centre for internet access and that was cheap, although we were blocked from some sites when we identified our location as China (innocent sites e.g. KLM airline). Location is central, just off Wangfujing shopping street and within 15 mins walk to Tiananmen Square and Forbidden City. Our room at the front overlooked a main road that got busy early, but wasn’t too noisy. Seemed a very popular hotel and guests were a mix of Asian and European. For the price and location would recommend and would use again. One warning: avoid the pushy drivers in the expensive taxis that park outside the hotel. We booked our room at a discount rate through www.sinohotelguide.com but you can also book directly with the hotel.
