“Go for it!”

This one is a no- nonsense, centrally located hotel I would recommend any time for anyone to stay at when in Beijing. The building itself is not not the newest, but it's well maintained and looked after. Can't help but notice all the mixed reviews on Tripadvisor, I for one can say that I did not encounter any of the issues previously read. Generally speaking: staff members were courteous and helpful. Speaking English (or the lack of) is not an issue with this hotel, I've probably met 3 people throughout the 5 days I've spent in Beijing who did ( or wanted to) actually speak English. And now the positives: Properly working A/C, excellent bathroom, fridge, and a very efficient housekeeping! Location is superb, just on the Xuan Wu Men metro station! Pretty much in the heart of Beijing. I can obviously recommend this hotel!

“Excellent hotel in Beijing”

This is a very comfortable hotel. The rooms are small but very clean and have got very nice bathrooms. The underground station Xuanwuman is just by the side of the Hotel. This is located in a nice place with shopping malls and good restaurants around. The restaurant for breakfast is also good with very friendly restaurant staff. few speaks a little English. The lobby lacks some comfortable chairs. This is a problem for someone waiting for another person in the lobby. They should have more chairs in the Lobby. will definitely stay in this hotel on my next visit.

“good Hotel, best Location, rude Staff”

We stayed for 5 Nights in Xuan Wu Men Hotel, I think the Hotel is quite clean and looks new...maybe some of the reviewer confuse the hotel, because there are 2 Hotels at the same street..one is old Hotel and the other one is new Hotel...we were in this new Hotel and were satisfied with the room... … more

We stayed for 5 Nights in Xuan Wu Men Hotel, I think the Hotel is quite clean and looks new...maybe some of the reviewer confuse the hotel, because there are 2 Hotels at the same street..one is old Hotel and the other one is new Hotel...we were in this new Hotel and were satisfied with the room... we have Internet access combined with TV and didnt need to pay extra, the room was cleaned, the bathroom was in 2 rooms divided, one for shower and the other is toilet...really convenient.... the bed was also OK and clean, all electricity work , we had hairdryer, enough bath shower and shampoo, Letterpaper, envelope etc. the room was tidy but tiny , if you want to stay here please ask them to give you room at 15 stage Negative : the staff were rude and they dont speak English, they really not look at your face or eyes when you talk with them...we are lucky because we have a CHINESE friend who can speak the native Language with the staff.... We just need this Hotel to sleep overnight and never spend our time in the Hotel....so we felt ok for the price and service...when we went back to Hotel.. we can direkt went to Internet and write some Mails or found some informations....its just convenience ..besides : just 2 minutes to Subway/ Metro, 3 minutes to Sogo , 10 minutes to Quan Ju De ( Peking Ducks famous restaurant) ......( all by walk ) and with subway you can reach almost many famous place in Beijing and we found this is the best practice...cheaper and faster as Taxi.... This Hotel have a very good mantou or Pao...they sell it also to pedestrian....you can easily find it at the side building ....next to the bread bakery...its really delicious! We would comeback again by reason of the all convenience......and of course not because of the Hotel's Staff

“Mixed review”

This was my second time to stay at the Yue Xiu Hotel. I booked it the 2nd time because of its convenient location: adjacent to a subway stop, adjacent to a major department store/supermarket, and just a relatively short walk (<30 minutes) to Tien an Mien Square. This time, I booked a double room.… more

This was my second time to stay at the Yue Xiu Hotel. I booked it the 2nd time because of its convenient location: adjacent to a subway stop, adjacent to a major department store/supermarket, and just a relatively short walk (<30 minutes) to Tien an Mien Square. This time, I booked a double room. The view of the Southern Cathedral was spectacular. The room was adequate, albeit that the shower curtain was too short, so that water spilled from the shower onto the bathroom floor. Stingy with the soap and toilet paper, so glad I brought my own along. There was a mini-fridge, but no ice: we ordered ice from the restaurant downstairs, but still no ice tray. Cable TV worked. Bed was king-size and adequately comfortable. I did not see any roaches or bed bugs. I had asked for a no-smoking room, but there were ash trays in the room; however, I did not smell any smoke. (Perhaps it had not been occupied for a while?) The halls are dingy, but who spends time in the halls? The elevators work. Main complaint: the service at the front desk. A friend in Beijing telephoned ahead to forewarn them of my late (11 p.m.) arrival, and they took that into account. However, when I got there, it was indeed fortunate that my Chinese-speaking companion was with me. They either could not --- or would not --- speak English. The conversation was carried on exclusively with my Chinese companion. In fact, the staff would not even look me in the eye! This: I found unacceptably rude. The next day, another Chinese friend wanted to visit me, but they would not even tell him where the house phone was located: he had to find it on his own. So: evidently, their rudeness is not confined solely to foreigners. On checkout, though --- at this point, I was alone --- a different staff member handled the checkout efficiently, and the manager (who had not been present when I checked in) said in English: "Please come back". They also got me a taxi to the airport. So: I suppose it depends on when you arrive or leave, and who is on duty at the desk, as to whether or not you will get courteous service. Of course, in any hotel purporting to be 3-star, one should be able to expect courteous service 24/7! One thing in their favor: they are not nosy (as in some other hotels). You're free to bring in any guests you like, without questions from the staff. There is a business center, with Internet access, and Internet access (for laptops) in the rooms. The room was quiet, and I did not hear any extraneous noise. The nearby shopping center has several restaurants --- but don't expect them to speak a word of English. There is a Starbucks, which is good for us coffee-lovers; and there is also a supermarket. All in all: for the bargain-basement (Internet) price, not a bad deal. And I like the location. But they do have to work on their manners --- especially with the Olympics coming up. At this time: I would give it ONE star!
