There is no English at the front desk but I have enough Chinese to get through. There is also no wardrobe to hang clothes but there are some pegs on the wall.

Overall, its not glamorous but really fine for the price.

The hotel is small, but in the area that I wanted. There was always one English speaker on duty. Rooms were small but the beds were good, and there was free filtered and boiled water It is close to the US and Korean Embassies and just a five minute walk to the Linmaqiao subway station. It is off the third ring road and close to other hotels, Hilton, Kampinski, cafes and shops. It is also close to a nice flower and fish market. The only problem was a sewer type smell one day in the lobby near the elevator and also in the bathroom. The same smell was also outside the hotel. Could be a one time problem that cleared up In all if you want to be in this area and want a clean, cheap place, this is it. I think that we were the only westerners there but the hotel was full.
