In brief

What works, what to weigh

+

Strengths

4 reasons to book
  • Exceptional transport links — The subway station and airport express line are directly outside the hotel, making it effortless to reach the airport or explore Beijing. Guests describe the walk as just a few steps.
  • Outstanding staff service — Guests repeatedly mention staff going beyond expectations – from recovering forgotten items and delivering them to the airport, to personally resolving issues in-room.
  • Comfortable, well-equipped rooms — Rooms are described as spacious and clean, with comfortable beds, effective air conditioning, and fast internet. Some even come with a surprise soft toy.
  • Good breakfast with flexible hours — Breakfast runs from 6 to 10, giving guests time to relax. The buffet is praised for variety and quality, though it's not included in the room rate.

Worth weighing

3 to weigh
  • Breakfast costs extra — The well-regarded breakfast buffet is not included in the room price. One guest noted it costs around 150 RMB per person.
  • Not in the city center — The hotel is in the Sanyuan area, not the CBD. While transport links are excellent, you'll need to take the subway or a cab to reach Beijing's main attractions.
  • Moderate overall rating — With a 7.8/10 rating from 903 reviews, the hotel is solid but not outstanding. A few guests note that the connection to the city and airport is the main draw, implying the hotel itself may not be a destination.

“Great spot near the subway and airport express. Housekeeping was quick and thorough, and the bathroom had an excellent shower. The room was quiet and the temperature easy to control. The front desk even recovered an item I left behind – very impressive.”

7.8Verified guest

“There was a night manager who was really wonderful. Some housekeeping mix-ups happened, but instead of just apologizing over the phone, he came to my room to talk it through. We sorted it out, and I genuinely liked him a lot.”

7.8Verified guest

“Loved this stay. The location could not be better – airport express and regular subway right outside the door. Made our one-night stopover between flights so easy. The staff were helpful and responsive, even refreshing our room while we'd accidentally left the 'Do Not Disturb' sign out. The room was beautiful, with air conditioning, a mini-bar, and Wi-Fi. The bed was incredibly comfortable – slept great.”

7.8Verified guest

“Clean room, and a lovely big soft toy waiting on the bed! The subway is a two-minute walk at most. Breakfast ran from 6 to 10, which gave us a relaxed start. Great value for the money.”

“Breakfast was good, and the metro and airport express are right outside the hotel. Internet worked well.”

“Unbeatable location – the subway station is right above the hotel. The rooms are generously sized, the interior design is striking, and the Wi-Fi is free. 24-hour reception was handy.”
