Good value, friendly staff, and a good breakfast
Located about a 10 minute walk from the nearest Metro station (Tianqiao, line 8), the location was good for us, and was in the catchment area of most tour bus operators. Being slightly south of other hotels seemed to mean we were picked up first for tours, and dropped off last, but that was fine. With Beijing being so large, and heavy traffic in mornings and evenings, staying close to the metro was important. Staff spoke good English, the rooms were clean and tidy, and the included breakfast was excellent - with a choice of cereals, breads, hot food, salad, fruit, water, juices and coffee. Our room had a good shower, air conditioning, choice of pillows, although we found the mattress fairly firm. Overall excellent value for money and highly recommended.
