I stayed at this hotel last week. I had read loads of comments regarding the hotel but still went with open mind. Hotel was absolutely great. It’s cheap, yet you have everything you need and more. The hotel is very central in Beijing. The restaurant and shop at the premises offer a great service and value for money. I had... more

We spent few days in Beijing in may. Thanks to a tripadvisor review printout, we reached the hotel. Hotel is clean but most of people working there don't speak English so it's quite difficult to ask for something. We booked by internet and when we arrived they gave us a room without window at ground level. We managed to change... more

1. Travelocity had the best price for this hotel. It was more expensive on Orbitz & similar sites. 2. Great for the value - the rooms are compact but not tiny. Space is well organized. They are clean, the bed is slightly hard but comfortable. The rooms are equipped with computers that have internet access - a huge plus. 3.... more

We were lucky in that we had a competant taxi driver who phoned the hotel for directions when he was near the railway station. Bit of a worry when you start to go down small laneways. Reception - appears only 1 person was fluent in English and he was effecient, problem when he is not on. There was a change... more

I don't really get how this hotel has gotten so good reviews. Location: Not that good to be honest. It's better to live closer a subway. Rooms: Sure, clean, but nothing mote. Nothing but chinese channls. Staff: Can't speak english Breakfast: horrible Overall: It's a hostel. I think it will suit you if you're a really cheap backpacker. more

As noted, this hotel is a little tricky to find. I printed the home page in Chinese and handed it to the cab driver. I also dialed the hotel phone and when they answered handed it to the driver. I speak almost no Chinese. It's easiest to get taken to the Beijing Railway Station. There is a 16 RMB Shuttle... more

Stayed a few nights in May 2007, and found the location less desirable: many cabs, on showing the hotel business card, refused to take us there. If you have to walk to the hotel, many of the hutong alleys are quite smelly. Moreover as trains pass by the whole place starts trembling. Think there are better places to be found... more

We stayed for two nights in April 2007 in the Zhong'an hotel. As Scott said, it is difficult to find, and the street you have to go through to get there is not the most glamorous one. But it is very centric and the hotel itself is very nice, much better than I expected for 2 stars! Everything is very... more

First thing - know how to get to the hotel. If you catch the bus from Captial Airport, take Route 3 to the Beijing Train Station. When you alight, ignore the touts wanting to give you a lift on their rickshaw - I can tell you from experience that they will leave you stranded (but at least it will be... more
