This is a wonderful hotel. The people are very helpful and it's in a nice location near the Forbidden City. You will find you can have a very good time walking 10 minutes in any direction to find all the interesting parts of Beijing.

Stayed here for 3 nights at the start of our 3 week tour to China. We were greeted on arrival by English speaking staff which helped make the checking in process easy. Our room was on the ground floor and was bright and clean and modern. There was a mini fridge stocked with water, pop and a couple of beers!... More

An excellent hotel, wonderful value and central to Tian'anmen square and the Forbidden City. Staff, especially in restaurant, very cheerful and helpful. Their knowledge of English was excellent. The cleaning staff were always smiling. Reception staff not as enthusiastic in their work! The decor was certainly a talking point. Very modern and quirky. The room was spacious and light with...

We stayed here for 2 nights. The location was perfect for seeing what Beijing has to offer, and the price was perfect. The staff held our bags even after we checked out for 12 hours while we toured Beijing and then waited for our flight! Also, the restaurant had pretty good food and a great view.

The staff are nice, the location is good. The decoration and design are a bit odd though. I think my room had as much closet and storage space as actual floor space. The shape of the room was a bit bowling alley-esque. When I stayed here for two nights the internet access worked only intermittently and the staff were not... More

We stayed in The Emperor Hotel for one night in April 2013. The hotel is located on the East side of the Forbidden City and is the perfect location for exploring both that and Tiananmen Square. The rooms have an interesting design and are generally comfortable and clean. The staff were very helpful and the hotel itself was excellent value... More

The emperor is a great design hotel! Though there are quite a lot of rooms you have the impresiion to stay in a small hotel. Very goog location, but only 4 star rating for us because the staff does not understand english!

We stayed at The Emperor for a whole week in March 2013. The service was personal and friendly and nothing was too much (we asked twice to move rooms due to noise and that was not a problem). My partner celebrated his birthday during our stay and the reception noticed that from his passport and arranged for a large birthday... More
