The rooms are average, very small for two single beds. The bathroom are not very tidy, but livable. There is a TV but no fridge in the room. Major plus: very convenient to travel from the hotel to the attractions Major minus: the staff don't speak a single word of english Everything else is managable. Good alternative for a hostel...

What do you expect when you pay a cheap hotel? Well... this. If you are looking for best value for the money you pay, this is not the case. You get the exact quality you pay, and this means, little. The rooms all smelled moist, we were 10 people and rented 5 rooms and they all smelled. The restaurant is... More

The good news: VERY cheap, nice neighborhood, about a 30 minute walk from The Forbidden City and a 20 minute walk from Wangfujing Avenue. Very clean, nice rooms, bathroom. Popular restaurant on the corner, crêpe stand next door, KFC across the street, wonderful pastry shop about half a block away. The so-so news: staff is friendly and helpful IF you... More

This hotel really is quite awful. There was also no heating in the hotel whatsoever, it feels colder inside than in does outside. The foyer, the halls, the elevator and the rooms have absolutely no heating. Although the rooms have telephones, no national or international calls can be made from them. It is quite common for Chinese bed mattresses to... More

Suffice to say It would be better to stay somewhere else for your own piece of mind and sanity! The hotel is run by children who do not speak English and cannot help you with anything, might be better if you can speak in local dialect, but i very much doubt it! Pay a little extra and stay at Lu... More
