Looking at the other reviews it seems that we were very unfortunate with our room, but the hotelcorridors were so gloomy that I was sure that this was the standard of the rooms as well. The floor and bathroom in our room was clean enough but the walls had different spots of unknown origin and i wasnt convinced that the... More

We found this hotel listed on wotif and it was by far the cheapest available ($28 US, room only). The room was ok, enough space. Shower needs a scrub and you have to ask to have the air con turned on each time as the power goes off when you take the room keycard out of the power socket. The... More

If you book on line you can get a room here at a fraction of the price advertised in the hotel lobby. At the internet price you get a great value room. Its large and clean everything works fine, (internet, lights, hot water.) Only one of the receptionists speaks much English so if you need anything be prepared to look... More

We recently stayed at Xinghaiqi Holiday Hotel. The room was small, but clean. It's not anything fancy, but for the budget traveler, it would be a great place to stay. The location was great. It is 10 minutes down the street from a subway stop and isn't too far from the Forbidden City and Tiananmen Sq (maybe 30 minutes?). Just... More

Bus just 2 minutes away and subway about 20-15 minutes. Staff at desk had adequate english. Breakfast was Western style...egg, 2 slices of toast, coffee, juice or milk, jam, cucumber slices and ham slices. More than adequate. Room clean, free Internet. Newish hotel in Hutong area. Walk to Subway, turn left and walk towards next 2 stations and Lama temple... More

You've probably heard some horror stories about Chinese hotels, and no doubt some of them deserve the criticism and slagging they get, but you don't have to worry too much if you've booked into Xinghaiqi H.H, or are considering staying here. The rooms are basic but generally clean and tidy (en suite 'Western' toilet, Shower) and they get a daily... More

The room was nothing special, but it was clean, good service, had a good high speed internet connection, and was very inexpensive. I paid $28/night through Booking.com, and that rate included a (Chinese) breakfast. Most days breakfast was quite filling. The breakfast and room staff could not always speak English, but front desk staff could. There was air conditioning in... More
