I booked this hotel because it had a buffet breakfast and was central contrary to several reviews that had this hotel lusted as poor quality and noisy with a limited breakfast menu. I have to say this hotel was very good to us. It was out honeymoon and with one phone call they upgraded us and everyone was so helpful.... More

This hotel wasn't absolutely fabulous, but for our family with two teenage children, it certainly served its purpose. The positives were definitely location - you didn't even have to go outside to get to the underground (line 2), as you just went through the Henderson mall which is attached to the hotel. In the mall and surrounding area you have... More

I went to Beijing in April 2010. It was my first time there. I am glad I chose to stay at the Paragon. It's centrally located, just a nice walk to Tiananmen Sq. and Wang Fu Jing. There was a travel agency just across the road from the hotel. The operator there spoke good English, which helped, although I speak... More

The suite was quite big and comfortable. 2. The hotel staff was quite helpful. i asked them to translate my english addresses to chinese because the taxi drivers... More

The location is far from perfect unless you want to be minutes away from the Beijing train station. Otherwise, it's dull and the nearby mall is a depressing "desert". First impression: the reception desk. Most of the staff barely speaks English. They laugh amongst themselves in Chinese, while you're trying to figure what's going on, and supposedly so hilarious(!!!???) This... More

Our neighbours in Edmonton, Canada were travelling to Beijing and we were travelling in Malaysia and Thailand so we hooked up with them for a week at the Howard Johnson Paragon. The rooms are pretty clean. The staff were friendly. The location wasn't that great but the good thing about it was that the subway station is just a 5... More

From a techincal & feature standpoint, this hotel has amenities and lobby fitting a 4 star. The rooms, cleanliness, & service is way down to 2 star - possibly an insult to 2-star hotels that provide good service. First of all, the air in the room is filled with invisible cigarette particles that stings your eyes after spending all nigth... More

We had a great room overlooking the main road towards the main Beijing Railway Station, not to be confused with the local station on the same side s the hotel, which will get you to local markets etc, dont go to the big one. I travelled with a friend so we requested twin beds which made the room a little... More
