A decent hotel next to the Olympic Park and a congress centre. We had a clean, slightly worn, room with a view at the old Olympic Village and a glimpse of the Bird's Nest stadium. A good western/Chinese breakfast. Very quiet neighborhood (not much to do). Metro line 8 is a 10-15 min walk away - the path leads through the security gate of the Olympic Park and may be hard to find at first. Otherwise, taxi is the only way of transportation, especially at night. There is a small shopping centre a few minutes away, but it is pretty much dead apart from a few restaurants in the basement and 4th/5th Floors.

This is a non-smoking property. But the smell of cigarette smoking is in the room. Customers are smoking in their room and keep the door open, so the smoke is spreading out to the corridor. We saw similar situation happened twice during our one-week stay. Seem like they don’t have control or intention to control over this problem.

Quite worth the money as the place is clean and nice. The only issue I have is that the hotel is not near any train station but I could grab a metered cab easily with the Didi apps.

Place for business trip only
Its a good hotel for business trip, especially if you have meeting/conference around new exhibition center. But if you are a tourist, then i dont recommend as location is far and boring. Breakfast is normally not included, quality is below average, not so many choice of food.

A reasonable stay for the price
The location is decent for my conference, the hotel itself is a little bit dated. Not much to offer in the surrounding. I will only recommend if you have conferences nearby.

Hotel is located in a closed area, and need a little walk to get to bus stops. There are many buses around, and is convenient to have a bus card. Airport shuttle bus stop is 1 km away. During check out, one staff is facing 5 customers, and other staffs are doing something else.

Execellent buy for a short business trip
Hotel was clean and unlike most hotels where people smoke in common areas, there was no lingering smoke smell. I was a little disappointed that the Chinese restaurant was closed but it was during the Lunar New Year so I can’t blame them. The price was worthwhile and the neighborhood is quiet. I’d stay here again; proximity to airport and all important locations makes it convenient for a business trip.

Extremely convenient for convention center
In visiting Beijing, many Westerners stay at a luxury hotel simply to make sure that the level of service will be adequate. This is a Chinese hotel but built to Western business hotel standards. Front desk and the business level staff do speak English, and are very polite and welcoming. If you have business in the convention center/Olympic Village area, this is a good choice.

Good hotel by the Convention Ctr.
Clean & efficient hotel. Low lit corridors but spacious and functional rooms. Very good wifi in the room! Rate is a little high, 800¥ for double, w/o breakfast. That costs 80¥ pp but it must be said it's a great breakfast. If you're engaged at the convention ctr or the Olympic Park, it's very good location, but a bit far from Tianamen Sq.

Nice hotel overall, friendly staff
This hotel is located a stone's throw from the Bird's Nest national stadium and olympic park, and is attached to the Beijing International Convention Centre. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The room was spacious with a nice bed, cable TV with some English channels, WiFi was free and ok. The bathroom was fine, although they appear very guarded with their spare toilet paper! Breakfast was very good with a huge buffet selection of European continental style foods, Chinese hot buffet and hot eggs, bacon etc. I would recommend this hotel overall.

Good choice for business travelers.
This is a very nice hotel. I came for business. The room has good desk space. It is easy to get a taxi. The hotel staff was very good at explaining directions to the taxi driver--this was necessary even though I brought a map in Chinese. It's not particularly close to the subway, but I didn't try. The food is good, but the restaurant is quite expensive. There are not a lot of choices nearby, although I found a food court, burger king, and a couple of coffee shops. The hotel is connected to the Beijing Convention Center. My only complaint about the room is that the lighting was a little insufficient at night. Otherwise, very comfortable.

Confortable, but bit expensive
Overall, we stayed confortably during our 5 nights stay. Room was clean enough and there necessary amenities. But it seemed bit old. Bath tub and sink drain was slow. Staff were helpful but only we requested. Restaurants were very costy. There are small food court and some restaurants nearby. I felt bit over priced. If it's 20% cheaper, I would stay there again.

Absolutely hated it!
The only good thing about this hotel is its close proximity to the BICC. I had hard time communicating with the staff since most of them didn't speak English, I smelled cigarette smoke constantly in my room, and the hotel seemed overall very disorganized. I'll never return to this hotel.

Plenty of potential but the inside air was awful
I would have given a much better rating if it were not for the air. I am talking about the INSIDE air. I had a non-smoking room. Somehow it seems that the inside air is drawn from somewhere where people smoke and is otherwise awful! I should have ask for a different room; maybe they have something better. Other than that, the hotel seems well maintained and clean. I liked the location. It was easy to get from and back to the airport. You can walk to the olympic venues, but there is not much to see or do there. It is a long but manageable walk to the subway, which is easy to use, even for a non-chinese-speaking person like me.

OK
Nothing wrong with this place, perfectly positioned for the conference center (which is why I was there). equally there was nothing special about the place either. It was clean comfortable and the staff were efficient and a bonus for me was that alot of them had good english. The location was perfect for the conference centre, but not the best if you wanted to walk to any sights (other than the olympic park), you'll need to take a taxi.

Amazing Experience
The week in Beijing was amazing. The hotel service, staff and overall conditions was great. I stayed at the hotel for the ISPRM 2013 congress, and was able to speak to staff in English and they would understand enough to assist. Their breakfast was very good, as well as directions and organisation of local transport. Bejing itself was very safe, easy accessable and affordable. People were very friendly to tourists and always willing to help. Thank you.
