Location good only if you like the Beijing road Pedestrian walk atmosphere. Metro is just opposite the hotel. Nearby have a lot of food but all are higher priced due to this area being a hot tourist spot. Taxi easily available on the main entrance to BRoad. If you looking for excitement, very crowded with people, higher priced food and accommodation, stay this area, otherwise stay 2-3 Km from this area, everything is mush cheaper and it only takes rmb 2 to get here by metro.
Hotel is rubbish! Be warned, don’t be fooled by the photos the put up, it totally doesn’t look it look a bit of it. The problem starts immediately when you enter the building old building, the lift takes a long time to reach and is always in breakdown condition and mostly full of people, inside is also old and dirty, one is just with wooden panels that stinks.
Check in is on the 18th floor, take ages to get there, as many occupants get in and out of the lift. The housekeeping also bring in their big trolley that takes up half the lift space. There is no lobby, just a small room that is full of laundry and a small desk with a few un friendly guys smoking away n stinking up the room. Asking for non smoking room and view is like talking to a dead wall, they don’t bother to or just pretend to listen, just give you your room keys and tell you to scan a WeChat account, any request just go through this Chat.
Next was another long wait for the lift, we had to wait a few rounds as it was packed and we couldn’t get in with our luggage. When we finally reached our floor, the walk way was in horrific condition wit peeling wall paper or paint and smell of mild dew and mold stain, the floor is also dirty. When we opened our room, we are greeted with a terrible urine stench n smoke. It t like a terrible smelly toilet!, the stench is coming from the toilet and there was laundry still running in the Dryer! We complained and ask for room change but the Lady in the chat group said they will send a cleaning crew to look into it. A nasty lady came, she just removed the laundry and sprayed some freshener to try cover up the smell, she said that is she can do bcos she just cleaned everything a few minutes ago before we arrived. She showed us where the drinks and detergent are and told us to call the Chat is we need anything, there is no daily cleaning, only upon request.
The room is so different from the photos posted in Trip, everything is so old looking, walls are dirty and smell of cigarettes smoke, bed is very soft and like floating when you sleep on it. There is cockroach bait around indicating to expect rodents. Kitchen is equipped but I would dare us it as when I opened the cupboard there is obviously smell of cockroach. Only thing good I’d the projection TV and a big screen for movies. Air cond works during our stay.
Take my advise, don’t stay here, the whole building is so old and rotten and has not been maintained for ages, they have plumbing problems and I guess all their toilets stink of urine stench. I bought a larger bottle of 99% disinfectant and sprayed the whole room and toilet and it just improved a bit but the toilet is hopeless and still smelly. Reason Isnthe floor is not tiled, just some cheap looking wood flooring that is absorbing all the dirty water and ironed causing the stench, we had to keep it tightly closed all the time to keep the smell away from our bedroom.
Just stay 2-3 km away and you can get a better room and deal with the expensive price we paid for this room, totally not worth it and we feel cheated and short changed. Trip.com should remove this site from their list to prevent future travelers from getting into this con job.
