Had no preconceived ideas about it apart from reading it was a 5 star hotel, but was in the 2nd tier of hotels in Beijing. So I thought it would be nice, but nbot necessarily luxurious.
Was pleasantly surprised as we (the 3 travellers from Sydney who arrived at the same time) stumbled/dragged ourselves into the lobby at around 1.00 a.m. Looked a bit more style than I am normally accustomed to I thought to myself as I surveyed the lobby.
Lovely spacious rooms with good appointments.
Included compimentary use of bathrobes & cloth sandles. A very nice touch.
The staff responsible for looking after the room did a wonderful job, replenishing each day whatever appeared to be used. Some hotels will not do this on a daily basis.
Had a good gym with aerobic machines & weight machines. Along with this a sauna & steam room with a nice spa (big one & a small one).
It was well located a we could have walked to Tiananmen Square etc albeit probably 25 minutes.
All in all & very enjoyable stay.
