Capital Hotel front
by maria_hzThe staff was friendly and well trained and the hotel OK despite the ongoing renovation. The fitness centre was unfortunately closed for redoing, but we got foot massage in our room instead.
The location was very good and there were several restaurants and shops at the hotel. The outside didn't look very enticing at this point, but we got a good price and generally were happy.
We chose this hotel on the basis of the location (walking distance to Tiananmen Square) and decent internet reviews. The room we got was big and cosy, with usual 4 star amenities, including one shower and one bathtub. The bed was big and cosy, the curtains efficiently concealed the day light so we slept very well. The room was non-smoking and that was fine, except for the fact that we got smoke into the bathroom through the ventilation system.
I particularly liked the fact that the wash basin was outside the toilet and there was separate make-up table and mirror, meaning my husband didn't suffer from me hogging the bathroom while I was making myself presentable.
Connecting to the internet was too pricy for our taste, though I don't remember the rate any more.
The breakfast buffet was nothing special to write home about, but was adequate and the omelette I had was actually great. The earlier you go the fresher the food.
