 Entrance to Jiangou Hotel by Saagar
Jiangou Hotel has what I need in those terms. It has facilities needed for communications: taxi drivers know the place well, there is a small business centre near the lobby, and a vault to store the valuables while you are travelling out of Beijing and you can leave your suitcase with them as well while you're off to some faraway adventure.
The rooms are a bit dark and worn, with that checkered bathroom tiles look. But the serice is good, the place is quiet - a bit in away from the traffic, and good areas to relax in lobbies, and restaurants.
This was the first joint venture hotel in Beijing and it's getting a bit old and tired at the edges. Very lively. Easy taxi access and nearby key shopping and restaurant areas.
Best French restaurant in town if you are interested.
Different categories of rooms, some rather on the smoke-filled side, ask for a smoke-free one.
Not too far from Beijing railway station for the Trans-Mongolian train.
Jiangou Hotel is frequently on offer as part of discounted deals from airlines. Last time I stayed here I got 6 nights thrown into the price of an airlines ticket. As the SARS scare is diminishing, there will be further between such offers, but off-season there may well be.
The location is great, just near some major shopping and transport areas, a stone throw from the "Silk market", walking distance to several restaurants.
A much preferred hotel for people who adopt children, this is a place where you will be met with an informal atmosphere, and with screams. Good breakfast buffet, but they run out of certain food items toward the end opening time.
Yes, I'll come here again.

First of all, as already pointed out in another review of this hotel, there are two different hotels in this city with almost similar names. A couple of the reviews for this hotel on these pages are actually for the other hotel. The other hotel is named Jianguo Garden, and is located further down the road, not far from the railway station (actually: one of the railway stations...). Jianguo Hotel (this hotel) is located next to the Silk Market.
I spent 9 nights at this hotel in July 2008, and I have no problem recommending it to other travellers. I had booked a suite at the club floor. The "Jianguo Club" has a separate reception and lounge at the fouth floor, and the staff is very helpful. There is a wireless zone here, free use of computers and printer (this is rather expensive if you use their business centre on the ground floor), and each afternoon there are free drinks and small dishes in the lounge. Breakfast is also served in this lounge.
The "room" was about 65-70 square meters, on two floors.On the second floor it had a large bedroom with a LCD TV and rather comfortable twin beds, a small sitting area, a small balcony and a bathroom with a tub and a separate shower. On the first floor there was a hallway,bathroom, sitting area with two chairs and a LCD TV (personally I had preferred a sofa) and a nice office corner with broadband internet. There was also a nice balcony, but with hideous plastic chairs(!), overlooking the garden/pond. Separate ac on each floor. I wasn't too fond of the carpets though...
I liked the room, even if it looked as it had not been redecorated for the last 5 or 6 years.
I got two free newspapers delivered every day (China Daily and Wall Street Journal).
There were about 30 free TV-channel available, including CNN, BBC World, HBO, Cinemax, Deutche Welle, MTV and National Geographic Channel. They even had a french and an italian channel.
The pool was nice, and the fitness room had everything I needed.
There were lways taxis available outside the hotel.
Location is excellent: Silk Market is one block away, lots of other shopping centers nearby. Subway is two minutes away.
I'm sure there are lots of other great hotels worth staying at in this city, but I am quite sure that I will use this hotel again.

First I let you know that there are two Jianguo hotels in Beijing. The one I am talking about is the one located in Qianmen.
This hotel has two restaurants, one bar and a Beijing opera house.
The service is excellent, every time I needed something or every time I encountered any problem they solved right away. Language communication is not a problem. They always wanted to speak English but I always wanted to speak Mandarim, so, it was quite interesting.
I would definitely recommend this hotel because is well located. In the area there are several entertainment houses, restaurants, supermarkets, etc.
The only weakness I could point out at both restaurants is their breakfast, it should be more attractive. Anyway, I always had my breakfast outside because I enjoy the pancakes, porridges, cakes, etc. I just wonder if you are bold enough to go outside and experience the real Beijing life...
Inside this hotel there is a Beijing Opera House. You can take a nice bath, eat your Beijing duck in the restaurant and get ready on time for the 7.30 PM show.
There are also taxis all the time. Theme: HotelPrice: US$40-80 » Currency ConverterComparison: about averageDirections: In Qianmen, at the end of Hepingmen Street

The rooms were very nice, although like all the places we stayed in China, there was NO clock in the room! We stayed two nights at the first of our stay, and one night on our way home. DO NOT stay in one of the rooms near the lobby/nightclub. The music from the bar was so loud, and we were only a few feet away with the courtyard. If you rent a Panda Phone, it will be waiting for you in the business center. It says the business center is open 24 hours, but when I saw the lights off, I thought that meant they were closed. But if you go in, sleeping attendants get off the couch to help you onto the interntet. The breakfast in the main cafe is nice, but the one in the bar area is very bare bones. Overall, it was a very nice hotel, and I would stay there again.
The beds were the softest of any I slept on in China!
If you go all the way down the hall on the first floor, there is a children's playroom. It was great to take our newly adopted kids in there and have them let of some steam.
There is so much within walking distance of this hotel - Friendship Store, McDonald's, Starbucks, etc... that it is very convenient to stay here.

 The hotels water feature by yellowelise
I would recomend staying here (I have myself 3 times) but make sure you are not on the ground floor. Trust me, here is where they put families who are on adoption holidays. They will keep you up half the night with their excited chattering through the corridoors. For the same reason pay the extra for the club facilities as this will get you justines breakfast room the std breakfast room will be full of foriegn couples and their new baby's!
The rooms are good value for monry, well appointed if a little small. There is a nice water feature running through the hotel.
The best thing about this hotel is the location easy for everything as well as the 'family' feel. Especially close to the famous Silk Market which is less than 5 mins away.
The lesiure facilites are good, if you swim in the morning the pool is 'refreshing!'
All the usual mod cons Air conditioning, Modem connection, Telephone, Voice mail, Satellite TV, Room safe, Mini bar , Hair dryer Tea/coffee making facilities etc. Theme: HotelPrice: US$80-120 » Currency ConverterComparison: less expensive than averageDirections: Financial district
