Great Location

We stayed here April of 2011 for 9 days. We payed about 100$US a night, which included breakfast.
This is a great hotel with a even better location.We found the service very good. Clean rooms everyday.Our room had a fridge so we can stock drinks for the day and night. The breakfast is on the main floor by the check in and has everything westerners would want for breakfast. At the grill you can order eggs and how you want them done.
But the thing is the location. It's central to everything.Three blocks west is the south entrance to Tianamen Square and the Forbidden City.One block west and one block North is Wangfujing Dajie pedestrian Plaza.Lots of shopping and if your hungry for insects try the Nite Street Market close by.
If you walk south of the hotel there's a mall across the street.In the basement just before Mcdonlds there a grocery store downstairs.Just look for people with bags.Continuing on south you go the second pedestrian crosswalk over the road and you'll get to the Silk Market. Awesome deals.Right opposite the market is the Temple of Heaven Park. Just cross over the walk to the other side and go south a few meter and you'll see the entrance.
To go south from the hotel just go down the subway station and cross under the street that way.
East of the hotel is the main train staion and the old Beijing Wall.

Unique Quality: The pool wasn't open when we were there.

Great Location friendly staff

We stayed here for 3 days at the beginning of our trip and two days at the end. The hotel is close to the subway and the main railway station. rooms are large and well appointed. Very clean except for the carpet which is badly stained and could use some carpet shampoo. Most comfortable beds so far in China and wonderful soft pillows. Free internet in the rooms a bonus. Good selection of food at breakfast.

There are now 4 non smoking floors so seems the word is spreading. Very friendly staff some of whom speak English.

We enjoyed our stay here.

Unique Quality: Very good location next to metro lines 2 & 5 and Main railway station

Very Convenient and Central Hotel in Beijing

We booked our stay in the Novotel based on our friends' recommendation, and were glad that we made that choice. The hotel is situated on a main street, Chongwenmen, right next to the subway station (lines 2, 5). It is a few minutes by car or subway to Tianamen Square and the forbidden City, within walking distance.

The hotel is spacious and modern, the staff speaks English (at least most of them do) and is helpful.

For 516 RMB per night we got an "executive premier floor" room on the 11th floor. There was a separate reception desk and breakfast hall for the executive floors on the 12nd floor. There was an ample selection of Western and Chinese food for breakfast. We had free internet in our room and in the business center. We were very happy with this hotel.

excellent location, good service

We had a total o 5 days at this hotel, 3 at the beginning of our China trip , and another two days at the end.
We paid 774 RMB including breakfast at the beginning, and 830 at the end, not including breakfast,I am not sure why the rate changed.
Anyway the hotel was very satisfactory ,clean, and the breakfast good.
We found the staff helpful, they booked us a flight from Guilin to Shanghai, and answered all our questions as best as they could .They allowed us to check in at 8am when we arrived straight off the plane, and the best thing was the location, right next to Chongwenmen subway station.

Good and Central

The Novotel Xinqiao Hotel is very conviently located. in central Beijing. The Forbidden City and Tianaman Square is within walking distance. There is also a subway station out front. The hotel was well run and we had no problem with our reservation even though we arrived six hours late. Most of the staff were very friendly and helpful. room service is a little expensive but overall this was an excellent place to relax after a hot and humid day of sightseeing. It also offers tours and has a money exchange.

Unique Quality: Modern clean and comfortable
Well organised
Centrally located
Good Facalities

Novotel Xin Qiao Beijing

Stayed here in May 2007. Location was ideal, close to all desired destinations. Rooms were very comfortable and reasonably priced. English capabilities of the staff were very limited but they were more than helpful when it came to getting taxis to take us places.

Ground floor restaurant is quite expensive

Overall a very pleasant experience

Where to stay in Beijing

by 1jabbar

Hi;
I'm planning a stopover of 1 week in Beijing and was wondering, since I've no knowledge of Beijing's geographic/historical layout, which section of Beijing I should stay in. Besides the usual historic treasures i.e., Forbidden City, Tiananmen Sq., The Great Wall and others, our family enjoys outdoor markets, shopping, restaurants. If you know sections of Bejing and hotels that will best help us enjoy our stay I would like to hear from you.

We stayed at the Novotel Beijing Peace Hotel last April. It's just a block away from Wangfujing St. which is a major shopping strip and also a few mins. walk from Forbidden City. I believe it is where Air France crew members stay in between flights. The hotel is clean and comfortable, with a great breakfast buffet.

Re: Where to stay in Beijing

I would stay within the 2nd ring road (personal preference for Dongcheng district) and within comfortable walking distance to a metro stop.
When are you staying? How many of you are there? What's your expected monetary price range?

Re: Where to stay in Beijing

by greencargirl

There are alot of choices, however, here is a quite decent 4 star hotel that has a most convenient location (in WangFuJing area) for getting to the sites, etc. It's a little older than some of the more expensive places, though kept up well.

TianLun Songhe Hotel (Sunworld Hotel)

Here are links to the reviews on TripAdvisor and the official hotel website.

http://www.tripadvisor.com/Hotel_Review-g294212-d317867-Reviews-Sunworld_Hotel_Beijing-Beijing.html

Of course you can find dozens of others, and it all depends on your budget, etc. But this is one which is very close to the subway stop, main shopping areas, good restaurants, and tourist sites (Forbidden City, Tiananmen Square, etc.)

and the official hotel website: http://www.sunworldhotel.com.cn/Eng/Home/Index.aspx

Have a great trip!

Re: Where to stay in Beijing

Agree with Ellyse, try for Dongcheng. We stayed at the Lishi Hotel, which is situated in a hutong, so in effect you're staying IN a tourist attraction! The hotel is basic, but comfortable and its location more than compensates for perceived luxury.

Re: Where to stay in Beijing

by headseast

Agree that it's great to stay in a Hutong hotel as it's something special to China. Definitely Dongcheng or Chaoyang district but I'd avoid Wanfujing as it is just like any other shopping centre anywhere else in the world and everything is overpriced around there.
