I chose this hotel due to it’s central proximity in Beijing, especially to Tiananmen Square, the Forbidden City and Temple of Heaven (all of which were 5-10 mins by taxi). This hotel also had an advantage in that it is only a few steps from the Chongwenmen subway station.
There are several restaurants in the hotel, including Chinese, French and Japanese, none of which are expensive compared to prices on the street, but are average compared to Western prices. I am embarrassed to say that we did eat at the hotel 2 out of the 4 nights of our stay, mainly due to lack of time, once in the French restaurant and once in the Japanese restaurant, and we were very satisfied with our meals.
The service in the hotel was very good, and unlike reviews I had read previously, I found the staff’s English to be fine, and they provided maps for us and pointed places out if need be. If you needed a taxi you simply stood outside the front of the hotel, and one was beckoned for you from a line waiting nearby. You simply told the doorman which destination you needed and he would write it in Chinese for the driver. If I was to return to Beijing I would definitely stay here again.

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.

We enjoyed a great stay at the Novotel. It had a great location (10-minute walk from Tianenmen Sq) and the price was OK. At 55$ a night, it was one of the cheaper 4-star hotels in the city and certainly the most highly-praised. I only chose it because of the recommendations of other VT members. We got there at 6am and early registration wasn't a problem (we had reserved a room a week earlier). However, a 3500-yuan deposit was required and we didn't know about that.
The double room was quite spacious and clean. The staff was extremely nice and billingual as well. I do not recommend eating at the restaurant on the first floor, however, because it's extremely expensive. We usually bought groceries down the street or at the McDonalds around the corner (I know, I know!)
Overall, a great place to meet foreigners and a great location.
