Folks!! This hotel is truly worth me writing a novel-length review for 😭✨ I just stayed at the Grand Lapa Macau and, as a hotel enthusiast, I was absolutely blown away! From the moment I stepped into the lobby, I felt like I'd been transported into a European palace film 🎬 Crystal chandeliers + marble spiral staircase + vintage murals – every casual snap turns into an Instagram-worthy masterpiece 📸 My朋友圈 (friends circle) is already exploding with everyone asking, ”Which amazing hotel is this?!” The room is even more incredible!! The bed is so soft it feels like sleeping on clouds ☁️ The bathtub is huge, and you can enjoy Macau's night view while soaking 🌃 The mini-bar is completely FREE!! Drink and snack to your heart's content – my budget-conscious self is thrilled! 🥳 The service details are legendary! The front desk guy was super gentle, proactively helping with luggage and bringing welcome fruits 🍇 The room was sparkling clean every day, and they even neatly arranged my skincare products – a true delight for my OCD! The location is also a huge plus! It’s a 5-minute walk to Fisherman's Wharf and 10 minutes to Sands, making shopping and dining incredibly convenient. Strolling downstairs at the hotel in the evening, with the sea breeze and the lights, was so romantic it made me want to get married on the spot! 💍 Cons:

Our stay was absolutely fantastic! The location is super convenient, and the room was spotless with really comfortable bedding. He Yao and Ya Ning provided genuine and attentive service. During our stay, the cleaning staff did an incredibly thorough job, even helping with laundry, which was a wonderful touch. The environment is pleasant, and overall, it's a solid choice – definitely no regrets. It was a very satisfying stay, and I wholeheartedly recommend it.

This was my first stay at the Grand Millennium Beijing, and it exceeded my expectations by far. It wasn't overly crowded, so it felt very peaceful and quiet. The swimming pool is a major highlight, integrated seamlessly with the gym on a different floor, creating a spacious, high-ceilinged area with a Southeast Asian vibe. I encountered many Hong Kongers there, from business travelers in the elevator to an elderly couple in the executive lounge; they were all very humble and friendly. The surrounding area boasts a wide variety of restaurants, and the Fortune Plaza Mall is practically a canteen for Beijing's white-collar workers. The night view is also top-notch, with the CCTV Headquarters lit up beautifully. A pleasant surprise was bumping into a celebrity while working out – the 'rooster among roosters,' haha. The Grand Millennium is fantastic, giving me every reason to return. The male manager who handled my check-in was very gracious, and the service was just perfect.

The room's cleanliness was quite good, which is the main reason for the positive rating on hygiene. Facing the back garden with sealed windows, the room was relatively quiet. The breakfast buffet offered a wide variety of options—Chinese, Western, and Japanese—but the taste was really disappointing; none of it was good. It’s my first time not feeling full after a hotel buffet. The poor quality of the food is why I gave a low score for the facilities.

This hotel is grand, luxurious, and impressive. I'm satisfied with all aspects, and I stay here frequently. The transportation is convenient, and the front desk staff, Chenchen, is warm and attentive, making me feel right at home. The most crucial part is the unbeatable view – overlooking the bustling Sanyuan Bridge and gazing at the vibrant CBD cityscape from afar. The night view is also stunning.

The hotel is conveniently located in Beijing's Chaoyang District, close to the Kerry Center and Guomao (CBD) areas. It's about an 8-minute walk to Soho, and there are plenty of restaurants nearby. The concierge staff were very prompt and welcoming, opening car doors and guiding guests to the front desk. The front desk staff were also very friendly. The room was spacious and bright, and the 2-meter king-size bed was incredibly comfortable. All the drinks and juices in the mini-fridge were complimentary. The hotel breakfast offered a wide variety of options. The lobby bar had excellent value for money for lunch, and there was live music in the evenings. The fitness center is open 24 hours (after 11 PM, you access it by swiping your room card). The gym space is huge, with a full range of equipment and daily group classes. The swimming pool is 1.2 meters deep and 30 meters long. This is honestly the biggest and best fitness center I've encountered in a hotel, both domestically and internationally! They even have personal trainers available for one-on-one guidance. All in all, a fantastic stay!

The location of this hotel is absolutely superb. Its integrated with China World Mall making it easy to get food and also the metro. Their service is definitely tip top. Front desks speaks english and are very helpful. The room is cleaned everyday we are there. And whenever we needed more water they will take less than 10mins for it to be delivered to our room. For my husband’s birthday we were gifted a cake and beverages to celebrate. Really love this hotel and highly recommended. This hotel made my 1st trip to Beijing such a memorable and well rested one. Great job Jen Beijing Hotel.

The location is fantastic, right next to Indigo Mall, making dining, getting around, and catching a movie at night incredibly convenient. My daughter and I stayed here once before and had a wonderful experience. That's why I booked this hotel again, but perhaps because it was a king-sized bed room? Anyway, the room felt really small, the facilities seemed a bit old, and the breakfast wasn't as varied as I remembered.

I had a pleasant stay overall. The location is excellent—right in front of a metro station, with bus stops nearby, making it very easy to get around Beijing. There is also a nice bakery downstairs and several shops in the area, which was very convenient. The hotel provided all the amenities I needed, including an iron, and I was especially grateful that the staff arranged an early check-in for me, which made a big difference after my journey. The only minor downside was that my room's window faced the inner courtyard, so there wasn't much natural daylight. Also, the hallway rugs made it a bit difficult to roll luggage around. However, these were small inconveniences compared to the overall positive experience. The hotel was comfortable, well-equipped, and very convenient for exploring the city.

This hotel boasts a prime location in the heart of Wangfujing, directly across from the subway entrance (Line 8, Jinyu Hutong Station). It offers instant access to the subway, with Line 1 providing direct routes to Universal Studios and Xidan. Popular spots like Nanluoguxiang and the Temple of Heaven are just two subway stops away, making city-wide travel incredibly convenient. It's also right next to Wangfujing Pedestrian Street, with APM, Yintai Shopping Center, and the snack street all within easy walking distance – perfect for shopping and dining. Tiananmen Square and the Meridian Gate of the Forbidden City are a mere 10-15 minute walk, meaning you can catch the flag-raising ceremony without the hassle of a taxi or traffic. Old city landmarks such as Houhai, Nanluoguxiang, and Beihai Park are also easily accessible, ensuring all major attractions are covered. This central location allows for an extra half-hour of sleep each day, making for a much more relaxed and enjoyable trip.

This is my second trip to Beijing this year, and I chose to stay at the Livefor hotel in Chongwenmen again with my son. I guess that makes me a repeat customer, right? 😁 Overall, I'm quite satisfied. The location is super convenient, just a few minutes' walk from Chongwenmen subway station, making getting around incredibly easy. There are malls right downstairs and across the street, so with a child, I don't have to venture far. Cleanliness is my top priority when choosing a hotel, which is why I've picked Livefor twice. Next up is the bedding, especially the pillows – they're just the right firmness, ensuring a really comfortable sleep. The soundproofing is also good; once the window is closed, you can't hear any outside noise, and it's very quiet at night. My son loved the mini-fridge in the room; he bought some drinks and cheese, and he really enjoyed that. The service was also excellent and thoughtful. Check-in was quick, the staff were friendly and gentle, and they were always ready to help with any issues. All in all, the transportation, accommodation, and dining experiences were all great, offering good value for money. I'll definitely prioritize staying here again on my next visit to Beijing.

I booked this hotel for its convenient location, and it certainly didn't disappoint! There's a bus stop right outside, and the subway entrance is only about 100-200 meters away. Plus, it's next to Tong Ren Tang and super close to the Forbidden City and Jingshan Park. The service was also incredibly warm; they even brought me a hot chrysanthemum tea when I came back from a concert, which was so thoughtful! The breakfast was delicious, and I especially loved their flavorful cold dishes. Unfortunately, the TV had no signal due to a wiring issue, and I accidentally booked a room without a window, ugh! Oh, and they gave me some small pastries when I checked out, which was a nice surprise!

The service was excellent, but unfortunately, the hotel is quite old with an outdated overall design. The sink was at thigh-level for me, and the shower stall was made of glass, only covered by a thin curtain that still let light through. This was a challenge for someone like me who has trouble sleeping. The hotel is conveniently located near many restaurants and supermarkets, and it's only a ten-minute walk to the subway station. The breakfast buffet suited local tastes, but it was exactly the same every day for three days straight. Overall, it's not as good as a newer business hotel. I'm not sure what the standards are for a 5-diamond hotel when booking through Ctrip.

Ordering takeout was also incredibly convenient (watching 'Dream of the Red Chamber' while enjoying bubble tea and braised dishes was just bliss). Although the hotel was a bit far from tourist attractions, it actually allowed us to take less popular routes, avoiding the crowds. This meant we had a good chance of getting a seat for the entire journey instead of standing, which was a huge relief (I honestly couldn't handle the crowded Beijing subway anymore during the last few days). Finally, a big shout-out to the front desk staff! The two ladies working on the evening of Jan 2nd and the afternoon of Jan 3rd were both gentle and enthusiastic. The hotel also provided excellent luggage storage service. Five stars! 💓💓💓💓💓
