Seriously, the moment I walked in, the front desk lady's smile just warmed my heart! She immediately told us we could get a free room upgrade – talk about good luck, it cut my travel fatigue in half! The room itself was amazing! Bright and spotless, I even ran my hand along the corners, absolutely dust-free! It wasn't huge, but it had everything, neatly arranged without feeling cramped. And the soundproofing? Incredible! Once the window was closed at night, it was super quiet. Combined with how comfy the bed was, I practically fell asleep instantly! Breakfast was also top-notch, from Chinese congee to Western pastries, a huge variety, filling and delicious! Plus, the hotel's location is super convenient; just around the corner is a food street – perfect for a night out eating and exploring! All in all, this experience was fantastic! I've already decided this is my go-to place whenever I'm in the area! Trust me, go stay here!

Overall, I was very satisfied. Even without my ID, I could use electronic verification for check-in. And if you forget your charger, you can borrow one from the front desk. The front desk staff, especially the ladies, were incredibly nice, and every employee had a smile on their face. The physical facilities met expectations, but more importantly, the soft services were also excellent, making me feel truly valued as a guest. **Service:** The in-room dining was fantastic; the roasted duck and lychee shrimp balls were delicious! You can also order takeout, and a robot will deliver it. **Facilities:** The only minor issue was with ride-hailing. When setting the destination to the hotel lobby, the navigation consistently directed drivers to the exit gate. However, this gate is exit-only and cannot be entered. I'm not sure why ride-hailing apps would navigate this way, but every time I took a taxi, I couldn't be dropped off directly at the lobby entrance. I always had to walk in from the exit gate. I hope this can be improved.

This time, I brought my child to the hotel. I'd inquired beforehand and knew they couldn't provide a crib, so I made do by pushing the sofa and bed together to create a safe sleeping space. The hotel's service attitude was good, and the room was very spacious. I tried out the pool in the morning; it's connected to the gym. There weren't any staff around, so no towels were provided, but the water temperature was lovely and warm. The pool itself is small but very quiet.

During the Chinese New Year, I brought my family to stay here, and the experience wasn't great. This time, I decided to give it another shot, and the experience has significantly improved. From the front desk to the room service, everyone was quite professional, making up for a lot of the previous negative impression. I also want to commend them for seemingly adding staff at the elevator entrance on each floor overnight. My sense of security immediately skyrocketed. I hope this excellent practice continues. There are also plenty of great food options around the hotel, which is a big plus.

My wife and I enjoyed our 6 days stay. The frontline staff from the door to the front desk were well trained, led and empowered to make immediate impact in service delivery. Our best experience in our China travel thus far. Well done and Thank you! Rooms were spacious and comfortable with the wash basin n toilet/shower separated. Very functional. We were presently surprised by the quality of the toothbrush provided in the room. See picture. Had not seen this quality even in hotels in many other developed countries. But suggest the hotel consider change the shaver though. Located less than 10 mins walk to the line 1 n 2 Jiangguomen subway, for easy reach to most attractions. This will be our new base whenever we are back in Beijing.

China International Exhibition Center Area Beijing|7.13km dari pusat bandar
Honestly, and without exaggeration, this was the worst hotel experience I've had among all the hotels I've stayed in. 1. The hotel is very large, and the lobby is grand and beautiful. There are staff members to help with luggage. I'm not sure of its star rating, but it has a swimming pool and a gym, and the location is good. 2. Now for the downsides: The breakfast quality is mediocre. The front desk for check-in is on the 3rd floor. Every time you want to go downstairs, you have to go to the 3rd floor to switch elevators, and then take another elevator or escalator down. The same goes for going up, you have to keep switching. This is quite inconvenient. Additionally, the laundry room charges for washing clothes, and it's a third-party service that closes at night, so it's not available 24/7. 3. I booked a king-size bed room for nearly 900 per night, and it was quite ordinary and not very spacious. There was no welcome fruit upon arrival. The mini-fridge only had one small bottle of Coke and one small bottle of Sprite, as shown in the picture. On the first day, I used the tea, but it wasn't refilled on the second day. I asked a staff member for another Coke and Sprite, thinking I'd drink them on the road, and I was incredibly surprised when they refused. The reason given was that since my previous drinks hadn't been used, they couldn't provide more. I booked for two nights, which essentially means I paid for two sets of amenities. Shouldn't two sets of amenities be configured identically? Two small bottles cost just a few yuan. Even a budget hotel wouldn't refuse something like that. It just makes the hotel seem stingy. Some staff members are snobby, arrogant, and impatient, even rolling their eyes. Just because they see a lot of foreigners, do they think they're rich? Do they look down on everyone? The experience was actually worse than staying at an Atour hotel.

Family Fun | 2 Adults & 1 Child - Kids' Adventure Park Access (during stay): The little one absolutely loved the kids' club and didn't want to leave, even when I was managing the child alone, it was stress-free. The hotel is connected to a mall, making dining, shopping, and getting around very convenient. Summer Trip | In-room Mini Bar Free Refills (once during stay): Perfect for a family summer vacation. Service: The service was great. I had a fall and asked the front desk for ice for a cold compress. Environment: Our room had a view of the 'Big Trousers' (CCTV Tower).

Stayed at Jen Beijing by Shangri-La from 16-20 October 2025. If you want sleek, modern, and excellent location, this nails it. If you're after warm, personalized service, look elsewhere. The room was spotless and contemporary. Location is unbeatable, sitting right on top of an upscale mall. Daily fruit delivery was a lovely touch that showed someone's thinking about guests. The vibe is youthful and high-energy throughout the public spaces. Fair warning for introverts or anyone seeking a quieter luxury experience: the lobby is bright, colorful, with a full wall of screens and constant foot traffic from the mall below. The gym is a commercial one open to non-guests, so it's busier and less exclusive than typical hotel fitness centers. The rooms themselves are quiet and peaceful, a nice contrast to the lively common areas. But overall, staff interaction is minimal. You're essentially paying for excellent facilities and location, not personalized hospitality. No one greets you by name, remembers your preferences, or checks in on you. It's efficient and polished, but transactional. If you want attentive service where staff make you feel looked after, this isn't it. But if you prefer a stylish, self-sufficient base with great amenities and don't need much human contact, Jen Beijing delivers well. Four stars for what it is, just make sure it's what you're looking for.

Beijing Xinqiao Hotel was such a perfect start to our first trip to China! The front desk staff was helpful and attentive. The room was great, with such a cool city view!! The bed was super comfortable. Please note: there is no heating in the rooms, but they do provide warm blankets! We really appreciated all of the room amenities (especially the great smelling shampoo and conditioner!) but especially liked the bottles of water. After long days of walking it was nice to have them in the room. The hotel is bustling with tourists and the lobby is usually busy, but our room was quiet! Breakfast each morning was absolutely delicious - but be warned going around 9 AM you may need to be patient to wait for a table. I received packages while there and the concierge assisted with that as well. A wonderful stay - highly recommend!!!

The location is fantastic, making it super convenient for getting around. Wangfujing Pedestrian Street is just around the corner. It's a 5-minute walk to Exit C of Jinyu Hutong Station on Line 8. From the hotel, you can walk to the Forbidden City's Meridian Gate (Wumen) entrance for ticket checking by following the wall from Donghua Gate, which takes about 25 minutes. The room is small but has everything you need and is perfectly adequate. The breakfast is decent too; it's great to fill up before heading out for a stroll. The front desk staff were warm and attentive, highly recommend!

First off, the location is excellent. Chongwenmen subway station is right nearby, making it super convenient to get to all the attractions. Secondly, there are plenty of dining and shopping options around. There's a fantastic Hunan restaurant right across the street, and the Hongxing Qianjin Bakery is also close by. Finally, the room itself was quite spacious, but the facilities are a bit dated, and the lighting is a bit dim.

Really good hotel to stay in Beijing. Super value for money. We've got a room upgrade when we checked in. The hotel location is fantastic, right in the middle of the WangFuJing, and all the great food there. Especially 4 Seasons Peking Duck, highly rated, although the queue is really long. Tip: staying in this hotel, just order take out and enjoy the food in your hotel room without the long queue. My only issue was with the front desk and using the robot to delivery our food. Front desk was slightly unresponsive and they will only send the food we ordered up to the room when we called, if not our food will be left at the front desk. Other than this, everything was perfect and we enjoyed our time in Beijing.

Great place to stay in Beijing, the service was courteous and even offered us a free room upgrade when we checked in. The room was clean and we had housekeeping every day, getting fresh towels, tea and coffee sachets. The room was well equipped with glasses, cups, microwave and washing machine. Splendid view of the Beijing skyline from the window of the room and great facilities on the top floor with free access to the swimming pool. The closest subway stop is about 20-25 minutes away on foot. We also used the blue bikes (a lot of them parked across the street from the hotel main entrance) using alipay and in 20 minutes we could reach tiananmen square and other attractions just cycling.

I brought my son, a military enthusiast, to this hotel to watch the parade. After extensive research, I chose this hotel over the Park Hyatt, specifically booking a room with a view of Chang'an Avenue. My research had indicated that rooms with a good, unobstructed view of Chang'an Avenue are limited, so arriving early was recommended. We got to the hotel a little after 10 AM and naturally had to wait for the previous night's guests to check out before we could check in. I particularly want to commend the service: 1. During our stay, middle schools in Beijing were conducting online classes from home. When we arrived, my son was in the middle of an online class. The staff quickly arranged a quiet room for him to continue his class and promised to hold a room for us. We finally checked in at 2 PM, and true to their word, the room they reserved had an excellent view, allowing us to watch the entire parade comfortably from our room. 2. The bellhop was incredibly diligent; seeing I had a lot of luggage, he proactively helped me with everything. His service attitude was excellent throughout, and we even received a small welcome gift upon check-in. While the hotel's facilities aren't brand new, they are impeccably clean. The hotel's price was very reasonable, and there are also countless great restaurants and attractions nearby. Overall, it's a fantastic value-for-money hotel that I would highly recommend to any friends visiting Beijing. It was a truly delightful and incredibly satisfying stay. Many thanks to all the staff for their professional and thoughtful service.

This is the perfect hotel for you to rest up when exploring the city, it’s nothing fancy but then again you get what you pay for, some rooms are quite small with no windows but then again it’s very likely that you won’t be spending much time in a hotel room instead of exploring the city. Now locating the hotel can be a bit difficult but there’s lots of famous clubs around, so you can enter one of the clubs name and ask any guards you might find by the gate and they’ll gladly help you. And yes they do accept foreigners

Very good location to go forbidden city Tiananmen Square and Line 8 QianYuHuTong Subway. Not good when we are housed to room 107 for 7 nights which is at the back yard outside the main hall. The room is very noisy as hotel guests are stepping very hard when accessing the metal stairs just right outside the room.
