I visited Beijing with my mom which we booked Visual Shiguang Double Bed Room for 4 nights. Here are our experiences;
PROS
1. 7 minutes walk from Beijing Railway Station Exit A. Despite desolated alley, It was not bad and there were 6 authority officers walking every now & then.
2. It looks boutique ancient Chinese style as advertised.
3. Even mentioned no amenities but they provided everything everyday all toiletries, towels, slippers.
4. Our room has a mini fridge.
5. They have fridge, microwave, washing & drying machine to use for free in the common area (10am.-10pm.) but only1 machine each. So sometimes they were occupied by others who's not removing their clothes as soon as it finished. Nevertheless, Aside the rooftop sitting area there were many dryers & hangers incase the drying machine is occupied.
6. The toilet has a warmer.
CONS
1. The reception does not speak English at all. Therefore, Communication only via translation app.
2. The reception did not have much of human touch or made the guests felt welcome but they assist with possible requests eg. wifi connection, luggage storage. But not possible to get extra pillow which they said it was a standard (but those pillows were quite flat).
3. Despite the area has *Wangfujing* word but not the same area with the walking street.
4. House keeping did bedding only 1st day but the rest bed will look like how you left it.
5. There was no space for suitcase. You will need to cross it to walk.
6. There was no hanger or any place to hang clothes. There was 1 above the toilet which might not drying but the worst part is the toilet lid will touch the towel when you open it.
But overall, We paid approx 18$/person so we think it worth the price. There was another places with similar budget, less walk from subway & probably more spacious but we love that boutique style so we tried it once.
