“Makings of a Boutique Hotel”

I was a little hesitant not going with a major hotel chain in Beijing, but experiencing something new was part of the experience. I'm glad I did! Haven't see many reviews of this hotel & I am surprised that there isn't more info on this hotel. It's ideally located close to the subway (cab are supe… Plus

I was a little hesitant not going with a major hotel chain in Beijing, but experiencing something new was part of the experience. I'm glad I did! Haven't see many reviews of this hotel & I am surprised that there isn't more info on this hotel. It's ideally located close to the subway (cab are super cheap, took the subway once for experience) and shopping areas. Staff is as helpful as any other but their English is limited. Breakfast every morning that isn't advertised (it's such a big bonus to wake up and go grab food in your own hotel! That too for FREE!) Mind you this is no fancy, 5 star hotel. But definitely has the makings of a nice boutique hotel. We got a great deal for about $85 a night! Well worth the price taking into account the location. Other comparable hotels in the area were definitely more expensive.

“Hôtel agréable avec usure”

Cet hôtel a beaucoup de potentiel, mais il est un peu usé. Ma chambre était très agréable. Un peu plus grande qu'une "normale" chambre. Une chambre d'angle, 5ème étage, de grandes fenêtres et une très belle vue (deux grands hôtels de luxe et un petit parc de l'autre côté de la rue). L'emplacement … Plus

Cet hôtel a beaucoup de potentiel, mais il est un peu usé. Ma chambre était très agréable. Un peu plus grande qu'une "normale" chambre. Une chambre d'angle, 5ème étage, de grandes fenêtres et une très belle vue (deux grands hôtels de luxe et un petit parc de l'autre côté de la rue). L'emplacement de l'hôtel est excellent, pas loin de Cité Interdite et commerçante Wangfujing (piétonne) Street. Cependant, la chambre a souffert un peu d'usure. Peut-être que c'est normal dans cette ville et price range. Avec un peu de rénovation cet hôtel ferait un vraiment excellent. Ma chambre était de type "Vue sur la ville". La chambre d'affaires dans l'air (photos) même mieux avec des planchers de bois dur. J'ai cru comprendre que l'océan hôtel dispose de chambres avec aucune fenêtre. Le petit déjeuner était Oriental et servi dans une salle très quelconque sans fenêtre. Pas recommandé. Veuillez noter que l'océan hôtel a un panneau devant la porte mais seulement en chinois. C'est facile à trouver, c'est de l'autre côté de la rue, en face de l'hôtel le Régent.

“Ideal for a short stay”

I guess I probably got the most basic room the hotel had to offer (the website which I booked it through stated that my room was "windowless").

I guess I probably got the most basic room the hotel had to offer (the website which I booked it through stated that my room was "windowless"). Upon arriving, I realized it really meant that the window opened to a view of the sewage pipes (it was really better off left closed! what's really funny was how after I opened the window to check what was outside, I had problems closing it and had to get the staff to help me do it. Of course, you can guess that I left it closed for the rest of my stay). The room was really small and basic and the tv only had local channels (though it was amazing how there were more that 100 of those and not a single one that was non-Chinese). Despite being a "non-smoking" floor, the entire room (and level, for that matter) reeked of cigarette smell. It was uncomfortable initially but once you get used to it, it doesn't bother you too much. Location wise, it is directly opposite Regent and really near to Wangfujing. It's about 2 mins walk to Dengshikou subway station, making it really convenient to travel around the city area. Beijing is very well connected by its subway network. It's really a good location to stay for a short while (ie. one night) but any longer you might want to reconsider.
