Ancient Observatory Tours and Activities

Good location. Two complaints: no internet. The hotel has it but there are “too many people using it” so I didn’t get an ounce for my whole stay which isn’t okay in this day and age. They couldn’t do anything about it or offer alternatives. The AC was temperamental. Sometimes it worked, sometimes it didn’t, which (given the current heat wave) did not help. Also worth noting there were construction works there at the time I stayed. A decent 3 star hotel.

Hotel rooms is spacious and location is good with shopping malls nearby (Joy city) with good variety of dining options and PopMart. Hotel is rather old, breakfast spread is very limited. Reception staff can be more friendly and helpful- most of them we encountered for our 6 days stay are gloomy looking. Swimming pool smaller than in pictures. Not near to Tiananmen nor forbidden city. Would recommend if prices are reasonable.
