Time for a renovation
I usually stay at China World but wanted to try something different. Bad choice. Service wasn't great. Check in was straightforward but they don't bother to help you to get a taxi. Condition of the hotel room was old and worn. I'll much rather book the hotel next door Nuo in future.

Great location near Tienanmen square, forbidden city etc. The hotel has good bones but has definitely seen better days, The bathroom grout etc is shabby and the carpet in the halls has a peculiar odor. The staff was generally indifferent, but then on the last day we finally got someone to help us, and with a smile.

Very well situated. I had an excellent stay. Thankfully there was a blanket in the closet that I could use instead of the comforter, but I had to put it into the slipcover myself. I much prefer blankets to comforters and assume that there must be others like me. There are two kinds of tea provided, but the kind I prefer (jasmine) was not replaced as I would have expected, so the third day I had to drink the other kind. The plunger mechanism in the washbasin did not work very well, again a minor complaint.

the best hotel in Beijing considering location,
great hotel, many fantastic restaurants, the best location in Beijing, walk 5 minutes to Tianmen Square and 10 munites to Forbidden City and 5 minutes to the best shopping in Beijing. THE HOTEL IS FAMOUS FOR BEING HEADQUARTERS FOR THE OLYMPIC GAMES. THE ONLY PROBLEM I SEE IS THE LIMITED ENGLISH OF THE STAFF. BUT IF YOU NEED TO TALK TO THEM ALL DAY THEN GO TO HAYATT AND PAY 2-3 TIMES MORE AND FEEL LIKE YOU ARE IN USA. AND IF YOU MISS USA THEN DO NOT GO TO CHINA. STAY HOME AND BE AN IGNORANT UNEDUCATED NARROW MINDED TOURIST.

Beijing's classic old hotel stands up to time.
When I first came to Beijing in 1983 we stayed in a Russian hotel but were brought to this hotel as part of a tour - it was Beijing's only international standard hotel. It is still in very good condition though the style seems more of the 20/30s than 1974 when it was built. It is in a great location for walking to Tiananmen Square and the Forbidden city.

Location, Classy, Traditional
The location of this hotel is superb, very close to wang fu jing. Close to a lot of places if you want to shop around. We wanted to experience this once was the most extravagant hotel in chian for so long. It was a pleasant stay I say. Not as bad as many reviews on here. if you are looking for a more modern touch, then this is not the place for you. But we were not looking for that type of stay, we knew what the rooms look like and we knew that it is rather traditional. But that doesn't mean the rooms are not fully equipped, everythings there for you in the room, besides we don't as much as young people need these days, we were very happy about our room.

Solid 3 Star Hotel
An average hotel. Service does not live up to the 4/5 star billing. A great 3 star hotel, but does not cater to international travelers in any meaningful way. Stay at Raffles right next door. I know I will next time.

Government run hotel
To our surprise, our attempts to secure a taxi brought the hotel to its knees. Eventually, we resorted to wandering the streets until a bellhop from a neighboring hotel took pity upon us and secured transportation on our behalf. Also, the halls smelled funny, and the repairs to our aging room were haphazard at best. Finally, most hotels that cater to westerners tunnel the internet through Hong Kong so that Google and friends work. Not this one! Be sure to set up a VPN before you stay here, or be prepared to deal with the great firewall of China.

Famed old hotel
Beijing Hotel used to be THE hotel in Beijing 30 years ago. But now it's old, and its rooms, esp. the bathrooms, are not as nicely done as others, the newer hotels. The service is good. But the breakfast that's included in the pkg sucks.

Great location.....nothing else good to say
The location is PERFECT. The hotel needs some updating and the staff have an attitude problem. The first room we got smelt like sewage. They only had 1 other room available that was smoking when we booked non-smoking. The hair dryer was broken and took almost an hour to get a new one. Toilet in the room almost never flushes. There is no wifi in the rooms, need to go to the lobby to use it. When I checked out they billed me for the minibar and phone calls from the first room that smelt like sewage. So I ended up having to pay for someone else's expenses. And I used to live in Beijing and I am Fluent in mandarin. If you can't speak mandarin. Good luck with thus hotel.

Badly need renovation but great location
This is one of the few still state owned and operated hotels in Beijing. I really regret booking 2 nights here. The bathroom is so old and dirty. It literally stunk. They should just re-gut the whole place. Breakfast is outrageously expensive, $30/person. We ended up spending the same across the street at the Grand Hyatt enjoying an absolutely fantastic meal. It's got a golden location. Walking to WangFuJing, Oriental Plaza, and TianAnMen is very easy and quick. We fell for the name and location of the hotel, but it's not an enjoyable experience inside due to the outdated interiors. 2 star is the most I can rate this one.

Only equivalent to three and a half star hotel
Not happy at all when they tried to short change me with a lousy room when we booked for a room with Forbidden City view and it was past midnight when we arrive so we insisted on changing the room which is quite unsettling. Hotel toiletries are not complete bath robe is torn and no coffee in the room!

Great Getaway and Location
While the location of the hotel was excellent, the room was comfortable, what let it down were the hotel staff - mostly unhelpful, never smiling and very poor English spoken. The concierge didnt want to help or was intesrested in assisting and didnt speak English! If I ever go to Beijing again will stay in the hotel next door, the Raffles Beijing - superb staff, very friendly and better hotel.

Comfort amidst tight security in Central Beijing
One must be impressed with this hotel in the heart of Beijing because of the richness in its history. Beijing Hotel is indeed unique, reminiscience of foreign's imperialism being started by the then Imperialistic French, re-built and was a key establishment in New China whereby many Chinese and Foreign Dignitarians were housed and lived in. There are 'traces' of such memories ubitquitiously in the hotel today. The location of the hotel is perfect, right next to the famous TianAnMen Square, Forbidden City and the People's Congress Building to the West, to the East, the heart of Beijing Commercial District, with shopping Malls, food courts etc...Wangfujing the popular tourist area is just at its doorstep. Perhaps the timing, the hotel's security was extremeely tight with full bodily security check in force 24-hour daily. Fortunately such inconvenience perhaps discomfort were mitigated by the usually friendly, polite and even helpful security police officers. And depending on one's perspective, the roads along the hotel were swamped, literally with security personnel becuase of the security requirement in force which made one either feel extremely safe walking around or at time, uncomfortable because of the constant 'servillance' one is subjected. The room and the service of the staff is a bit run down. Room because it is perhaps a very old hotel made new superficially. Staff because too many VVIPs are around, which made services to ordinary guesses a bit insignificance. On the whole, it is value for money in view of the positive side. some of the aforesaid negativities were due to Double National Meetings in Progress at the People Congress.

Dirty world
If you're looking for a dirty place, this is the one!. Everything was full of dust, walls, balcony, TV, table, etc; also, the bathroom full of hair, not mine because I'm bald. Bad smell inside the bathroom because the poor ventilation. it is an emblematic hotel but the attendants barely speak english. If you don't want to stay in the middle of the dirt, don't waste your money here. It says it is a 5 star hotel, I don't give 1/2 star.

nothing like what I expected for a 5 star hotel
From the outside, hotel looks like a huge block of flats built in the 50's. Unlike other hotels in China, the door men do not even acknowledge your presence or offer any greetings. On entry into the lobby, it looks and feels like you have entered some central train station rather than a hotel. The quality of rooms, bathrooms and over all decor is far from 5 star - feels more like 3 star (even curtains too big for the windows and falling off their rails). The hotel is in sore need of a major renovation. Don't be deceived by the official pictures available on the net. On the plus side, the hotel is right next to Wufunjing station and shopping precinct including the old street which is a must see. Also walking distance to the Forbidden City. Some of the staff were helpful and one even tried joking.
