China Hotel Tips by filipdebont

It is a complex of 3 hotels, at the central square there are an excellent Chinese and Uygur restaurants. (I can't give you any advice on the Uygur restaurant because I did not try it).

Just at the gate you can rent bicycles at a cheap price, a few Yuan for an hour.

And just outside the gate you can buy bottles of cold mineral water and delicious yoghurt.

There are also some moneychangers, but I don't know if they can be trusted, if you want to change money go to the Seman hotel, just opposite John Hu's cafe.

Unique Qualities: A good place to stay, good location, and the old City is within walking distance (5 a 10 minutes).

In Beijing we stayed in the Harmony Hotel.
To me that was a good way to start our 4 week roundtrip.

The room was spacious and very clean. In the bathroom there was soap, shampoo, toothbrush, toothpaste, comb (as in most Chinese hotels). The room was quiet.

For breakfast there was a buffet, with Western and Chinese dishes. The price for breakfast . . . . well, one day I payed 30 yuan, and the next day I only payed 20 yuan, so it was not really clear what the exact price was.

Unique Qualities: There was a business centre with (expensive) internet possibilities. It was much cheaper at the internetcafe near the Hutong quarter just behind the hotel.

The location was great, only a few minutes of walk towards the Beijingzhan Metro Station. And from there you could discover the whole City for a few Yuan.

There were also plenty of taxis near the railway station.
