Beijing Hotel Tips by vickss

This place is right adjacent to a 'hutong'--chinese slums, and also has a hostel to compliment for backpackers.
Room and bathroom is clean and TV also works fine.. though no english channels.
Service is cool and intercom works.
Though the ppl at the reception know decent english they r not too helpful if you try and explain them anything complex.

Unique Qualities: The best thing abt the pace is its location..Situated in the city centre it is at a walkable distance to all the major siteseeing places in Beijing. and is just 2 minutes from the Culture Street-Liuluchang Jie
Becuz the hotel is along with the youth hostel one can always find the place lively with backpackers from all over the world.

Directions: After u reach Tianamen Sq from airport take left and then right from red light and left from next red light. Cross the walkover(subway) and turn left at the third turn and and ask anyone yuan dong fandian(far east hostel in chinese)

Flying into Beijing with next to zero klnowledge of Mandarin can be adventurous, which it is. But if you are not booked already or are relying on the airport information desk for booking hotel in the city better watch out. One of the cheapest hotels I found at the airport was this JingShan hotel in central Beijing.
It was a real pain finding it and it turned out to be pretty bad in terms of hygiene, room size and there was just about zero facilities and they DONT accept credit cards.
However, even though I had booked at the airport, i didn't have much problem in getting the room after arrival.
Am not loading the pictures as it is not worth it. However, incase you have booked it seeing it on the net or some brochure just avoid it.

Unique Qualities: It had only 2 good points in its favour. It was close to a student's web centre which was open till late in the night(where I checked which other hotel can I go to the next day..thank god!!..) and is pretty cheap.. just about 25 cents/10 rupees which is what is the cost of surfing in India.
Secondly, since it was in a hutong.. the small mom and pop stores were not overpriced.
I bought some banana and potatoe wafers for dinner(this was however a lil costlier than India.. specially the banana) though the lady was very warm while seling the stuff.
