Getting better and better each time... and other Beijing, China Hotel/Accommodation Reviews

THIS PLACE IS LIKE CHINA>>>IMPROVING EVERYTIME I STAY HERE> GETTING BETTER AND BETTER.

It's a chinese-run luxury hotel. I guess it's best described as a 4 star hotel with 5 star facilities. They have different classes of rooms. the standard is like a regular hotelrooms.
The deluxe rooms is on a whole different level..huge luxurious rooms(PC with free internet and special lobby).You cant really compare it to the international chain hotels. Pricewise the chinese run hotel is much cheaper than the international run hotel.
And it's the same with the WFG.
IMO the service here is excellent , the staff has become fluent in english. Even the housekeeping.EXCELLENT

All I can say is that I really enjoyed my stay here...sure there are better located hotels, even more luxurious hotels. But this is a good hotel with a great location and price-quality.

A topnotch base for a very enjoyable visit to Beijing.

PS i shudder when I considered I could have stayed at the Great Wall Sheraton. Place is in the middle of nowhere and everything there is SO overpriced.
Really expat area.
IMO you should choose a place near Wang Fu Jing. Close to all the important stuff.

Unique Qualities: Now to the plusside:
1)Pricewise you know you will get a bigger bang for the buck in a chinese -run hotel.
2)Facilities...maybe it's just 4 stars. But this place is just LOADED with them.From a topclass nightclub.(I was shocked when I went out for dinner during my first night. So much beauty..thought I died and went to heaven).
There's a fully loaded Spa with pool etc on the lowerfloors. They even have a barbershop.
The business center is good too. So many facilities in such a relatively small hotel. Seems more like vegas than Beijing to me.
3)LOCATION. Forget about it being close to the forbidden city.If you want to visit the place...it's better to enter from Tiananmen anyway IMO.
No the great thing about the place is it's closeness with the WANGFUJING area.
The name is actually a bit of a farce, because it's not really close to the WFJ area. Matter of fact the Crown Plaza is closer and on the other side of the WFJ area there are more hotels(hyatt) that has a better location with regard to WFJ area.
Still again for it's price it's location is unbeatable. The walk towards the WFJ area is pretty interesting too. I like the old church..pretty picturesque square inf ront of it. Also the other side of WFJ is teh more posh side of WFJ area with the more higherend malls. On this side of WFJ the malls are more local malls and the prices tend to be more reasonable.
But even more important, there's a lot of eateries during walk there. Just before you enter the WangFuJing area..the street before it is full of eateries. That's truly a big plus for me.And at night there's a foodmarket in this street. I must say...the foodmarket is not comparable with the ones in Indonesia or thailand. I fear it's more of a touristtrap than anything else.

Downside: I guess the management read this site. because they adjusted accordingly. The nightclub ladies enters via a side entrance(alas) and the staff are now all fluent in english. Not just reception but even the housekeeping. EXCELLENT
