Guo Ji Yi Yuan Hotel

I stayed at this hotel for an entire week and I had a wonderful experience. The staff are friendly, helpful, polite, and diligent - as you would expect in Beijing. My room was cleaned every day like clockwork, fresh water, sheets, towels etc. I had a king room and it was quite large (with a desk, chair, bed, minifridge, full bath) and enough space for me to lay out my clothes etc. The location is close to three subway stations so its convenient for going in various directions around the city and its right next to the Pedestrian Street (Wangfujing). You can easily walk to the Forbidden City, Tienamen, and its two subway stops from Qianmen market street. I also walked to the Temple of Heaven which was about a 45 minute - 1 hour walk.

I'm going against the grain here and saying we 100% enjoyed our stay here! Staff are really polite and helpful. Rooms are cleaned daily, or if you don't want it cleaned just pop the do not disturb sign on your door. The other reviews are right when they say the rooms are a bit outdated, but at the end of the day it's clean, comfortable and convenient. Only Chinese tv works so bring a hard drive with movies etc if you're into watching tv. We were gone all day every day only being here to sleep so it suited us perfectly. Nice big comfortable bed. Highly urge you to add the buffet breakfast onto your room cost, it is well worth it and filled us up for a day of exploring. Mixture of Chinese style food as well as western food. Wangfujing pedestrian street is right across the road. Highly recommend going for a walk down there as the sun is setting.. it comes to life with street performances. Convenience store is just a few shops away, and plenty of eating places around too. So many places to explore by foot from the hotel. Exploring further is SUPER easy with the DiDi app.. drivers pull right into the hotel entrance to pick you up and drop you off. People do sometimes approach you outside of the hotel offering their service to drive you - turn them down and use DiDi.. much safer.

Good hotel, well located near wanfujing street. The breakfast is really good ans has many choices and staff are very nice. It is true that the installations are quiet old but I really recommend and will book it again in future.
