The PuXuan Hotel and Spa

Top notch hotel located in the heart of Beijing. Outstanding service from lobby to check in to in room service. Staff were extremely helpful and friendly, always catering to your every need and were very attentive to every detail. The hotel also goes above and beyond to ensure your requirements made during pre-check in are met, birthday cakes, balloons, hand-drawn card and a bouquet of flowers all ready the moment you enter the room!

The staff here tries very hard to make guests feel welcome. But the week we were here the hotel was nearly empty and it felt kinda spooky. Some guests might like that though! The room layout is a bit funky and the lighting in the bathroom not so good. The portions in the French restaurant are tiny, even by French standards and neither the French or Chinese restaurant has much for a vegetarian option. We had to drive to all the nearby attractions, the Forbidden City, Tianamen Square, etc as they were just a bit far to walk. I would not go back to this hotel.

The room has plenty of space. The staff was overall responsive. The design of the elevators was rather awkward, you need to take two separate ones to get to the fourth floor, for example. The place is close to the city center, but there is really no view from the hotel room. The breakfast is a combination of buffet and ordered service, with limited selections.
