베이징 시실리 호텔

6-night stay. A hotel that seems to be better suited for locals. Room was generally clean with exception to dead mosquitoes along the ceiling. Friendly cleaning staff. The hallways have the smoke stench as guests in the neighbouring rooms smoke with the door open. Wifi is free if you have a Chinese phone number which we didn't causing an unexpected inconvenience. By the second/third night (biting) mosquitoes were circling our area when sleeping causing a lot of discomfort. Dead mosquito

I stayed one night on a long layover. Pros: they had a available room 1 day before check in. It cost less than £40 for a private room/ bathroom. They don’t really speak English but it didn’t affect check in. Cons: just about everything else... the hotel is highly misleading and not even worth the sub £40 price. - states 1000 meters from subway. It’s actually over 20 min walk from the subway and to get anywhere touristy you have about 30 min journey and one change once you reach the subway. Same for airport express train. - the area has nothing going on.. arrived at 9pm and struggled to even find somewhere to get a snack. No 7-11/ Family Mart type places nearby. Had to walk 10 mins to find somewhere that sold water and crisps. There are a couple hotels and restaurants nearby but very limited. - the SMELL. Non smoking... not true. The walls have cigarette smell seeping out of them. I showered the next day and still felt dirty. And every time I coughed I could taste cigarettes (I don’t smoke...) - So much street noise all through the night. I’m used to sleeping with earplugs but even then the street outside my room had super loud traffic noise. I’d rather stay in a clean hostel than a private room here again.

great service. they don't speak English but try to understand and supoort you even with the help of translator apps. the bathroom doesn't have independent shower. easy and close access to bus station.
