Top Downtown Beijing Hotel Reviews

LiveFortuna Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"It was a clean space. Service was very good"

Peace Hotel Beijing

10/10 Excellent

"Hotel exceed my expectations. Breakfast was great included a mix of western and chinese options. The room was big and had a nice view towards Wangfujing. Near the hotel you could find malls, convenience store, liquor, basically everything you need. Room service was convenient and fast delivery. The only thing was not convenient was the heater was on due to weather being cold so we could not turn ac in the room. We had to turn off heater because we could not sleep in super hot room. I would recommend staying there and my party also enjoyed their stay. Staff was very polite and accommodating."

Park Plaza Beijing Wangfujing

10/10 Excellent

"Very clean room. The staff was phenomenal accommodating our specific needs like late check out. The breakfast bar was well stocked, fresh, and tasty/healthy. We did not use it but we were happy to know the self service laundry was available. Wonderful location. We enjoyed hopping on the subway. The station was very close. Subway was efficient, clean, safe, and inexpensive. However, there were many places to walk to including a walking street."

New World Beijing Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Possibly the best hotel I have stayed in and I consider myself very well travelled. The staff were so friendly If we had a request it was dealt with so quickly by housekeeping or maintenance. The facilities were first class and the location was perfect. The breakfast buffet had everything I can’t speak more highly of it and the overriding thing was the friendly smiling staff We will be back"
