The 1st disappoint Novotel I stay ever. Noisy corridor, non-sound proof window, dimmy room, low ceiling.. well you will recieve calls in 2:30am from Front Desk helping you to fix your room TV ... at that time you already in the bed ... the Front Desk mis-called your room. Chaning your room ... no way. The Front Desk staff will... more

Great location with access to Tiananmen Sq, Temple of Heaven, near to Tourist centre for bus to the Wall, nice bakeries nearby and restaurants. Good sized, clean room, gym and inhouse restaurant. Underground station right outside which takes you to most of the tourist attractions. Airport bus will drop you off around the corner with a 10mins walk to the... more

Location: Good. Ample shopping and restaurants in surrounding area. If you are prepared to walk, you reach Tiannemen Square and The Forbidden City in about 30 mins. You will need a taxi to The Temple of Heaven though. Room: Excellent. Large, clean, lots of storage and comfortable beds. Spotless on-suite, fab power shower and better than average selection of complimentary... more

This Hotel has good facilities, althought he staff were as rude as you would get. English was a non event and the staff at reception had no idea of service, places of interest, tours and just did not want to help. I would never reccomend this Hotel to anyone. They state they are close to most attractions but really you... more

We stayed here for 3 nights over Chinese New Year. Front desk staff speak fair English (compared to other friends' experiences in China). Rooms are a comfortable size, clean bathroom, air con seems to work well. Concierge advised shopping malls open on Chinese New Year's Eve (but were actually closed), also advised massage facilities were open and no booking was... more

Travelling alone and stayed 3 nights. Booked on their website on their cheapest no-frills rate and paid 70 sterling pounds for the 3 nights, king sized bed before taxes, (which was a further 10 pounds). Breakfast is extra at around 7 pounds, but there's a bakery right next door that sells buns at an average of 30p, so no contest!... more

We stayed on the 11th (non-smoking) floor. Our room was clean and nicely furnished and trimmed. It included several amenities: a complimentary breakfast buffet, bathrobes & slippers, flatscreen tv, beds turned down at night, and a helpful and friendly concierge. There were a few annoying quirks: The touchpad controls for the lights are very modern, but a pain in the... more

The hotel is in a good location, the rooms, at least the low priced one i got, are really small although you can survive for a week if you just sleep in there. The window in my room was loose and the first two nights it was not properly warm. I tried to put the room temperature regulation on, but... more

When I booked this hotel i read reviews saying that it wasn`t very good, so I was a little apprenhensive. This was an excellent value for money hotel. I can`t belive how little it was for 6 nights. The location was fantastic, with Tiannemen Square and The Forbidden City nearly on your door step. The Temple of Heaven is a... more
