Stayed in the North Garden Hotel for 3 nights (Thursday through Sunday) - booked on Expedia for about A$110 a night. The hotel is located close to Wangfujing Street (main shopping area and also the famous snack street), and about a 15 minute walk from Tiananmen Square and the Forbidden City.

Took my family (kids ages 13 and 9) to Beijing and Xi'an from April 18 to 28th. We stayed here from 18-22 and 27-28.

We chose the North Garden based on a friend's recommendation - it's more economical than some and is rated 4 stars in China (which seems to be a wide range there).
