It's a really budgeted hotel in Beijing. I stayed there for 4 nights with my fiance, and the rooms are clean, staffs are nice. Location is 10-15 mins walk to WangFuZhin Street. Personally felt quite far away...but price was valued. Recommended for budgeted travelers~ more

We stayed here for 5 nights. The room is quite big, with 2 Queen size bed and very clean. It was a little dark though. It was my kids' 1st trip to China and they were comfortable and settled down well. Did as what the other reviewers said, avoided the hotel cuisine. For breakfast, go to the opposite. head for... more

This Hotel is fantastic! We stayed for 9 nights in Oct 06. Although rooms a little dated, but very clean and well appointed! The front office staff are very helpful and friendly. It was great when catching a taxi as they would make sure the drivers knew where you wanted to go and also wrote the taxi number down for... more

I chose this hotel mostly based on reviews I read here and for the most part can echo what has already been said. The Songhe is a reasonably priced 3 star option (~$70) two minutes from Wangfujing Street. By no means do I consider myself an expert on Beijing but from research and limited experience this seems to be the... more

I'd agree with the other reviews that the hotel is a nice, standard place to stay in Beijing. The location is good... Very near the centre. I'd recommend walking to the tourist places in the centre and not bother with taxis. Defiantely don't use taxis that sit in the street outside the hotel. They seemed to want to try every... more

The hotel is excellent located centrally in Bejing minutes from the "golden street" / "silver street" shopping areas. Rooms were good sized and bathrooms good. Breakfast was also good, loved the dumplings and omelette. The only negative we could find was that not all taxi drivers knew the location of the hotel (even with an adress written in chinese). A... more

We have just returned from 9 nights at this hotel in Sept. 06. Previous reviews are all fair, and prices quoted for meals, taxis etc. are up to date and description of hotel pretty good so I will try not to repeat. The hotel is in a very good location. If you think 3 star you will not be disappointed.... more

I stayed in the Tianlun Songhe Hotel for 5 days for a business meeting. My room was paid by my host so I don't know how much they paid for it, but it struck me as a good 3.5* to 4* hotel. If anything it was a more chinese version of the western chains which otherwise abound in this area.... more

Background: 5 days in Beijing after having spent 3 days in Xi'an. Wife and I are in our 30's. We speak and read Mandarin. First trip to Beijing. Looking for a functional but comfortable hotel. We aren't used to having our rooms cleaned for us, and weren't expecting to have hotel restaurant food, room service, or even to have organised... more
