A typical Raffles experience. Wonderful old building with big rooms, excellent location within walking distance to famous places and shopping area, courteous and friendly staff and an excellent but cheap seafood buffet. This was the best hotel on our China trip (Beijing/Xian/Shanghai). more

This hotel definitely met our expectations. The check-in was seamless, the rooms were very clean, the staff was accomodating, and breakfast was included. Great location- we decided on this hotel after reading everyone elses reveiws. Thank you.. We decided to utilize the hotel's offer to pick us up at the airport. This was a great welcome after a non-stop flight... more

This beautiful hotel will ensure you are seen to by dutiful staff throughout your stay. Great location - just a short walk from Tiananmen Square and shopping area (and an interesting, must-see night market!). This hotel contains everything a resident could possibly need: Swimming pool; beauty therapy & masseuse; fitness centre; 10 lane bowling alley in the basement. The restaurant... more

We booked this hotel with high expectations which is maybe why we felt let down slightly with our experience, however having stayed in the Shangri-La in Beijing and the Royal Meridien in Shanghai I feel we can be objective overall. In terms of location,look, and cleanliness the hotel is faultless, however the service is pretty appalling. This may be partly... more

I would like to share my experience with Raffles Beijing hotel. I was a great pleasure to stayed there. The staff are very alertive to my needs, the room valet were always there for assistant, they had big smile on their face and incredible friendly. We were sad to leave as the journey countinues, but I will certainly come back... more

My recent stay at Raffles was a total dissapointment. Poor service and I find it not one bit of a 5-star hotel that expects from an International brand like Raffles, No arrangement is made for airport pick up despite I called up. Service staff wasn't attentive and not fluent in English. The swimming pool and gym facilities appeared to be... more

The first impression after I arrived in the hotel lobby was amazing beautiful. The room I stayed was very comfortable and the staff took spacial care of my needs. I was invited by a local friend to the East33 resturant , we enjoyed the very fresh sea food, and lobsters. more

I transferred to Raffles from a hotel in the Haidian district, and what a difference! The rooms are equivalent to a 1-bedroom city apartment, and the service from the front desk to the room valet was excellent. Yes there is construction, but where in Beijing do you not find construction? Located within walking distance of the Forbidden City and Wanfujing... more

We had a wonderful stay at Raffles at the end of April 2008. We were greeted upon arrival and had a quick tour of the property. Our bags were promptly delivered to our room. We had an executive room with a king bed. The room, including sitting area and bathroom, was outstanding. Modern, clean, comfortable. The bed is harder than... more
