Find hotels near Beijing Exhibition Ctr & Xizhimen in Beijing, China

I was travelling with a friend who needed to spend as little as possible on accommodation. She was quite happy here, but for me, and at my age - I'm no youngster- it was not suitable. The staff were great and we got what we paid for so this review is perhaps a little unfair on the hostel. The location was good-near a subway- but tucked away so that even the taxi driver needed to ring them.

the main advantage of this hotel is cheap price. and free internet is also possible. the distance to nearest subway station is a little far. therefore, you should ride a taxi to go to subway station. it is a disadvantage of this hotel. there is no resturant for foreigners around this hotel. so, it is difficult to find a suitable resturant, if you does not like chinese traditional food.

I arrived at 10 am, so my reservated room in the annex building was not ready or they thought it was not clean enough for a businessmen (showed up good dressed). So i was upgraded to the main building. This might be very important to know. The room were quite big with all necessary infrastructure. Shower etc. were clean an up to date. The infrastructure of the hotel is various, i defenitely can recommend every in house restaurant there. Small but clean swimmingpool. Staff was always helpfull and mostly very friedly. If i met a staff which does not understand you after the second time, they showed up with an ohter one who's english was better. I had to extend my stay two times. First time i asked at the reception. They told me about the upgrade and the next night will cost the double price, because there were no more of the cheaper rooms free (what was of course not true). I paid it anyway because of tiredness. The second extention i booked over agonda again and asked then at the reception if i really had to change to the cheaper annexbuilding or if they can left me in the upgraded room, they accepted without questioning. I defenitely will sho up there again, if i have to be situated near Beijing Exhibition Center.

The hotel itself is in the western side of the city, making it a good option if one has anything going on in the xizhimen area, though the western side of Beijing is not nearly as interesting or exciting as the eastern part of the city. The room is clean an comfortable, and the staff is generally friendly and helpful. The breakfast options are however quite lacking. If breakfast is not included with the room one's only choice is the lobby cafe, which offers something passed off as bread but really is bread with Chinese characteristics, making it quite a rough experience. However, the rate here is generally low, making it a good value despite some problems.

Spent two nights here before moving to the down town. This hotel is at the third ring road on the west of the Beijing city but Agoda website showed the second ring road which confused the taxi driver from airport. Room is quite nice and worth the money. Generally clean and have transparencies between the bathtub and the room. TV not clear, signal not good. A bit far from most sightseeing places, but very easy to catch taxi at front of the hotel.

This was a business stay and the hotel is located about 4 km from the Beijing exhibition centre(5 min by taxi)The restaurants are every nice and 5 star service but with 5 star price to match. Room cleaning maids are very good and staff have good English and helpful. Everything in this hotel is expensive but there is many local cheap restaurants outside to choose from. But a nice stay for 5 nights and would stay again.
