Find hotels in Forbidden City

"I had a great stay at Crowne plaza, though I was not spending much time in the hotel itself. The location is great with easy access to metro and the forbidden city within walking distance. There are also restaurants and shops close by. We loved the breakfast, but it was expensive (230Y for breakfast+internet). The staff were very helpful, but some of the advice I got was not good. For example they adviced me to cancel my great wall trip for a private car which was either because they did not at all understand what I wanted or because they were getting a commission for booking tours.

"The hotel is located near the Dengshikou station but you can also get here via Wangfujing station. Easy to hail a cab as well if needed. It's walking distance to Forbidden City/ Tiananmen Square (about 20 minutes) and it's close to Siji Minfu Pekng Duck restaurant, one of the locals' favorites. Also near Wangfujing Street where there are a lot of local food stalls, shops, restaurants, and coffee shops. There's a souvenir shop nearby as well that sells cheap goods. The room is also spacious and the staff is very helpful. They will really try their best to understand you (not all are good in English). Buffet spread is good, particularly the coffee selection. Not a lot of meat options, but a lot of healthy options. Definitely my hotel of choice if I were to go to this part of Beijing again."

"the hotel is located in the center of the city, 1 minute walking distance from wangfujing shopping street, 15-20 minutes from forbidden city and tiananmen square. the room was not new but very clean, pleasant, bed was comfortable and nothing was falling apart. the room service was fast and the staff was very friendly and helpful and we were able to communicate well in english. the room was comfortable for a couple. tap water in china are not good. there is a 24/7 across the street from the hotel where we bought our water. the water and drinks in the minibar are very expensive. we are now going back to beijing and will stay at this hotel again for our last weekend in china. "

"Hotel is clean with older decor. It is located in a convenient location, about 45 min walk from the entry of the Forbidden city and a 10 min walk from the exit of the Forbidden city. It's a 10-15 min walk from a shopping area/mall on Picai Huton where there area lots of luxury hotels. Staff speaks English and is overall friendly, but each hotel staff only does one task. For example, you cannot ask the check in staff to help with directions - they will instruct you to ask the Concierge for this assistance. The hotel also nickel + dimes you. If you want an extra water bottle, some staff will say it costs extra and some staff will say it's free. Overall, for the price and location compared to other very expensive nearby hotels, the hotel is a good value."

"travelled to china with my mum. the hilton is a lovely hotel, we booked a twin bedroom and our beds were double beds! the bedroom was lovely, comfortable beds, amazing walk in wardrobe, huge separate bath and shower. room complete with chaise lounge and desk. breakfast is a must. delicious food, all tastes and flavours catered for. i loved the japanese miso soup with noodles and wantons each morning. proximity to wangfuijing street is but a 2 min walk out the front door. loads of shops and department stores. we walked to forbidden city from this hotel, took about 20mins. tiananmen square is across the road from forbidden city. this hotel is well positioned for everything. easy to catch the subway, once you know how to purchase a ticket. we ate in the hotel each night in the chinese restaurant 'chynna'. excellent service and the meals were delicious. must try the peking duck! highly recommended, ask for a map at the front desk!"

"Though a little hard to find, hotel is actually conventiently located just 3 bus stops away from subway station Dong Si and is just a few bus stops from Tian An Men Square. Hotel is only a short walk from Xuan Wu Men or North Gate (exit gate) of the Forbidden City. Do note that visitation to the Forbidden City is currently uni-directional i.e. you could only enter from the the main entrance at South Gate at Tian An Men Square and exit from the North Gate. The hotel is located in the middle of a small road. Getting out of the hotel turning right is a small decent road which is the direction of access to the North Gate of Forbidden City. Getting out turning right however, is an alley "Hu Tong" which is lined with small shops which one would not imagine could lead to a decent multi-story hotel housed within a compound although at the beginning of the road is several signage in Chinese showing there are several hotel/motel down the road. So don't be surprise if you first hit this alley when you try to find the hotel. Trully worth noting is, housed within the compound facing the entrance gate of the hotel is the building which was once the resort home of Princess He Jia, the fourth daughter of Emperor Qian Long. In 1898, this building was converted to an educational instituion which is the predecessor of the current Peking University. It was once the tallest educational building in China. Hotel is also just next to Jing Shan Park. Wang Fu Jing and the Prince Gong Mansion (Gong Wang Fu) aren't too far to access too, although transport maybe necessary. "

"We are a family of 2 adult and 2 children,(13yr and 11yr), stayed in the Premier room(twin beds). Each bed is 1.4m x2m, quite spacious, can sleep 2 persons per bed. Room, towels and linens are ver clean. Clean and lovely pools for children(small heated pool) and adults. Hotel buffet is very expensive (RMB 150 per person), we did not try it. Nearest metro is National Art Museum. Win which you can interchange the lines according to your destinations. There are toilets in most of the metros, all about Beijing including various places of interest such as the Forbidden city, the Great Wall, Summèr Palace.and etc. Not easy to find food around hotel. Nearest mall (Apm Mall) iand Wanfujing Pedestrian Street is 15min to 20min walk away., many restaurants on 5th and 6th floor. The Gandma's restaurant at APM Mall to be cheapest, really worth the price, especially their big fish(RMB 150). Get a cab (Rmb 20)from hotel to Jing Ding Xuan restaurant, good dim sum+chinese dishes.

"Nice hotel with courtyard just right outside our room. Breakfast and food is higher than our expectation. Small hotel but personal. Walking distance to MRT. We stayed for 4 nights and had a great stay. "
