Hotels near Peking University

I recently moved to Beijing without previous arrangements for living, and spent three nights at Xijiao Hotel. At first, I had some trouble with the front desk, as they could not find my reservation that I made via Agoda. But after 30 minutes or so, the problem was fixed and the staff was very friendly and helpful throughout. This is a very convenient hotel with a great location: 5 minutes walking to BLCU campus (though maybe more like 10-15 minutes to the administration buildings), 10 minutes to the Wudaokou subway station, maybe 10-15 minutes to Tsinghua, but walking to Peking University is more like 30-45 minutes. There's a swimming pool, bowling alley, lots of different options for food (if not within the hotel compound, then outside on the street too). The Japanese restaurant, in particular, called Momoya, is REALLY good. Only problem I had, was my room key stopped working twice. I had to call the front desk and somebody came by to fix it. That took maybe 10 minutes each time. But they were very apologetic and helpful. I'm sure this only happens every so often. Overall, GREAT value for the place. I paid $32/night via Agoda, and it's hard to find something that feels safe and secure, with the relatively quality service/room as Xijiao Hotel for that price.

We were traveling with our 10-month baby for the first time in Beijing and was looking for a hotel nearby Qinghua University. We were impressed with this hotel because of its affordability, luxurious comfort, accomodating and attentive staff and service, and the variety of gourmet food in the restaurant as well as its in-room breakfast for saving time. The only thing to consider is that the location of the hotel is about 10-15 mins taxi ride from the main area so it is not very accessible by walking but its quality and staff's attentive service in providing taxi service outweighs this small hassle. There is actually a hotel shuttle service for entering the central area in early mornings which I believe is for business travelers and it would be great if the hotel could provide more service times for other travelers too.

I absolutedly loved this hotel. I've stayed at quite a number of large hotels in Beijing, and, even though this is a four star hotel, it beats most of the five-star hotels I've stayed in hands down. I stayed in a loft on the 16th floor. The room was huge and is more than enough to comfortably accommodate 2 people. The rooms were also clean, and room service was very curteous and prompt to reply to requests. The front desk was also very polite and the staff professional. The subway station is literally a 1 minute walk, and the bus stations are right outside the door, which takes you to all the major locations/universities in the Haidian area. I highly recommend this hotel. Will stay again for sure!

The location is very close to subway where it takes you to birdnest, water cube. It is also so close to A few universities. Hotel is very modern and staff there are very friendly and professional. The room is modern , spacious and I especially like the bathroom. Very clean and modern. I had dinner and dessert in 3rd floor restaurant. The cake is awful and cost YMB 50. That is only thing I am not happy with.

I chose the Liaoning Hotel as I had a meeting in Tsinghua University. The price offered on agoda was excellent for a lesser hotel and when i got there i was amazed at the room size, quality and finish. I ordered room service and got excellent fish and chips after midnight. The hotel is modern, spacious and the room impeccable. The staff are friendly and do their best to assist. I will certainly stay again for meetings in Tsinghua, where i walked to my destination building in 20 minutes from the hotel along a straight line.

The hotel is very nice and clean with a comfortable hot spring. But the check-in staff makes a terrible mistake. I confirmed with him several times that if my reservation is without breakfast. He said, "if you want to have breakfast at the hotel, you need to pay an extra fee." And when I check the reservation on agoda, I found that my reservation included the breakfast.

I have stayed here twice in the past month. 5/5 primarily for the location (3 mins walk to the nearest subway station-lines 10 and 13) and value for money. Very near the university district and ideal if you are planning to spend alotof time in the northwestern or central part of Beijing (it is less than half an hour to Nanluoguxiang by subway too, with only 1 change on the subway). Don't expect it to be at the doorstep of the Forbidden City. Beijing is a massive city and people underestimate the distances between destinations. The room is very comfortable, spacious and had every amenity I needed. Heating/cooling seems to be controlled centrally. It seemed adequately warm in winter but abit too warm in the afternoon. Positives - there are numerous power points in the room which can accommodate UK and Australian plugs. Some reviews mentioned internet wasn't working/slow but I had no issues using the LAN and Wifi on the 6th floor. Coffee in the deli at the lobby was not exorbitant, service at the 24 hours cafe on the ground floor was friendly (which is not what one always experiences in Beijing), food average but adequate. Also tried the Japanese restaurant on the 1st floor which had some good lunch sets. There is a busy street to the right of the hotel facing the subway station with plenty of eateries (24 hours KFC), local foods, bakeries and at least 3 well equipped convenience stores.

hotel is conveniently located near peking university and highly recommended for parents visiting their children studying there. there is a subway station that is less than 10 mins walk away that provides connectivity. hotel and its amenities are modern and clean though the pillows could be better (they are too soft) and the quilt blanket is a bit too warm. still, the room is decent sized the other is wifi connection. i brough my ipad and not laptop so i needed a router for my room but they were all loaned out. went down to use the free wifi at the lobby and was quickly connected. however, none of my whatsapp messages were sent. that's connectivity indeed!!

I stayed four nights and might return if I wanted a quiet place close to Renmin University. For visiting Renmin U, it's a great place. The links to other districts are convenient. Disadvantages are that the neighbourhood is ugly beyond the hotel grounds, especially in winter. I also found the service attitude lacking in courtesy. The staff are not trained well as they are in international chain hotels. I didn't even get a thank you or goodbye when I checked out, and this was a general shortcoming. More than one staff person had the chance to look me in the eye and say thank you or goodbye but instead they treated me like I was serving them. For this reason I am unlikely to stay again. It's too insulting. However I might visit just to use the pool. To my surprise, I had to pay 90 percent of the outsider's fee for using the pool even though I was staying at the hotel (not in the VIP building). I have never had to pay to use a pool while staying at a hotel before. Another annoyance, though small, is that the toilet paper is very poor quality. I don't mind coarse paper but paper that won't tear off into squares is troublesome. Also, the in-rrom safe was difficult to operate and should be better in a four-star hotel. On the plus side, the hotel has its own drinking water and it was nice not to have to worry about that (I drink a lot of water).

the location of the hotel is excellent. it is about 10 minutes walking distance from bus. you can get a taxi to the t station in $10. the room is fine but the bathroom is outdated. the tub is small even for 5 feet tall woman. the plug to the bath tub was stuck and i had to call the front desk to have someone to remove it. the electric teapot is outdated and has water stain at the bottom. called the front desk to replace one but they told me that all the teapots are the same.

The location is great. There is a bus stop right outside of the alley where this hotel is located. It would take you to either Yuanmingyuan or Yiheyuan with 1 stop, and 2 stops to Qinghua U. or Beijing U. The subway station is also within one stop by bus. The flowery trees in the traditional Chinese garden, the interior Chinese decor, and the glass bridge over the goldfish pond are all lovely. Best of all, the internet is working properly; very unusual for a Chinese hotel. The breakfast includes many courses with a reasonable price of RMB$30 per person. All in all, this hotel could have deserved a 5-star, if its service didn’t make me miserable. When I was having my breakfast, an attendant claimed that I was not the guest in my room, even though my room key holder has my room number on it. She said the guest was supposed to be a foreign male. I told her the front desk has the copy of my travel document on file, but she wouldn’t give up harassing me. Probably in her eyes, a female native Chinese speaker could not possibly come from overseas alone. Were you kidding me? Unfortunately, I booked with this hotel for 4 non-consecutive stays, so my misery didn’t just end with this one case. Keep reading my other reviews… 这酒店什么都好就是服务太差，我用早餐的时候居然有一个服务生一再来骚扰我，说我不是该店的旅客，说我的房间应该是一个外国男人，我的确是来自海外，但不是洋人，我的手上拿着房门钥匙套上有我房间的号码，酒店前台也有我的旅行证件影印本，凭什么一再来骚扰我？不幸我在这酒店订了4天，后面几天还有更糟的遭遇…..

My stay at GreenTree was fine. My choice was mainly based on location and price, since I needed a hotel in the Haidian District near Wudaokou and the major universities in Beijing. The price was very good, and the room was very clean, the bed comfortable. I liked how they provided bottles of fresh water and green tea packets so I could drink tea. I had to check out at 5am, and the process was very quick. I would stay here again.
