Find hotels in The Antiquarium of The Palace Museum

"The Crowne Plaza Beijing was one of the best hotels I have ever stayed in - and I've stayed in a lot! The staff were amazing - they were so helpful, great English speakers and willing to do anything for anyone. The food was great also at the Club Lounge, Room Service & the Espresso Lounge. My room was huge! Super modern and great facilities. I would reccommened this hotel to anyone visiting Beijing - particularly if it is your first visit to the city. I can't wait to go back next year and stay at the Crowne Plaza Beijing again. Thank you to all the staff who made my stay so unforgettable!!!!"

"The hotel isn't too bad but just not perfect. Overall rooms and services are ok. Breakfast is the pretty much the same stuff every day although there is a relative wide spread. The hotel is not inconvenient but it is not within close walking distance. Perhaps the few minutes of walking would be tolerable but in the summer heat, any minute less in the heat would be good. The nearest subway about 5 minutes away is the Cultural Center station but it requires multiple changes of lines to get to most of the attractions in Beijing. Wasn't as convenient as if you would stay near Line 1 or 2 or 4/5. Overall, the price isn't cheap too and can be considered steep. For the price, much more is expected. Hotel staff at breakfast also needs to explain more about the signing of the bill every morning for the breakfast before guest misunderstood that we may need to pay for breakfast when it's included in our package. Pool wasn't too bad with a slightly hot tub besides it. Didn't go to the gym. "

"Very close to a very famous street called Wangfujing Street. You can find may traditional Beijing street food there. But the metro is a bit far away. 20min walking to the Palace Museum (the Forbidden City)."

"The courtyard hotel has a nice setting and a nice restaurant, food was also quite good. However, the bathrobes and towels were quite worn out with frayed edges."

"The most amazing hotel experience of my life! A beautiful relaxing view in the heart of the city. The design, smells(!), food and service were impeccable. A very good atmosphere generally in the hotel, something very distinguished in a good way about the decorum and tone set by the staff. Very helpful without being pushy. Shout out to Eva and Lily who were especially kind to us in way of finding the perfect room; making for an unforgettable stay. Very, very happy at the PuXuan. Highly recommended."

"We booked this hotel through Agoda (which offers the best deals for hotel bookings in Asia). Our rate for 4 nights was US 131.75 a night for a courtyard room inc breakfast. There was an issue with the power on the floor to our room when we checked in so they helped us to move next door to the Jade Garden Hotel for one night and for the inconvenience they upgraded our room to a fashion suite when we moved back to the Kapok Hotel. Breakfasts had plenty of local and western choices and even an egg station so you could have eggs cooked to order. Pros - the fashion suites are spacious and very funky. The bathrooms are really fabulous and large with huge circular bathtubs. There is a lounge/sitting area and large walk in wardrobe. There is also a large desk and office chair so it's ideal if you're there to do any work especially as internet is wireless (with also a wired option) and it's free. They also offer free water, free juice, nice toiletries, and have slippers and robes so there are definitely luxury touches and absolutely everything you need in the room - and that includes a couple of English channel TV stations. Cons - these larger suite rooms are on the front of the hotel and we were on level 2 and it's a little noisy early morning with the honking horns you get in from Beijing drivers but it wasn't too bad and I'm sure a higher floor would be better, the lighting in the bathroom and main room is dull - moody but dull if you're trying to put make-up on, or try to find things in the walk in wardrobe. The location of the hotel is very convenient ie walking distance to the Forbidden City and across the road from inexpensive restaurants. We would stay here again. It's a funky hotel and while it's not 5 star, it's pretty darn good and we've stayed at a lot of hotels in Asia!"

"Took a bit of a tussle even with the baidu map to reach this place, but once you find it, you'll figure directions easily - great location close by Jingshan Park (literally 200m away), the forbidden palace and other closeby attractions. Location is not short of eateries and supermarkets, and is accessible with buses and a 15 minute walk to 2 different subway stations. Although customer service wasn't eloquent in English, they tried their best and was very helpful at check-in and when we had questions about directions and getting to the railway station. Room was pleasant and wifi works well too - nice place for a quick rest for a day of exploring. I'd definitely recommend staying here and would book another stay if I visit beijing again. "

"Good location, in the heart of Beijing for this price? Unbeatable! The place is very clean, the staffs are super friendly, good breakfast selection, breakfast price is less than a cup of coffee. Highly recommend for anyone who is traveling on a budget."
