Hotels near Tian'anmen

At the last minute, we booked Sunworld Dynasty hotel through the Agoda website. We stayed for five nights and the service we received is on par with standards of a five star foreign-own hotels (e.g. Sheraton). Most staff could communicate in English, which was helpful. (Not a lot of locals in the city can speak/understand English so it was nice to be able to speak our first language at the end of the day). Complimentary bottles of water were provided every day. We had a fair size room with a king bed. Bathroom was also a nice size with a shower and a bathtub. Turn down service was a nice touch. Note that there is only one non-smoking floor. Gym and pool facilities were also very good.

it was really a great experience at sunworld hotel, me, my family and friends really enjoyed our 5 days stay in kuala lumpur. they have smiling, friendly and accommodating staff and the rooms are very clean but cheaper. if you want to go on shopping you can just walk around because it's just steps away to shopping areas. oh our buffet breakfast and lunch were also the best, the foods and service looks like as if you are in a 5 star hotel. we recommend our friends to stay at sunworld hotel, the best place to stay in malaysia.

i loved this hotel, value for money, what you see in the pictures is well, what you would get. travelling with family with older parents. booked 1 deluxe room and 1 suite room. both rooms were spacious, new, clean, bright, comfortable. you get fresh, clean and white towels daily, laundry service good, all in all very satisfied. hotel staff are all very obliging and polite. toilets are huge, there's 2 toilets for the suite room, shower area of the suite room comes with high ceiling, good water pressure, bathtub etc. front desk was very helpful in answering our questions (eg: how to get to places, where to go to get certain things). it does live up to its 4 star rating, since most 4 star hotels in china tend to be more like a 3 star hotel. subway/metro station: dongdan station, abt 3 minutes walk. nice and quiet area. cons: menu for room service was limited, not near amenities (eg shopping centres/super markets).

hotel is conviniently located next to wangfujing which is a shopping belt full of good 'local brand' shops. the famous hot pot and the beijing roast duck. you can also find a hundred years old shop selling all sorts of fabrics; there is another shop selling hats. the things you can find at wangfujing is limitless. and near the hotel is the tian an men square where one can stroll the square and see the crowds !!

We stayed at Beijing North Garden hotel for 3 nights at end of Oct 2011. We enjoyed our stay. The best part of the hotel is its prime location on the first block of the busiest Wanfujing street, the start of this prime tourist pedestrian shopping street which is full of big fancy departments stores, huge bookstore next door, alleys full of small stalls and food stands are just steps away. It is located in the trendy new Mall of the Orient complex where Grand Hyatt is located but at the fraction of the price. It is approx. 3 minutes walk from the WFJ subway station, across the street from 24HRS McDonalds which has a dedicated coffee counter, surrounded by hundreds of restaurants and shops and shopping malls. Each nightly casual stroll discovered even more surprises on the main street and side alleys. The front desk ladies are reserved without smile, but they warm up later and proved to be helpful. The concierge bellboy doesn’t seem to know much but front desk ladies tend to cut in fast to help out. We had a very spacious executive suite on the top 11th floor with open living room with sofa and 360 degree flat screen TV, smaller queen bed, safe, fridge and small bathroom, all seem clean and safe. The carpet is tan color, may seem old and dirty to some picky ones, but it looks clean to me upon closer exam. The executive lounge on 12th floor is no longer operational and locked up. No free breakfast and we did not bother to check. There is constantly stream of empty taxis driving pass the hotel so finding a taxi is very easy. The front door is guarded by policemen 24 hours a day. No card needed to go upstairs. Elevators are always ready and fast, very few people around. Taxi to PEK airport from hotel was easy, we reached airport at 8AM in 30 minutes in slow driving in thick fog, 80rmb plus 10rmb toll, total 90rmb. It is not a luxury hotel, 3 stars, but clean and spacious, with the best location in Beijing, very satisfied with North Garden Hotel.

This is a great Chinese boutique hotel with a good location (10 min walk to subway station). The rooms are beautiful with Chinese decorations, but the AC and the bathrooms have been modified to modern times. I stayed during winter and the heater was working perfectly. The service is impeccable. I have been in 5 star hotels in Tokyo and this hotel was even better in service than them. Perfect English speaking staff. Always friendly and always accepted requests. This is a great value for the money. I recommend the bigger rooms as their decorations seem even better. Would definitely stay here again. 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!

This is the best hotel I stayed in Beijing. If you want to experience Chinese Culture in depth, you do not want to miss this hotel. The hotel is a heritage courtyard house of an ancient scholar back in the emperor's day (ask the luggage boy, he will tell you all about it). The layout of the rooms and garden, and the interior of the rooms and furniture are all very ancient style (not some cheap furniture), which will bring us back to the emperor's day, just like what you see in the movies. The staffs are all very friendly and polite, the receptionists and even the luggage boy. The luggage boy spend time tell us a lot about the history of this hotel, which make it more meaningful when you stayed in there. The location of the hotel is very near the City centre, in the alley way (hutong), but no big departmental store nearby. However it does give you a feel when you walk thru the hutong to the main street (quite safe in the hutong as there is a police station next to the hotel). 10 mins walk will bring you to a subway station, which will bring you to the downtown shopping area within 3 stations. Free wifi and broadband computer in the room, very handy. I will definitely stay in this hotel again if I go to Beijing as it leaves a very good impression.

The room was big and clean with all the amenities I expected. Breakfast was ok, but I have to give props to the hot pot restaurant, it was delicious and reasonably priced than outside hot pot restaurants. Location was good since it is near majors attractions but the hotel itself is located between 2 metro stops, so a 10 minutes walk to either metro entrance. Staffs were overall great, friendly and helpful, with the exception of the check in staffs of that particular night, they weren't mean or rude, just not particularly friendly or informative. I would definitely stay again though! Well worth the money and reasonably priced compared to other 4 stars hotels in the area.

The staffs services are prompt and professional. I was greeted almost every time whenever I walked back into the hotel and leaving the hotel by the bell boys. However, the front desk staffs should try to be friendlier and smiling. This could be improved slightly. There was an incident which I was pleased. I needed help to weigh my luggages before I checked out, just in case the luggages were over weighed. And I got help from the staffs to bring all my luggages down and gotten weighed and the luggages were brought back to the hotel room. I was indeed pleased to have gotten this kind of extra service from the hotel staffs. Definitely thumbs up and I have definitely enjoyed my pleasant stay at this Renaissance hotel.

While the staff deliver 5 star service the hotel's infrastructure is no longer 5 star, with the exception of the pool/gym. Ownership needs desperately to invest in a refurbishment of the rooms/halls, etc. That said, at the right price point, this hotel represents arguably the best hotel value in Beijing. Through a prepay/no refund deal available only on Agoda, my wife and I obtained a great price (excluding breakfast but including taxes for 5 nights in early Jan 2014) and, thus, enjoyed an excellent stay. Our grand deluxe room was quite comfortable and, when a few things needed fixing, the staff responded immediately and quickly resolved the issues. The lobby lounge is a very good spot for meetings over tea/coffee and the gym/pool are excellent. We did not eat in the hotel so no comment on dining. The location of the hotel is great and, for those interested, there is a subway stop less than 5 minutes walk. There are also coffee shops, bakeries, restaurants, etc., all within a very short walk of the hotel. In sum, while this property is no longer 5 star in overall quality and certainly not nearly the same quality level as the rest of the Peninsula Hotels around the world, at the right price point it is worth considering and for visits to Beijing. We will certainly consider it for our next visit.

the hotel is a 3/2 stars establishment just 10 minutes walk from forbidden city and tian an men square. it is located in nan he yan street which provides easy access to taxis but not too busy so you can have quiet nights for recuperating from your days of exploring the city. it has 2 subway stations within walking distance (wang fu jing and tian an men) so it is easy to go into different parts of the city. the staffs speak a little english so a little knowledge of basic mandarin should be useful. the rooms are huge and have adequate supplies of coffee/tea, mineral water etc and to huge relief, the bathroom has sitting toilet (a privillege in china) and nice shower. in all, the hotel provided a real value for the price we're paying (per night), especially in terms of its location and the quality of its room facilities

EChoose this hotel cause it is new and in the best location in Beijing. Staff are nice and helpful. Facilities are all in top grade. There is room to improve. Like better communication on check in, reception should tell us the room to room line is disable between 22:00 - 08:00. Adding a small rubbish bin in toilet room. One more tissue box in living room. A small table next to sofa for placing tea and food...etc. Anyway, the overall experience in this hotel is great and comfortable. Would like to visit again

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.

The hotel is in the city center and conveniently located near the Dengshikou subway station. It's within walking distance of Tiananmen Square and Wangfujing shopping district. The breakfast buffet has many choices and my family loved it. The staff was courteous and helped us purchase train tickets. The hotel is clean. However, the AC in our room wasn't cold enough in the hot summer in Beijing.

grand mercure beijing is well located in the central of beijing. close to subway and shopping mall, about 30 mins walk to tian an men square. the hotel itself is clean but very dated. overall, feel like the hotel needs a major renovation. specially, carpet, bathroom and its aircon systems (i.e. if next door someone smokes, the you can smell it in your room from the aircon). the room is big and staff are willing to help. internet costs rmb per day.
