Find hotels in Tiananmen Gate (Gate of Heavenly Peace)

not having ever stayed in a 5 star hotel we have nothing like it to compare to. however, we were very pleased at the service, cleanliness, and presentation of this hotel. very spacious deluxe room, and the normal room service (cleaning, re-stocking) was terrific too. there is an indoor pool that was a bit on the cool side, but it didn't detract from our daughter having fun in it. free, clean, magnet-locked locker room, and clean showers in locker room. several dining options available, the coffee buffet decent, not grand. the 20th floor italian restaurant, though a bit pricey, was fancy enough and tasty, with amazing views overlooking downtown beijing (tiananmen square, part of forbidden city). hotel in excellent location, just a few blocks from above named attractions. we would definitely stay here again!!

We stayed at the Hotel for 7 nights. The Hotel is conveniently located within the Wangfujing shopping area and also near to attractions like the Forbidden City (we walked there from the Hotel) and Tiananmen. The Wangfujing subway station is 10-15 minutes’ walk away but it is not a difficult walk as there are shopping malls along the way. Airport shuttle bus (25RMB) stops very near to the Hotel. The Hotel has a good gym and swimming pool. The room was a little old but spacious and overall acceptable and no problem with the air-con. The Hotel staff from the front desk to the concierge to the housekeeping were friendly and helpful. We would especially like to thank the young man from the concierge who was working on 18 May ~9pm. We were having problem with an external agent over a tour booking and approached the staff for help; he was polite and full of initiative to help and even used his phone to help us call the external agent. Overall, a very good hotel!

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.

The location of this hotel is super. It is located at the heart of Beijing. Tienanmen Square and Wangfujian Street are within walking distance. A Western style shopping mall is nearby. It provides me coffee and breads every morning (I love Chinese foods but I still need American coffee and breads ^^). The staff of this hotel are kind. For example, one female staff made a local call (because I had no local cell phone) to contact my friend in Beijing when we arrived; another male staff helped us to secure an official taxi (of which you need local taxi APP; again, I don't have a cell) and guarded us not being "robbed" by unofficial taxi drivers in front of hotel's gate for our own safety. In sum, I will stay this hotel if I visit Beijing again.

Everything about the hotel have a high end feel and look in a modern Chinese style. I was upgraded to a deluxe room with a big ceiling to floor window facing the city. The hotel has good location, 25 mn walk from Tiananmen square. Subway station is just at the right side of the hotel building (1-2 min walk). There is a starbucks in front of the hotel. The gym is huge and very well equipped. The pool is delightful. You won't want to leave.

We had a wonderful stay in the Hilton. I had asked them to pick us up from the airport and they had an airport representative waiting for us at the gate who helped with suitcases etc. very well organized. Hotel is in a great location within walking distance of Forbidden City, Tiananmen square and shopping. Concierge desk arranged a car and tour guide for us who was excellent. Was not so impressed with the restaurants in the hotel only the coffeeshop downstairs was quite nice.

I stayed in room 616 and overall it's an excellent solid choice if you're in the mid-range budget. There are places that are cheaper (<50 USD/night), but I don't think it'll be this comfy. This place makes me feel like sleeping in a 5 star but only paying fraction of it - very value for money (paid about 80 USD/night after Agoda discount voucher - originally 90 something). You can also stay in more expensive hotels (200-300+ USD/night), but I don't see the need for that after experiencing Park Plaza. Location: - Literally 2 mins away from the metro gate Dengshikou - Wangfujing street is about 3 blocks away, but Tiananment is a long stroll (20-30 mins - but who visit Tiananmen everyday anyway? as long as near metro, you're fine) - Cab driver can find it easily (I printed the hotel name+address in Chinese and map) - Seemed to be upscale location; we literally saw 2 couples in the same afternoon taking pre-wed pics at Jinbao street. And there's a lot of high end car showroom on the main street as well. Room: - Bed was comfy, not hard as I heard in other hotels in China - Room size was quite big; did not feel claustrophobic compared to hotels in Japan - Design is modern, kept clean. TV is LCD flat screen, model from 2 years ago so relatively new. - The wall is quite thick although you can still hear sound leakage from the hallway - but not a big annoyance - Water pressure no issue. Air con also fine (controllable in each room ). - FREE internet (although I did not try due to no laptop) Service: - Booked via Agoda, check in/out was no issue - we did get the king bed in new tower as requested (so your note during reservation is attended) - Did not try the room service but when I asked for a bucket of ice, they come within 10 mins - Most staff speaks English, if someone is confused with your question they will immediately get someone else who speaks better English to attend to you - No safety issue, we placed our items in safety box everything is intact. We use

we are frequent travellers to usa/europe/south-east asia but this was 1st visit to china so were a little apprehensive in booking this chinese run hotel. hotel was much better than our expectations, clean spacious room on 11th floor,fast check-in & reception staff pleasing to talk in english,daily cleaning/change of linen towels. hotel location about 150 mtrs from 2 metro stations on either front side of hotel,efficent beijing subway system to travel, downtown area like wangfujing steet about 250mtrs,tianmen square/forbidden city also about 1km from hotel walking but why walk as take the train /metro to tianmen etc which is the 2nd stop cost 2 yuan only/1st stop is wangfujing street. shopping persons must go to silk street/yushoi mkt & bargain repeatedly but you get all you want to buy branda at far lessor rate than europr etc, from the hotel take metro to Yongli which is 1st stop in the reverse direction to tianamen square, from yongli station exit to the gate of super mkt/silk street this mkt is opp soho area.taxi from beijing internationa airport to hotel is yuan

I stayed several times at this hotel the last years , always booked executive suite which includes a fantastic breakfast as well as access to executive lounge , if you come first time to Beijing you can schedule a pickup at the airport through the hotel, someone will wait for you at the gate , walks you through immigration and custom to luggage claim and in a few minutes you sit in a nice clean Audi A6 on your way to the hotel, the staff is very attentive and friendly , as a frequent guest it feels like coming home , hotel needs some repair and modifications but overall it is my favorite hotel in Beijing, great value fir your money , I will be back again

Our stay in Novotel is close to perfection. The location of the hotel is near Wangfujing Market (where you can shop for food and souvenirs at the lowest price), walking distance to Tiananmen Square, Forbidden City, and shopping malls. The room is also great and so is the food (breakfast). Though majority of the receptionists do not speak english, they make up by looking for other staff who can. Overall, I can consider this as one of the best vacations I had. Thanks to Novotel Beijing Peace Hotel for being part of it.

We are happy to book in Crowne Plaza as this is very accessible to everything. Shopping mall, restaurants, supermarkets. Very near touriat attraction Forbidden City, Tiananmen Square. Stores are everywhere. Its Value for Money. Location is a Plus although the hotel itself is quite old already but they managed to maintain its cleanliness. Staff are polite and courteous but they speak a little English only that there is language barrier between hotel guest and front desk Clerk.

The Beijing 161 Wangfujing Courtyard Hotel is well located, only a 15 minute cab to the Forbidden City and Tiananmen Square. What is really special about its accommodation is its characteristic Hutong setting which allows you to really immerse yourself in everyday Beijing local life style. Every day as we would walk out of the hotel through the Hutong you were surrounded by neighboring locals going on with their day. I believe that staying in a Hutong is a much more rewarding experience than staying at a fancy 5 star hotel on one of the main streets since the Hutong allows you to time travel and experience a much more ‘real’ China. In terms of the hotel’s service its ok - the staff were nice and helpful except for one instance on our last day - they said they would order us a cab for the airport and when there weren’t any cabs available they did not seem to care (Even though we were going to miss our flight). We had to leave the hotel and hail a cab on the street.

This is a very nice courtyard hotel in Beijing. We paid extra for the hotel to provide transportation from the airport and it was a good thing we did because it is VERY hard to find. Cab drivers will not take you into the hutong neighborhood, nor will they pick you up there. We arrived at night and I don't know how we would have found it ourselves. The good: Very pretty and peaceful hotel with a great breakfast to start your day. Near Forbidden City, night market, etc . . . The bad: Staff would not assist us in obtaining transportation when we left. We had to drag our luggage down the alley to a main street to get a ride (about 10 minutes). The door to my adult son's room was left open by housekeeping, not just unlocked, but open.

Stayed one night at Kapok hotel at the beginning of October. Upon arrival, I was immediately impressed with the lobby/reception area. There were 2 small "outdoor" terraces and reading area/booths. The decor throughout the hotel was sleek, modern, funky and creative. Check-in service was neither swift nor slow, but staff were pleasant and informative. Perhaps what I liked most about Kapok hotel was the room. Stayed in the Fashion Suite, which was spacious, immaculate and tastefully and thoughtfully furnished. There was an LCD tv with plenty of English channels and a super modern telephone with more functions than i knew how to handle. The hotel is very generous with toiletries (shaving kit, toothbrush set) and other perks such as slippers, complimentary water and 2 bottles of juice. Bathroom was large with a unique layout. Glass weight scale was a nice addition, if only it worked. The only negative I can think of is that I couldn't find an iron in the room! Location is excellent - 5 min walk to the east gate of Forbidden City, across the street from Donghuamen market (overhyped) and about a block away from Wangfujing. Service was also top notch - staff helped me fetch a bicycle for hire from a nearby vendor and volunteered to call a taxi to the airport. For the amount I paid and the value I received, this is one of the best hotels I've ever stayed in and I've stayed in quite a few all over!

Having spent a full week in 5 star hotels in Shanghai and Beijing changing into this hotel was a risky adventure, however, my curiosity was rewarded and all my expectations by far exceeded. Not only is this small typically Chinese hotel well connected to all the major sights in the center and a metro line , but alsolocated in a charming traditional Chinese neighbourhood that is so much more appealing than a environment of contemporary concrete and Westerns shopping malls. The court yards are inviting for a rest and there are flowers, birds and gold fish and you can enjoy a heavenly peace at night.The rooms have Chinese furniture and for all your needs is being provided for. And, although being small, the rooms are very practically and one can even enjoy a touch of luxurious comfort. The service is just excellent and the staff bright and very efficient. They have a good sense of humour and are very helpful for planning your sight seeing. They even offer you a bike for free! Very pleasant is also the bar where you can watch football and chat with the other guests as this hotel gives you the feel to be guest in a private home where you meet friends of the owner. Breakfast is majoring in Chinese food and there is plenty.Those used to grand Eureopan breakfast buffets might not be so well being catered for. In any case , when back in Beijing, I will certainly come back again to this very exceptional place and warmly recommend it to all who really look for a charming small hotel to remember.

This located at the strategy location and having a bus stop just in front of hotel. There are buses to forbidden city, tiananmen, and other point of visit. Is also bear to nanluoguxiang which is around 15 mins walking distance. There is a bakery selling bread and a mini market just same row of hotel with 3 mins walking distance. Cleaniness is overall good but please take note that please ask there staff to change the bathrobe everyday as there don’t get me new one everyday for my total stay at there for 8 nights. Breakfast is good but limited choices of foods. Overall will recommend this.

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.

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.

This is a wonderful, cheap and convenient hotel. I had a great time. The location is slap bang in the middle of Beijing. The closest subway is only a few blocks away. Reception don't speak any English, but people who complain about this lack creativity and insight. Just download a translation app, and vuala you're in business. The people here were very nice and smiled every time I passed by. Do your research on the places you want to visit because unfortunately the English level is very low.

We arrived at about 2am in the morning, the lobby is very small and looks rather "2-star". Check-in was done promptly. And we realized that the hotel has lots of room as the upper floors are made up of at least 5 - 6 shoplots. A basic hotel with no facilities BUT we enjoyed our stay throughout - 1. Very good location, with Tiananmen/ Forbidden City, Wangfujing and Donghuamen Street are well within walking distance. There is a bus stop (on the left) within a stone throw from the hotel. Metro - Both Wanfujing station and Tiananmen East Station are within walking distance. 2. Room size is not big but good enough for 2 persons; mattress is a bit hard though (which is pretty common in Beijing/ China). Basic but clean. 3. All hotel staff is very prompt and helpful (we have no issue communicating as we speaks Mandarin). Asked for directions and all explained patiently, even help us to google the info when they are not sure. We originally arranged to stay in another hotel for the rest of our 3 days in Beijing but later decided to stay on till we fly back home.

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.

This hotel is easy to find (we travelled by airport express and subway - cheap, quick and interesting) and very close to Tiananmen Square and the Forbidden City. The Grand Mercure has an impressive entrance and is welcoming and clean, with a really excellent bedroom (we were upgraded to Executive Suite on the 10th floor). The buffet dining has a wide range of Chinese and Western food on offer and the staff are friendly but could perhaps be a little more proactive. Service one evening was quite slow, but the food was very good. We arranged the trip to thye Great Wall in the hotel and it was really good. We would stay here again.

I went to Beijing to visit my son (23), who is studying there. I booked a twin room so that he could also stay if he wanted, which worked out perfectly. He said I should not have booked a hotel in a tourist area, because of the cost, but it was worth every penny! It was a 10 minute walk to the nearest subway station (Tiananmen East), and the metro cost only TWOyuan(20p)per journey, but taxis were also very cheap (20 yuan or 2GBP to anywhere central, and 100 yuan or 10GBP to the airport). We walked to the Forbidden City, Tiananmen Square, the National Museum, and to Wangfujing Street, and got the metro to everywhere else except the Great Wall(metro then bus). The hotel room was perfect, with comfortable beds and a big flat screen TV which doubled as a pc, so when we were exhausted at night from all the sightseeing (always LOTS of walking involved!) we could download movies in English and watch them from our beds! Our rooms were cleaned every day and used toiletries, bottled water, towels etc were replaced. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Taxi drivers always found the hotel from the hotel card and I even rang the hotel during the day if I needed directions to other places from wherever I was! I recommend this hotel as a sanctuary to return to after a day in hectic Beijing. Lovely and warm in winter!
