Lee Garden - Beijing”

We loved staying in the apartment. The location is very good, if people like walking then within walking distance to Forbidden city, Behai park, subway station, and several fancy hotels with nice options to dine. The apt itself was nice, had plenty of room for the family to have different simultaneous activities, reading, sleeping, and watching TV. The staff was very polite and efficient. Language was not a barrier with any of the staff. Also, the rooms are not noisy, did not hear the street or the neighbors. There is a local store next door to satisfy most needs, soap, milk, bread, eggs, etc. A block away there is shopping mall with Starbucks, food court, fancy restaurants, and a supermarket to satisfy any other need the corner store. The hotel has free Internet access in the room but no computer for public use or WiFi so unless you travel with laptop it is a bit limited in communications. I had to walk to a nearby hotel a couple of blocks away to do online check-in and so on. In general I woulk this place as excellent for either a short, medium , or a long stay. I am sure if we ever travel back to Beijing that is the place we will choose to stay at. Have a great time in Beijing and enjoy the stay at Lee Garden Aprtments. Ah!! If you are into big fancy or very specialized food, you will not find it at the Hotel, but a good basic breakfast is available with coffee, tea, bread, eggs, and some oriental dishes like noodles, some pork buns, and a few fruits and juices.

Loved this hotel; great location; great suite”

We walked out of the hotel, turned left 2 blocks and left again onto Wangfujing pedestrian shopping area. Best shopping was about 3 or 4 blocks down, across the street, in a "little China" outdoor stall shopping area. Had everything from "food" like baby pigeons and scorpions on skewers to American fitted Chinese night lights, X-mas ornaments, T shirts, etc. If you walk out to the right from the hotel, across the street and about 8 buildings down from out hotel was a restaurant set back with an outdoor courtyard that had nice food, very reasonable prices, better Peking Duck than restaurant recommended by our cruise ship. The next building to the right of the hotel offers excellent foot massages (sim. to reflexology). Great for emergencies. They even have wine. You can walk to Forbidden City in about 20-25 mins. We were on 15th floor. View was pleasant, even with construction across the street (building new Waldorf Astoria). We were next door to Peninsula Hotel. 2nd floor restaurant is a little expensive, but the buffet breakfast was wonderful. For what I thought would be a family hotel, it was VERY quiet on our floor. Lee Garden is a gem of a find, esp. at $94 a day for a one bedroom suite.

Look no further and Value for Money”

There are just so many hotels offers in Beijing. When chance upon Agoda's customer's comment, I booked the five days stay in Lee Garden Surely is a good choice I have made and all feedback were true that make my stay a wonderful one. Despite the checking in was a little hassel when they mentioned my name was not in the reservation list even showing them the voucher from Agoda.Delay for 30 mins, eventually a room of my choice was allocated to me. Credit card was asked upon for deposit, fine, just need a room quickly for my rest. The issue was settled the next day. There are just some many things to explore nearby, train station was just across the street with 10 mins walk, the door man, cheerful guy and very friendly and helpful when asked. Great guy, his smile is just as sincere. Walking distance to Tian An Men and Forbidden City, few shopping malls around, APM is good, level 5 and 6, good food and a Cinema too. Will surely book Lee Garden when visit Beijing again

Spacious and comfortable”

Lee Garden Apartment Lee Garden is a huge well-furnished apartment, despite being one bedroom (excecutive room). It an entry hall, a bedroom with two double beds (ideal for two friends travelling together) with four soft feather pillows on each; separate airconditioning controls for bedroom and living room. The living room itself was large with dining table and four chairs and a comfortable sofa with two arm chairs. The kitchen has a full-sized fridge-freezer, stove, washing machine and basic utensils, but why would anyone want to cook in Beijing with so many great restaurants around? The bathroom has a bath and seperate shower stall. Pros: Large pool in the basement with lockers and towels provided; Large comfortable rooms; Air-conditioning in both main rooms; Washing machine provided; Close to Forbidden city, department stores, restaurants; ATM / Bank next door Excellent spa next door Small supermaket around the corner open until late; Helpful staff, but some have very limited English. Cons: Old-style keyed lock which is tricky to use; The fancy washing machine/dryer had instructions in very basic English which I was unable to understand suficiently to operate machine correctly.

Wonderful amenities for a family”

We really enjoyed out stay at the Lee Garden Apartment. It felt like home from the time we arrived. There was plenty of closet space to unpack our bags and the separate living spaces meant that we could spread out and relax when we arrived home from a busy sight-seeing day. The kitchen area was a wonderful bonus and though we didn't use it a lot, it meant that we could make the decision to prepare our own quick meal, without heading out again. We used the washing machine a few times while we were there which cut down on the washing we had to do when we headed home. The Apartments are located in a really handy area off the main Wangfujing shopping area, with access to line 2 and line 1 (after walking through the Wangfujing shopping area) It is good 20 minute walking distance from the forbidden city and Tianaman Square, though catching a taxi is a great option as well.

Affordable luxury in the middle of the city”

this was our first trip to beijing, and with an 18 month old in tow, lee garden proved to be the perfect foil to make it a hassle free & memorable experience. we were greeted with an execeptionally friendly staff, and to boot, were upgraded to a one bedroom suite. even that one off incident apart, the level of service was consistently high. the location of the apartment, nestled a stone's throw away from the tiananmen square, forbidden city, wangfujiang night market & the like make it all the more convenient. the only blemish in my view was that the kitchenette was not as well equipped as one might hvae hoped (there were no rice cookers / hand blenders for example in the rooms, and they did not even have a common one that could have been borrowed temporarily - couples with toddlers will know the plight of missing these seemingly innocuous utensils) - but overall, two thumbs up!

Amazing”

I'm so glad we picked Lee Garden! I was in between 2 hotel choices and picked Lee Garden because of all the positive reviews about the friendliness of the staff. All of the staff were lovely and very helpful. We're a family of 5 (2 adults and 3 kids ages 7, 5, 2) and stayed 4 nights in a 2 bedroom apartment. We planned our packing around the in-room laundry and definitely made use of it. The location was fantastic; just 2 blocks from a main shopping area and walking distance to the Forbidden City. The kids loved the fitness center with pool, hot tub, sauna & steam room. The breakfast buffet wasn't included in our package, but it was so good we ate there every morning. I would highly recommend this hotel.

Great location. Good facilities.”

Lee Garden Apartment suites are excellent - well maintained, well appointed and clean. Separate bedroom (with large bed and good storage spaces for luggage and contents), spacious living room and kitchen (fully equipped with fridge/freezer, microwave, oven, washing machine etc). We made good use of the sizeable indoor pool but didn't check out the gymn stuff. The door staff were excellent and the reception staff were good. If you're an English speaker then you have to remember that English isn't always a strong point - although their English was better than virtually everyone else's that we spoke with. You also have to remember that these are apartments - not an hotel. The Apartments are very well located for sightseeing around Tiananmen Square and the Forbidden City. Both of these are within about a 15 minute walk. The only downside was ordering a Classic Caesar salad via room service: lettuce + dressing only, which we suspect was due to a misunderstanding of what goes into a Caesar salad, because when we rang up to query its contents they sent us up another plate of exactly the same thing. Consequently we never tried the in-house restaurant. That said, we enjoyed our stay with Lee Garden Apartment and would consider them again if we wished to stay in central Beijing.

Lovely Apartment suite and a great location”

We stayed at the Lee Garden for 4 nights. It was a two bedroom suite with a big master bedroom with an ensuite. We stayed in the second bedroom and used the main bathroom as our ensuite while our friends took the master bedroom. It was very private for both couples. We couldn't believe how close we were to subway stations and bus stops. We used the taxis on the first day, subway on the second and once we found out the buses stop right on the hotel's block, we said goodbye to taxis and subway trains. This hotel is also within walking distance to Forbidden City and Zhong Shan Park. From there you can also go to Tiananmen Square. If you're too tired to walk back, you can just hop on a local bus that stops close to Wangfujing Street.

Great spacious location for family”

lee garden is a really good base for a family in beijing, it is close to the forbidden city and right next to a major shopping area. we had a two bedroom apartment. when we arrived at about 1 am after the flight from australia they had us in an apartment with two queen sized beds, which wasn't what we wanted for our teenage boy and girl. they very quickly switched us next morning to a bigger non smoking room with twin beds in one room and queen in other. having a kitchen meant we were able to buy breakfast ingredients from the supermarket which is located in the basement of he nearby shopping centre. staff were very friendly and helpful. wifi is available at the 2nd floor lounge though for some reason they switch it off at 10pm.

Lee Garden Service Apartment-Beijing”

We stayed at Lee Garden Service Apartment for 7 days. We booked the studio apartment. they have a kitchen with mini coffee maker. the bathroom has a washing machine which is a plus for me. the hotel is in wangfujing and close to all the shopping places. there also a convenience shop just beside the apartment. the bed is comfortable for me and there a 2 sitter sofa right in front of the tv. there is a wired cable for internet access. just remember to bring your laptop. will stay there again if i go Beijing again.

Great hotel/apartment with excellent location”

from excellent staff, to great location, to in-apartment washing machine -- all aspects of this hotel/apartment were expertly designed to provide all the amenities necessary make a stay in beijing a rousing success. worthy of a standing ovation. hotel is within 15 minutes walking distance of the forbidden city and tiananmen square. 2 blocks away is wangfujing pedestrian shopping street with its snack alley. a 45 minute hike gets you to houhai area (bell & drum towers). trip up to the pagoda at jingshan park (just behind the forbidden city is required to get a bird's-eye view of the scale of the whole imperial complex area.

Excellent Stay”

Overall I would say that I loved my stay at Lee Garden Service Apartment. We were given an early check in on the first day as there were available rooms, this was extremely helpful as we took a midnight flight into Beijing and arrived at about 6am, you could imagine our group was really exhausted and really appreciated the rest we could get before we head out again. The staff were very friendly and helpful, the apartment was clean and tidy. We enjoyed the facilities, the heated pool, sauna, steam room, and swimming pool. The kitchen proved to be very helpful as well for cooking breakfast and midnight snacks. Beds were clean and hard, none of us complaint about back pain. Keep up the good work and we look forward to come back to Lee Gardens at our next visit!

Exceptional”

We spent 2 weeks in China, with the last 2 days in Beijing, staying at Lee Garden Service Apartments. We were not really sure what to expect despite the good reviews. But the Lee Garden was exceptional and frankly the best facility we stayed at during our trip. The public facilities are very nice but really best is the room both in terms of quality, cleanliness, and features. From a very nice kitchen area with a large refrigerator/ freezer, to kitchen items, and a washer/drier including detergent, to the living room couch, and other furnishings. Bottom line, exceptional and very good value.

Great Hotel near great location with Great Price”

I original book a two rooms at a Hotel near Wangfujing. Manage to find Lee Garden services apartment which has two very good size room. The apartment also comes with living room and kitchen. I saved 40% of the hotel stay compare to booking two room in a hotel and get a bigger place. Lee Garden is only 5mins walk from wangfujing and 15mins to Forbidden city.

Great hotel at great location”

Such great service from all the staff. They were always ready with a smile and tried their best to fulfill any requests. We arrived early as i wanted to leave the horrible cordis airport hotel. Room was ready and they let us have it early. I also requested for a late check out as our flight was at 4pm which they obliged so willingly. Room was made up daily and washer/dryer and bathtub were a plus as we travelled with our 3 year old. The pool, gym amd little kids room were great too. Microwave and induction to do some light cooking. Location was great. Just across a huge mall called Apm and short walk to wangfujing snack street. Great roasted duck at Da Dong near wangfujing train station. Much better than quanjude. The gou bu li bao opposite quan ju de is a good try too! A 20min walk to tiananmen and forbidden city. Wont hesitate to stay here again if im back in beijing.

Excellent accomodations for large groups”

Lee Garden hotel definitely a great place to stay if you are traveling with family or groups. A two bedroom easily accomodated the group of 8 I was traveling with. The rooms are spacious, and they come equip with a full kitchen. Location wise is awesome, you are in the heart of wangfujing. Subways and shopping around the corner, forbidden city is a short walk. The hotel I would definitely recommend, the staff is very friendly and helpful. I would stay here again for sure! Oh and not to mention price wise it's a def bargain for a quality hotel

Great apartment in an excellent location”

for a visit longer than 5 days lee garden service apartment is cost effective, enjoyable, good location. we had small kitchen to make our own breakfast and snacks; washing machine; separate bedroom and living room, good internet connection suitable for my professional work. very comfortable room. within five minute walk is wangfujing shopping street and the nearest mall had a grocery in the basement. the macau center immediately next door has restaurants on 2nd, 3rd, and 4th floors. metro stations are about 10 to 15 minute walk.

Great Value, perfect location”

We originally booked the hotel for a stay over New years and decided to extend our booking for our entire stay in Beijing. We booked a 2 bedroom apartment for our family of four (2 Adults and 2 8yr old children). The apartment was not only spacious and comfortable but it was well appointed(a few things were noticably older but didn't make a difference to our stay). The kids LOVED the apartment and didn't want to leave hotel most days(it was also FREEZING cold outside). We used the kitchen and washing machine and dryer in the apartment quite a bit. All of the hotel staff were helpful as well. They were able to direct us to local supermarkets(there's one around the corner and one located in the mall about a block up). We're happy to recommend this hotel to people travelling to Beijing. It's walking distance to many of the sites and a short taxi away from most others. We had a wonderful time in Beijing and at the Lee Garden Apartments!
