Good Hotel, clean and modern.
Large and comfortable room, minimal style with every comfort, the only thing missing is a wardrobe, replaced by coat racks with designer hangers at the entrance.
Original bathroom location at the entrance with modern sink, hairdryer, large mirror with LED corona lamp on the entire profile, large sink with single control, space for everything.
Opposite, separated by a soundproofed opaque glass door, the electronically controlled toilet and a large shower with glass door, shower head and hand shower, with non-slip stoneware floor flush with the external flooring, good drainage system around the entire perimeter that prevents bathroom flooding.
Supply of shampoo and liquid shower soap with a good scent. Large double and a half bed, and long even for oversized Westerners. New mattresses, with good support, medium soft pillows, two per person.
Light synthetic duvet and strictly white sheets. The change of bed linen is controlled by placing a plastic tag on the bed, otherwise it means that you do not want the change and give a hand to the environment. Giant 60" TV in front of the bed, with general Chinese TVs and some explanatory videos, for example for using a designer teapot for tea or herbal teas.
Simple minibar to cool drinks.
Water supplied every day in 500 ml natural bottles, free of charge. There is no wall in the fridge, instructions only in Chinese.
Electronic lock with badge (two badges provided).
There is no terrace, large window overlooking the tree-lined exterior, nothing special for the view, we were on the fifth floor, but in front there is a service area of the international university of Chinese language and culture.
We had breakfast in the hotel, typical Chinese, with many and varied oats and ingredients, self service, there is also an espresso machine, good, and squeezed drinks. Everything else is salty and spicy, steamed vegetables, some small desserts, some fresh fruit. People at the reception polite and helpful, the only problem is the language, English is spoken only through an app on the phone .... but in the end we understand each other. Hotel has no external green area, but it is in a good location, quiet, 15 minutes walk from three different Metro stations from which you can reach every building, park and tourist attraction. Metro is paid with Qr-Code dedicated to Alipay transport, appropriately configured with passport and personal details (in addition to Visa or Mastercard credit cards, also debit cards). Metro costs are negligible, about 0.4 or 0.5 euros per ride. Huge and exceptionally well-kept parks, be prepared for an average of 15 km per day! In 7 days we managed to see several, including the spectacular stretch of the Chinese wall of Mutianiyu just 70 km from the capital ... but we did not think we would find such a wealth of places to visit ... a second trip is needed! In summary, recommended hotel, very recent construction (less than 2 years in 2025), ok prices.
