I booked this hotel as part of a late Christmas present for my boyfriend. The building was exceptionally clean and the staff were excellent! If you don’t speak Chinese you might struggle a little; however, the building is well sign posted. Known as the first garden hotel of Beijing, this two storey stalwart building has a garden in the centre, which can be viewed from each room, as does it have an openable door with a small balcony. Because of the location, I expect this is a resort hotel with amenities close by. The room was very well appointed; equally so were the housekeeping staff who kept us in a good supply of Molten Brown and chocolate. Access to the executive meant a plentiful supply of top quality food and free-flowing liquor, which was perfect for the Brit! The swimming pool was magnificent and far beyond my expectations for a small non-chain hotel. I'm not sure who this hotel caters to because its location and homogenous supply of 48 rooms don't offer much flexibility. When we stayed in early January, which is probably the down season, there were only 8 other guests. For most people, this wouldn't be a problem; however, I personally like a bit of noise and atmosphere. That being said, it's not a critique of the hotel. Summary: excellent staff, excellent large room with bathtub and shower, balcony with garden view, executive lounge access with all room purchases, stunning swimming pool, quiet (possibly inconvenient (though you would know this before booking) and serene location.
