Mercure Tiananmen Hotel Beijing

Staff are extremely helpful and friendly, particularly the gentleman with glasses on nights and the lady with the low ponytail on day/evening shifts. Both were quick to pull out the translation app and answer any questions. Never made me feel like an inconvenience for only speaking English. The gentleman kindly helped bringing my lugguage downstairs when checking out early in the morning, and assisted with communicating with the taxi driver. Free fruits and a selection of soft drinks, water and teas/coffee replenished daily when the room is cleaned. Slippers and an amenity kit were provided. Black out curtains in room. Beds are comfortable. Short walk to Qianmen Station which is well connected for getting around the city. Near Dashilan which is great for shopping and local food. I would recommend this hotel to others.

This little gem is 20 min away by foot from the Southern Tiananmen Square entrance, in the middle of Hutongs and with Dashilar district close by. A classic inn with tiny, but modern rooms and a beautifully decorated inner court. Their most precious feature though is the kind and friendly staff. They helped with my luggage (2 floors without elevator), organized a shuttle to the flag-rising ceremony at 4 am, helped with any issues and offered luggage storing after check-out. In the evening you can listen to a talented lady playing Guzheng, Chinese zither, in the courtyard. A lovely experience.
