PALACE GARDEN Tai He Fu Hotel

The environment is imbued with a very strong Beijing culture and atmosphere, which is really great. When I went out for a walk in the evening, I actually saw two peacocks. What a stunning sight!

Firstly, the hotel changed its name and now it is called - Palace Garden Hotel. Secondly, the hotel is located far from the city center and some distance from the main road. But there is a metro station "Life Science Park" within 10 minutes walk. The one-story hotel is built in the traditional style of an old Chinese palace. In the room where I stayed there was no bed and the bed was right on the floor. The room is very small, maximum for two. Instead of a TV there was a projector on the entire wall. Although there is nothing to watch there since there is absolutely no content in English. The hotel has a very beautiful courtyard with a large old park and a pond. There are many buildings in traditional style and everything is very beautiful. This is probably its main advantage, it is very unusual. Minimalist breakfast in traditional chinese style. The only downside I can name is the absolute lack of knowledge of English by the staff, even at the reception.

Room is clean & comfy. Nice environment & oriental surroundings. Staffs are overall very nice and helpful. Breakfast is great with many choices available. Abt 30 mins' drive to Summer Palace, Yuan Ming Yuan & Tshing Hua.. abt 800m from the nearest metro station. Just 1 thing to improve on.. when we arrived at the concierge at night there was no one to help with our luggages & brought us to our room.. and there was no chairs for us to sit on.. after several requests a very young lady came to help us with a little trolley to carry more than 7 luggage bags.. it made me wonder, were there no men in the hotel? Anyway it would be much better if there are chairs being placed at the concierge area 'coz the reception is quite a distance from the waiting area.

Outside the hotel at the main road, much construction works were carrying out, it was noisy and dusty. Dont think can use the metro so be prepared to use Didi. The service and food (breakfast and buffet) in the restaurant were excellent. Room was clean and quiet. Scenery inside the hotel was good and peaceful. The peacocks look bad, tail feathers all gone. Close to Summer Palace and Qing Tomb. Will stay in this hotel again

Lovely stay at the hotel, room very comfortable, very nice selection for breakfast. The bunnies and peacocks are super cute 😊 Although far from central Beijing, it’s reachable by transport and also closer to train stations that serve the link to Badaling Great Wall.

Very beautiful hotel with nice friendly staffs. Room and bed is big and comfortable. There is mini animal farm at their backyard. Kids will love it. The only downside is there is nothing nearby except for a mini mart at entrance, so not much option for meals except in their on site restaurant which is very exp.
