Hotels near Xidan, Beijing

"Overall, I had a pleasant stay at this hotel. The hotel is new, very clean, and in an excellent location. The laundry service was outstanding, and the staff were friendly, professional, and always willing to help. However, I had one very disappointing experience. During my stay, the police visited the hotel and asked about the purpose of our visit, and we fully cooperated. Later that night, around 11:00 PM, they came back again while my children were asleep, only to ask for my phone number. This frightened my children and caused unnecessary stress. I have traveled extensively in China and had already spent several weeks in Beijing and Shanghai without experiencing anything like this, so this was very surprising and upsetting. To be fair, the hotel staff sincerely apologized and explained that this situation was beyond their control and related to the local authorities. As a thoughtful gesture, they also offered us a gift and a complimentary late check-out, which we really appreciated. Despite this unfortunate incident, the hotel itself is excellent—clean, modern, comfortable, and well-maintained. I would still recommend staying here. Thank you 💜"

"It was my dad's birthday during our stay, and the staff thoughtfully prepared a cake for him, which alone earns them a big thumbs up! 🥰👍 The hotel's dry cleaning service was also excellent and reasonably priced. The breakfast buffet offered a wide variety of options. The location is superb, within walking distance to Xidan (Hanguang Department Store and Freshippo) and Xuanwumen Station. There was a minor incident on the first morning: I saw a creamy scrambled egg at the omelet station (pictured) and asked the staff there to make it for me, but she replied, ”What creamy scrambled egg? I only have regular scrambled eggs.” 😅 Also, I'm not sure why there were so many cabinets in the room that we didn't use at all; it felt like a lot of wasted space. It would be better if they could streamline that. I would definitely consider staying here again on my next visit to Beijing!"

"My long-awaited business trip was made incredibly comfortable by my stay here. The hotel itself is spacious and open, with practical and complete facilities, creating a wonderful living atmosphere. The service, in particular, was truly impressive. The doorman proactively approached me, asked if I needed assistance, and helped with my luggage to the front desk – very thoughtful and attentive. The front desk staff were warm and polite, greeting me upon sight, and the check-in process was efficient and quick. The lobby has a dedicated delivery cabinet, which is convenient for guests to pick up food and also addresses food safety concerns – a really well-thought-out detail. The hotel's amenities are also perfectly suited for travelers. The gym on the second floor is free for guests to use, making it very convenient for a workout and relaxation during downtime. The self-service laundry room on the eighth floor is an absolute must-have for business travelers, completely solving the problem of washing clothes. Even with a large flow of guests, the service staff in the lobby area all performed their duties diligently and behaved courteously, maintaining a high level of professionalism. You can tell the team management is well-regulated and service training is thorough. The overall service was heartwarming and meticulous, making for a truly excellent experience. All in all, this hotel is highly recommended, and I wish them continued success in maintaining their high service standards."

"The hotel was clean and comfortable, and the breakfast offered a great variety. The staff were all very warm, thoughtful, and attentive. I accidentally left some clothes in my room, and when I called the hotel, the front desk attendant proactively helped me arrange a courier service. I'm very grateful for their assistance!"

"The room isn't very big, and water leaks from under the partition between the shower and the toilet, so after showering, the water flows all over the toilet area, making it impossible to use the toilet. Be careful when entering the lobby at night; if the doors are closed, push them slowly. There are no signs on the doors to indicate which ones are closed or open. There's a lack of 'push' or 'pull' signs, and I ended up bumping my head on a door when I came back that night."

"Apart from the great location (literally a stone’s throw away to the nearest subway), what stood out for me was the hotel staff’s impeccable service. We were greeted with a plate of fruits in the hotel room when we arrived which is rare, comparing with other hotels that I have visited. Moreover, I was surprised and thankful that the hotel staff readily accommodated our special request to pack a simple breakfast for us as we had an itinerary which required us to leave early in the morning. The hotel’s concierge also answered all my queries and questions efficiently. The room we booked was a 3 bedder family room and I thought that the room was perfectly big and spacious. The window view was towards the hotel’s internal courtyard space, I was personally fine with this. This hotel is perfect if you wish to shop as it is linked via a skybridge to all the shopping centres in the Xidan shopping district, perfect if you would like to do some late night shopping and conveniently return to your hotel when you are tired. Some additional tips for future travellers, if you are making a Didi booking, select the nearby China Post office as the location as the hotel is not directly accessible by car, there isn’t a drive-through for the hotel. This hotel does accept and receive Taobao parcels on your behalf for those who plan to shop. As for food delivery, this hotel does not have a robot delivery service, I collected my food delivery directly from the driver near the hotel lobby, not sure if the hotel can deliver your food deliveries to your door as I did not check with the hotel. Finally for amenities, there is a self service laundry room on the 10th floor but it is not marked from the outside. It sits along the guest rooms on level 10 and is opposite room 1009(if i remember correctly)and there are only 2 washing machines with no dryers. It closes at certain hours to avoid creating inconvenience to nearby guests so you would have to check with the concierge regarding the operating hours. To use the machine, you would have to scan a QR code on the machine with Alipay or Weixin and there is a minimal fee; less than a dollar. The breakfast buffet on the 8th floor had an acceptable variety and was affordable. For hotel guests the breakfast buffet price was subsidised at 50yuan per person, payable on the spot outside the restaurant, even though on their signboard it states that the price is 98 yuan. I managed to clarify with the concierge that the 98yuan price only applies to non-hotel guests. Overall Xixi Youyi Hotel offers great value for money with perfect service and location. Would highly recommend!"

"The hotel's service was excellent. The front desk staff were very polite, and the auntie serving breakfast was incredibly warm and proactive. The room was spacious and comfortable. It's conveniently located just a few hundred meters from both Xidan and Lingjing Hutong subway stations. Plus, there's a Ziguan Garden yogurt shop right across from the hotel, which is super convenient for grabbing a snack. Highly recommend!"

"The hotel is named 'Guohuai' (Pagoda Tree) because of an ancient tree in its courtyard. I was very satisfied with the room; it was quiet at night and the transportation was very convenient. Niujie (Ox Street) is nearby, and after comparing different places, I found that Yue Weizhai has the best lamb skewers, thanks to their dipping sauce. The milk skin yogurt from Ziguangyuan should ideally be bought at the airport so you can carry it directly onto the plane. However, we bought it on Niujie, and at the airport, liquids had to be checked in. It cost an extra 35 for packing and checked baggage, but thankfully, the milk skin was still intact when we retrieved our luggage."

"My overall experience at this hotel exceeded my expectations. The location is excellent, making it incredibly convenient for getting around. The lobby is clean and elegant, and the room hygiene was top-notch. The room itself was spacious and bright, the bedding was comfortable, and the soundproofing was very good. It offered great rest and excellent value for money."

"The room layout is well-designed and cozy, and the staff are incredibly nice. The hotel is super convenient for getting to Tiananmen Square, the Forbidden City, and the National Museum by subway; it's only about a three-minute walk to the nearest station. This is my third time in Beijing, and I just realized that the subway is by far the easiest way to reach Tiananmen Square and the National Museum. Don't be fooled into thinking Didi (ride-hailing) is convenient for these spots! Taking a Didi to the National Museum or Tiananmen Square is a terrible idea. Drivers can't drop you off directly at these attractions and will leave you a mile or two away. I ended up walking with my kid for 20 minutes in the scorching heat, sweating buckets, just trying to navigate there. Meanwhile, there's a subway station right next to the National Museum... it's incredibly convenient!"
