Beijing Palace Hotel

It is a very nice Hotel. It seems to be new and the rooms are very comfortable. The staff are friendly and helpful. It is also in a fabulous position. It is walking distance to Tiananmen Square.

Lovely property & within the hutongs. Walking distance to Tiananmen & subways & tourist bus to places of interest. Eg. Badaling Great Wall. Heartfelt thanks to the hotel manager for his kind assistance on the night of 21/9..

BEIJING PALACE HOTEL is not the name of the hotel. The real name of the hotel is XIN MINGJI HOTEL, and "Beijing Palace Hotel" is the English version. This is an important information to note because you will not easily find Beijing Palace Hotel on the maps and the local drivers also do not know this place. I arrived at 1am at Beijing airport, and had to ride a taxi instead. When I was out, I asked the Chinese drivers to drive me to "BEIJING PALACE HOTEL" and nobody can determine where that place is. I was then endorsed to a different driver who seemed to know where this is but also had a hard time knowing this. Due to this, he had to stop a couple of times and ask me where the address again is. At the end, I had to pay 500 CNY (around 100 USD), which I know is a scam or is too much, but I had to pay just because the I didn't want the hassle of arguing with a driver who doesn't really understand English, and someone who also had a hard time looking for the hotel. Even the tour guide, had a hard time looking for "BEIJING PALACE HOTEL", I had to give the phone to the receptionist so the receptionist can explain it to the tour guide on the phone where exactly XIN MINGJI HOTEL is. Also,when I asked for an assistance to hail a taxi to the airport, instead of them calling the standard taxi service, I was endorsed to ride the tourist taxi they are partnered with next to the reception, which is more expensive.

Very good location, a lot of shops and restaurants just a couple minutes walk. The room I stayed in has no windows but for the price I paid in Beijing is very good 👍 Room is very clean and in good condition. The hotel is off the main road, therefore, when you get off the taxi you have to walk 3 to 5 minutes (easy walk) The hotel is located in the center of the city, you can walk to all the attractions.

extremely difficult to find. Phone inside of room didnt work so kept having to go back to lobby 3x to ask for wifi, extra towel, and wifi again. mold n mildew

The location is brilliant. The overall condition of the room is found ok too. But they charged me RMB90 for a cosmetic stain on the bedsheet, is it too much?How they judge and calculate? i think its common to all hotel with stains etc. It is washable as it is only make up foundation liquid. So, pls be careful and not dirtying the room.

The hotel is located on main touristic street. Plenty of restaurants. 2 subway stations nearby. Staff doesn't speak fluent English, but understand main things - we didn't have problem with check-in and check-out. On check-in you have to put 500RMB cash deposit - like everywhere in Beijing. We had it back on check-out without any problem. Room was nice and clean. Everyday cleaning, fresh bath stuff and towels, 2 free bottles of water. Beds are surprisingly good, we slept on worse in Marriott and Hyatt. Important thing in Beijing - hotel has free Wi-fi in rooms, not only in lobby. And speed is pretty good. But you have to remember about Chinese firewall - Facebook, Google and many other things wouldn't work without VPN. We had only 2 concerns: Your Chinese neighbors may be very loud - again, like everywhere in Beijing. Air condition works fine to deliver fresh air, but fail to cool the room more than 1-2 degrees. Electricity is shut off, when you go away and take your key card, so you can't cool the room while you're not in hotel. During hot weather room was about 26C (78F). But overall for the price this is the great hotel.

Very good hotel in a superb location in qianmen street nearby tiananmen square. Important to note that level of english at reception isy basic and prepared to use google translate. We stayed in imperial garden room 8207 and get also -8 -9 for our child. Sub rooms on wnd floor large , brand new To be noticed a lot of rooms in 1st floor and basement dont get windows... Free breakfast ( chinese) but good Free wifi with a dedicated box in 8207 room Possible to book a taxi at hotel desk to airport (200 yuan very convenient Very geat overall

Pros: - Nicely decorated - ‎Great location - ‎Clean Cons: - Coming from the airport, our DiDi driver called the receptionist to ask what's the best intersection to drop us off, and she literally responded that she didn't know. This should've been something they trained all their staff on. - There's no A/C and the windows don't open, so the rooms get unbearably stuffy, even when it was cold outside. We had to go sit in the lobby for some air and during that time, we heard a ton of people call the front desk to complain about the air in the rooms. - ‎The wifi in the rooms is unstable and often becomes unbearably slow. Pair this with the fact that there is no cell reception in the rooms either means that you have a very challenging time doing any planning or work. - ‎They require a 500 rmb deposit, and only accept cash or UnionPay credit cards, which most tourists don't have. This means that on the last day, when you check out, you have 500 rmb that you'll probably have to take back to your home country and exchange. - ‎They have an airport shuttle which is almost twice as expensive as a DiDi Premier, the driver is rude, and on top of it all, he had the gall to make us pay for the toll. Whatever you do, DON'T TAKE THE AIRPORT SHUTTLE! I probably won't stay here again the next time I'm in Beijing.

Excellent location, that's the only good point. We booked a three person room, got a two person room, two beds, two towels etc. Staff could not speak any English, they tried to talk with phone app. No clean bed linen during four night stay. Two Chinese tea bags and cups and kettle provided, no coffee, no milk, no minibar as per room description. No windows. No food available in the hotel whatsoever. On booking airport shuttle, again after trying to communicate via phone app, the reception had no idea what I was talking about when asking for the shuttle. She continued to check out other people as I stood in front of her, completely ignoring me. In the end, we just walked out to find a taxi, which isn't an easy task either. One more thing, the hotel has no road access, you get dropped off about 300 metres away and have to find you own way from there and taxis haven't a clue where this taxi is, as it's not on a road.
