Cendre Hotel

It's a very popular hotel with social media fan fare, so I booked it to give it a try. It's located in a residential community, a bit difficult to find, but once inside, one can easily feel the modern designs and thoughtful touches in the hotel. There are only three double bed rooms in the entire hotel, so good luck if you are looking for one. The TV service could improve a lot. Other than that, the room was very nice.

I enjoyed my stay at the Cendre. I personally like the area, which is vibrant and pleasant to walk around, but that's because i'm familiar with Beijing. For first time tourists, this property is a bit far from the subway. I liked the breakfast (for a non-5* Chinese hotel; whereas the equivalent would usually serve greasy Chinese only), and rooms were spacious. No service issues either. Unfortunately Internet was slow and sometimes unusable, and whilst the rooms are still clean and in good condition (and i'm fussy), you could see the early remnants of required attention to detail - such as to calcium buildup in shower heads, and edges of the showers (still OK, but need to think about a deep clean soon before it deteriorates).

Very nice quiet hotel set back off the main street. I was in the deluxe room which was really big and felt like a suite with a dining table, seating area, a walk in robe, big bathroom with separate bath and shower and a balcony. I would definitely stay here again.

Amazing room and friendly staff. A bit far from the metro though.

Superb!
