Beijing Qianyuan Hotel

Conveniently located around 15mins walk to Dongzhimen and Beixingqiao subway stations. Got a family room with 2 double beds. Room was spacious. Bathroom was huge, but the shower floor was quite mouldy. Visited during the start of Winter. Room temperature was 26 degrees and was told that hotels are not permitted to provide cold AC in Winter due to Beijing government policy. Room was like an oven every evening when we return to hotel, so forced to open window to let cool air in (as well as mosquitoes because the window has no fly screen). Consequently, my two kids got severe mozzie bites all over their faces and bodies, especially because they have strong allergic reactions. Also, unable to obtain information about tours from front desk - was advised the reason was due to them being a business hotel.

Pros:location and price. Room is fairly large in this area. Staff seem deal with guest delivery very well, even though we don’t use this service. Cons: staff are not well trained. They don’t do anything other than saying hello. We have baby pram in and out all the time. Those concierge staff never bother to open the door for us. They just standing there and looking…My check in experience was also awful as they couldn’t find my booking in the beginning and have to let me wait for almost 1 hour without any compensation. I have to contact trip.com with very poor internet reception….. Breakfast has good range but nothing is delicious….. Overall this hotel is fine given this price, but I probably won’t choose this hotel anymore. There are many good ones in town.
