Walking distance to Tiannamen Square (20 mins walking), centrally located and close to the Hutongs. Also, walking distance from the Jinshan Park.
The room was good and the facilities very good and modern
Breakfast was good. I think the options were too China friendly i.e. some items were quite heavy for breakfast e.g. rice based dishes. But overall, it was a good spread.

From entrance to exit, it is only a one-way street, so you can't exactly go out from the way you come in. They do have souvenir shops inside with average price. It is a long walk from entrance to exit with lots of seating area. From the exit, the nearest metro station will be at least 1,5km away. I think it's best for you to invest in Sightseeing bus for that day for convenience.

This hotel is absolutely amazing. Great facilities such as gym, swimming pool, bar, restaurant, also comfortable room, stunning reception, and delicious breakfast. Conveniently located near restaurants and local markets. 20 min by taxi from the Forbidden City. If I ever go to Beijing again I will look no further.
The hotel was very close to Tiananmen Square and the Forbidden City; we could easily walk there. It was also in the Wangfujing area, so close to lots of shops and restaurants. The bed was super comfortable and the room was clean. The staff were very helpful and it was nice to be able to check in at any time. Can definitely recommend for a few days in Beijing.
Very lovely and neat hutong-style hotel with excellent public transport options to all places across Beijing as well as Capital Airport. The rooms are clean and have everything one might need for a good city trip experience. Super friendly staff who are happy to help you organize all kind of sightseeing in the city and make reservations which can be tricky for some places (like Tiananmen Square, Forbidden City, National Museum etc.).
The Orchid really shines as a hotel thanks to the lovely staff, who speak excellent English and are more than happy to help with local recommendations, getting tickets for the Forbidden City, etc. I stayed in the smallest room type, which did not have tons of storage space but was very cosy. The restaurants attached to The Orchid are excellent (especially the noodle restaurant), and the hotel is located in one of Beijing’s most beautiful and walkable locations with tons of good food options and high quality local shops nearby.
I had a fantastic stay at this hotel in the heart of Beijing! The location was perfect—close to major attractions like the Forbidden City and Tiananmen Square, making it easy to explore the city. The staff was friendly and spoke English well, providing helpful recommendations. My room was spacious. The breakfast offered a great variety of both local and international dishes. Overall, I highly recommend this hotel for anyone looking to enjoy Beijing!
The Beijing International Hotel is perfectly situated. It is walking distance to Tiannamen Square and Forbidden City, to Wangfu Xing (the main shopping street) and Oriental Plaza in the west, and also to Silk Market in the East of the hotel.
From our rooms we had a great view directly to Chan An, Henderson Centre and the Train Station South.
The breakfast buffet is very rich and has a good selection for bith: Chinese and western.
Wonderful hotel with amazing staff and great location. This was truely one of the best hotels I have stayed in. Perfect location to explore Beijing and experience the local culture. Staff was very friendly and helpful with any questions or assistance needed. Metro station is very close and a lot of attractions (parcs, forbidden city, tempels) are in walking distance.
The rooms were quite nice, the beds comfortable and the courtyard was lovely.
The Hotel is located close to the metroline 4, which brings you directly to the summer palace, the beijing zoo and the northern train station. About half an hour away from the forbidden city by foot (but you can also take the bus).
But the very best thing about the hotel is its owner, Marc, who is super helpful with everything you need. He recommended us to lots of places, bought train tickets for us, we could buy a sim card at his place and so on.
Very nice hotel in Beijing
The hotel is clean, very well furnished, the swimming pool and gym are very nice
The room was great with a very nice view on Beijing and the Church close to the place
Amazing location, close to Forbidden City and Tiananmen Square ( fastly to go walking)
People were helpful and nice in particular at Conciergerie
Located in Beijing Hutong between 2 metro stations (within walking distance). Very near to Wangfujing shopping street and food! Walkable distance to Forbidden City as well (but about 20mins walk). Basic room with necessary amenities, but i love the shared pantry area which gives a homely vibe. Hotel is more like a youth hostel vibe, friendly staffs who will help to give recommendations on food and places on interest.

Winter is a good time to avoid the crows, but you still have to be early for the forbidden city and the smog is of course worse in winter.

Don't use the Tours that are being offered , learn to use the subway trains are very efficient .You can get around anywhere in Beijing for 2 RMB , so traveling anywhere is very cheap .You only need to pay for your entrance fees wherever you go . The forbidden City and the Summer Palace gives you a very good idea of their rich culture .

The main places to see are easily accessible and not expensive. The Forbidden City is amazing (I paid for the audio guide), and explains a lot about the life and times of the emperors who lived there. Walking around the hutongs gives you the opportunity to see a part of the city that is still as it has been for many years, so see them before they disappear!. Of course a day trip to the Wall will help you appreciate how the Chinese tried to keep marauders and invaders out of their territory - quite an amazing piece of civil engineering even though it didn't in the end prevent Genghis Khan from entering the kingdom.

You cannot!!!
You cannot!!! Unless it is deep winter and snow has fallen... But do yourself a favor - do not travel to Beijing for sightseeing on the first week of October (National Holidays). Third day of holidays 2014 (peak time of course is the first) Forbidden City count for a day was 140 000 people!!! Weather wise best is September...
