Being non chinese speaking, the only people we reall managed to talk to were the hotel staff, this proved to be extremely helpful, as it was my first time in beijing - and had absolutely no idea of the language barrier issue! but with the help of the
... hotel staff i was able to move around with ease. By the second day was getting around by the subway. (the best way to get places and very cheap, about 70us cents per trip)
the hotels location was a little out of the city but ideal for meeting with suppliers, not as busy as city centre.
the room was excellent, very clean and for me the main thing - secure!
not many english channels though.
breakfast was great, despite the menu being almost the same for the 7 days that i was there. . .
i highly reccommend this hotel to anyone who decides to visit beijing - great value for money.
