Oriental Garden Hotel — Attraction in Beijing

We stayed for a couple of nights, prior to our return home.||The building and lobby did not leave a lasting impression, however the twin room equipped with two semi double beds was adequate for our family of four (with young children).

Kind advise to the kind management and staff of this hotel would be to notify the residents in advance of any maintenance, which should be better planned to be carried out overnight, when the likelihood of using key services by...

We stayed there for 10 days and were the only non-asians as far as we could see. This explains some of the negatives comments we saw on TA. ||True: part communication in english in challenging ( mainly with the numerous trainees, more senior staff speaks english) but in hosnesty, the kindness and efforts displayed by all staff to be helpful despite the barrer language becomes a strong plus for the hotel if your stress level is below 8 out of 10. With a combination of simple english words, google translate, smiles and hand mimics, we got by all the time.||The room was perfect ( suite 610) at a moderate price. it was big ( 60m2?) with a living room and guest toilet, a sliding door and a large bedroom with nice bathroom. small minue the combined shower/ bath. it was very quite and the bed was...
