Beijing Century Towers — Hotel in Beijing

Coming from someone who has pretty high standards, I didn't think that this place was THAT bad. I stayed here for a month in August/September.||||The apartment itself is very large - even for two people. However the apartment itself is not in ideal condition. Wallpaper is falling off, the bathroom has stains all over it. Worst- all of the air conditioners leak, in fact they have signs that say that they will leak. I woke up one morning only to find a puddle near my charging iphone (disaster waiting to happen.)||||The kitchen was such a scary mess that I kept the door closed for the entire month that I was there. I was afraid that I would see a rat or worse (fortunately I never saw one.)||||The location wasn't bad, it's literally several hundred feet away from the blue line which is necessary because it's an AWFUL location to catch a taxi. ||||The front desk is really lacking in English so if you need help, good luck. They also charge you if you run out of toilet paper before maid service comes and they charge for you for electricity that you use upon check out. ||||I would also suggest that YOU DO NOT use the GYM. I think I got asbestos poisoning just from exercising for 30 minutes. It was so disgusting - moldy and huge rat traps with machines from the 1980's.||||There also isn't any food available ( that a westerner would want) in the hotel. There's a mall across the street with a grocery store, Seven 11, Pizza Hut, etc.||||Overall, I survived staying in this place for a month and I am pretty high maintenance (but can be flexible.) It's not the end of the world, and I did feel safe and comfortable, I would just never stay here for more than month if I...

At first glance this hotel didn't seem to bad but as time went on it got worse and worse! DO NOT STAY HERE!||||The maid comes once a week, and every time something has gone missing. In my room alone food, paracetomol and money has been taken. Also have spoke to others who mentioned small items and bits & pieces have disappeared once the maid has been!||||In addition to this, the apartments/rooms are very dirty and in dire need of an upgrade. The air conditioning broke about 3 times in the first week there, and the bedroom blind broke on the first day. ||||The air conditioning was fixed but I did have to ask twice and the entire time the receptionist was rude and laughing at me with her chinese colleague. When I complained about the blind I was told to 'go to my room' and expected someone to turn up to fix it but to no avail.||||I ended up asking a further 2 times on different days before someone came to eventually fix it. In addition to this the hotel offers no safe anywhere on the property, which it really would benefit from especially with the housekeeping staff it employs.||||Also if you rent a room/apartment with the kitchen, most of the crockery is unusable, plates are stained with burn marks and our saucepan had a nice layer of orange rust sat on the top.||||Washing machines are also temperamental and are not reliable at all! I do not like to give a negative review, and you will see from my other positive reviews for places I do not expect luxuries when staying at a reasonably budget property but this...

First of all, this apartment is more like poorly run family business. The time you walk-in to the reception, there is no welcome feeling. The receptionists are like robots, just doing their job without emotions and only one of them understands English.||My room was at 5a west tower. To get to the room, I had to go through double doors, imagine going through fire exit door to get to the room. ||The room was spacious but was not cleaned properly. The kitchen utensils were sticky from oil. No plates, only saucers without cups and three smallest bowls I have ever seen. No tumbler. I had to call the reception the get cups/tumbler for water and the cleaner deliver 3 of them WET with her WET fingers inside the tumblers. Yeah the tumblers are old because they are yellowish.||No dishwasher or dishwashing liquid or sponge, no bottled water (China tap is not potable), no detergent. Nothing. ||Come to day to day cleaning, they only tidy up the beds and bathroom. They didn’t clean up the kitchen, not even wiping the bench top, not even tidy up the breakfast table. Forget about washing your used tumblers, it stayed in the sink untouched. It is supposed to be a service apartment but I had to clean after long day at work. It is absolutely nightmare.||Avoid this apartment at all costs, it is third world standard...
