This hotel meets our basic needs. Relatively “clean” by local standards. Managed to communicate with the staff in the English language as they have a small translator gadget at the front desk. However, the lift doesn’t operate on the 6th floor so had to walk up/down one floor always. Lift door on level 5 does not open sometimes..... so had to walk up/down two floors :( Washing machine is available on lobby level which is great. Local breakfast is available at RMB15 per person. The following information may be useful - (1) Beijing Zhangze Hotel is the same hotel known as Jinjiang Inn on the map and is also known as Zhangze Beijing Temple of Heaven Hotel although it is over one Kilometre walk to Temple of Heaven Park, (2) The location for Zhangze hotel on google map is incorrect; actual location is where Jinjiang Inn is located on google map as they are the same hotel.
Additionally there is a local supermarket near the hotel which is a fantastic plus! To get there, turn left when you exit the hotel lobby; walk 100m and you are there. Note: exterior signage is all in Chinese but go to the basement and you will find the supermarket. Do remember to bring your own shopping/grocery bag as there is a charge of RMB 0.20 for each plastic bag.
By the way, the Temple of Heaven Park is a LONG walk away. The name of the hotel on online booking sites gives the impression that the park is nearby BUT...

The people at the front desk does not speak English so you will need a translator app to communicate with them. Overall it is a good option if you plan on...
