Check in/check out process: Quick, and fast. No hassle. I arrived after midnight and was quickly checked in after settling the documentation and the deposit. ||||Room: Huge, spacious, comfy and warm bedding and pillow||(I even get a cloak room! For your clothes to be hanged and functions as a changing room. The room safe is in this room (even though I can't get it to function) )||||Toilet: comes with bathtub, rain shower, towel warmer (a plus if you love warm fluffy towels). Nice toiletries. ||||The front office is on the 3rd floor, unless you go for breakfast/ gym, you will rarely go to the 3rd floor. ||||Security: You will require a key card to every floor. The security is on the ground floor. ||||Local snack shop: There's a shop selling local snacks, frozen food stuff, canned products on the ground floor. Good for tourist who intend to buy local food stuff back. ||||Transportation: It is rather easy to get a taxi from the hotel. Just ask the concierge to call the taxi for you. However, if you want to travel by the train, the distance is quite far. The hotel is in between 2 train stations. About 1.5km (10 mins walk) from Dongzhimen station (a super huge station). The walk to Beixinqiao station is shorter (about 5 mins or 750m). If you are carrying many luggages, I highly suggest that you skip the trains and just take a cab. ||||Hotel to airport fare is about RMB75-85. ||||Location: Dongzhimen station is just under Raffles City, a small shopping mall. ||If you come out of the hotel lobby and turn right, the entire street is lined with restaurants on both sides, serving baby lobsters.

Read moreI cannot express how much I enjoyed my stay at the Beijing Qianyuan Hotel. I stayed here 7 nights and it felt like home. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. The internet connection was the best I ever had in China which is critical for me since I work remotely. The room was comfortable, fashionable, chic, everything worked perfectly. Location is perfect. I stayed in two hotels while in Beijing, the Qianyuan being the second hotel, my first hotel was by the Forbidden City. I highly suggest this area of Beijing because it is close to restaurants that are open 24 hours a day. Several tourist sights. It is very easy to get around Beijing and the friendly staff here will help you with ordering taxis or whatever you need. The hotel was perfect in every way. Having stayed in 4 & 5 star hotels across Europe and USA, I can assure this hotel is on par even better with those of Paris, Berlin, NYC or San Francisco which is where I live. I will even say the staff at the Qianyuan Hotel is better than most any other I have encountered. Each staff member I interacted with took it as their personal goal to make me happy and make sure I was satisfied. The staff's attention to detail is evident throughout the hotel. I really cannot say enough about how wonderful my stay here was. And again, regarding the internet, which again is critical to my work/business – it was the best I have had in China. If I were to live in Beijing, I would want to live here. I will be back in Beijing next year, 100% for sure, and will spend my entire trip in this hotel. It...
