JIANGUO Hidden Hotel Beijing Tian An Men Wangfujing store — Hotel in Beijing

Smaller bed but much more floor space which was great because it meant I could actually lay my luggage flat when packing all my clothes and souvenirs before flying back. Door for closet was partially broken and they temporarily fixed it with tape. If you zoom into the photo, you can see. Initially there was a smoke scent so I went down to the reception to ask for an extra room card so I can slot it in to keep the exhaust running so that I don’t have to come back to the same problem as I have a sensitive nose. They asked if their help was needed to handle it (how? I’m unsure) but I declined. The scent was cleared up pretty quickly so if that is an issue for you, this was a potential solution. The window is rather small but helped for ventilation as this was centrally heated and somehow was set at 28 degrees. Though, cleanliness is not up to par as the little nook was a little dusty. Toilet is really clean and why I actually was convinced to book this hotel (other than the location) but a minor problem is that water would leak from the shower screen onto the floor so if that’s a problem for you, maybe set the bath mat a little further away. Lighting is kind of poor so if you want to do your makeup, your best bet is by the bed, with the curtains open and a handheld mirror. This room is situated near the lift and faces the street. (portion copied from my other review) That being said, yes sound insulation is rather poor and you can hear people talking from the other room, proving stereotypes right that Dongbei people are loud. Babies can be tolerated, but god damn was the lady louder than her child who was still in a stroller. For a clearer reference, you can hear a hairdryer being used from opposite the hall. You can also hear when someone is using the bathtub upstairs. Usually was not a big deal since I have headphones in but I wasn’t wearing them throughout the night so I was woken up because some people at this hotel have no decorum and decide to loudly discuss their plans in the...

Our room smelled like cigarette smoke right when we got in, even though we booked a non-smoking room. We told the staff using a translation app and they moved us to a new room. They sprayed the new room which helped. Later in the day, I turned the A/C on and the smell of cigarette smoke started coming through which was horrible. Our room had no windows, which is what we booked, but we couldn’t air out the smoke smell at all. We told the staff again and they offered to move us again. The next room had a window and had a faint smell of cigarette smoke but they explained that there was nobody in the rooms near us so I shouldn’t smell smoke anymore. We left the windows open all day with the A/C on so we could air out the room and that helped a lot. Thank goodness for the staff who helped move us! It is very unfortunate that the rooms say non-smoking and there is still constant smoking. So just be aware if you have a health concern and can’t have smoke smells! The staff were excellent and helpful! Our Alipay app wasn’t working to rent the to-go phone chargers and they still let us use them for the day and pay later. The hotel is very close to everything, which was great for food choices. The hotel had a washing machine and dryer which were free to use which was so great. The gym was very small, but that wasn’t something we needed for our stay. We didn’t have the breakfast or any food there. We mainly wanted to explore and just have a place to sleep in a clean bed. I wouldn’t stay again but nice staff and...

Jianguo Hidden Hotel probably has the best location since it is next to a metro station (Jin Yu Hu Tong 金鱼胡同) and Wangfujing. It really does make it easier for first time visitor to get around especially Beijing metro now accept foreign credit card.The hotel interior displays typical modern simple Chinese design with spacious lobby. Check in was smooth but my parents’ room had a weird chemical smell at first. Hotel was quick to find a replacement room and luckily the second room was fine. The only thing we didn’t like was that we couldn’t control the AC in room since it was centralized. Since we came in late October, the AC was set to blow hot wind. Unfortunately, Beijing was still rather warm but we couldn’t use the cooling feature and had to open the window. It’s nice to be able to open the window but it was quite noisy outside in the morning since it is next to main road and also the pollution. Hotel offered breakfast but we found it was quite expensive for what was offered so we decided to eat breakfast outside (plenty of choices). We will definitely reconsider staying at Jianguo hotel again the next time we come...
