Super en qualité et accès
Pros:

Hôtel très très bien placé pour visiter à qq pas du métro. L hôtel est très beau et la chambre propre et confortable. Petit dej très bon le meilleur de nos hôtels en Chine. Service agréable je recommande … bien qu’il ne soit pas dans le quartier de voyageur sa situation est au contraire appréciable car il est à qq pas du métro et il permet de voir toute la ville sans trop d effort. Par ailleurs la qualité du service et du petit déjeuné est très bien ce qui permet d avoir un hôtel de haute qualité avec une bonne situation. Pour les personnes souhaitant visiter avec un très bon service hôtelier alors c est idéal ! Haute gamme avec accès à tous les sites facilement même le soir… nous prenions le métro matin comme soir en famille sans aucun prob et la ligne est celle qui permet l accès à tous les sites et centres commerciaux … et d’un calme !!!!

Great family room, warm welcome
Pros:

We booked this hotel after staying at the Legendale for two nights. The Sofitel is clearly better but also a different style (modern instead on rustic). We were already happy having booked a large family room with a large sofa bed and a King for a family with a 21 year old son as co-traveler. We then got upgraded to an even larger, very spacious room on floor 21 with a very nice view. The hotel is a little less central than for example the Legendale but we found this minor because distances in Beijing are so big and DiDis so affordable that one takes cabs most of the time. Thank you Aria for the friendly welcome.

Pros:

Good location, good design, staff generally helpful

Cons:

Overall, I was unfortunately quite disappointed with the experience. I found it very surprising that in a five-star international hotel, the level of English spoken by the staff was extremely limited. There were only one or two staff members with whom I was able to communicate properly, which made even basic requests quite difficult.

In addition, the cleanliness of the hotel did not meet the standard I would expect from a hotel of this category. In several areas, the hotel did not seem to be properly cleaned, which was disappointing for a five-star property.

Another major issue for me was the handling of dietary requirements. I tried to request gluten-free meals in the hotel restaurant, but this could not be properly provided. In my opinion, this is unacceptable nowadays in an international five-star hotel, especially as food allergies and intolerances are common and should be taken seriously.

At breakfast, some items were labelled as gluten-free, but they were clearly not suitable for someone with coeliac disease. For example, sausages and bacon were placed directly on bread, which means they were contaminated with gluten and therefore could not be considered gluten-free. This is a serious issue, as incorrect labelling can create a real health risk for guests with dietary restrictions.
