Beijing Sentury Apartment Hotel

Not quite what we expected, mostly because it doesn't seem to be a hotel aimed at tourists. Getting someone to understand any English was near to impossible. Not really ideal for families with young children - safety wise. Slippery shower floors, and balcony doors opening up to unsafe balcony not able to be locked by adults. "Breakfast" was in a filthy restaurant, with nothing that we recognised as edible, apart from a couple pieces of fruit. Floors were dirty in the apartment. No touristy information or pamphlets to be seen, so if you plan on staying here, organise all your day trips before leaving home! As non-smokers the smell In the hotel, and ash trays in the apartment was off-putting.

Great service from lovely staff. Excellent breakfast!

The hotel was nice, and they are a "apartment hotel" so our room had a kitchen which was nice. The rooms were clean and big with TV and HBO. There is a convenience store downstairs and we went on a nice privae tour to the Great Wall arranged by the hotel. The location is the hotel's real downfall. It is not close to any subways or attractions. You need to take a taxi and if possible have the hotel name in Chinese or the phone number. There isn't wifi or computers to use either, which was disappointing. There are also no internet cafes nearby so if you don't have a laptop to use there ethernet cable, you are screwed. It was also a bit hard to find a restaurant close to the hotel. There were a few small chinese restaurants but we couldnt understand what anything was. We also needed to book train tickets, which they couldn't help us with. However, luckily there is a train ticket operator close to the hotel on the way to "super house international" little shopping center. (right, left, and left at bridge then straight) So the rooms were great, but because of the locations and lack of amenities I would not stay here again.
