GreenTree Inn Beijing Guangmingqiao Hotel

This hotel isn't too bad, if you can put up with the following potential shortcomings: 1) Even after switching on the water heater for the shower, it takes forever for the water to heat up. And even then the water isn't very hot. Plus water pressure is low. 2) The shower drain is prone to getting clogged so be careful of overflowing water. 3) The mini-bar reeks of garlic and whatnot. 4) The hotel is very close to a bus station but far from the nearest train station, so if you're not familiar with bus routes in Beijing nor want to familiarize yourself with them this place is not for you. The hotel has a strict policy that guests must check out by 12 PM, but you can still store your luggage in a storeroom and come back and retrieve it later at no cost. To get to this hotel from the airport take the train to any station on Line 10, and from there travel to Panjiayuan (潘家园). From Panjiayuan there is a bus station nearby that serves bus number 34; take that to Zhongliuyiyuan (肿瘤医院). It was around RMB350 per night for a room with a king-sized bed and a super-single bed. I was pleased to find the pillow and bed comfortable. They do provide the basic amenities like soap and shampoo, toothbrushes, towels, combs and a hairdryer. The TV works and so does the wifi. There are restaurants nearby, in case you're feeling hungry. In fact just next door is a halal restaurant serving pretty fresh seafood at an affordable price, open for lunch and dinner. If you don't need to use the mini-bar, can live with poorer-than-usual showering conditions, and have no problems traveling by bus, you might want to consider staying here. But even then it might be best to try looking around for a cheaper hotel.

Staff are really reaaaally bad! Nobody speaks english, only one lady was patient enough to try to give informations. They didn`t clean the rooms at all. I don`t recommend this hotel to anybody. Except the good location, the rest was terrible.

We stayed here for 3 weeks. Excellent service. English spoken in reception. Internet worked fine, aircondition good to have when temperatures outside was 37 degrees Celsius. Fridge and microwave available. Clean and friendly. Two complementary bottles of water every day.
