Xuan Wu Men

This one is a no- nonsense, centrally located hotel I would recommend any time for anyone to stay at when in Beijing. The building itself is not not the newest, but it's well maintained and looked after. Can't help but notice all the mixed reviews on Tripadvisor, I for one can say that I did not encounter any of the issues previously read. Generally speaking: staff members were courteous and helpful. Speaking English (or the lack of) is not an issue with this hotel, I've probably met 3 people throughout the 5 days I've spent in Beijing who did ( or wanted to) actually speak English. And now the positives: Properly working A/C, excellent bathroom, fridge, and a very efficient housekeeping! Location is superb, just on the Xuan Wu Men metro station! Pretty much in the heart of Beijing. I can obviously recommend this hotel!

This is a very comfortable hotel. The rooms are small but very clean and have got very nice bathrooms. The underground station Xuanwuman is just by the side of the Hotel. This is located in a nice place with shopping malls and good restaurants around. The restaurant for breakfast is also good with very friendly restaurant staff. few speaks a little English. The lobby lacks some comfortable chairs. This is a problem for someone waiting for another person in the lobby. They should have more chairs in the Lobby. will definitely stay in this hotel on my next visit.

We stayed for 5 Nights in Xuan Wu Men Hotel, I think the Hotel is quite clean and looks new...maybe some of the reviewer confuse the hotel, because there are 2 Hotels at the same street..one is old Hotel and the other one is new Hotel...we were in this new Hotel and were satisfied with the room... we have Internet access combined with TV and didnt need to pay extra, the room was cleaned, the bathroom was in 2 rooms divided, one for shower and the other is toilet...really convenient.... the bed was also OK and clean, all electricity work , we had hairdryer, enough bath shower and shampoo, Letterpaper, envelope etc. the room was tidy but tiny , if you want to stay here please ask them to give you room at 15 stage Negative : the staff were rude and they dont speak English, they really not look at your face or eyes when you talk with them...we are lucky because we have a CHINESE friend who can speak the native Language with the staff.... We just need this Hotel to sleep overnight and never spend our time in the Hotel....so we felt ok for the price and service...when we went back to Hotel.. we can direkt went to Internet and write some Mails or found some informations....its just convenience ..besides : just 2 minutes to Subway/ Metro, 3 minutes to Sogo , 10 minutes to Quan Ju De ( Peking Ducks famous restaurant) ......( all by walk ) and with subway you can reach almost many famous place in Beijing and we found this is the best practice...cheaper and faster as Taxi.... This Hotel have a very good mantou or Pao...they sell it also to pedestrian....you can easily find it at the side building ....next to the bread bakery...its really delicious! We would comeback again by reason of the all convenience......and of course not because of the Hotel's Staff
