Vienna Hotel Beijing Beijing Guang An Men Branch

I stayed here for two night. This Hotel is a nice hotel the room is good average size. Room was clean. It's a quite hotel. Service is ok Price I paid was ¥460 per night for Beijing a good price I think. Breakfast included. Breakfast is average no continental breakfast available. In that way it is a Chinese hotel and not an international hotel.

In fact I stay at this hotel because my organisation has a field office in the same building as this hotel and we get a great rate, relatively speaking. The room is relatively new, the hotel is less than 10 years old and the bed is actually somewhat comfortable not the standard hard wooded one usually finds in China. Room could definitely be cleaned a bit more thoroughly and as it is a hotel that still allows guests to smoke make sure you get one which isn't too smoky.Cable Internet provided in the room and included in the rate. TV channels have improved since the last time I stayed with a few channels from Hong Kong including CNN (what a surprise !!!!) and movies in English. Breakfast is not included in the rate and is a totally chinese one. A coffee and milk might appear in front of you if you look like a Westerner but that is about it. Skip the breakfast. You might consider the coffee/bakery shop right next to the hotel, which has some tables above the shop.Very little english is spoken at the hotel and unless you have a chinese colleague who can help you out, you might find yourself lost if and when you need something from the hotel. The hotel is quite central and taxis are plenty. The hotel has a restaurant which I have been a couple of times and not really enjoyed. There are plenty of restaurants around the hotel, a couple with great food and for those desperate there is also a McDonald and KFC two blocks away.
