watch out of the drinks !

Hotel staff were very helpful and sorted out any problem that I may of had very efficiently. One smal problem with a cocktail that I had ordered two nights running. Ordered a champagne cocktail the first night, not cheap by the way, and ordered the same the following night. This time I was by the bar and the barman poured it out whilst crouched on the floor and I saw him pouring a sachet of something into it. I asked him if it was champagne and he said yes , then I asked him to show me the bottle. It was a pink sparkiling wine ! I told him to get some real champagne , he ran off and came back with a bottle of Bollinger, at least that that was what it said on the label ! Anyway the fact remains that even though they charge top prices they still tried to make even more out of you by giving you cheaper products. Beware of what you get.

Ich hab jetzt seid mehren Jahren bei ebookers gebucht. Aber diesmal war ich sehr enttäuscht. Das in China keine Europäische Qualität herrscht, war mir bewusst. Waren aber keine 4 Sterne, Jugendherberge schneidet sicher besser ab. Frühstück war ok. Zentral gelegen aber wir haben uns lange nicht mehr so unwohl in einem Hotelzimmer gefühlt. Vielleicht hatten wir auch nur Pech und hatten das schlechteste Zimmer im Hotel. Sauberkeit war sehr schlecht. Staub in jeder Ecke und unsere Zahnpaster haben wir Abends im Waschbecken immer noch gesehen. Selbst am ersten Tag, haben wir einen Käfer im Bad entdeckt. Schade. Unsere erste schlechte Kritik seid 4 Jahren.

Guter Standort, modernes Design. Die fehlende Abtrennung/Türe im WC ist definitiv ein Manko.

Hotel in guter Lage

Das Hotel ist ganz okay. Man merkt, dass es bereits einige Jahre hinter sich hat. Das Frühstück bietet nicht so viel, jedoch ist es auch in diesem Aspekt okay. Die Lage ist super. Liegt genau zwischen dem Kaiserpalat und der berühmten Wangfujing street. Für eine kurzen Aufenthalt in Peking ist das Hotel ideal. Preisleistungs-Verhältnis ist in Ordnung.

Kurzurlaub

Ideal für einen Kurzurlaub in Peking, sehr schönes Zimmer mit prickelnder Panaoramaaussicht über das nächtliche Peking. 24 Stunden Supermarkt gleich daneben. Metrostation aber doch einige hundert Meter entfernt. Nachtmarkt und Einkaufsmeile gleich daneben. Verbotene Stadt in kurzer Gehweite.

chambre non conforme à notre demande

nous avions reservé une chambre pour 3 personnes avec un lit double pour un couple et un lit simple pour notre fille , arrivés à l'hotel quelle n'a pas été notre surprise de nous voir proposer une chambre avec 1 seul lit de 2 places , aprés d'apres négociations , la réception nous propose 2lits d'une place et demi , lorsque nous avons revendiqué un troisième lit , il nous a été proposé une chambre ( suite) la seule disponible d'aprés la réception de l'hôtel, moyennant un supplément de 100 EUROS /JOUR !!! nous sommes trés déçus de cette situation qui 's'est imposée à nous : nous avons dormi tête bèche dans un même lit d'une place et demi !!!!!!!
