This hotel is in a great location, right in the middle of business district, above a great shopping mall, with a subway station that allow me to travel all over the city. Taxi is very cheap also. There is a shuttle bus from the airport although it may take some patience to know which airport bus to take and where to get off. The chinese name of the hotel sounds like "Quao-mao" . Saying that to the bus or taxi driver will help you get to the hotel easier.

The staff is super friendly, and very attentive. I always feel very welcome in this hotel. The ratio of hotel staff to customer is amzaingly high. If you enjoy being pampered, this is the place to consider.

The room size is adequate, and the room are always clean.

There are some thoughts to share here though.
(1) The gym (free) is located in China World Hotel nearby. You would have to walk to the shopping mall to get to the gym. It can be kind of inconvenient for some. The gym is WOW nice, so it is worth the walk, I think,
(2) The hotel may want to consider upgrading to flat-screen TV.
(3) The bathroom floor is very slippery when wet. So be very careful, Hotel should really consider replacing them in any upcoming remodel efforts.
(4) There is construction nearby at this time, and can be noisy during some days. If you need to sleep during the day time, you may want to book another hotel at this time.

Other the minor items above, this is a great hotel. I definitely would stay here in the future because of the great location and super service.

Excellent service, staff seemed very eager to please.
Varied choice of both continental & asian breakfast.
Wasn't too impressed by 'the Oriental' restuarant.
We tried a full body massage which was nice.
Only drawback was the construction site across the road.

Traders is a comfortable and well-located hotel for business travelers. Beijing hotel prices continue to increase, but Traders remains a good value, especially compared to its sister hotels in the same area (Kerry Centre and China World) which are posh but at a price. Traders' rooms are small but adequate, the hotel staff are pleasant and helpful, and the location in the World Trade Center makes it easy to shop (also within walking distance of the silk market) or take public transportation if you're daring enough. It is also a short ride to the main train station. I stay at Traders most times I pass through Beijing.

I spent 2 nights at this hotel on my wa to other locations in China. This is a fantastic Hotel, the staff are friendly at room are nice and clean. Just a little advise for new travellers to Beijing - English is not amazingly popular here. On arrival I showed a taxi driver the address of my hotel, but as it was written in english he didnt have a clue. I had to phone the hotel from my mobile and then pass over the phone to the driver so he would know where to go. The rest of the trip wasn't too bad as I met up with an old uni friend who done all the translating for me :-)

Other then the language barrier outside the hotel its a great place to stay.
