My client in Beijing recomended the hotel and I am glad they did. The room was what you would expect for a nice hotel and had a very nice bathroom. They had a good selection of international channels available in English, French, Spanish, German and of course Chinese.

They have two resturants and one bar in the hotel but there are two other hotels within walking distance that are owned by the same company and allow you to sign meals to your room.

The staff was incredibly friendly and were always available.

The hotel is located near the SouthEast part of town which makes it convenient to get to the Business Development Area (BDA) and also close to the city center for access to the forbidden city and Tienamen Square. There is always a line of available taxis right outside the entrance at all hours.

Me and girlfriend went to Beijing, mainly to travel and see those magificant histroical monumnets in Beijing.
Hotel is well manager by Shangri La group, so you do expect good manner staff, good rooms. The location is good good.
just 5 mins walk to a SOHO properties, great place to spend time in.
Nothing to compare about, unless you are looking a hotel with more style and taste.

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.
