“Room for improvement”

Sofitel Wanda Beijing

Nov 10, 2007

I stayed at the Sofitel Wanda Beijing for three night in late September. I would rate this hotel as 4 1/2 stars by my standards. It was a very nice hotel but their were a few things that I did not like about the hotel that would prevent me from staying their again. After a 14 hour flight from New York I attempted to check into my room at 6pm on a Sunday. The front desk told me that the hotel was very full and that my room was not ready. I then had to wait for 2 hours for a room to become available. While waiting in the lobby I noticed that this hotel had at least three or four wedding receptions going on at the same time. Do not stay here if you are looking for a nice quite and relaxing hotel. I felt like I was in the lobby of a casino. The room itself was very nice. The bed was very comfortable and the bathroom was quite luxurious. The fancy LCD tv on the wall would only work half the time. The hotel claims to have a "fabulous location" on its website but I found that statement not to be true. Their is not much close to the hotel and if you want to go anywhere you need to hire a car or get a taxi. Overall, this hotel is almost 5 stars. With a little work it might even get there. In the meantime if you are looking for a true 5 star hotel I would stay elsewhere until they get their act together.

“Nice hotel in Beijing. Great Japanese restaurant.”

Sofitel Wanda Beijing

Nov 7, 2007

Nice hotel with great service in Chinese, English or French. Really helpful concierge, that always point us to the right place. Nice room with wifi access. Fantastic Japanese restaurant with sushi but especially yakiniku (Japanese barbecue) with Kobe beef....

“Great, but by no means perfect.”

Sofitel Wanda Beijing

3 of 5 stars
Shanghai
Oct 26, 2007
1/1 found this review helpful

The hotel at first glance is pure luxury and glamour. The lobby area is impressive and well designed with crystals, lush draperies, chandeliers and clever lighting. However, one night's stay will reveal all it's flaws and much needed attention to details. Problem areas:
1) the TV did not work because of a faulty connection behind the flatscreen TV. I'm obviously the first resident of this new room.
2) they must have been fixing a light bulb in the bathroom before I checked in - they left a ladder in the bathroom and left a lot of dirt in the bathtub
3) again, I must have been a ginna pig - when I first turned on the shower hose, mud water came out. Watch out folks!
4) the water kettle stored in a cabinet near the front door - no where near the mini-bar - who would have thought?

Overall, the decor is impressive, the staff friendly (English not superb though), and situated in a good location in Chaoyang. However,
the hotel is not value for money until they pay attention to the details that make or break a five star luxury hotel.

“Not Luxury”

Sofitel Wanda Beijing

Oct 23, 2007

Hotel is elegant but rooms are poorly designed and less obvious room areas are dusty. Pool is not operating, and no place to buy sundries. Spa can't even provide manicures. Lobby staff are alert but not all well informed. In (long) walking distance to Silk Market but otherwise long walk to casual dining. Hotel dining is predictably expensive. $30 US for breakfast and $100 US for dinner buffet. Some mechanical issues reported from other room guests. Nice club level. Adjacent to large Walmart, which is a good thing.

“A Real Gem in Beijing”

Sofitel Wanda Beijing

5 of 5 stars
Melbourne
Oct 21, 2007

This is a fantastic, brand new hotel in Beijing. The Wanda building complex itself is rather non-descript from the outside, blending in with the other large grey building's in classic Russian-communist styled Beijing. The lobby is very stylishly decorated with ultra-high ceilings, and the hotel staff were courteous if not perhaps a little inexperienced. The rooms themselves were very spacious and modern, with free wifi, cable TV for the bath tub, as well as a plasma screen for the bedroom. The shower area was nice with an extra large shower head, with motorised window furnishings separating the bathroom from the main room, as well as the windows. Very comfortable and luxurious experience all up. Highly recommended.
