Este hotel esta muy bien situado, cerca de la estacion del tren . En la entrada del hotel hay bocas del Metro por tanto es muy facil desplazarse por la ciudad. Las habitaciones son amplias y comodas, los colchones algo duros. Hay muy buenos restaurantes en el hotel recomiendo en especial el japones y el de comida china del 2do piso. El personal de recepcion y conserges hablan bien ingles y todas las recomendaciones que nos dieron fueron acertadas. Regresaria a este hotel

Novotel is a brand name under Accor of a relatively low end mid-priced hotels. This was booked through www.agoda.com with no change, no cancellation policy at USD 71/night. When we checked in, we found ourselves assigned to the B building on the second floor. The room was older, with dark furniture, with windows facing the galleria but couldn't see out as their was some wall blocking our view outside. The room was too warm, we tried turning on the cooling and hot air come out, this was unacceptable. We went back to the reception, they informed us that it's winter and the air conditioning was turned off. They changed our room to the A side with a room facing the street for an additional CNY 80/day.

The difference in the look and feel was vastly different and a great improvement over the previous room. It was like day and night. The room on the A side was more modern, light colored wood and furniture from IKEA was the look and feel. Functional, adequate, clean, but diffinately not a four or five star hotel. In room broadband is available for an additional charge of CNY 1 per minute not exceeding CNY 100 per day. Free wi-fi access on the ground floor. Staying on the A side would have made the last part of our trip to China less enjoyable. Great location, a great tasting roast duck restaurant across the street facing the hotel.

The hotel was particularly nice. The room was clean and quiet, though surrounded by two busy streets and near a busy subway in the heart of Beijing. The staff was particularly helpful in arranging tours, providing guidance re: area visits, and making recommendations. I would highly recommend this hotel particularly for people who want to be in close proximity to Tiannamen Square, Forbidden City, Temple of the Heaven, etc. All within a short taxi ride or subway ride from the hotel. I took the subway to the Beijing Zoo, too, and that was very convenient.

Hotel was nice and beautifully decorated for Christmas. Staff was courteous and also spoke english. Not sure how far a "short walk" is - we took the bus to Tianamen Square, etc.

This was an excellent value for the money. We stayed in the Chinese section of the hotel and it was quite nice. The food in the restaurant was good with a huge buffet breakfast every morning. Met lots of travelers from Europe. The staff was great at answering questions and helping with taxi arrangements. We were right around the corner from the Forbidden City and couldn't have asked for a better location. We would definitely stay here again.
