Hotels near Beihai Bridge in Beijing

I stayed 31 nights during january 2024 at 7 days inn hotel. I chose this hotel because it was very close to the subway, in the center of Beijing and the heating system was good according to the reviews. I changed room the first day so I could have a little bit better room. The previous room had no universal charger and was very dark, the windows in front of a wall. My room was on the first floor, just next to the shared bathroom and to the water dispenser. The room was very big and quiet (unless people talk in the corridor), not a lot of light but some rooms has more sun light than others. No fridge inside but since it was january I put my food outside the windows if I wanted to keep it fresh. If you want to warm some food, you can use the microwage in the commun area but I never used it. The commun area is very close from the entrance door so it was very chilly. The staff was nice but almost no english. They explained to me how to use the washing machine and once the wifi was not working so they helped me. Internet was definetly not very good but I was able to watch youtube with my vpn. I will start now talking about the shared bathroom (which I already knew was shared when booking) but I didn't know the toilet would be squat toilets. I think if I knew before, I wouldn't choose this hotel. There was no lock in the toilets. The shower room has one and was very cold (because winter). The hot water was always there but I took my shower usually in the morning (so less people). The shared bathroom was dirty mostly because of clients that didn't clean after their buisness. There was regulary water on the floor so I was just going with my shoes on at some point. The washing machine was broken the first 2 weeks and then got replaced. I'm still a bit confused if clients can use it or only the staff, but I used it anyway. The area is maybe a bit empty at first but if you go to the Hong Qiao Pearl Market, in the basement there is a big food court where you can try chinese food (or subway and macdonalds). Overall I liked my journey in this hotel but I think it was too expensive for a shared bathroom this old and dirty. I paid 1000 euros for 31 days.

Everything was perfect, from check-in to check-out. Nice breakfast, good staff, ideal location just a short walk distance to the Xidan metro station, big malls, and endless food courts. The only one that I could mention - is a design of a bathroom and toilet with semi-transparent glass and sink in the room, that could work great for couples, but not best fit for same-sex colleagues :) I would stay here more in the future, for sure.

Stay away! The saving grace came from Trip.com which enabled me to terminate our booking without penalty. Awful garbage smell in the room. We checked in at 1am due to late flight arrival. Upon entering the room we we’re concerned about a strange smell in the room. We thought it would go away so we just opened the window. It was late we decided we would ignore the smell but by 6.30 am we couldn’t ignore the foul smell anymore. So we wrote to trip.com to terminate our booking. By 9am we’re ready to check out. At the checkout counter the staff was gracious and friendly and she said our booking was terminated at our request. Just too many faults with this hotel room. Chair needs to be replaced. It easily toppled backwards. Toilet door can’t completely closed. Not sufficient electrical outlets to plug your devices. Curtains are dirty. No hooks in toilet. Only positive staff was friendly.

I really enjoyed my two stays here. Staff are very nice - particularly the manager when I was ill and had to do a late checkout, thank you! The beds are clean and comfortable. Location is good as it’s very close to a Line 2 station. Love the aesthetic of the hostel too and the cafe. I just had two problems: 1. I wish there was more separation between the bathrooms and the cafe/the door to the hotel. When you go there you’re visible to the cafe and to the street as the bathrooms are right next to the entrance, so if it’s early and you’re in your pyjamas it’s a bit weird! Also there is no lock to the showers - just a door and then curtains to the cubicles which I didn’t love as anyone from the cafe could just come in if they wanted. 2. I had thought the room was very clean as my bed was - but on my second stay I noticed that there was a lot of black mould growing on the wall behind the bed. This grossed me out a bit and obviously it’s not good to breathe in!

The location of the hotel is within the second ring road. The environment is pretty good. The service is very good and the facilities are very satisfactory. The front desk service is very enthusiastic. Guests will be notified in time when they leave their belongings. They can also store luggage. The room is very clean and has complete facilities. The housekeeper will clean the room every day. There are also free drinks and water. Whatever is needed in the room will be replenished in time. There are many local specialty snacks in Beijing around the hotel, such as Daoxiangcun pastries and Qingfeng Baozi shop. There is also a yogurt shop opposite and a fruit shop. The hotel also has a free laundry room. The light music in the lobby is not bad. There are also fruits, which are delivered by small robots. The meal was very good and highly recommended.

Great hotel in a fantastic location in the Shichahai area, in a Hutong in Beijing. Despite the cool but confusing name (also known as Shichahai Shadow Performance Hotel on Google Maps!), it is a really friendly place. The staff are all really helpful- Seven speaks fluent English and is great at sorting stuff out; Prince, Lily, Joli and Amy speak English using a great translator phone app, which is fine for basic communication. But best of all (and a surprise to me), is that they have a Shadow Puppet show in the evening at 8pm in the small central theatre shaped atrium. It's free for residents. Don't miss this. It's a dying art, and the hotel has local shadow puppe**aster Mr Wang there every day. I'll definitely be going back the next time I'm in Beijing. Loved it!

The Dongsi Hotel (Dongsi Fandian) is located in central Beijing, with walking distance of Wangfujing Shopping Street and Dongsi Station on Metro Line 5. It's also a short distance from the Forbidden City, Tian'anmen Square and Beijing Railway Station.This Beijing hotel offers standard and business rooms with 24-hour hot water, air-conditioning, TVs and free Internet access.Photocopying, tour services and car parking are also available within the hotel.

The location of Park Plaza is excellent, just one minute walk to the nearest subway station (Dengshikou station Exit C). Walking to different attractions such as Forbidden City and Wangfujing shopping areas is also easy. The room is spacious and comfortable. The hotel service is good and the breakfast buffet has sufficient variety with both western and Asian cuisines. Something to note is that we found the room to be rather warm on return from a day out. The air-con was set at 27 degC couldn’t be varied. The outside temperature during our stay was between 5 degC at night and 20 degC in daytime. The hotel management informed us that it was government regulation to save energy. To assist, the management provided us a large room fan. That and opening the side windows helped tremendously to lower the temperature. Overall, we enjoyed our stay in this hotel and highly recommend it.

The location of the hotel is quiet, surrounded by residents of old Beijing, no need to go to Nanluoguxiang. It is a three-minute walk from Wangfujing. It's fine, I like it. There is also a noodle shop opposite which is not expensive. When checking out, I also sent a set of mask disinfectant travel bag. The hotel is very attentive, the boss is also a conscientious boss.

I booked this hotel for my parents to stay in. They were amazed by the quality of the facilities, and the price is really cheap for this kind of hotel. I would definitely recommend this hotel with its unique and interesting architecture and decor, and the location could not be better for touring Beijing. The breakfast was amazing.
