Jade Garden Hotel

The Jade Garden hotel is ideally located for visiting the main sites in central Beijing. The room was well equipped, comfortable and cleaned/refreshed every day. We had a great 5 nights here exploring Beijing

The Jade Garden Hotel is listed as having four stars but should probably be between two and three stars, realistically. The location is great for anyone who wants to be central and close to the Forbidden City, Wangfujing and other sights. Its historic value is interesting as well and I enjoyed the exhibition in the side lobby. My room was okay and the noise reduction by the windows was great - it overlooked a very busy crossing and yet I heard no traffic noise. Bed linen and towels were clean as were the tub and toilet - but the room had a LOT of dust in various places: window sill, electric water kettle, on power outlets and doors…also, the furniture looks VERY used, the bathtub was discolored in places (though clean) and some equipment is sagging; the overall impression was not of a four star hotel room. The breakfast buffet was good but again: the impression is of two - three stars. What is impressive is the speed of reaction to pressing “please make up room” button! Otherwise the staff was polite enough but not outstandingly friendly or enthusiastic. For the location, the price was still acceptable, although the dust did detract from its potential charm.

I would definitely come back here, if I come to Beijing again.
