Hotels in Xidan and Financial Street Area, Beijing

Overall, I had a pleasant stay at this hotel. The hotel is new, very clean, and in an excellent location. The laundry service was outstanding, and the staff were friendly, professional, and always willing to help. However, I had one very disappointing experience. During my stay, the police visited the hotel and asked about the purpose of our visit, and we fully cooperated. Later that night, around 11:00 PM, they came back again while my children were asleep, only to ask for my phone number. This frightened my children and caused unnecessary stress. I have traveled extensively in China and had already spent several weeks in Beijing and Shanghai without experiencing anything like this, so this was very surprising and upsetting. To be fair, the hotel staff sincerely apologized and explained that this situation was beyond their control and related to the local authorities. As a thoughtful gesture, they also offered us a gift and a complimentary late check-out, which we really appreciated. Despite this unfortunate incident, the hotel itself is excellent—clean, modern, comfortable, and well-maintained. I would still recommend staying here. Thank you 💜

My overall experience at this hotel exceeded my expectations. The location is excellent, making it incredibly convenient for getting around. The lobby is clean and elegant, and the room hygiene was top-notch. The room itself was spacious and bright, the bedding was comfortable, and the soundproofing was very good. It offered great rest and excellent value for money.

The room layout is well-designed and cozy, and the staff are incredibly nice. The hotel is super convenient for getting to Tiananmen Square, the Forbidden City, and the National Museum by subway; it's only about a three-minute walk to the nearest station. This is my third time in Beijing, and I just realized that the subway is by far the easiest way to reach Tiananmen Square and the National Museum. Don't be fooled into thinking Didi (ride-hailing) is convenient for these spots! Taking a Didi to the National Museum or Tiananmen Square is a terrible idea. Drivers can't drop you off directly at these attractions and will leave you a mile or two away. I ended up walking with my kid for 20 minutes in the scorching heat, sweating buckets, just trying to navigate there. Meanwhile, there's a subway station right next to the National Museum... it's incredibly convenient!

It was my dad's birthday during our stay, and the staff thoughtfully prepared a cake for him, which alone earns them a big thumbs up! 🥰👍 The hotel's dry cleaning service was also excellent and reasonably priced. The breakfast buffet offered a wide variety of options. The location is superb, within walking distance to Xidan (Hanguang Department Store and Freshippo) and Xuanwumen Station. There was a minor incident on the first morning: I saw a creamy scrambled egg at the omelet station (pictured) and asked the staff there to make it for me, but she replied, ”What creamy scrambled egg? I only have regular scrambled eggs.” 😅 Also, I'm not sure why there were so many cabinets in the room that we didn't use at all; it felt like a lot of wasted space. It would be better if they could streamline that. I would definitely consider staying here again on my next visit to Beijing!

I took my elderly parents to Beijing and we chose the Jingtie Grand Hotel. It's a really good hotel; the environment, cleanliness, and service all made us feel very comfortable and welcome. The experience was excellent. Since we visited during Chinese New Year, the hotel even provided complimentary breakfast, which was a lovely touch.

The room isn't very big, and water leaks from under the partition between the shower and the toilet, so after showering, the water flows all over the toilet area, making it impossible to use the toilet. Be careful when entering the lobby at night; if the doors are closed, push them slowly. There are no signs on the doors to indicate which ones are closed or open. There's a lack of 'push' or 'pull' signs, and I ended up bumping my head on a door when I came back that night.

1) The location is great if you’re looking for a real “Beijing experience” as it’s a boutique hotel in the Hutongs. We wandered around the Xicheng neighbourhood which we would never have done otherwise. 2) easy access via taxi and metro 3) plenty of shops and restaurants around but it’s very quiet at night 4) the staff speaks very little English but they are super nice and helpful. We communicated through translating apps and had no issues (they even helped us to book tickets) 4) Because it’s a small boutique hotel, the breakfast options are limited (especially if like us you don’t eat pork), but you always had eggs and a few sweet things so no issue but something to be aware of Overall had a great stay!

I wanted to experience a *hutong* (traditional alleyway) and chose this place based on its 5-star reviews. The location is incredibly convenient, offering a quiet escape in a bustling, prime area. The decor is unique, and they've managed to create a charming, deep courtyard within a small space – truly thoughtful design that deserves praise. Part of the hotel was still under renovation. I saw photos of a rooftop terrace in other reviews, but when I went up, there was nothing there yet. The internet surprisingly went out until late at night on the day we checked in. The reason given was ”a problem with the main line in the hutong,” which I assume was an isolated incident – perhaps just part of our hutong experience. They provide six bottles of water and two soft drinks for free in the room, and the Arctic Ocean soda was delicious, so kudos for that! However, there were no tea bags or coffee sachets. The tea was loose-leaf in a small, pretty jar, but for something you consume, I did wonder about the hygiene. Here are some suggestions: 1. Indicate which rooms have softer mattresses and which have firmer ones, offering guests a choice. Not everyone likes a soft bed, and comfort in sleep is more important than a unique or beautiful room design. 2. Since all the power outlets are flat-pin (two-prong) only, I recommend providing adapters or power strips with round-pin (two-pin) sockets. It's really inconvenient otherwise. Coming back at night and realizing you can't charge your devices – do you really expect guests to order their own adapters or power strips for same-day delivery? Beijing is an international metropolis, and people come from all over the world, so providing a few would be much more convenient.

Review from a non-chinese tourist. Pros: location, low to almost none level of noise, cleanliness. Cons: no one can assist you in english, breakfast (if you’re not chinese or adapted to local food). It’s right next to Beijing West Railway station, so multiple malls, shops, cafes etc available. When I was checking in I was given key to a wrong room - someone else was already staying there. I understand mistakes happen but after 20 hrs of travel it’s hard. The biggest dissapointment was the breakfast: it said that it’s buffet with chinese and western food. In reality almost no food that you would normally eat for breakfast, lots of chinese food (I wouldn’t have problem with it if it wasn’t so greasy - it’s just not the best for starting your day). Overall - good for the price and location.

The hotel was clean and comfortable, and the breakfast offered a great variety. The staff were all very warm, thoughtful, and attentive. I accidentally left some clothes in my room, and when I called the hotel, the front desk attendant proactively helped me arrange a courier service. I'm very grateful for their assistance!
