Hotels near Forbidden City, Beijing

"We had a great stay at this hotel. Very close to lots of attractions, which is super convenient but also super busy. The hotel itself was clean and spacious. The staff did a great job making sure we were comfortable. Candice in particular was super communicative and accommodating, especially since we don’t speak Chinese. Our room was quite warm so she checked in with us daily to make sure we were comfortable. Breakfast was fantastic and included many different options. We took advantage of the amenities including the gym which we really enjoyed. The self service laundry was also super nice amenity. All the staff were kind and helpful. Would recommend."

"Hotel staff are polite and sincere, making you feel pleasant with their service. Our room for three people, though not very spacious, was clean and tidy. The beds were comfortable, and my parents slept well during our three-night stay. The air conditioning was set just right and felt comfortable. Their responses to our requests, such as bottled water or housekeeping, were prompt and attentive."

"Hello! It was a wonderful trip to Beijing! A huge thank you to everyone who helped us, especially dear Stella! Everything was wonderful, the location was perfect, and all the sights were close to our hotel."

"Good hotel, located close to the touristic spots by car. Good choice"

"We really enjoyed our stay at this pretty hotel. The location is perfect. The room is spacious and they even offer a free calligraphy experience to hotel guests. The Manager speaks english which is great and he is really helpful. It is also conveniently located near Zhushikou station which happened to be the pickup location for our great wall tour. Highly recommended! 💯💯"

"Our stay in Beijing was truly a 5-star experience for the three of us, even with a language barrier. From check-in onward, the staff went out of their way to help—using translation apps, hand gestures, and constant warm smiles. Communication was never an issue because the hospitality felt sincere and thoughtful. One highlight we all loved was the free laundry service. After long days of walking and sightseeing, having clean clothes without extra cost felt like a real luxury and made our trip so much easier. We were also pleasantly surprised by the free snacks, always available and perfect for late nights or quick bites before heading out. Our room was clean, comfortable, and well maintained—ideal for resting after busy days exploring Beijing. Overall, it was a generous, caring stay that exceeded expectations. We may not have spoken the same language, but the service spoke volumes. Highly recommended."

"The hotel is close to Beijingxie. Most of the staff is very helpful and pleasant. They offer free luggage storage for its guests. The restaurant on the 3rd floor is reasonably priced and quite tasty. The Lobby is beautiful and offers hot tea throughout the day. The room was perfect for me. It was extremely clean. They provide 2 bottles of water each day. It is starting to get cold at night in Beijing so the room was very warm."

"I had a very pleasant stay at this hotel. The room was clean and comfortable, and the staff were friendly and helpful throughout my stay. The location is convenient and makes it easy to get around. I would definitely recommend this hotel and would stay here again. Mr. Bao An is so friendly & even help me do the taobao return packing."

"Lovely hotel: - Rooms are beautifully furnished and look really pretty. - Staff is polite and, despite not speaking English, they’re well-prepared with translation apps. - Very comfortable bed. - Spotlessly clean. - Lots of food options nearby. - Conveniently located — just 2 minutes from Dongsi station. - I had requested a specific room configuration, and they kindly accommodated it. - They gave us a lovely Beijing magnet as a parting gift. A few minor downsides (but still a 5/5): - Not a lot of storage space if you’re staying for several days. - The bathroom door doesn’t fully close (it's a glass door and can't be locked) — probably a design choice, but not my favorite. - They offered complimentary breakfast to my friend who stayed at the same hotel (after I recommended it!), but not to us, even if we stayed longer and had booked a better room type. Not a real complaint — gifts are by nature selective — but I can’t deny it made me a bit jealous. 😅 I'll definitely book again when I go back to Beijing (which is an amazing city btw!)"

"I enjoyed my stay in Dongsi Hotel. The room is not sparkling clean, but okay for a shorter stay. However, the service is really good and the staff is very friendly and helpful."
