Yiting Zhenshe Hotel (Beijing Qianmen Pedestrian Street)

Lovely hotel and well decorated however I wouldn’t come back because in the room there is no window and the Air-con doesn’t work only the heating. We couldn’t get a good sleep, it would go less than 28 degrees…

Strategic location! You’ll got everything you need in that area!

The room is decent size for the price and it is well distributed. The closet is just a hanger for like 4 or 5 garments so beware. Bathroom unfortunately was a bit smelly. Bed was comfortable. I did not like the included breakfast because it’s actually a bag they leave outside the door every morning with the same menu everyday and did not like all the items. I will try a different hotel in my next visit to Beijing.

Aircon didn't work, have to suffer in a stuffy environment for 3 days. Was told that the aircon system broke down for awhile and they didn't fix it. No daily clean up service provided, items in the room were not changed although cleaning was provided. No solution to the problem was provided by the hotel, had to do everything by yourself. Location was good 3 mins from the subway although entering the street can be troublesome as there is a security counter at the entrance of street and had to use passport to enter.

Amazing location on walking street for our 5 night stay, beautiful hotel and lovely staff, willing to help with information. Would 100% stay here again on our next trip to Beijing!

All people in hotel are so kind with Mexican people, always helping and greatfull. Hotel was simply great near all important tourusm places, pedestrian street was in front. All night you can find anything !!! Congratulations to hotel staff !!!

In short: the room was good, the service was probably the worst I’ve had in my entire life. Would absolutely not recommend if you do not speak Chinese. Where to start. We booked this place for its location and reviews, which were quite okay. When we arrived on our first day the first impression was good. It was hard to find the hotel, as they have 3 locations in Maps (Apple, Maps.me, Google Maps, they all couldn’t tell us where the place really was). As we arrived I think we realized why: the name of the hotel isn’t their real name, seems like it’s a “fake” name or something? On the building they use a very different name. But once we found it, we were pleasantly surprised. Swift checkin, the room was clean, modern and the bed very comfy. But on our first day the struggle started. We soon realized they didn’t actually offer any breakfast (which we were able to book extra at the hotel). When asking about the breakfast, we also realized they literally didn’t speak a single word of English at all. Don’t get me wrong, yes, it’s China, I’ve been to China multiple times, people not speaking English is normal and should be expected. But the staff wasn’t able to inform us about anything. It almost felt as if they just came to Beijing and started working in the hotel, they couldn’t answer any of our questions regarding visiting the great wall, the Tian’anmen square and the Forbidden City. On the street we spoke with some other foreign tourists, they told us we needed reservations for the square and forbidden city. We asked in the hotel, the guy from the night shift booked us a slot for 2 days later for the square. For the great wall, he failed to inform us properly about the bus, about the times, etc. Result: us missing our bus as he gave us wrong times (and we had missed the last one), but as we had the tickets for the great wall already (and paid already) we had to take a taxi as that was literally the only option left. Obviously that was about 10 times the price of the bus. So thanks for that. Important tip for the hotel: make a simple standard guide book / city guide book for your guests with all basic information in it. All people from the hotel (Chinese and foreigners) come here to visit the great wall + Forbidden city, how hard is it to give your guests correct information? Even worse, on the last evening we were going to take a taxi to the airport from the hotel. They told us we cannot hail a taxi on the road and MUST order via an app. We don’t have the apps (can’t register without CN number), so she offered to book one for us. Great, we thought. I gave her the airport, she booked the taxi and we gave her the cash as China is a very cashless country. About 10 mins into our taxi ride my girlfriend realized we’re heading the wrong way. Beijing has 2 big airports, she ordered the taxi to the wrong one, even though I showed her the airport we were going in both English AND CHINESE. Luckily the driver was very friendly and turned around and drove to the other airport, we made it in time still. He didn’t even charge us anything extra, as he felt so sorry for us (being very stressed and very late), but we did leave him a nice tip. At the airport, just out of curiosity we asked him about the price of the ride in the end. Guess what, with a huge detour + long stopping time to discuss, the lady from the hotel STILL made and extra 25% on this ride. Holy… I do not know what the issue was with the people at this hotel, but it truly seemed as if they didn’t WANT to help us, but were literally trying to screw us constantly. Overall this hotel cost us about 50% extra in all the extra costs we had to make to make up for their mistakes. Our verdict? Terrible place.

The room itself is beautiful and clean. The location of the hotel is very safe, it’s close to the metro, nearby many sightseeing sites. The thing is that you can’t control the temperature of the room so it was a bit too cold for my preference when sleeping.

I loved it ,especially the location , I wish they had more amenities though ,I really loved the style it was so asthethic
