Hotels near Xicheng, Beijing

"Apart from the great location (literally a stone’s throw away to the nearest subway), what stood out for me was the hotel staff’s impeccable service. We were greeted with a plate of fruits in the hotel room when we arrived which is rare, comparing with other hotels that I have visited. Moreover, I was surprised and thankful that the hotel staff readily accommodated our special request to pack a simple breakfast for us as we had an itinerary which required us to leave early in the morning. The hotel’s concierge also answered all my queries and questions efficiently. The room we booked was a 3 bedder family room and I thought that the room was perfectly big and spacious. The window view was towards the hotel’s internal courtyard space, I was personally fine with this. This hotel is perfect if you wish to shop as it is linked via a skybridge to all the shopping centres in the Xidan shopping district, perfect if you would like to do some late night shopping and conveniently return to your hotel when you are tired. Some additional tips for future travellers, if you are making a Didi booking, select the nearby China Post office as the location as the hotel is not directly accessible by car, there isn’t a drive-through for the hotel. This hotel does accept and receive Taobao parcels on your behalf for those who plan to shop. As for food delivery, this hotel does not have a robot delivery service, I collected my food delivery directly from the driver near the hotel lobby, not sure if the hotel can deliver your food deliveries to your door as I did not check with the hotel. Finally for amenities, there is a self service laundry room on the 10th floor but it is not marked from the outside. It sits along the guest rooms on level 10 and is opposite room 1009(if i remember correctly)and there are only 2 washing machines with no dryers. It closes at certain hours to avoid creating inconvenience to nearby guests so you would have to check with the concierge regarding the operating hours. To use the machine, you would have to scan a QR code on the machine with Alipay or Weixin and there is a minimal fee; less than a dollar. The breakfast buffet on the 8th floor had an acceptable variety and was affordable. For hotel guests the breakfast buffet price was subsidised at 50yuan per person, payable on the spot outside the restaurant, even though on their signboard it states that the price is 98 yuan. I managed to clarify with the concierge that the 98yuan price only applies to non-hotel guests. Overall Xixi Youyi Hotel offers great value for money with perfect service and location. Would highly recommend!"

"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 💜"

"The hotel's service was excellent. The front desk staff were very polite, and the auntie serving breakfast was incredibly warm and proactive. The room was spacious and comfortable. It's conveniently located just a few hundred meters from both Xidan and Lingjing Hutong subway stations. Plus, there's a Ziguan Garden yogurt shop right across from the hotel, which is super convenient for grabbing a snack. Highly recommend!"

"Apart from the renovation which we were told beforehand, the room we had was dark (probably because it was a windowless room), humid, aircon wasn’t strong but they provided a fan. Could smell urine even with the toilet seat covered, toilet door was closed, to a point that i was awaken by the foul smell. Had to spray perfume to have it barely covered. Ventilation was super bad. Cons aside, service was good, fridge in room had free drinks. Would recommend to book a window room if you had to even though friend that stayed in the window room said it was bad too. There’s a mall few minutes walk away which was a plus. Good view on the reception floor too."

"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!"

"The Pan Pacific Beijing's location is absolutely fantastic! It's right in the heart of Xidan, and you can walk to Financial Street, which made my business trip incredibly efficient. I got lucky this time and stayed on a high floor. The floor-to-ceiling windows offered direct views of the Forbidden City and Beihai's White Pagoda. Watching the city skyline at sunset made my business trip feel much less tiring. The hotel's modern and minimalist design is really appealing, and the facilities are well-maintained. To have such an experience in a core area of Beijing, the value for money is exceptional."

"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!"

"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!"

"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!"

"Location: The hotel is conveniently located just 460 meters from Xidan Metro Station Exit B – you can see the building as soon as you step out. The surroundings are excellent. Perhaps because the hotel primarily caters to business travelers, the rooms are exceptionally quiet. It's also incredibly convenient for sightseeing, with Tiananmen Square, the National Museum of China, the Forbidden City, and Wangfujing all just 1-3 stops away on Metro Line 1, with no transfers needed. For night owls, cycling to Tiananmen after midnight is a breeze, as there are shared bike stands everywhere right outside the hotel. The hotel is surrounded by shopping malls like Xidan Mingzhu, Hanguang Department Store, and Joy City. Notably, a branch of Siji Minfu Roast Duck is located in Hanguang Department Store, only about 100 meters from the hotel. Service: I was pleasantly surprised! I booked for three consecutive nights, and the front desk upgraded me directly to a suite. That's a huge bonus to the experience. For families or larger groups, I'd definitely recommend choosing a suite. It comes with two restrooms, and the restroom and shower are separate. Plus, there's a distinct living room and bedroom, making it very comfortable. I'll highly recommend this to all my friends!"
