Hotels Near Ancient Observatory (Guguanxiangtai) in Beijing

The room 1545 was dated design. It was oak wood cabinets, and did not seem like a 5 star designed hotel. It was very clean, and had a 2 bedroom with washer/dryer in the kitchen area which was convenient. We arrived late and the front desk staff did not really help us at all. They did not welcome us, and just did the check-in transaction pretty impersonal. Later during the day the staff was much better. The location is the best in Beijing, close to Forbidden city, and tons of places to eat. Some of the best restaurants in the world are near by. The breakfast buffet could be larger and have more offerings - but even though sparse the food was good and the service was excellent. Literally no coffee machine in the room, just a tea pot for boiling water and some instant coffee! This was a huge disappointment. Also, we called Telephone 0 for front-desk and had to do it literally 15 times to get a hotel clerk. And also the clerk did not understand English but still answered the phone as ”Hello”. They should never say English words if they don't speak English. It makes it very frustrating. No ATM on site, but about 400m down the street at Bank of China. The taxi stand is down the hill but convenient, but don't use Hotel porter since they just call Didi for you. Could be better, needs to modernize - but fantastic location. Oh, the Patisserie / Coffee shop on Level 1 is excellent but not open until 10am. No idea why! The indoor pool is great - but you need to get a head cap for 30 RMB.

Super appreciative this hotel let me check in early after a long overnight flight. Staff are very nice and accommodating, and the room is perfect for a solo traveller. Amenities delivered by robot is particularly cute. Location is extremely convenient, less than 10 mins walk from stations on two metro lines, as well as the lively Wangfujing shopping area. Only improvement is that sound insulation could be better, and at times I could smell cigarette smoke despite the hotel’s policy of no smoking in rooms. But in general I had a pleasant stay and slept well.

We booked the UrCove by HYATT Beijing Forbidden City through Trip.com. We were pleased with the cleanliness of the hotel room. Upon arrival, we were welcomed by the hotel guest who were genuinely keen to ensure our stay at the hotel met our expectations. The location of this hotel was just right for us and very convenient. It was within walking distance to major shopping district and subway station. Taking a taxi from the hotel is equally easy. Security of the hotel is good. Breakfast serving was good too. Overall experience was great.

I really love this hotel! It’s the best value with clean rooms, a great view, and nice weather. The staff may not be very good at communicating in English, but everyone tries their best to help me, and they’re all so lovely. The surrounding area is fantastic—it's super convenient because it’s right next to the subway, a LAWSON convenience store, a main road, and shopping areas, as well as an important landmark in China (I’m not sure what it’s called because I didn’t have enough time to visit). Another amazing thing is the cleaning robot that rode the elevator with us; we even took him to the third floor! It was so funny. I’m really sad that I only stayed for one night. I will definitely come back again!

This was my second stay in a month at Baifuyi. The first time was two weeks ago, I took a domestic flight from this hotel to Daxing airport. This time I returned to Beijing from Daxing airport and took an international flight at the capital airport. In short, it is close to both airports in Beijing. It's also close to the city center. I got off the plane just over 2pm and took the subway to the hotel just over 4pm. In the evening, when the traffic is busiest, take a ride to Houhai to have dinner and a night out. The taxi fare is only over 30 yuan a trip, indicating that the road is not far. Back to the hotel at night is by subway. 🚇 On the way we went to the Ginza Mall to buy some fruit 🍎 and drink. it was less than ten o'clock we were back to the hotel. It's as if in this hotel, after getting off the plane, you can enjoy the beauty of Beijing immediately. And this time because we have one more person, five of us. We got an apartment suite. The two-bedroom, three-bathroom suite is newly renovated, well equipped and very clean. There is a large two-door fridge, a fully automatic washing machine, and a microwave and gas oven. There is more than 100 square meters of space for five of us, more than enough. It was originally planned for five people to book two hotel rooms. Now it is more affordable and convenient to book a suite. 👍 The rooms all have balconies and large glass flooring, so you don't have to go outside and see the beautiful scenery of Beijing. The excellence of the customer service was also one of the reasons we chose to come back. Jack Fan at the front desk, very aware of the fatigue of the travelers, he quickly completed the check in, so that we can easily get on board. Whether I'm in China or abroad, I prefer to book a hotel rather than a bed and breakfast when I travel. Although the hotel is more expensive, there are strict government regulations on fire prevention, burglary and hygiene. Stay at peace of mind in a hotel. I don't think B & B will tell you about the floor plans and escape routes. But it is a must for all star-rated hotels. The advantages of a bed and breakfast are spacious and convenient. At Baifuyi in Beijing, we enjoyed the delicate luxury of the star-rated hotels and the spacious and relaxing nature of the B & B.

I was very pleased with the hotel. The first thing that stands out is how friendly the staff is. I’ve stayed in various hotels, but here, the staff was the nicest I’ve encountered. They are always happy to answer questions and ready to help. I also have no complaints about the room. Everything was clean and worked perfectly. There were no unpleasant odors or anything like that. Fresh towels, bath mats, drinks, and snacks were provided daily. Additionally, there’s a buffet with Chinese dishes every day and fresh fruit available 24/7. Next to the hotel, there is a restaurant and many shops. Across the street, there’s a shopping mall where you can eat and shop. Other shopping malls are also nearby. Overall, the hotel is fantastic. I was very satisfied and would highly recommend it.

Our hotel stay was fantastic. Located next to a mall with plenty of food eateries. Hotel is about 600m walking distance to the nearest train station. We had booked the family room that came with 2 double beds. Room was big and clean. Hotel staffs were friendly and helpful, and always willing to lend a hand whenever we needed help with finding locations, recommending places to visit or making reservations. Kudos to hotel manager 谢永旺 and room maintenance staffs 史沁棉 and 胡文霞.

Pros - convenient location right beside metro station and shopping mall. Line 10 goes to many tourist sites either direct or with just 1 change. Strong WiFi (but blocked by company security app for those using Ms outlook). Strong hot shower pressure. Clean room with no smoking stench. Cons - in Oct room air con can only be set at 25 degrees lowest level so room feels a bit warm at times. Toilet seat no bidet (common in Shanghai). Personally don't like bed pushed against the window. Windows is very near to opposite block so have to remained closed at all times else or no privacy.

Great Stay with Excellent Service I recently stayed at the Voyage Hotel and had a wonderful experience. The hotel is well-located, making it easy to access nearby attractions and public transportation. The rooms were spacious, clean, and comfortable, offering a nice view of the surrounding area. The staff were exceptionally friendly and went out of their way to ensure that my stay was enjoyable. From the moment I arrived, I was welcomed warmly, and every request was met with a smile and prompt service. The housekeeping staff kept the room spotless, and the front desk team was always ready to assist with recommendations or directions. The hotel offers a good variety of amenities, including a well-equipped gym and a cozy dining area. Breakfast was fresh, with a decent range of options to cater to different tastes. I also appreciated the free Wi-Fi, which was fast and reliable throughout my stay. Overall, Voyage Hotel exceeded my expectations. It’s a great option for both business and leisure travelers who are looking for comfort, convenience, and excellent service. I highly recommend it and would certainly stay here again.

I was positively surprised by the quality of the hotel. Everything worked as expected, the rooms were clean and very beautiful. Staff is nice and there's a free shuttle bus every 30mins. I can also recommend to book a breakfast at the hotel. Not to mention the helpful personnel of the hotel (huge thanks to Michael and Rebecca at the reception :)). When I come back to Beijing I will definitely choose this hotel again.
