2-Star Hotels in Beijing

A Pleasant Stay at a Brand-New Hanting Hotel in Beijing. I recently stayed at this Hanting Hotel in Beijing during a winter trip in December 2025, and it turned out to be a great budget-friendly choice. As a brand-new property (opened right around this time), everything felt fresh and modern, which made the experience stand out compared to older chain hotels. The staff are friendly and pro-active to help considering my limited chinese. I give them 5 out 5 stars because thats is the same service level i get when i am in 5 star hotel. Location: The hotel is conveniently situated just outside a residential complex, literally a one-minute walk to the main street. It’s quiet yet accessible perfect for avoiding the hustle of central Beijing while still being close to amenities, shops, and transport options. No complaints here; it struck a nice balance between peace and convenience. Facilities and Design: The lobby is cozy and appropriately sized—not too grand, but welcoming. What surprised me pleasantly was how large the hotel actually is once you explore it. The overall design theme is warm and relaxing, with soothing tones and modern touches that create a calming atmosphere throughout. Room Experience: For the price point, the room was impressively spacious. It was sparkling clean (as expected from a new hotel), with a large, comfy bed topped with four plush pillow, perfect for a good night’s rest. There’s a big TV, and the bathroom is a decent size with a spacious shower and toilet. Winter in Beijing can be brutal, but the heater worked wonderfully, keeping the room toasty and comfortable. The real highlight was the smart features: voice commands control everything, lights, curtains, TV, and other appliances. It felt futuristic and super convenient! The One Drawback: The only downside I encountered was a lingering smoke smell in the corridor near the elevators on the second night. Apparently, a guest had smoked while walking to his room, and while the staff responded quickly by spraying air freshener, the ventilation system didn’t fully clear it out. I understand that smoking tolerance can be more lenient in some places in China (even in restaurants), but for a brand-new hotel in the capital, I hoped they’d enforce stricter no-smoking policies to set a better standard. It didn’t ruin the stay, but it was noticeable. Final Thoughts Overall, this Hanting Hotel exceeded my expectations for a budget chain, clean, modern, comfortable, and packed with thoughtful features like voice control and solid service from all the staffs. It’s a solid option for travelers wanting value without sacrificing quality. I’d stay again and recommend it, especially if you’re looking for something new and relaxing in Beijing. Just hope they tighten up on the smoking rules moving forward!

We only spent one night in the room, but the experience was good. The room was clean, there were plenty of towels, two pairs of slippers, and plenty of pillows. The bathroom had all the necessary accessories. We liked everything. The room didn't have a window, but we didn't really need one. The air conditioning and huge TV worked great. We were happy with everything.

This hotel offers the best value for money in the area; other hotels nearby cost 400-500 yuan and have smaller rooms. The location is excellent, very close to Dongzhimen and Yonghegong Temple, with plenty of dining options nearby. We arrived at 10 PM and were given complimentary roasted sweet potatoes, and they even upgraded our room! The room was spacious, featuring a massage chair and a bathtub. We are very satisfied!

Haiyou Hotel Beijing Hopson One Jiulongshan Metro Station boasts an excellent location, within walking distance to the subway and Hopson One shopping mall. The room was clean and tidy, the bedding was comfortable, and the front desk service was efficient. Plus, they have a laundry room and a delivery robot. It's great value for money and my top choice for business trips to Guomao!

Five-star review! This is a great experience for a budget hotel. The room was clean and tidy, with all the essential facilities, and the internet connection was smooth. It was quiet at night, so I got a good rest. The staff were friendly, and check-in and check-out were efficient. The location is excellent, with plenty of shops, supermarkets, and restaurants nearby. For this price, it's incredible value for money. I would definitely stay here again when I'm in town.

Jinjiang Inn (Beijing Tian'anmen Square) — Standard Queen Room, 4 nights --- I spent four nights here while doing the classic Beijing sightseeing route, and honestly, the location alone made it worth booking. You're a short walk from Tian'anmen Square, which meant I could head out at sunrise before the crowds arrived — something I'd genuinely recommend to anyone staying in this area. The Forbidden City is easy to reach on foot too, and Qianmen Street and the surrounding hutongs are great for wandering in the evening. The metro is close enough that getting to other parts of the city was never a hassle. The Standard Queen Room was exactly what I needed. Nothing fancy, but well thought out. The bed was comfortable and I slept well every night, which isn't something I can say about every hotel. Soundproofing was better than I expected given how central it is — I never heard street noise. There was a desk I actually used, a big TV, a kettle (essential in China), and bottled water refilled every day. Plenty of outlets near the bed, which mattered since I was charging a phone and camera every night. The AC worked well and stayed quiet, which was a relief in the July heat. Cleanliness was consistently good. Spotless when I arrived and housekeeping kept it that way for the whole stay. The bathroom had strong water pressure and hot water at any hour, including the busy morning window — not always a given. Toiletries were restocked without me needing to ask. The staff were friendly and efficient. Check-in was quick, and while there was a bit of a language barrier at times, they were patient and clearly trying to help. They gave me directions a couple of times and recommended a local spot to eat nearby, and they held my luggage on checkout day without any fuss. Front desk is staffed 24 hours, which was reassuring coming back late. For the price, the value here is hard to beat. This isn't a luxury hotel and doesn't pretend to be — it's a well-run business hotel that gets the basics right. Wi-Fi was stable and fast enough for video calls and uploading photos. The lobby was clean, the elevators quick even at busy times. Everything just worked, which is really all you want when you're out exploring all day. There are lots of small local restaurants and convenience stores within a couple of minutes' walk, so breakfast, snacks, and late-night water were never a problem. I'd stay here again without hesitation. If you're visiting Beijing for the first time and want to be within walking distance of the main sights without paying a premium for it, this is a solid, sensible choice. Clean, comfortable, well-located, and run by people who clearly take their work seriously. Four nights here gave me a great base for the city and I left with a very good impression.

I have been staying in this hotel since I came back a few years ago. It is very humane and upgraded me to a standard room on a high floor for free. I asked for a few more pairs of slippers, and they were given to me the day before yesterday. The price-performance ratio is very high. I will stay here again next time.

I had a decent stay but I experienced two major problems with this hotel. The first was right at the start after I arrived at 4.30pm (checkin is from 2pm) and was told the only available room had a plumbing issue and was asked if I wanted to leave my stuff and come back. Obviously after just having arrived in Beijing after a long train ride from another city and a long subway ride, I wanted to check into a room and change first, so I said I could wait until the room was ready. The floor was wet due to a leaking bathroom faucet and afterwards a repairman came to fix it. The second issue was noisy staff who were loud in the mornings and evenings, which impacted me as my room was on the ground floor. This is despite the hotel being small and not particularly busy. On my final morning (I stayed there 4 nights), the staff were really noisy from 7.30am and remained so for at least half an hour. It didn't even sound like there was any problem or argument, they were just being loud and disruptive, which is unprofessional. There's also a minor issue in which the hotel address number on Trip.com and the number on the front door do not match up. I had an issue finding this hotel though I accidentally found it when I walked into it and asked a staff about my hotel address (she looked at it and said ”this is it!”). My room, after the faucet issue was fixed, was decent and comfortable. The location is good, being a few minutes away from Dongsi station and a large Wu-mart supermarket and Longfu Temple mall.

We stayed at this hotel as a group and had a great experience. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and well-maintained. The staff were friendly and helpful throughout our stay. Overall, it was a pleasant stay, and we would happily recommend this hotel to other group travelers.

This hotel is located strategically between ShiChaHai and Nanluoguxiang. It is within walking distance to Shichahai Metro Station Exit A1 and A2 which both exit without escalator or lift. Upon check-in we entered our room and a very stinky smell inside the room just made us felt very uncomfortable. When we checked the bathroom the stinky smell even worst. We then asked the housekeeper to spray air fresherner in our room and bathroom. Then we left our room and went out for sightseeing. However, after we came back from sightseeing then we entered our room the same stinky smell appeared. We then complained at the front desk and was told there was no same room type available unless we pay extra to upgrade our room to different type. We were told all hotel in Beijing near the alley was considered old and having stinky smell was a norm. The room was extremely small and no space to put 2 big luggages. We have to find ways to use 1 side bed table to put one of our luggage and to get our clothing and toileterries out. The bathroom was stinky before and after we took shower. We have to ensure the glass door was closed all the time as the air ventilator inside the bathroom not really functioning. The wall of the bathroom was slimy and the one of the 2 plastic slippers was slimy too. We found mould around the corners of the bathroom and outside the bathroom that appeared at the surface of the bedroom wall. The centralised air conditioner was being controlled and only hot air came out everytime we turn on the air conditioner. Hence, the whole room was hot and humid. We have to open the window and worst still there were locals smoking outside of our hotel room window. There were also noises outside the window where we can hear the conversation of the locals who stood outside of our hotel room window. The bed mattress was very hard as if we were sleeping on the wooden bed. In the end, we couldn't sleep well the whole night. We have to put our winter clothing, the towels and the blanket at our back just to make the bed more softer for our back. After the first night, we requested to change room due to stinky smell but failed. The housekeeper proposed to help us to sanitize the bathroom with strong smell liquid chlorine when we went out for sightseeing. Upon returning back to our room, we can smell the smell of liquid chlorine but the stinky smell had reduced. There were limited space to hang clothing especially during winter, so we have to find places whee we can hang our light clothing like t-shirt. Then we saw the air-cond vent was very dusty same goes to the hanging light bulb was full of dust. The side table underneath the TV was dusty too. We have to use alcohol sanitizer to sanitize the table and side table. Overall, the hotel is located within the tourist spot but there were few staircases at the hotel entrance and 2 small staircases along the corridors lead to our hotel room which made it a bit inconvenience when you carried heavy luggages.
