Pinggu Wenfeng Tower

Staying at this hotel was a really pleasant experience. Rooms are very clean. Hotel staff were very helpful. English was good with some but not all staff so make sure you have a translator app and you'll have no problem. Also, be careful to look for their red sign on a fence as the hotel is down an alley, not on the main street. Be sure to take exit E3 from Wangfujing Station and you'll be a 3 minute walk away.

The hotel is located directly behind the Dengshikou subway station exit, very convenience.  We took a local tour and it happened that the morning meeting point was exactly at that particular exit, so it's just a 1-min walk from the hotel, no stress! There is also a 24-hour convenience store across the hotel to buy water & snacks. Huge bonus, especially if you're visiting during hot summer, the hotel comes with a self-service laundry facility and they even include the detergent! Being able to easily wash all those sweaty clothes was a lfiesaver, especially in our case that we still had 8 more days in other cities after Beijing. Breakfast was pretty decent with a lot of variety. AC in the room can be better though. Room is spacious, but pillows can be slightly thicker. One of our rooms was definitely warmer than the other despite turning on the AC continuously for many hours but the hotel staff didn't seem to believe us. It's still an amazing experience overall, would love to stay there again.

The hotel staff were all very lovely and helpful. The first room we were given had an awful smell and it did not appear to be very clean. The staff moved us to a different room right away. I think the hotel - once upon a time was very grand, but the rooms are a bit tired looking. Location wise, it’s not too far of a walk to some of the main attractions like Tiananmen Square and some of malls.
