1) Facilities & equipment worn down after 16 years of use & improvements can be made: drainage issues with the sink & shower place (did not drain well) & floor (water coming out floor drainage). 2) The room deco looks glamorous (or glitzy to some) but some hidden craftsmanship details are poor, such as bathroom cabinet doors (paint peeled off, doors did not close properly), sink ‘marble’ chipped. 3) Phones did not work (no dialing tone but can receive internal phone calls). 4) Power station on the desk worn out 5) A TV use instruction would be very helpful [currently only a list of channels provided]

Location and Service. Dear Hotel Manager, I am writing to express my sincere gratitude and commend the exceptional service provided by your concierge 张陈 , during my recent stay at Legendale Hotel from April 7-12. From the moment I arrived, your concierge went above and beyond to ensure my stay in Beijing was both seamless and memorable. He consistently demonstrated a willingness to "go the extra mile" in assisting with all my requests, no matter how big or small. I was particularly impressed by his arrangements to multiple request such Great Wall, landmark information, transportation, Opera and restaurant reservations. He always provided clear and helpful information, and his recommendations were spot on. Furthermore, his punctuality with arrangements was truly remarkable. Whether it was securing tickets, booking taxis, or confirming reservations, everything was always handled with precision and efficiency. This level of reliability significantly contributed to enjoyable experience in a bustling city like Beijing. Beyond his efficiency and knowledge, his demeanor was always professional, courteous, and genuinely helpful. He consistently greeted me and my family with a warm smile and a proactive attitude, making me feel truly valued as a guest. It is clear that this concierge is a dedicated and valuable asset to Legendale hotel. His commitment to providing outstanding service significantly enhanced my stay in Beijing, and I will certainly remember his exceptional assistance when recommending your hotel to others. Please extend my deepest appreciation to him personally. I hope his dedication is recognized and rewarded. Thank you for having such a wonderful team member. Sincerely, EC

I like the grandeur and the extravagance of the hotel. It smelled good and was dustfree. Everything a guest would need was made readily available. There were English speaking Russian ladies to address the non Chinese guests. They were really very friendly and went the extra mile to address the issue we had with Alipay. It was resolved on the same day. There was hassle free communication. The housekeeping team did a great job in keeping the room pristinely clean. They replenished our amenities timely and generously. The location was awesome, too, as we had no issue reaching all the attractions. The 2 Russian staff were very helpful in attending to our alipay issue we had. Both my wife and I had our alipay accounts linked to 1 travel card. Due to this, they were some hiccups, and we were not able to use the accounts. Both the ladies did their part in getting things rectified ASAP for us so that we were able to use our accounts and go about enjoying our trip. They kept checking with us on the follow ups from alipay too. Kudos to these 2 ladies.

HOTEL: Huge luxury hotel located in the center. Walking distance to the Wangfujing Street 2 starbucks and lots of shops , restaurants around. 2-3min walk from the metro. ROOM : Spacious room with all the required amenities. Bottle of water, tea , coffee, iron facilities, slippers, toothbrush, toothpaste, body lotion, shower gel, shampoo, hair conditionner, nice city view, TV. The lighting could have been better but that did not affect our stay. BED AND PILLOW : Bed and pillow were okay. BREAKFAST : Variety of Chinese and European style breakfast.Yummy food. They even had a small section for Halal food. JACCUZI : Relaxing and heated Jaccuzi.

STAFF : We were so excited for our stay since weeks however once we arrived at the hotel, we were disappointed at the reception. Not sure if she was the supervisor but she had black uniform, chinese, short hair and If we are not wrong , her name was Tina or something starting "TIN". Unfriendly, unapprocable, no customer service. If you work in a luxury 5* hotel, the least is to have a smile on your face. Luckily, there were Mr Andy and a beautiful Russian lady with blue uniform, short hair we guessed " Ms Rustova ". Both were helpful , friendly and tried to assist. THANK YOU ✨️ SWIMMING POOL : Large heated swimming pool which was very tempting however there were Chinese people in the pool who were spitting several time in the water which left us disgusted.

Location is close to walk around the city and metro; nice facilities as swimming pool and saunas.

Even though we booked a room for two adults and one kid (7 years old) there was no sofa or separate place to sleep for her. The reason from hotel was as I book king-size bed.

AS YOU DRIVE DOWN THE STREET TO THE HOTEL YOU ARE CONFRONTED WITH A MAGNIFICENT BUILDING WHICH STANDS OUT FROM ALL THE OTHER BUILDINGS. AS YOU WALK THROUGH THE FRONT DOOR YOU SEE BEAUTIFUL FURNITURE AND ANTIQUES TWO SWEEPING STAIRCASES UP TO THE FIRST FLOOR AND THE WHOLE BUILDING IS OPEN UP TO THE SKYLIGHT 17 FLOORS ABOVE. ALL THE STAFF WERE VERY FRIENDLY AND HELPFUL ESPECIALLY THE ITALIAN AMBASSADOR. OUR ROOM WAS BEAUTIFUL VERY NICE FURNITURE THE BED WAS VERY COMFORTABLE AND THE ROOM WAS QUIET.THE ONLY COMPLAINT WAS THE TOILET DOES NOT HAVE A SOFT CLOSE SEAT AND THE WARDROBE IS A LITTLE SMALL. WE STAYED 7 NIGHTS AND WERE VERY BUSY EVERY DAY , DID NOT HAVE TIME TO FULLY EXPLORE THE BUILDING UNTIL THE LAST DAY WHEN WE FOUND THE SWIMMING POOL WHICH IS THE BEST WE HAVE EVER SEEN, WILL DEFINITELY USE ON OUR NEXT STAY. VERY HARD TO FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THIS HOTEL. LOCATION IS PERFECT FOR WONG FU JING AND ONLY A SHORT WALK TO THE METRO LINE WHICH WILL TAKE YOU TO ANYWHERE IN BEIJING IN UNDER AN HOUR. THE BEST HOTEL WE HAVE EVER STAYED IN ANYWHERE.

WHAT WE DID NOT LIKE WAS HAVING TO LEAVE.

The hotel is close to many attractions, the lobby was great. What I liked the most is that they started serving halal food in all their restaurants which made our stay

Our stay at the Legendale Hotel Beijing was nothing short of exceptional. The suite exceeded all expectations, offering a perfect blend of luxury, comfort, and convenience. The spacious suite was a true home away from home. The hotel's amenities were top-notch. The daily housekeeping service ensured our Suite remained immaculate throughout our stay. With three on-site restaurants, including L Cafe, Le Petrus, and Macau Chinese Restaurant, we were spoiled for choice when it came to dining options. The breakfast buffet was a highlight, offering a wide variety of delicious options to start our day. The hotel's location is unbeatable. Situated just 0.36km from Dengshikou metro station, it provided easy access to Beijing's major attractions. The proximity to shopping streets and key sights made exploring the city a breeze. The staff at Legendale Hotel Beijing truly elevated our experience. Available 24/7, the front desk team was always ready to assist with any requests or inquiries. Their attentiveness and friendliness made us feel genuinely welcomed throughout our stay.

We were charmed by its classy rooms which reminded us of other times and we didn't expect to find them in Beijing, but simultaneously fully equipped with everything you need in modern times. The stunning decor of the hotel as well as the comfortable spaces wherever you were. The hotel's "Cafe Restaurant" had a buffet every night, with Western cuisine for those who are not familiar with Chinese food, like us, but also Chinese cuisine for those who prefer it. The location was very convenient with 2 subway stations within 500 meters and a pedestrian street with the major shopping malls of Beijing at a similar distance. And finally 2 amazing young ladies, Anna & Vlada, in the role of service ambassadors, who helped us throughout our stay, giving us useful information and solving all our questions. Thank you very much ladies.

Some parts of the hotel or the rooms, looked a little bit dated, which however didn’t negatively affect our stay.

Excellent location and impressive architecture. I enjoyed the size of the room and the lobby/waiting are was very comfortable. Easy to pick up /drop off for Didi and restaurants in walking distance. I liked the fact the room had plenty of usb charger ports and international plug converters so was easy to recharge my devices, a nice touch.

Our room slept 4 but we were only provided pillows and towels for 2. Had difficulty communicating with reception over the phone and had to go to reception in person to request additional towels/pillows. In fact communication in English with front desk was an issue for our stay. Breakfast was not included in the rate and was 150 RMB per person per day which was not great value
