Construction works behind the hotel Breakfast very expensive and compare with my first stay in this hotel 7~8 years ago ,the price almost 50% increase

Stayed one evening for a very short business trip. The hotel was well located, only a ~7 minute taxi ride from the 798 Art district, ~20 mins from Beijing Capital airport and ~25 mins from the Forbidden City. The hotel was nicely decorated, clean, comfortable and finished to a decent standard, with friendly English-speaking staff. The breakfast was a fair mix of Continental (cheese, cold meats, cereal, breads) and Chinese (congee, noodles, stir-fry) as well as the usual eggs, sausages, fruit etc. The view I had was of the construction site (multi-storey car park? Another building?) but there was no noise disruption. The bed was very comfortable, room size was decent, and all in all satisfied what I needed for a flying visit. Did not use facilities but there was a gym open until 10:30pm for guests. I had also accidentally left behind an item of clothing, and the staff were very efficient in helping to arrange shipping to my next destination (Hong Kong), which was surprisingly very cheap. East Beijing are very foreigner-friendly than many other hotels I have stayed in, and for their level of service, price and location, I would recommend and choose to stay here again.

There is no mini-fridge, kettle or safe. I also had an issue with noise in my room (substantial enough that it disturbed sleep) and called reception around midnight, who spoke English. They very quickly sent a Mandarin-only mechanic to check, and revealed a large circuit board/fuse box in one of the panels in-between the front door and cupboard. He pulled a cable out which stopped the loud buzzing but rendered one of the wall sockets useless as it lost electricity. It solved the issue for the evening but I would have requested a room change if I stayed longer.

The interior design is nice, room is clean and the complimentary organic coffee is good. I’m very satisfied. The Indigo mall is right next to the hotel with lots of restaurants and shops. I will definitely stay here again next time I’m in Beijing.

Nothing.

nice decor, king size bed, big window with nice view, nice breakfast (that comes at a rather pricey extra fee for China though), very helpful staff, comfy shower, very well equipped, gym & pool available, bar inside hotel, close by China National Convention Center (approx. 20-30min) and sports stadiums, very close to Capital airport

Location is next to Indigo, easy access to food and shopping. It's also close to many restaurants and subway.

Sometimes I can smell smoke in the corridor. Some people may be smoking in their rooms.

Nice large bathroom is our favourite, breakfast is also nice.

The desk is a bit small, chair and seating area are a bit uncomfortable, not so cosy, it's a bit like sleeping in the office.

The location is next to the shopping mall, plenty of restaurants nearby.

The view of the construction next to it.

Convenient location connected to the huge mall -- One indigo and train station. Staff were all friendly and polite. Rooms were clean and comfortable. They even gave me a surprise cake for my birthday. Totally unexpected. Thanks!

The door of the hotel of one of the rooms was a little creaky... But not really a big issue. Everything's great otherwise.

The people. Amazing service! I had to weigh my luggage and had 2 odd size luggage. A staff came up to help weigh them and I asked if I could have the odd sized item packed at the airport. He was not sure, but volunteered to help me with it. I was on an urgent work call. He helped me to pack it and quietly left the room. Totally impressed! All the staff at East are warm and friendly. Now definitely my go-to hotel when I am back:)

Nothing

The location is perfect. The hotel is conveniently located next to a shopping mall. Plenty of good restaurants in the mall to choose. Excellent and friendly staff. Room was very spacious especially the shower. Breakfast was good. Great value for a 5 star hotel. Highly recommended.

There are no negatives
