Find hotels in Hall of Prayer for Good Harvest

As the first stop on our month-long trip in China, we chose this comfortable hotel, a little higher in the luxury scale that we usually go for. We needed to acclimatize ourselves. It's not very near the tourist sights: about a half-hour walk from the wonderful Temple of Heaven. But it was only a ten-minute walk to the subway, past some nice little restaurants, and taxis are readily available. The breakfast buffet in the hotel was the best we had in the whole month. And the staff was friendly and professional.

So my relatively untraveled husband arrived here a day ahead of me and when the driver stopped at the entrance to a dark alley and started rolling his bag down it so that he had to follow...my husband was definitely wondering if he was at the right place. He finally saw the hotel sign but then he started to question my booking. Once he got inside the hotel and into the room all was well. Then he only had to walk down the alley a bit to eat a tasty cheap meal of kung pao chicken. We ended up eating dumplings and potstickers at that place every day for breakfast, feeding the four of us for $9. By day, he realized that the scary alley was fine. The scary alley actually links up with a lively shopping area and a high-class pedestrian street with Zara, Starbucks and ATM's just south of Tianmen Square. Plenty of places to eat within walking distance. We were here in a particularly cold snap for five nights. The room's heaters did fine in keeping up with the cold. Flatscreen TV's with CNN in English. Beds typical Asian hard but clean bedding. They could probably replace sections of wallpaper but the rooms were a bargain for the location and the quality and cleanliness were fine by me. Front desk spoke English and were helpful, especially Wei. You could get an American breakfast at the lobby breakfast downstairs if you got tired of cheap dumplings down the street.

The hotel is new (3 years old) and the rooms are spacious and thoughtfully designed. The location is fantastic given that it is within walking distance to major sites. The subway station is also close by for those who prefer to try out the public transportation system. I love the gym and swimming pool too and I think they are one of the best in Beijing. I was booked in at the club residence level during my stay and I strongly recommend spending the extra money for it. The evening cocktails included in this package were fantastic and the service was excellent. I particularly have to commend Sally and Steven who took such good care of me when I was there at the residence club room! Overall, book yourself a stay at New World Hotel and you won't regret it.

For the price, the quality of the stay you get is simply the best or next to it. I have been staying at various hotels around Beijing ranging from 3 to 4 star hotels on business trips. This stay at Qianmen Courtyard Hotel is personal and it is absolutely value for money. Fantastic location, good service, cleanliness is alright unless you are a princess. For single traveler, look no further. I will go to this hotel again on my next personal trip.

We arrived almost at midnight, we checked into the room in less an 5 minutes. The staff was very friendly and even if they couldn't speak much english, they tried their best to help us. The bed was hard (I think all hotels in China are like this), the bathroom partition was a glass panel (you got to get used to that), there was good WiFi in the room. We only used the hotel to sleep during the day we are always out so this place was just right for us. It's about 15 minutes walk from the hotel to the subway, 10 minutes from the hotel to HongJiao Market. Nearby, you can get local food as well as brands like Starbucks, Yoshinoya, KFC & McDonalds. About 3 minutes from the hotel (towards the main road) there is a Muslim restaurant that serves delicious grilled meat. I think its like mongolian or something. We booked a taxi for a day tour, we didn't have a contact number so we gave the hotel number and room number. As the room didn't have phones the receptionist took a message and even helped us talk to the driver when he called to arrange the price and time. In short, this place is good if you want a cheap place located near the subway with good local food and options for international chain food brands as well.

Best value for money hotel!! The place was clean, staff is helpful and CAN speak english. Loved that there was regular house-cleaning schedule everyday. The facilities are nice and properly working. There’s a daily refill of bath necessities. The hotel is near the convenience stores (right next to it) and has a restaurant on the first floor. Only con I guess is that it’s not that near the subway. We had to walk for about 1km to reach Zhusikou, the nearest subway. However, it’s near the bus station. We just didn’t consider this option ‘cause it’s really hard ‘cause nobody speaks English :( nevertheless, I HIGHLY recommend this hotel! Looking forward to booking in here again! :) Satisfied customer right here!

The rooms were updated and super clean. The staff was helpful and kind. Breakfast was good with a great view and comfortable seating accommodations. The laundry room was AWESOME with detergent available and 30RMB/5USD for washing and drying. The location was just right for the price and with the Didi (Chinese taxi APP)or regular taxi readily available, it was only 13RMB/2USD away from the metro which got you all over the city. Or you can opt out to taking the bus which is right in front of the hotel. I will be going back in June 2019 and plan on staying at this same hotel with my family when they visit.

We were pleasantly surprised by the comfort and cleanliness of this hotel. We had no issues with anything during our entire stay. There was a definite language barrier, as the staff (including front desk) did not speak English, but this was to be expected per other reviews and our entire experience in Beijing. It didn’t prove to be an issue, as we expected it and found we had to use a translator app nearly everywhere if we had questions that couldn’t be solved by pointing or gesturing :) The hotel was very clean, and our room was cleaned daily. The air conditioning worked well, the bed was the best we have slept on in Asia and was super comfy, and we appreciated the amenities left daily (slippers, toothbrushes, clean towels). Great location as the metro was only a few minutes walk and could take us anywhere in the city. Highly recommend!

First I like to thank to miss. Summer, our check it process are very fast and Summer speak very well English, she is very informative, and very friendly. All front desk staff are very professional, no conscience available. We must carry our luggage to the room, but they provide the trolley. Fair enough. The room is very nice, huge king size bed and very clean and comfortable. There are a long cushion for 3rd person. WiFi works very well. One thing I am not happy with the lights in bed room, too dark, I hardly can see clearly, the bath room is perfect, lightening, shower and amenities all super. Size of the room is quite large. Penta hotel didn't serve breakfast but they have two nice restaurant located on ground floor, noodles restaurant and pizza restaurant. Best thing I love of Penta hotel is the location were surrounded by shopping center, 100 % all of people's need are there. Subway are just 5 minutes walk to the left side of the hotel and bus station as well. Miss. Summer introduced Da Wan Ju restaurant for us, for this I thank to her, we eat our lunch and dinner every day there. She really have a good knowledge of her city. Just walk about 10 minutes to the right , after the shopping mall turn to right and walk straight to the restaurant. I strongly recommend Penta Hotel if you visit Beijing, aether for business, honeymoon, families trip or with friends. Thanks to Penta Hotel

We stayed for 5 nights in a Suite Room in this strategically located hotel just beside the Hongqiao Pearl Market. It is near the Tiantan Dongmen Subway Station (just outside the hotel), Temple Of Heaven and a 20 mins walk to the Red Theatre Kung Fu Show. Plenty of food options around, KFC, McDonalds, Yoshinoya, SUBWAY, Dairy Queen, Starbucks and various restaurants. There is a very good Chinese Restaurant directly across the hotel. The staff's in the front desk were very helpful, giving us directions & advises (even writing in Chinese characters in a piece of paper) the places we planned to visit. And you can also book tours (Great Wall Tours) and show tickets (Acrobatic & Kung Fu Show) at discounted prices from them with free one way transportation to the shows (send off). Better to book your show tickets in the hotel because its cheaper than buying directly at the Theatres. Our spacious Suite Room features a separate living room with a big sofa set and a comfortable Bedroom with a King Sized Bed and a Single Bed. There is water dispenser, electric kettle, two flat screen LCD TV's (one in the living room & one in the bedroom), wardrobe, mini fridge & Hair Dryer. WIFI was very good. Slippers & toiletries (including toothbrush & toothpaste, comb) provided. Hot & Cold Shower. Highly recommended for families seeking a homey, relaxing & comfortable atmosphere while touring Beijing for the attractions, food & shopping.

We stayed from 30th January to 2nd February 2009 at a very good rate. I travelled with a friend who knew how to use the subway and it was an excellent experience but it's about half a kilometre away and there are buses and plenty of taxis which are cheap if you haven't got a lot of time. The breakfast is great - plenty of things that westerners will eat and best of all, lots of pretty good coffee. Not always easy to find away from the western hotel chains. Staff polite and helpful. English spoken and they were happy for us to practice our not-very-good Chinese.
