Find hotels in Long Corridor at the Summer Palace

we booked the xijiao hotel for a family group - three couples and one single. one of our party arrived three days early for some work meetings prior to the family holiday. three of the on-site restaurants were used, and in each of them the food and service was excellent and very good value. given the close proximity of the hotel to the subway, public transport was used for the business meetings - the subway station is only five of minutes walk away. the xijiao hotel offers an excellent option for budget accommodation in beijing, for either business or tourism travellers. the only downside from a tourism perspective is that the hotel is a little way out of town, so there is a surcharge when booking excursions. however, the hotel is close to the summer palace. we would suggest opting for the "business standard" room, which includes some amenities not offered in the least expensive rooms.

The hotel was fine but lacked atmosphere in the general areas. The restaurants were not particularly welcoming but were of a reasonable standard. The bar/lounge in the lobby was cold and uninviting. For us the location was not good as we were on a sightseeing tour and was far from most sites apart from the summer palace. The nite life in Beijing is also about 30 mins by taxi. In summary, decent enough hotel but too far out of town.

We stayed here one night for our one-year wedding anniversary-oh my god, the room was more than we expected! We had the deluxe room and the bathroom was massive, it has a hallway with a bathtub and a separate part for the toilet. I really enjoyed my stay. the only weird thing was that we requested the wifi password at the front desk and they failed to tell us it is not free. so we used the wifi and at the end of our stay were charged 60RMB for about 3 hours' usage. oh and the other weird thing was the spa- DON'T go there. as they "rubbed" (lightly touched) my feet for 20 minutes and charged 188 RMB (extremely expensive--you can go to a different spa in the area and pay 68 RMB for an hour of intense and methodical massaging). or go to the ya shao market across town and pay 30 RMB for a good half-hour massage.

Although the hotel is quite far north far most tourist attractions, I was really impressed by my stay here - I actually added two more nights to my stay here rather than moving to a hotel closer to Sanlitun because I liked it so much. When I went for a swim at 9.30pm, I had the lovely indoor pool to myself. It is also very easy to get to from the subway station Xitucheng on Line 10. I'd stay here again, especially if going to visit the Summer Palace or Olympic site.

I chose the Liaoning Hotel as I had a meeting in Tsinghua University. The price offered on agoda was excellent for a lesser hotel and when i got there i was amazed at the room size, quality and finish. I ordered room service and got excellent fish and chips after midnight. The hotel is modern, spacious and the room impeccable. The staff are friendly and do their best to assist. I will certainly stay again for meetings in Tsinghua, where i walked to my destination building in 20 minutes from the hotel along a straight line.

The hotel is very nice and clean with a comfortable hot spring. But the check-in staff makes a terrible mistake. I confirmed with him several times that if my reservation is without breakfast. He said, "if you want to have breakfast at the hotel, you need to pay an extra fee." And when I check the reservation on agoda, I found that my reservation included the breakfast.

I have stayed here twice in the past month. 5/5 primarily for the location (3 mins walk to the nearest subway station-lines 10 and 13) and value for money. Very near the university district and ideal if you are planning to spend alotof time in the northwestern or central part of Beijing (it is less than half an hour to Nanluoguxiang by subway too, with only 1 change on the subway). Don't expect it to be at the doorstep of the Forbidden City. Beijing is a massive city and people underestimate the distances between destinations. The room is very comfortable, spacious and had every amenity I needed. Heating/cooling seems to be controlled centrally. It seemed adequately warm in winter but abit too warm in the afternoon. Positives - there are numerous power points in the room which can accommodate UK and Australian plugs. Some reviews mentioned internet wasn't working/slow but I had no issues using the LAN and Wifi on the 6th floor. Coffee in the deli at the lobby was not exorbitant, service at the 24 hours cafe on the ground floor was friendly (which is not what one always experiences in Beijing), food average but adequate. Also tried the Japanese restaurant on the 1st floor which had some good lunch sets. There is a busy street to the right of the hotel facing the subway station with plenty of eateries (24 hours KFC), local foods, bakeries and at least 3 well equipped convenience stores.

We enjoyed an excellent overnight stay at Lakeview. The staff were exceptionally polite and friendly. Particularly the waiter in the grill and greenery room, who couldn't have been more pleasant and helpful. The rooms were delightful, plenty of space and a gorgeous, large bathroom. We will definitely stay here again. The location is perfect for the summer palace area.

the location of the hotel is excellent. it is about 10 minutes walking distance from bus. you can get a taxi to the t station in $10. the room is fine but the bathroom is outdated. the tub is small even for 5 feet tall woman. the plug to the bath tub was stuck and i had to call the front desk to have someone to remove it. the electric teapot is outdated and has water stain at the bottom. called the front desk to replace one but they told me that all the teapots are the same.

The location is great. There is a bus stop right outside of the alley where this hotel is located. It would take you to either Yuanmingyuan or Yiheyuan with 1 stop, and 2 stops to Qinghua U. or Beijing U. The subway station is also within one stop by bus. The flowery trees in the traditional Chinese garden, the interior Chinese decor, and the glass bridge over the goldfish pond are all lovely. Best of all, the internet is working properly; very unusual for a Chinese hotel. The breakfast includes many courses with a reasonable price of RMB$30 per person. All in all, this hotel could have deserved a 5-star, if its service didn’t make me miserable. When I was having my breakfast, an attendant claimed that I was not the guest in my room, even though my room key holder has my room number on it. She said the guest was supposed to be a foreign male. I told her the front desk has the copy of my travel document on file, but she wouldn’t give up harassing me. Probably in her eyes, a female native Chinese speaker could not possibly come from overseas alone. Were you kidding me? Unfortunately, I booked with this hotel for 4 non-consecutive stays, so my misery didn’t just end with this one case. Keep reading my other reviews… 这酒店什么都好就是服务太差，我用早餐的时候居然有一个服务生一再来骚扰我，说我不是该店的旅客，说我的房间应该是一个外国男人，我的确是来自海外，但不是洋人，我的手上拿着房门钥匙套上有我房间的号码，酒店前台也有我的旅行证件影印本，凭什么一再来骚扰我？不幸我在这酒店订了4天，后面几天还有更糟的遭遇…..

My stay at GreenTree was fine. My choice was mainly based on location and price, since I needed a hotel in the Haidian District near Wudaokou and the major universities in Beijing. The price was very good, and the room was very clean, the bed comfortable. I liked how they provided bottles of fresh water and green tea packets so I could drink tea. I had to check out at 5am, and the process was very quick. I would stay here again.
