I stayed here as part of a tour, and while the hotel had a few redeeming qualities, it was quite challenging to find upon arrival. The room was spacious and clean, but it had an unpleasant smell of cigarettes and some mold around the bathtub. The location is a bit far from central sightseeing areas, but there was decent nearby food options. Overall, it's a workable place for a short stay, but not without its drawbacks.

The hotel offers a somewhat average experience with rooms that sadly aren't very clean and a buffet that leaves much to be desired. While the location is central and makes it easy to get around, I found the overall condition of the place to be rather dated and not well-maintained. The service was lacking, especially with communication barriers. It might be considered a decent option if you're looking for budget-friendly accommodation, but I wouldn't expect much more than that.

I had a perfectly satisfactory stay at this hotel while touring China. The room was clean and spacious, and the breakfast was quite enjoyable. Although the surrounding area didn’t have much to offer in terms of attractions, the hotel itself was comfortable and provided a good base for exploring the city. However, the hard beds might not be for everyone, and communication with the staff could be a bit challenging due to the language barrier.

While the location near the Temple of Heaven is quite nice for sightseeing, the communication barrier with the staff was frustrating, especially when trying to get directions and book outings. Unfortunately, the room I stayed in had a smoky smell, even though it was a non-smoking floor, which was disappointing.
