Crystal Orange Beijing Chongwenmen Hotel

Air-conditioning is the first reason we picked this hotel! We heard and read a lot of reviews mentioning that many hotels in Beijing and Shanghai haven't normally operated the cooling air-conditioning at night (or maybe during the daytime as well) even some day it's over 25c. (Only fan provided upon request at some hotel.) Another reason is that the hotel just did the big renovation, so guestrooms with bigger room size and without carpet couldn't be better! :D However, the room we got upgraded is a Deluxe room on the 1st floor where is connected to hotel lobby, guest toilet, and main entrance for all guests to pass by. Also, it's connected to an outdoor garden including smoking area. Even the request for a non-smoking room placed but couldn't help at this stage. Location: 4.5 (3-5mins from Ciqikou station cross the street or 5-8mins to Chongwenmen station) *For main entrance, pls notice the building wrapped with orange sticker. Room: 4.5 (Spacious, smart room with new modern design, great water pressure) Cleanliness: 5 Amenities: 4 (4 bottles of drinking water daily, tea & coffee plus small biscuits. No toothbrush, shower cap, comb, shaving kit) Buffet Breakfast: 4.5 (Cover all basic lines; Chinese, small Western corner (with no choice for egg) Staff: 3.85 (Some tried to help out but some not. We checked-in pretty late ard 6pm but said the room wasn't ready. That could probably be the reason why we got the room upgraded. Google translation app needed) Surrounding: 3.5 (a bakery shop in front of the hotel, some of chain restaurants/bakery shops in a building opposite the hotel. A few big dept stores, restaurants, coffee shops can be found around Chongwenmen station)

Excellent service. Front desk staff was very helpful, received a lot of help with directions and booking of taxi from Jia Ling Hui and Liu. Excellent location, with two train stations nearby, and lots of shopping malls down the road. Breakfast was nice. Rooms were comfy and clean. Will definitely stay here again

After our weekend getaway to another city, we stayed here again because we like this place (room, location and cleanliness). Staff gave us body lotion and amenity kit upon request. There are a few malls (~10 minutes walk away) with good eateries / restaurants there e.g. HaiDiLao. Taxi to Beijing Capital Airport cost ~¥80 when we ordered it at 2pm on a weekday.

We absolutely had a wonderful eight days stay in this hotel for a family vacation! The family room we booked was spacious, clean and comfy. The hotel facilities made our stay very relaxed. Great location with easy transportation to different places. Hospitality and staff support definitely were first class! We particularly loved the semi private common areas where we chilled and enjoyed free coffees every morning before heading out.

First time in Beijing, and China in general. The staff here was very helpful and courteous. Very receptive to using translation assistance if you can’t speak mandarin (although it does help). Location is unbeatable too, a lot of stores and shops within walking distance. The room was constantly clean and organized. Got a kick out of the robot delivering your takeout to your room haha. Definitely will come here again in the future.

Near metro, convienient to travel from airport and going to major places of interest. Friendly front desk and nice clean room. Breakfast were good. A very good location to travel around Beijing using metro. You would not want to travel by carin Beijing as traffic can be quite heavy most times. Easiest and most convienient is by metro, Just need to avoid the rush hour will do. Without a doubt, would stay here again next time when coming to Beijing.

we arrived earlier than the checked in time (2.00pm) but the staff manage to get us checked in a bit earlier for us to rest. very helpful n greet us everytime we pass by. good location, very near to the train station and easy access to all eateries around n shopping malls

Hotel was nice, clean, and comfy. The front desk people couldn't speak English but we got by with translating, they were very friendly. One thing to note was the shower water temperature would get super hot at random intervals, not sure if it was just for us though.

Great location, 5min walk to metro station. Helpful staff at the reception, helped with taxi booking
