"It was an okay hostel. Relatively clean with a good location. Bathrooms were also clean. Just have to be careful about finding it. I went based on the location in the map on the app (couldnt find it in any other app), and spent over an hour looking for it. Even the local shops didn't know where it was located. Had me walking around in circles. Suggestion: as to be added on wechat as soon as you reserve to avoid any misunderstandings"

Top China Hotel Reviews

Grand Hyatt Shanghai

10/10 Excellent

"Lugar excelente, solo que la Comida del piso 86 no del nivel del resto del hotel y carísima para lo que entregan"

LiveFortuna Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel was absolutely lovely and in such a great location! It’s around an hour’s walk to the Forbidden City and 45 minutes to Wangfujing Pedestrian Street, making it a great base for exploring Beijing. The room was cleverly laid out to maximise storage space, the bed was super cosy, and I really appreciated the utensils provided. There’s also a Starbucks downstairs for your morning coffee, although the Parisian bakery just a couple of minutes down the road is well worth a visit! There’s also a 7-Eleven nearby, which is really handy for picking up any essentials. The real star of the show, however, was definitely the pool overlooking the skyline, absolutely gorgeous at night and such a highlight of our stay! Would definitely recommend."
