Kempinski Hotels & Resorts North China hotels

"The staff and service at this hotel was exceptional. One of the best in Asia so far!"

"All the staff were very kind and polite. Awesome place to stay. "

"We had an excellent stay in the Conrad Beijing. It’s well worth the price, and everything was pretty affordable for someone from England (the same hotel in London would be over £3,000 for eight nights, as opposed to around £1,000 in Beijing!) Even the minibar was cheap - a coke was £1, compared to €15 in Croatia. The lovely restaurants and bars were also surprisingly inexpensive, though much less so than more pedestrian places elsewhere in the city. The hotel is not particularly near to any tourist attractions, but it is easy to reach these as transport is dirt-cheap in Beijing (a matter of pence, or a couple of pounds for a taxi). So relatively long distances feel much shorter, and the hotel is near to a couple of underground railway stations. The room was exceptional, with all sorts of bits and bobs to imbue it with that extra feeling of luxury. It was thoroughly cleaned everyday, which was very pleasant to return to. The room was also HUGE. The hotel has some nice facilities, although be prepared for quite a serious swimming pool experience, replete with a swimming cap mandate - and no messing around! My only complaint was the distinct lack of English-speaking staff, which was less of a problem for me, (the missus is Chinese). Others may struggle to communicate, though. While alone, a waitress presented me with a translation stating simply ‘period’ - I assume she was asking whether my ‘age’ was requisite for buying alcohol (I’m a rather babyfaced 20-year-old!)"

"Good"

"Given the age of the hotel, there is some wear and tear in the rooms. But, the staffs were very nice and accommodating. They even brought an air cooler to our room since there is no air condition during winter. The best part of the hotel are the staffs, they were very helpful and friendly. I didn’t get everyones name but thank you Ivanka and team."

"Spacious rooms and great staff service. Appreciate the souvenir gift we received from the hotel. "

"Huge hotel, well located for the sights!"

"Very good value for money and in an excellent location, in the heart of old Beijing."

"The location is very central. It's right next to a subway station, just a few blocks way from the Tiananmen square and within walking distance from the Forbidden city. The staff, Lucky, James and Amber are very helpful and nice. However, the TVs are small, shower drain and hinge were a bit rusty, the heater was not controlable, and light switches were not labeled. Overall, it's really good for the price "
