Beijing Jinlin Hotel (Beijing Tiananmen Square Qianmen Subway Station Branch)

Todo estuvo muy bien!! Pero la atención especial que nos brindó el Sr Sang y el staff de recepción fue espectacular. Muy recomendable a 50 mts del Metro

Carpet should have been changed long ago. The hotel needs a refresh as the smell in the room was not ok and too many stains on thre carpet was showing the age. Location is the only good thing. I did not have breakfast and stayed a night only. It is a quiet area.

Great location and nice hotel. But there is not pool as advertised in expedia

The website completely misrepresents the actual hotel. There is no pool, no hot tub and no hot spring water source. When I complained at the hotel about the fact there was no pool when there was a pool advertised, they said it was hotels.com who misinformed me and to take it up with them when I get home. Within the room, they only provide you with a cattle and two bottles of water. There is no coffee or tea provided. The only good thing about the hotel is the bets are comfortable, the bathrooms are nice and the metro and restaurants are very close by.

It was a little difficult to find it because it’s located inside/behind the front entrance you see in the website pictures. We got a free upgrade to a family room which is very large and has a great bathroom. I recommend to book this suite since the regular I had before had a strong cigarette smell. The breakfast is very cheap but very basic. The staff is super helpful!

Very nice room and staff at a good price with great location.

Nice and helpful staff

The hotel had no record of our booking when we were trying to check in (which might also be this booking website's fault). Took five people one and a half hours to sort things out. During this time we were told to just 'relax a bit', in a lobby devoid of empty chairs. Had to put down a cash deposit for the room eventually. Overall, the staff was somewhere between indifferent and incompetent (even by local standards). The room itself was nice, except for a seemingly broken drain in the tub (which we did not use, however). The bathroom was very spacious. Using the hotel's swimming pool incurs a handsome extra fee. We were denied breakfast, although it was specifically part of our booking. I highly recommend going through local booking channels, if you really want to stay here.

Booked there because of advertised nice swimming pool...but was under repair...so were the spas. Booked there also hoping finally for good WiFi...also not working - under repair. Quality of room kept us staying there.

I can only assume the hotel is undergoing renovation work, with absolutely no effort to hide this from guests. Staff were rude and unhelpful, even by chinese standards. The only English word spoken by reception was 'deposit'. The spa was closed. Swimming was forbidden unless you wear a swimming hat and there was an additional charge of 170RMB pp to use the hot spring! This is Kingrand Hot Spring Hotel, why else do they think people choose to stay there? Extra charge for the hot spring is ridiculous. Room was fine, although nothing in the room with any details of the hotel services, restaurant or local amenities.

This was the most beautiful hotel we have ever stayed at. If we ever travel to Beijing again we will be staying here. Hotel is located behind an Industrial Beauty Product mall which is a bit of an eye sore however once you are through the hotel gates it is as though the outside world doesn't exist

This was a side-trip with colleagues after a business trip. The Kingrand is a nice property, but not maintained as it really should be. The rooms are beautiful, modern, and have all the amenities, but little things like the shower not working properly (spitting water sideways, for example) made the hotel lacking somewhat. The location is good for sightseeing, but it's really in a seedy neighborhood. Not dangerous, just dirty and run down area. The food in the restaurant was lacking. We really only ate breakfast in the restaurant, but it's all-buffet (although eggs are cooked fresh), and little things like "cold milk" not being actually cold (and I thought using warm milk possibly dangerous), and what looked like day-old (dried out) toppings, etc for things like the congee (traditional chinese breakfast porridge) and dim sum (which is served with every meal in China, apparently!) left me wishing for fresh food.

Hotel and room were beautiful. Room was kept but not exactly clean. Some wings of hotel are still under construction.

Nice hotel. Very affordable. Really enjoyed the hot springs.

Not sure what we would be getting for the price paid which was $100 USD per night. Great value and a very nice hotel with attentive staff. Walkable to shopping and to the Forbidden Cit & Tienanmen Square. Would stay there again for sure.

Very comfortable, elegant lobby, restaurant, rooms. The food in the restaurant is great, particularly the buffet breakfasts. (both eastern and western selections) Very helpful staff; many are fluent in English. I rated the neighborhood a little less than perfect because it's a little off the beaten path and some cabbies didn't want to drive there (for reasons unbeknownst to me; the area seems quite safe).

The hotel hardware matches that of a 5-star hotel. The room is big, clean and comfortable. However, their service is poor. First, their staff barely understand English. When we check in, we presented the printout confirmation. He looked at the printout for more than 5 min then told us that he could not locate the booking. In the end, it took us more than 15 min to check in. Second, despite having paid our hotel fees, the hotel still requires a deposit payment through credit card. Problem occurred when we check out, which took us more than 20 min. After waiting for 20 min, they told us that they could not void the deposit payment and asked us to leave. We asked them to provide some supporting documents so that we could liase when our bank in case the transaction went through but they were reluctant to do so. In the end, we asked to look for their manager, who just wrote us a note on the back of the credit card slip. Given the amount we pay, we found the hotel value for money. But we found it difficult to communicate with the staff even though we understand and speak Mandarin. We would not recommend this hotel to anyone who does not understand and speak Mandarin.

It was a good hotel with good hardware. Excellent price value. The only problem is location which most cabs have problem getting to. Tip: say zhu Shi kou dong da jie, between Mei Bo hui and tian ding shopping center. There is no other way to reach hotel other than zhu Shi kou dong da jie.

Hotel location is superb! Walking distance from Temple of Heaven and Tiananmen. Only 200 yards from Qianmen Shopping Street, a premium location. Hotel staff was both super friendly and professional. English was a bit of an issue. Only 30% of the staff truly understands it and about 10% is fluent. Room cleanliness was good according to chinese standards. For an american or european citizen, all rooms smells like smoke, therefore you wouldn't consider these "non-smoking". You find this problem everywhere in China. Overall, excellent hotel. Looks and feels like a 5-star.

The Good: Beautiful hotel, with amazing rooms. Very comfortable, modern, classy. Very nice executive lounge, with free coffee The Bad:Very bad location, not known by any taxi driver, and very hard to reach, due to no left turn from main road. Far from anything relevant-Nowhere near centre. Taxi's coulnt read directions on the small hotel business cards, so we gestured to hotel concierge to write address on a big paper. Smoking permitted in executive lounge, -very bad. NO ENGLISH! The waiters didn't know what a spoon was, the reception staff coudlnt help with my query about the expensive tea , and concierge didn't know what i was requesting. Not acceptable for such a high end hotel. Food at the restaurant (Rainforset) very poor and expensive. Dry, overcooked, tastless burger, and cold pizza margerita. Breakfast OK. The Ugly: I dont often bath in the hotels, but this one looked clean so i took a chance. Big mistake. Cleaners dont scrub the bath. Aircon didnt work-room was cold.Moved me 3 times, after which i gave up. General advice Dont order tea anywhere in china, unless you're sure about the pricetag. Beware of tea scam. Google and facebook banned in china Would not stay at Kingrand again due to location and English barrier.
