FX Hotel BeiJing ZhongGuanCun

dirtiest hotel I've ever lived in my life, walls are peeling, mold everywhere, whole place smells of strong mold. I stay in Hotels regularly in Beijing and this is by FAR the worst

The hotel is ok, fairly clean. Nobody from the staff speaks English. The brakfast is Chinese and awful. The hotel is very far from downtown Beijing. The closest metro station t about 15-mins walk.

The only decent thing in this hotel is the lobby. The rest was a nightmare! Checking in took a while because they have no king beds to offer us and were also finding problems in allocating our rooms on the same floor. The horror started when we arrived at our floor. The corridor smelt of mold, it was old and scary. Opened the room door and to my disgust, the room was in super bad condition - wall stains and cracks, broken floor tiles and very old furniture. Well, not just my room apparently! My friends' rooms were the same - OMG! We decided to head down to ask if they can change our rooms and guess what? The hotel staff was so rude. She said in a very sarcastic tone that since we booked this construction room type through an overseas website, we have to accept it! Also, if the room is a construction room, the hotel should either make clear to travellers or in the best scenario, not sell to travellers at all because we are talking about compromising of safety here. Anyway, the 1st night we had to stay in that broken room because they said there were no rooms available and they can change us to king bed rooms the next day. That night, while me and friend were chatting, wall tiles started falling! Next morning, we couldn't hold it any longer and we demand better rooms. They had no choice but to agree and we were allocated to slightly better rooms (still no king bed) The whole experience was horrid. Please, choose another hotel!

The hotel is no so good

The wall titles were torn and dropped off, the floor was badly damage and with sharp corners everywhere, aircon with loud noise, rusty toilet, heater now working and toilet bowl was choked! Service sucks! Not helpful at all! Worst hotel ever!

We chose the hotel for convenient access to Beijing University - by bus Rmb 2 or by cab Rmb 13. Possible to walk (20 min to reach South east entrance). We stayed in Room 1711. The water pressure was good for shower. There's pleanty of food around the hotel area..

Not sure what FX is trying to be. Looked like this was essentially a renovated apartment building - but very unevenly done! Modern new shower and bathroom fixtures - but cracks, stains on the walls, ceiling, peeling paint, etc. An ancient wall unit A/C that did not work my first night (it was 94 degrees that day) but the very kind and attentive staff switched my room to one with a working unit. The hallways are grim - just a very strange place. Wireless was also poor - which in this day is hard to fathom!

When first arriving and checking-in I was suprised by the staff's total lack of English skills, not even a single Word could be spoken. Nonetheless, they were still trying to make the check-in process go smoothly although they took relatively long time to retrieve my booking and couldn't explain why... the day after when i came back to the hotel in the evening I was upset to find that they hadnät cleaned my room although it wss clearly stated on the website that cleaning should be made evry day. <i made a big fuss and they upgraded my room which was nice so they were still reasonable to deal with. Hotel is quite far from the metro but rooms are nice particularly the bathtub in the upgraded room.

You'd better speak some chinese if you fancy staying at this FX. None of the staff speaks a word of anything else so asking for a taxi, a restaurant, directions etc isvery complicated. Comfortable beds and the room was separated in two by a glass wall and second door which meant you don't hear any noise from the corridor in your bed. No breakfast available, three star interiors.

I would just like to state that I am a frequent traveler, and that I have stayed in many hotels and hostels much cheaper than this one and in better condition. I had the most nightmarish experience staying here. I arrive at the hotel at 7pm. The staff rudely hand me two cards, not explaining to me that one was for the door and one for the elevator. Only one elevator was working and servicing 23 floors. I go to my room on the 7th floor and use the card to open the door.The light on the door flashed green, but the door wouldn't open and seemed jammed. I kick the base of the door and push it open, and I find the door frame broken. I go downstairs to tell the staff about the broken door, they insisted it must not be broken and ask me to go up with another hotel staff and explaining the state of the room. After that, they tell me to go downstairs and wait to get another room. I go to my second room, find the wooden floors warped or splintered, room dusty and one tap broken. I check out the next day. Long story short, the staff inform me I have to pay 1500RMB to fix the door of my first room., insisting that they would call the police if I did not. I argued with them for nearly an hour, with 3 of them ganging up against me. In the end they 'agreed' to let me pay 500RMB. Pressed for time and not wanting to involve the police, I paid and walked away angry, frustrated and hungry. I learn later from my friends in China that a door would cost 200-300RMB to repair. Do not stay here

Seriously slow internet. Language issues. Food can be an issue for foreigners. Well maintained rooms.

The hotel is old - holes in the toilet, tiles fallen out, rooms reek of sewage The service staff are unhelpful and unfriendly.

Value: Great deal; Service: Good; Cleanliness: Pleasant; good value for the money - convenient to the University and shops and restaurants nearby

It was really good overall.

I booked this hotel, nonrefundable, before reading the reviews. Horrified by the reviews, I tried to cancel but couldn't so decided to "tough it out". Well, I got a renovated room that was fine - clean with new Pergo floors; soft king bed; bathroom fully stocked with toilet paper, towels, blow dryer and essential toiletries; cabled Internet access worked great (though WiFi speed was slow). There was a slight whiff of sewage in the bathroom when the toilet was flushed but keeping the exhaust fans on and the door closed precluded it from entering the bedroom. TV reception was snowy and no English channels. And there was no place to put clothes except in a small, narrow closet. The walls were paper thin, but that seems to be the norm in Chinese hotels unless a 5-star. But the location was great - within walking distance of Beijing University, shopping malls and a short ride to the Summer Palace. Also, LOTS of good places to eat, including Western food . The staff were friendly and helpful. For the money, I liked it enough to stay another night. My only caution would be to ensure you get a room on a renovated floor. Also, FX is a large chain of hotels in several countries, so becoming a member has its benefits, too.

Check in was challenging, they show 2 reservations under my name. I showed them my expedia print out and they were still confused. Maybe that is why I was double charge? read on.. This hotel is ok but i would not stay again. If you happened to book this hotel, DO NOT give them your credit card for room key deposit. They charged me for the entire stay,even though I checked in with my print out from expedia. I wasn't aware of the charge until I came back to the States and monitor my credit card activities. Charge was average out to be 13US/day cheaper than what i paid at expedia. Maybe that is why our room is so bad? didnt' give us the correct catagory room that we booked with expedia? Now I have to work with my credit card company to dispute the charge. when I hand them my card, I was told they just put an authorization and will cancel it when I checked out. Didn't know I was charged because I didnt sign anything.

洗面台のシンクが浅い上、水の勢いが強すぎて何度も水浸しになる。トイレットペーパーのホルダーがないが蓋で隠れているのでホルダーがあると思って引っ張ったら転がり落ち遥か遠くへ。

建物の一階にコンビニもあり 徒歩圏内に地下鉄の駅が２つあり 飲食店も徒歩圏内に沢山あるためとても充実した旅になりました ホテルの中も綺麗で従業員の対応も丁寧でよかったです 清掃員がまだ部屋で着替えているのに関わらず入ってきて清掃を始めたときはびっくりしました。 そこだけがびっくりした点です。

牆身是黑色的，所以房間很昏暗。剛進去就發現床上有條毛，噁！門鎖用感應卡的，但要拍卡數次所能進入。有蚊。住近電梯的，整晚都聽到其他旅客進出，那電梯大堂的門是銹的，聲音很刺耳。
