DoubleTree by Hilton Beijing Badaling

I prepaid a three day’s room which includes half board (dinner included). When I checked in, the front desk even did not mention the arrangement of three days’ dinner. Until I presented the reservation details, the front desk asked me to go to room first and wait for the call. Then I received two calls from hotel to ask me cancel the online orders and pay cash to front desk. I said NO, it is nonrefundable. The kitchen called me soon for food service for 2 adults and 1 kid? I corrected that there is only one adult. I can only choose three dishes, I can not order from the menu, so I denied. I ended up with eat nothing from hotel, I had to order a take out. The second day, I tried to solve this issue. Three days half board dinner I paid is equal to 1.7 room price. So I asked hotel to give me just 2 more days stay, I feel it is fair to both sides because it comes back and forth 8 times. The hotel denied my proposal. I asked for refund, the hotel denied again. Finally I called China National Platform of Consumer Dispute Hotline 12315. 12315 informed Yanqing District’s Cultural Tourism Bureau of Beijing to process this issue, it works. The manager called me soon to offer 2 more days free stay, BUT I must agree this issue is over, I agreed. In addition, the breakfast were same everyday, only 3 vegetable dish, 3 meat dishes, noodles are overcooked etc. The services of hotel’s reservation department, front desk, dinner, breakfast and manager’s response are not professional.

It is 20 min from Great Wall of China; but around there is no restaurant. We ate restaurant inside hotel, food is good; also breakfast buffet is the best. Staffs are friendly but no English speaking, we used google translator. Great hotel, strongly recommend if you want to go Great Wall of China

Excellent overall very kind personnel but not very well catered to foreign tourism as per language. But they all did their best and had translating gadgets to help out. Also the food was good but restaurant would close to early and not provide room service even though in the room they advertise it.

Wonderful
