Grand Mercure Beijing Central

Big hotel close to the Forbidden City and Tienanmen Square. We had a spacious and clean room, and was comfortable too. The hotel staff was extremely helpful and nice, they helped us in checking us in earlier, getting taxis and giving us directions about what was in the proximities. The breakfast is good, there is of course more Chinese options, but you can find more or less everything you need. We did not have dinner in the hotel restaurant. There is a pool as well but we did not use it.

Perfectly located, not so far from the Tiananmen square, even by walk. The building itself is not a modern one, but kept in a very good shape, clean and tidy. Breakfast is simply fantastic both for asian and western guests, wide selection, good quality ingredients. Staff quite helpful, also spoke rather good English.

I really enjoyed my stay in this hotel. I chose the hotel to spend my weekend between two business trips (Korea-China), but it worked out as a mini-holiday. Everything was nice, quiet, friendly, comfortable. There is a swimming pool with a small sauna area and a gym. Breakfast was great. The hotel is a bit old, but it has its atmosphere and soul in it. I even returned here for the second weekend after the business trip. The location is very convenient - the center of the city, five minutes work to a metro station (there are two, you can choose which is more convenient). There is a bus stop next to the hotel where you can take a bus to the express to the Great Wall (20 minutes). The personnel speaks English, and very friendly. Generally I felt very comfortable and relaxed in this place.

I liked the location and the cleanliness. I enjoyed the breakfast which I paid separately from my rate room, one time during my stay. There are good pastries and coffee. I enjoyed one time lunch at the internal all-day dining restaurant, and I wish to extend my gratitude to Tina, who attended me with premure. The food at lunch was a la carte and good 👍. The room was spacious, however, already outdated, like the rest of the hotel, though in normal status of maintenance. There is no view from the window. The hotel has only 10 floors but this is Beijing, I understand there are not high rise building. I wish I could say something on the gym and pool, but I had no time to enjoy them in my 3 days' stay.

Big modern, rooms in great condition. Nice pool and nice English speaking staff. Amazing breakfast! Both traditional Chinese food, including a noodle station, and continental breakfast. I would describe it as lavish.
