Great location within walking distance of major sights (Forbidden City, Tianenmen Sqaure, Qianmen Street). The hotel was quiet and clean, although very tired (shabby carpet, etc.). Still, good value for the price.The bed in my room was hard as a rock, but at least everything was clean and well-equipped. The housekeeping and maintenance staff were excellent; front desk staff not as helpful. You get what you pay for!
