I rated this 4 stars because you cannot do 3.5 but it is probably more accurate to call this a 3.5 to 4 star hotel. I am an American living in London who travels extensively so here you go. LOCATION: This hotel is located 1 mile from the nearest subway station which isTian'anmen East Station. We found these to be... More

Stayed here for 3 nights at the start of our 3 week tour to China. We were greeted on arrival by English speaking staff which helped make the checking in process easy. Our room was on the ground floor and was bright and clean and modern. There was a mini fridge stocked with water, cola and a couple of beers!... More

We loved this hotel but I'd understand it not being to everyone's taste. If you are the type of person who doesn't like New World Wine, risque comedy or music written after you were born, it may not be the place for you. The rooms are very well designed to maximise the space - they are actually quite small but... More

This is a wonderful hotel. The people are very helpful and it's in a nice location near the Forbidden City. You will find you can have a very good time walking 10 minutes in any direction to find all the interesting parts of Beijing.

An excellent hotel, wonderful value and central to Tian'anmen square and the Forbidden City. Staff, especially in restaurant, very cheerful and helpful. Their knowledge of English was excellent. The cleaning staff were always smiling. Reception staff not as enthusiastic in their work! The decor was certainly a talking point. Very modern and quirky. The room was spacious and light with...

We stayed here for 2 nights. The location was perfect for seeing what Beijing has to offer, and the price was perfect. The staff held our bags even after we checked out for 12 hours while we toured Beijing and then waited for our flight! Also, the restaurant had pretty good food and a great view.

The staff are nice, the location is good. The decoration and design are a bit odd though. I think my room had as much closet and storage space as actual floor space. The shape of the room was a bit bowling alley-esque. When I stayed here for two nights the internet access worked only intermittently and the staff were not... More

We stayed in The Emperor Hotel for one night in April 2013. The hotel is located on the East side of the Forbidden City and is the perfect location for exploring both that and Tiananmen Square. The rooms have an interesting design and are generally comfortable and clean. The staff were very helpful and the hotel itself was excellent value... More
