As a regular visitor to Beijing over many years staying at the Novotel Peace is like putting on a pair of favourite shoes or a warm coat on a chiilly morning. It starts upon entering the majestic old world foyer where well trained front office and concierge staff are only too pleased to be of assistance.The rooms are comfortable, quiet and well appointed - many offer views towards the Forbidden City. It's location is second to none a fact leveraged upon by the emergence of other more expensive hotels in the immediate area. Wangfujing shopping street is close by and it's within walking distance of the Forbidden City and Tiananmen Square. One of the highlights is the breakfast buffet where you'll be spoiled for choice and have the opportunity to watch the city come to life after a good night's sleep. One stay will have you returning and telling others of the hotel's charm...
the hotel itself was very nice, especially the french resturant was superb for me and my chinese girlfriend. However our booked room no. 2201 could be better. I thought that the standard was higher. Too old equipment / furniture inside the room. I will be happy to stay at your hotel next time, and the room next time can be better Best regards..
Although the hotel looks old, the service is really good! The linens are changed everyday; and the staff are very helpful and courteous. The location of the hotel is a great plus!..
The locaiont is good. The room is too old and needs a major update. Service I received was very good though...
The pros is the location, very easy to get yourself down to the beijing shopping district as well as the "night snack street" but cons is the room condition, isn't that good and furniture looks old...
