Review of Beijing Red Wall Hotel by Gustav

There were three of us travelling together so we booked a suite with an extra bed for us. When checking in I asked what room type we were given and was told it was a suite. We were greatly disappointed when we came to the room of this 4-star hotel (that is what they call it), the room was just big enough for the bed, extra bed and couch. I knew from the brouchure that the hotel only had 3 suites and two deluxe suites, yet according to the fire plan our room was exactly the sime size as eight others on the same floor. At the reception the still claimed we had a suite but I explained that I wanted a bigger room (which was hard, withtheir limited english), which we eventually got. I'm still not sure though it it really was a suite we got. The last evening a chinese friend of ours came in and got us a smaller room at a lower cost, because the "suite" was certanly not worth paying extra for. The city-view bar was non-existent. The three rooms we were in all had dirty carpets, you did not want to walk bare-foot on them. Slippers were provided though. Only good thing about this hotel is the location, it is in a cosy neighbourhood within walking distance of the tourist spots. I would however, NOT recommend that you stay at this hotel.
