Dongsi Hotel

Dongsi Hotel is located in what is known as Da Duo Fu lane within a hutong. It is within two train stations (DongSi & Zhongguo Meishuguan). It is also surrounded on 4 sides (5 mins walk), by streets filled with small food outlets, cafes and bakeries. There is also a supermarket near by for drinks & snacks. Those who need pre-paid card there is a China Mobile outlet nearby. The rooms are clean. Towel, shower gel & shampoo are provided. NOT provided are disposal like toothbrush, toothpaste, shaver & shower cap. The toilet bowl is the seating type. The receptionists (Gu & Huang) were helpful. Huang even taught us to book DiDi without local HP via WeChat. Do have Google translate in standby, as they can understand & explain only in Chinese. There are two zones on ground floor, so take note of zone (A or B) & room no to get into your correct room. Else room card will fail. Order Taobao if you stayed at least 4 days, as it takes at most 4 days to delivered to hotel. All Taobao orders go into a white cupboard at entrance.

The location of the hotel it’s good because you have the metro nearby. The hotel it’s just disgusting, the room it’s full of mosquitos and because of the humidity you will find hundred of mosquito humidity… the bathroom smells like a public toilet… if you have a small budget then this hotel it’s for you but for a few more € I were you I will choose another one. I choose the hotel because of the recommendations but they are far away from the truth. The girl from the reception Xion was ver nice and helpful.

Location of the hotel was good and close to all key sites of beijing. Thankfully I am a chinese speaking foreigner so encountered little problems when speaking to hotel staff who couldn't speak english. The room has no service and no wifi. The room was not cleaned (nor came cleaned) during our 2 night stay. However these are expected in a budget hotel. 3 things I did not expect however in a budget hotel were: Black pillowing smoke out of the clearly broken (for a long time) hairdryer. Gaps in the door which meant the room stayed light and we could hear other guests during the day and night when we were in the room. A notice placed on our bathroom after our first night directing us to take showers at intervals of 30 mins because of the hot water capacity of the hotel. And worst of all... to have my phone grabbed out of my hand as I was checking out and have the reception staff attempt to complete a faultless 5 star review.

The location is amazing, you can borrow share bikes next the hotel and it is just few minutes to the forbidden city and other atraction in centre. The stuff was very nice - first day they help my bring my luggages to my room and the last day I could let my luggages on reception and take it later without extra paying. There is some tea on reception for free. I am not sure if they changed my towels but they were cleaning my room every day. My data were not working in my room but in the hall it was okay. It was nice stay.

The location wise is very near to subway Dongsi line chocolate, only 5-10minutes of walking, receptionist unable to speak english but be prepare with google translate, hotel no elavator and only STAIRS! My room is at level 3. Tiring with luggage. No breakfast provided. Wifi very very slow connection and cannot access some app like wassap, twitter or tiktok. Bed was really hard!! I had my back ache. However, if you are muslim traveller, the location is quiet near to Dongsi Mosque for prayer. Overall 3/5

The room is excellent - it's clean and comfortable. Li Yiran at the front desk was particularly polite and very helpful! Thank you. The other two guy staff members who assisted us on the first day were also good. While the hotel does not have an elevator, they were considerate enough to assign us a room on a lower floor to accommodate our family. One suggestion for improvement in general would be to enhance English language skills among the staff to facilitate better communication for foreign guests. Overall, it was great value for money. Thank you..
