Find 2-Star Hotels in Beijing

I had a wonderful stay at Siye Homestay! The help desk staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, making sure I had everything I needed during my stay. The location was perfect - there were plenty of food choices nearby, from street food to restaurants, so I never went hungry. Plus, having a convenience stall downstairs was super convenient for grabbing any essentials. But what really impressed me was the proximity to nearby malls. I could easily walk to the shopping centers, which made exploring the area a breeze. Overall, I highly recommend Siye Homestay for its excellent service, convenient location, and affordability.

We are 2 friends and both are new to Beijing and let alone China. We are first time here. For me the room is great enough, light was all working fine. The toothbrush and soap provided but need to get from reception. I was using iPhone so I cannot use the WiFi as it only works with Android due to firewall. Location wise I think it is easy to find even with Google Map. For those using Metro, Dongsi Station Exit G is the nearest one, while Exit D is the second nearest. Two main metro line to Dongsi Station is Metro Line 5 & 6. But we normally use line 6 because it is nearest to Exit G. The area is close to Forbidden Palace, you can get there with one change of metro service. When I went to Forbidden Palace, I did go there using Metro then walk back as it is only around 1.6km walking after the Exit at Forbidden Palace and took about 20 minutes walking. I did use Baidu map to walk to the hotel from Forbidden Palace and you will take short cuts which will end up at the back of Renaissance Hotel. Tips : mark the hotel in Baidu map so you can easily get the map working especially if cannot speak Chinese like me. On Dongsi West St there is National Art Museum and it is free. I did went there alone after checkout, there are 6 floors of exhibits there. Walk to Wangfujing shopping st would take you around 15 minutes. The famous Prime Hotel Beijing is like 5 minutes walk from the hotel. Not much to do at night as shops literally close early at around 8PM to 9PM except for McDonald’s which close at 11PM like 5 minutes walk from hotel. There is a mosque near hotel if you are Muslim like me but the mosque is a bit run down and closes its door and you need to ask the caretaker to open the door if you want to pray. Overall I’m satisfied with the hotel which I think is very basic and fits our budget. I wish there is a cupboard inside the room for us to hang out clothes and fridge. The toilet however is spacious and hot water can only be used for 20 minutes then we need to wait again for 30 minutes for it to replenish which is a problem if there are a lot of people to take shower at same time. Improvement for hotel : 1 Put small cupboard in room for guest to hang clothes. 2 Change the curtain as it is very old and looks like not wash for long time. 3 Better if room has small fridge for guest to store food. Getting there : Metro from took like 50 minutes with 3 changes in metro line. For me it is very easy, and cheap cost like 40RMB in Alipay. Overall the surrounding maybe take 2 days for you to be familiar with but I think it is good enough as there are McDonalds, Luckin coffee and also bakery near the hotel like 5 minutes walk. Small convenience store is there in the back alley but close like at 8PM. Reason I chose this hotel : 1 Your taxi can get there straight in front of hotel as it is not in Forbidden Palace area where some place taxi cannot get in and you need to carry your bag through busy street 2 Easy access as you walk 10 minutes from Dongsi Station Exit G/D to get to hotel 3 Near Dongsi mosque if you want to pray if you’re muslim 4 Very quiet area as a bit far from Forbidden Palace area or Wangfujing 5 Lots of shops to eat and cafe on Dongsi N st or Meishuguan E st near the Prime Beijing Hotel 6 A few halal muslim restaurant for you to eat if you are picky eater and not familiar with convenience store food 7 When go out of hotel turn left at end of the Dadoufu Ln there is small convenience you can buy food but close early around 8PM.

Big and nice hotel room, very spacious, I like it so much, price is high. Surrounded with local. Supermarket and restaurant. Located in between 2 different metro station. No common facilities, except the water cattle inside the room.

Location be careful - It is located “inside” Zhong Gu hotel 中谷酒店 main gate。Nearly cannot find it. Otherwise. staff are helpful. and there is a compilation of attractions for Beijing. information and how to get there. Room Wifii is not stable hence the internet TV sometimes no signal. Otherwise the hotel is fine.

Although the hotel door is being renovated and the room is a bit small, the hotel still surprises our family. There are good free self-service laundry facilities, the laundry room is very hygienic and provides everything needed. The lobby also provides free drinks and boiled water. The hotel used a robot to deliver takeaway meals to the room, much to the delight of the children. The hotel staff are very kind and responsible.

This location and this price are great value! The bus Shazikou East Station, the subway Jingtai Station and the Yongdingmen Station are not far away. It is not far to take a taxi to watch the flag-raising ceremony in the early morning. The transportation is very convenient. It is a single-family building with simple decoration and solid wall toilets. The sanitary conditions are even better than some chain hotels. The big sisters at the front desk are very good, simple and plain, and the price is relatively stable. It is reasonable to suspect that it is a guesthouse in many places in Beijing, and the price is just right.

I stayed in The Pagoda light Hostel for 4 nights at the end of March 2025. The location was great, just 7 mins away by foot from a very centric metro station. The mero station takes you directly to Tiananmen plaza. There are also multiple buses which stop right in front of the hostel. It is located in a main street, not too busy but very well lit at night. On the way from the hostel to the metro there are several small shops where you can buy some small things for breakfast or dinner (I strongly recommend the baozi). The hostel was quite nice, the vibes are pretty good. There is a small cafe downstairs, at the entrance of the hotel, so sometimes there's people just hanging out in that area. The staff were helpful and very nice. The rooms were clean and well equipped. My only complaint would be regarding the shower/bathroom area. It's located at the center of the hostel and thus has no direct ventilation, so the bathroom is always kind of smelly and humid. Although they try their best to keep it clean (during my stay I noticed a team continuously cleaning the bathroom), the smell is still kind of uncomfortable, but not absolutely impossible.

Hygiene: Much better than expected, overall very good Environment: Two floors, each with separate access control Very close to Tiananmen Square, much more cost-effective than the flag-watching site, but I don't know if it's during the May Day holiday, the route to the square is a bit confusing

hotel is near food centers, shopping centers, local market (behind hotel), near Beijing Metro. But there is no elevator, if you are strong enough to bring your 20s kilogram up to 5th floor, then this hotel is perfect (also no refrigerator).

The location of the hotel is very good, and it is very convenient to go to the subway station, Prince Gong's Mansion, and Shichahai. The price-performance ratio is very high. I don't know if it's because of the air conditioning in the room, it feels very dry. Of course, it may be due to the climate, but I didn't feel this way when I stayed in other hotels a few days ago. 🧐The only regret is the cleaning of the room. Because I stayed for a few days, maybe the cleaning standards are different. There were two days when the toilet paper was not added enough, and one day the toilet trash can was not cleaned. The water outlet position on the top of the shower room should be installed slightly towards the door, so the water overflowed from the shower door after use. In fact, I am very satisfied with the hotel overall. Overall, the location, service, cleanliness, and facilities exceeded expectations. 👍
