Beijing Fuyou Street Hotel (Xidan Branch)

The Hotel provides good service (check in, check out, self-service laundery, and luggage deposit (can also be used over night, when doing a two day great wall trip). The rooms are very clean and match the pictures on the website. European users should be aware that they might need an AC-outlet adapter, but sufficient USB-A and USB-C sockets are provided in the room. Basic English communication skills are present. Further questions were handled well by the use of translator apps Please be aware that the hotel is close to the security checkpoints of the forbidden city and the Tian'anmen square. You should always carry passports or ID cards with you to pass the checkpoints. A short walk (~15 minutes) is required from the subway stations. Alternatively, some Hello ride bikes are available in front of or near the hotel.

Walking through the Hutong to the subway was one of the highlights. Very comfortable room, and excellent staff. They even washed and dried our clothes while we were sightseeing, no extra charge?! We enjoyed staying a bit off the main streets as it was quiet and restful after the crowds. Great value!

The hotel staff was very friendly. They didn't speak English but they had a translator app. Our daughter speaks Chinese so we didn't have any problems. The hotel staff was very helpful showing us the amenities like laundry. There was a big rainstorm while we were there. One of the people raced out to our taxi and gave us an umbrella so we didn't get wet. We were glad to find that the hotel had a restaurant that we could eat in so we didn't have to leave during the storm. The restaurant was very good.

Great location and walking distance to the square and palace. Was greeted by a friendly front desk and the room was excellent.

Not for foreigners the staff doesn’t speak English Breakfast only Chinese

Great hotel, the staff were very helpful and the hotel was clean and nice.

The western commode was super dirty as you can see in the photo.

Can only say good things, friendly staff, clean room and good location!

Fu You Jie Hotel is situated in the middle and about 10 minutes' walk from either Xidan station (line 1) and Lingjing Hutong station (line 4). I stayed for two weeks. It was an OK stay. My days are spent outdoors and only came back later in the evening to sleep so I didnt spend much time at the hotel. The place is in a quieter street but still within walking distance of Xidan shopping area and nearby major attractions such as Tiananmen Square and Palace Museum/Forbidden Palace. Staff do not speak English, which is expected but was disheartening when every time (three separate occasions) I tried to communicate in broken Chinese with some English they only show blink faces and turn away...Despite what it says on the hotel's site, there was no airport service, or if there were, I was given a curt, no answer. Cleanliness is OK. There was a small layer of dust on the lamp table on the other side of the bed. There was also a smell in the bathroom, had to use my body spray and got rid of it after a few days. There is daily housekeeping, but it was mainly to make the bed, take out trash, and add two bottles of water. Front door is not soundproof so you'll hear neighbors coming and going and if there are children, yelling and running. Breakfast is Chinese cuisine. I had it once. Overall, a good stay but if I visit Beijing again I will stay at another hotel.
