Byside Hotel (Wangjing SOHO Futong Subway Station)

I had a lovely stay at this hotel! The location is close to the subway, a park, and a mall with a lot of food options. It was very convenient to get around and/or have a meal. The view from my room was fantastic! The skyline scenery was especially beautiful at night. The room came equipped with a laundry machine and refrigerator, which is very nice for long stays or travelers. The amenities were all clean and tidy. The reception and cleaning staff were warm and friendly; I felt welcome in their hotel. I would stay here again!

Very good place , will come again , have laundry machine !

The Bayside Hotel is the perfect place to stay whether it's for business or pleasure. There are a ton of good restaurants in the area. The subway station is within walking distance. The two staff members are super friendly, welcoming and helpful. Overall it was a great place to rest and recharge, but also in a location that allowed me to do touristy things.

I stayed there for a month almost (still in the hotel while typing this) visiting Beijing and ordered some documents via international post , which got delayed because of the New Year holidays, so I had to prolong my stay in the hotel several times… The hotel’s location and window obviously being praised a lot here on the website by other guests, I myself would like to add that the best part of the hotel is the hosts. The girls working there are SOOO helpful and caring it feels like a 5 star service. They do not speak English but not a single time had that become a hindrance. You can trust your life with them lol.  Now, the room itself is more like a studio than a hotel room, it has a tv, kitchen area, washing machine , a lot of cabinets and a giant wardrobe , the space itself is huge . This fancy SOHO area 5 minutes walking distance from the hotel entrance if that’s your thing. And yes, it is illuminated and glows to your window with the surrounding skyscrapers. I recommend this hotel 100%.  Apart from the hotel , please read a lot about Beijing and China as a whole before coming here. It’s a different planet trust me on that haha

Pros: - View is great from the room.(Picture is from night+day time) - There are a few big supermarkets and Futong metro station nearby. - for the price the room was spacious, with a kitchen. - Somewhat close to airport - Room base temperature is hot in the winter Cons: - Far from center (1h+ to get there) - As a tourist, nothing really there to see, so you are kinda forced to use the metro every day Conclusion: Great for the price, if you don't want to stay in a hole, but has to compensate a bit with the extra travel time.

Great location to pop in for the weekend with a great view of the city lights at night. My stay was mainly for business so I was in and out of the room but the set up was worth the price. Definitely will be back to stay again.
