Novotel Beijing Peace

We were happy for everything. They allowed us to check in at around 9am without any charges. The buffet breakfast was amazing with a lot of options. For Muslims, there were halal signs on every dish. It was very close to shopping centres and tourist attractions.

What a bad experience we had. This is our annual family trip so we booked an executive room with a queen bed, hoping everything would be better than what we got. First, the staff service is very slow and acts annoyingly towards us. Second, in my opinion, the breakfast period is too short, from 6:30 to 9:30 a.m. Since we are tourists with kids would like to wake up later. Third, the air conditioning doesn't work, it's too hot, and we cannot breathe. I asked room service to fix it, but they just gave me a portable air conditioner, which still didn't work and was loud. They are already altering the room for me; late night is better. By the way, my kids need to wake up late at night to switch the rooms. Fourth, housekeeping knocked on our door early morning even though we didn't hang "made up my room" for service, and at that time, we were sleeping. What a bad experience this was in my life. I do not recommend it for tourists; find another hotel nearby.

The hotel located at Wangfujing, near attraction places like Temple Of Heaven, Tian’men Square and The Forbidden City and it has easy access to public transport. As for breakfast, there’s a lot to be choose from, and for Muslim guest, there’s some halal selection (you need to look for the halal remark and choose wisely). Staff can communicate in English very well. I will definitely recommend this hotel if you want to stay at Wangfujing area.
