Jade Garden Hotel

Location of this hotel is definitely A+++ for those going to Forbidden Palace and nearby attractions. It is 20 mins walk to Forbidden palace and 5 mins walk to Wangfujing. We booked this place because it is right in front of Wangfu Century building where me and my hubby rented Chinese costume for 1 day and had Chinese pictorial nearby the Palace. It's also not far from the airport cost us less than 100rmb to get here by taxi. My only take is the carpet needs a little cleaning but everything is good. Not to mention this hotel has a history as it was built long time ago. According to Google "it was built in the 1930s. In 1946, Cuimingzhuang became the residence of the Chinese Communist Party delegation of the Military Mediation Department. In 1995, Cuimingzhuang was listed as a cultural relic protection unit in Beijing." This is the reason why there is always police visibility outside the hotel. I feel very safe walking outside the hotel at 2am looking for food with my hubby. Beijing is very very safe and I will come back again.

The location is great and accessible to most attractions, can walk to Tiananmen square and forbidden City (pre booking required). The facilities are a bit dated but overall good value.

I want to appreciate Paul at the front desk. He is courteous, has excellent English and very helpful in booking taxis for us. He upgraded our room and showed flexibility in addressing our requests.

The location is great and the hotel is easy to find. There is security right outside the hotel. The hotel itself is very dated and some of the services such as gym, bar, foreign exchange etc do not work. The staff at the reception speak good English and most of them are quite friendly.

這次住翠明莊真的超驚喜！位置絕了，就在故宮東華門邊上，步行5分鐘到天安門廣場，去王府井逛街也就十來分鐘，故宮、國博隨便逛都不用趕時間。房間是復古老北京風格，收拾得挺乾淨，連插座都帶USB口，懶人狂喜！
