"Small and cute"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on May 5, 2012
A very small place, but comfortable and cute. Staff was extremely helpful. Only a 5-minute walk from Subway. In a nice neighborhood, with lots of interesting activities at night (street vendors, food stalls, etc.). Most tourists will probably never see the poverty-stricken living conditions of people off the alleyways behind the main streets, but it's there if you look for it.
"Nice hotel for the price"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on May 3, 2012
This hotel was very roomy and clean. Close to the Olympic Park. Easy to get to from the Airport. Well located to see many of the tourist spots in Beijing.
"Best location for artists!"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on May 2, 2012
The staff at Sha Tan hotel is exceptional. I had no trouble adjusting my reservations and tours by phone in advance and even received a personal note from the day staff when I arrived late. I didn't have any meals so I can't comment on that, it is difficult for Taxis to find but I usually stay in that area so I anticipated that. If you aren't familiar with the area you might want to request that the hotel send you instructions on how to reach their location from the North end of the Forbidden City in Chinese so the taxi driver can read them. The pillow top mattresses were an amazing change from the usual hotel beds in China, my only complaint about the hotel is that they can't do foreign exchange but the nearby ICBC can take care of that. Along the main road that crosses the North gate of the Forbidden City (walk the opposite direction) you'll find a string of art supply stores, a great art museum and a little shop with fantastic wool and other yarns to bring home for your knitting friends. The small street the hotel is on has a lot of local flavor.
"Comfort in a historical location"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on May 1, 2012
The hotel was beautiful nicely decorated, giving a sense of the "hutongs" but with more comfort. It had an elegant courtyard, and the rooms were very comfortable. It was located down a narrow alley way, but that provided authenticity to the experience since the hutongs are all built off of similar roads.

"HORRIBLE AIR!"
The worst thing about this hotel is the most significant reason NOT to stay there: terrible air! Though we were on a non smoking floor the air in our room almost constantly smelled of cigarette smoke. In retrospect we should have changed hotels once we detected the problem. OR we should have heeded the comments of previous guests who complained of the […] same problem and not reserved there to begin with. We detected cig smell in our first room, which we had to switch due to a different malfunction in the room, but we thought the cig smell was specific to that room. Our 2nd room happened to smell fine when we moved into it, but that was temporary. Especially with the pollution outside in Beijing you EXPECT a top hotel to provide air filtration inside. Not so with the Peninsula. Steer clear if you're not a smoker. Read more

"Disappointed"
Does not live up to the brand - Peninsula. Service not up to par with other Peninsula hotels and hotel is dated. Still 4+, but not 5+ as most Peninsula properties are.
"Good Hotel for Business, very central"
Stayed 9 days for Business. Good room, well maintained. The hotel itself is not as new as other places in Beijing but the condition of everything is excellent. Very good restaurant, quite an Oasis when you get tired of Chinese food. Only issue was undergoing construction in one of the boutiques downstairs, which was bothersome. (Noise, smell). The […] hotel did never mention the inconvenience and mostly pretended it was not happening. It was not too bad, though and they did try to contain the construction site well. Ah, bed was not the greatest I have had... Not bad overall. Read more

"Peninsula Hotel Beijing"
My favorite hotel in Beijng. Close to Forbidden City, Tiananmen Square, Wangfuging shopping street. Excellent service to detail by a staff fluent in English. An example of detail--I left a book on the nighttable and after my room was cleaned they left a bookmark on the book. Not a big deal, but indicative of the attention they pay to your comfort. Great […] place for businessmen as well. Restaurants are expensive, but there is an excellent food court across the street and the Wangfujing food street is a short walk. Read more

"THE PENINSULA HOTEL-BEIJING: WONDERFUL"
We just spent four wonderful days at this hotel. The hotel was gorgeous, the room very comfortable and beautiful and clean. The staff was very friendly and extremely accomodating and helpful. And the surrounding shopping area was very convenient. We spent one day walking to Tiennamen Square and shopping, so this was well appreciated. We will definitely […] stay here again when we return to Beijing. We will also stay in a Peninsula Hotel in the other cities we travel to. And we will highly recommend your hotel to our friends & family for their travel plans. Read more
"Did not meet expectation"
We flew directly from US to Beijing and were exhausted by the time we got there around 4pm. We couldn't check into our hotel room until 6pm. The reason given to us was that the guests stayed in our hotel room checked out really late and the room wasn't ready. They told us to hang out at the bar but didn't offer to pay for anything. Plus, everything […] was over-priced. Breakfast is $50 per person per meal. All the drinks were expensive. Additionally, the air inside the hotel was nasty (more like moldy smell). We got non-smoking room yet we still can smell smoke. The room size was smaller than expected although they are all functional. Overall, we expected more given the cost of the hotel stay and the name it carried around the world. Read more

"Stay at Peninsula Beijing"
A first class hotel,with outstanding service. When I had a problem connecting my computer to the broadband and called the front desk, within five minutes a staff person from the business office came to my room to solve the problem. Only one complaint. The power outlets near the desk were too close together to enable me to charge two devices at the […] same time. Read more

"Difficult to get Taxi from this location."
Peninsula Beijing is not as grant as I hoped. It is no better than a Renaissance or a Hilton. I am not impressed by the lobby or the pool. The ground floor is filled with lux brand stores with few customers. There are only a few chairs available to sit if you don't buy a drink in the lobby area. Theorectically, it is a good location, close to Forbidden […] City and Wangfujing (shopping center). But getting a taxi is difficult because lots of taxi drivers do not like the traffic congestions in the area. Some staff struggle with English, but there are Indian staff on-site during daytime to help. Overall, I will not give a 5 star. I think the hotel will have trouble competing in the future because a Waldoff is being built down the street. Read more
"very good hotel"
Despite the blocked toilet which was solved quickly, every thing was good, specially the service. A book I forgot in the room was forwarded to me very efficiently after my checkout.
This guest did not leave a comment.
The Peninsula is a beautiful hotel and we had a spacious suite, however, we requested a nonsmoking room and even though we were on a non-smoking floor, the HVAC system brought in very strong cigarette fumes -- it was like living in an ashtray -- they did not have a comparable room to move us too, so we had to change hotels. We went to the St Regis, […] which was much better. Read more
"Excellent Hotel"
This is a great place to stay regardless of where you are travelling to. The hotel staff is very helpful and wonderful to deal with. We love staying at the Peninsula and have stayed at some of their other locations in the past. Highly recommend.

"Service is amazing!"
Winter rate is fabulous---includes many complimentary extras. But check your bill---they will put local phone calls on the bill and then refuse to take them off until you show them the Winter rate special includes them. Instructions concerning luggage---being fragile---are not understood. And if you wear slippers to Jade/Jide? for breakfast, they will […] tell you to go change them. Read more

"Peninsula Beijing--Ideal location & great staff"
I knew little of travel in Beijing and spoke no Chinese so the Peninsula was an fantastic choice for my travel. The location close to Tiananmen Square was ideal and the hotel staff spoke impeccable English. Additionally the concierge staff went above and beyond with my every need including booking flights on future travel throughout China. Additionally […] the availability of private tours through the hotel made my trip far more enjoyable than had I booked more traditional group tours. The restaurants in the hotel were also first rate which provided excellent alternatives to dining out after a long day. For travel to Beijing, the Peninsula lived up to its rating and I would definitely stay here again on a return to China. Read more
"Beautiful hotel - great location"
Was very impressed with look of hotel also rooms very great and walking distance to many interesting places
"Simply the Best"
Spent 3 days at this hotel after a business trip and found it to be top notch in every way. Everyone is very professional, service is cordial and make you feel they are sincerly happy you are staying at the Peninsula. A bit pricy but well worth the addtional cost.
"Fabulous"
Service outstanding, room beautiful and comfortable, free internet. I would not spend the extra $45 per person for buffet breakfast -- nothing special. The cantonese restaurant in the hotel, Huang Ting is extraordinary. The dim sum weekend brunch is exquisite and affordable.

"GREAT BEIJING OPTION"
Everything about this restaurant is great. Will gladly return when in Beijing. BTW Huang Ting is a great restaurant.
"Excellent Hotel"
Loved our stay there.
"Good times"
Excellent location and nice 5 star rooms. Enough said.
"Five real stars"
This is a true five star hotel and a proud member of the Peninsula family. Only downside I saw was the slow internet, but that's how it is in China..
"Meet expectations"
The peninsula meets all expectations. There is no better thing you can say about a 5*-hotel, because expectations are set high. Good location, perfect service. (Only thing not perfect: a lot of disturbances by room cleaning girls during the time that we stayed inside our room).

Great central location. Walked to Forbidden City. Luxurious room appointments. Great service. Concierge assisted by phone with communication with driver on directions to restaurant.
"Beautiful hotel, mediocre service"
If this is your first time in Beijing, this could be a good choice. It is close to the Forbidden City and other sights. The service is nowhere near what I have come to expect from 5 star hotels.
"Penisula Hotel Beijing close to all major sights."
We stayed 3 nights at the hotel and enjoyed every minute of our stay. Its very convenient, close to numerous sights, easy to get around. The overall facilities were top notch. The personnel bent backwards to assist us. Here again theyl was very professionnel and made our stay very enjoyable in every fashion. I strongly recommend the Penisula Hotel […] in Beijing and would not hesitate in going back to the same hotel. Read more
