HARMONY HOTEL BEIJING - Beijing

Pros: Location is 2-3 min walk from beijing railway station subway/metro and train station. 10-15 min walk from airport shuttle bus dropoff/pickup (at beijing international--ticket house on the west side). 2 metro stops to Silk Street, Sanlitun, Pearl Market, Heaven's Temple, Forbidden city. So great location. Several small supermarkets around and noodle […] shops, mcd's, kfc, whatever. Hot water in shower and good pressure. Safe neighborhood. No condoms or other stuff in the room, no girls knocking on the door at night asking if we need a massage. Curtains to fully darken room. Cons: towels clean but look like they have been used for at least 5-10 years. Carpet clean, but really old, too. Staff speak some limited English but hardly any. Beds are typical chinese hardboard. No water bottles in room. No snackbar. Not sure if fridge works, but there was one. First little street you come to is Youtong, so turn right. 1.5 blocks and harmony hotel on your left. 2-3 min without luggage. We will definitely stay again if we don't have money for a nice hotel. Perfect as a base for touring on a budget. I do a lot of staying in China in budget hotels and this was just what I expected. An inexpensive sleep spot next to all the good sights. We use the hotel to sleep in, but that is about it. Subway is literally around the corner. To get there from train station, go straight out from train station across the large street that runs parallel with the station. Once on the other side of the street (next to northwest subway entrance) head left/west. Read more

Genuine Expedia guest review

Nice, but I would recommend looking for a cheaper hostel or paying a little extra for an even better hotel. This is an ok hotel and the location is great (right next to the Beijing Railroad/Metro Station), but I found the quality of the room comparative to that of a hostel.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

We had an excellent stay at the Harmony Hotel. It was very close to the Railway Station which gave us an excellent subway stop. The hotel was clean, efficient, and gave us extra blankets and towels when we needed them. It was about a mile walk to major sites, like the Forbidden City and main shopping streets - easy to get to. Beds are hard, but that […] is typical of China, and we expected it. English was spoken and help was given for sight-seeing. Read more

The hotel is a little bit old, but it definitely meets our requirement. It is located in a pretty good location, and most taxi drivers know this place as long as you tell them you are going to "YouTong Jie" near the Beijing railway station. But if you took a shuttle bus from the airport to the hotel, it's a bit of difficult to find after you get off […] of the bus. The hotel itself is very quite, even though the surrounding neighborhood is kinda noisy. Read more

Would I recommend this hotel for $40 a night- yes. Would I pay more than $40 again, NO. The location was great. Right next to the Beijing Railway Station (2 min walk from the Subway Line 2, 5 min walk from Subway Line 1- two most important lines for foreign travelers). Since it is next to a train station, the neighborhood is a bit shoddy, although 5 […] min walk from it, you are surrounded by very nice hotels and top retail stores. 20-30 min walk to Tiananmen Square (but take the subway unless you really want to walk), and about 5 min walk from Ming Wall Relic Park (not a major tourist spot, but I liked this park a lot). I took the Airport Shuttle (bus 3) and was dropped off 3 min walk from the hotel. I could not find where to board the shuttle back to the airport, so I took the subway (super convenient, and took about 40 min total from the hotel- do not waste money on cab and worry about getting stuck in traffic- take the subway). Staff at the hotel spoke English fine, even for check in at midnight on Sunday. Room was a bit dark. Carpet was disgusting. Bed was rock hard (expect this everywhere unless you are staying at a 5 star hotel). Bathroom was clean enough but the shower was small (it was okay). Water pressure sucked. There was some sewage smell which I eliminated by covering up the sewage pipes in the bathroom with wet towels. A small fridge with some water, soft drinks and beer (they were 5 RMB, which is very reasonable since a can at a grocery would be 2-3 RMB). A safe inside the closet. Paint on the ceiling was pealing a bit. I was traveling alone, so I did not mind the room being a bit dirty too much. Bed was made everyday, and the sheet and towels looked and smelled clean. Honestly, if they steam cleaned the carpet once in awhile and did something about the sewage smell in the bathroom, I would have loved this hotel. There is a restaurant in the hotel, but I did not eat there. I ran into a couple from Europe and they said the food wasn't that bad. Hotel is s Read more

I was happy with my room. It was spacious, and the bed was comfortable. There was only one English channel so when the advertisement says Satellite TV don't expect much. The bathroom was good with lots of room. There was a big closet. Breakfast options were good. An assortment of Chinese fare. Didn't try for breakfast or lunch. Don't try to catch a […] taxi in this area. I tried and they just drive by or they will haggle for an outrageous fee. Get the hotel to flag down one for you. They have a bell boy at the door who will flag one down. The hotel is really central and it's a good base for branching out into the rest of the city. Not much to look at in the immediate area, but near is the Oriental Plaza (loads of shopping and a Subway Sandwich, which wasn't bad). Lots of shopping in the area near Oriental Plaza, all pretty high end and pricey. Access to Tiananmen and Forbidden City (Palace Museum) is an easy 20-30 minute walk. The only thing I was unsatisfied about was the lack of hot beverage options. Only Jasmine tea, which I don't like. Fortunatly, there are two big convenience stores across the street that offer various hot beverage options. Read more

Very close to train station easy to ride the subway to most places. Reception friendly and willing to help even thow not perfect in the English language.

This is not a fancy hotel but I would stay there again. It's a 1-2 minute walk from the subway station. There are fast food places around the corner (McDonalds and Yoshinoya) and more a couple of blocks away (Pizza Hut and KFC). The room had air conditioning, a TV (one CCTV english channel and numerous Mandarin channels) and a mini-bar. The only improvement […] would be the bed - hard mattress. But, I had read that already so it was not a surprise. I would stay there again. Read more

the ratimngs i have given for this hotel are based on its value. It needs a complete refurbishment but the rooms were clean just very tired and in need of a do up. However if you are looking for a no frills hotel in an excellent loaction then this is great. The towels were changed daily and although they had lost their crisp whiteness theye were still […] clean and replensihed daily. We stayed in March 2012 and it was freezing outside but the heating in the room was great.The shower worked well, good pressure and no shortages of hot water, Easy to find and taxi drivers too can find it because of its proximity to Beijing railway station. They have a few tourist spots written on their business card and directions to the hotel for taxi drivers, all making a stay in Beijing that much more manageable. The subway is maybe a 4 minute walk, there are lots of eating places almost outside the door and several small stores across the road for basic supplies.Its not a 5 star property but the price reflects that.If cleanliness is all you are after in a good location and clean sheets then I recommend the Harmony Hotel.But be prepared to see the need for a refurbishment.

IT WASN'T MY FIRST TIME STAY IN THIS HOTEL. STAFF IS VERY HELPFUL, BUT LACK OF ENGLISH VERY FEELABLE. ROOMS ARE BIG. WHITE TOWELS ARE GRAY COLOR BUT CLEAN.

The decor and interior are a tad dated and there are signs of wear and tear. But service is courteous and very professional. Housekeeping even sent up items I requested at around 1.30am! The room is very spacious for a single room and I was pleasantly surprised. Location is fantastic - 5 minutes walk from Beijing Train Station subway station (Line 2) […] and 10 minutes walk from Dongdan subway station (Line 1). There are lots of local eateries and convenience shops littered around the area. True, if you have a language barrier, all these may not turn up useful but if you do not, then it's very convenient to find local food (buns, noodles, Chinese styled pancakes etc) to eat. Fret not though, for alternative choices, McDonald is just 5 minutes away near the Beijing Train Station. Read more

Stayed here for 9 nights in October 2010. Very close to the train station. You can catch a bus from Beijing Capital Airport for 16 yuan. Beds were very hard (Apparently the Chinese like hard beds, most hotels have pretty hard beds). The room quality was like the average motel. Really the only thing this hotel has going for it is its proximity to Tiananmen […] Sq, Oriental Plaza, Train Station and it's absurdly cheap minibar (the cheapest of all the hotels i stayed at, everything was 5 yuan).

ツインの禁煙の部屋の希望で予約して、当日行ってみると、対応した部屋でした。お風呂のお湯が出なかったのですが、すぐに部屋をかえてくれました。ただ、端っこの部屋だったのでWiFiの電波が悪かったですが・・・他は特に問題はないです。ちなみにデポジットは取られませんでした！ ４泊したのですが、毎日清掃してくれたし、そんなに宿泊客も多いわけでもなく、北京駅から徒歩５分以内なので、タクシーでも地下鉄でも行きやすい場所でした！ 近くにコンビニと飲食店はありましたよ！なんせ北京駅に近いので、その辺は困らないでしょう。 行って知ったのですが、天安門や王府井の周りはタクシーが止まれないエリアなので、その辺りのホテルにすると逆に不便かもしれません。（夜とか寒くて、地下鉄なんて乗ってられませんでした） 空港へのタク […] シーもあらかじめ言っておけば、早朝でも手配してくれました。 安心できるホテルでした＾＾ Read more

ハーモニーホテル北京に３泊しました。 チェックイン当日は飛行機の関係で夜中２時になりましたが、フロントが２４時間体制だったため、スムーズに部屋に入ることができました。 地下鉄の駅や、空港間のバス停からも近く、王府井も頑張れば徒歩圏内にあり、とても便利です。 部屋やベッド、アメニティ、リネン類も室料の値段の割には満足です。 ただ、シャワーの排水溝がつまりやすく、すぐに水が溢れてしまうため、使用中何度も水を止めなくてはならなかったのが残念です。シャワーの出やお湯の温度、トイレの流れやシンクは全く問題ありませんでした。 多くの方が評価されているホテルだけあって、とても満足したホテルです。

3泊しました。 良い点 地下鉄北京站に近いので、どこに行くにも便利。 安食堂や24時間便利店も近くに多い。 部屋は明るくきれい。 冷蔵庫がついている。 悪い点 夜シャワーのお湯が出にくかったり、最悪出ないこともあった。 冷蔵庫が恐ろしく冷えるようで、瓶ビールが破裂してしまった。 まとめ また泊まるかといったらYESです。 値段の割にはしっかりしたホテルで、 従業員も英語を理解し 気持ちのいい対応をしてくれました。

設備は日本のビジネスホテル様な感じで、寝泊まりするためのホテル。ホテルを楽しむという雰囲気ではないが、機能的で使い勝手は良い。 ドライヤーはやはり部屋にはなかったのでフロントに言うとすぐに持ってきてくれた。 立地は北京駅からすぐ近くでまわりにファーストフードも多く便利。空港からのリムジンバス(北京駅行き）は国際飯店止まりたったので、(夜便で到着したこともあり）少々焦ったが、それでも十分歩ける距離。

장점 : 호텔은 가격대비 깨끗했고 교통이 좋습니다. 왕푸징, 천안문, 첸문, 공항등으로 이동이 편리합니다. 공항버스타고 종점인 북경역에서 내리면 됩니다. 북경역 정문을 바라보고 오른쪽(천안문 방향으로 한블럭 건너편에 있습니다). 모르면 주소, 호텔이름을 프린트해서 역 주변의 경찰들에게 물어보면 대답해줍니다. 단점 : 북경역 근처라서 주위환경이 조금 우울합니다. 서울역 근처를 상상하면 비슷할 거 같습니다. 그리고 투숙했을 때 의외로 서양인들이 많았습니다. 대부분이 서양인이었습니다. 이건 장점인가.... 근데 북경 자체가 너무 우울해요........

実際に行ってみたら、地下鉄北京駅から徒歩数分。空港から快速３０分、東直門で乗り換えて、1時間はかからず正確に27元でたどり着けます。そのまま、裏側へ歩いて行けば、王府井まで徒歩可です。豪華なホテルではありませんので、行動重視でお考えの方にはお値段も駅近なのに安く、ベストかと思います。以前宣武門わきのホテルを使っていましたが、値段が上がったし、こちらは次回からも利用したいです。
