XinHai JinJiang Hotel Wangfujing - Beijing

This is an under-rated hotel. Besides being a little old, this hotel, XinHai JinJiang Hotel Wangfujing, should be rated as a 5-stars hotel. In particular, the service is excellent - six stars. From doorman, front desk, concierge, to room service, every staff members are very friendly and courteous. Whenever we have a question, the staff will go all […] the way to help resolve the questions we raised until we get a full and satisfactory answer. The location is excellent, in Wangfujing area. The facilities of the hotel is better than some of the 5-stars hotel. The price is good. Definitely it will be our first choice if we ever go to Beijing again. Most highly recommended. Read more

Good for maybe an overnight stay. Beds extremely hard. Not a good hotel for tourists

The hotel was in a great neighborhood and had a lovely lobby. Not everyone at the front desk spoke English, but they all tried and were very accommodating. The staff in the lobby always greated us in a very friendly manner, and we were always happy to see them after our hectic days. The tour office was good if you were lucky enough to get the girl who […] spoke English. They set us up with an excellent tour guide who helped make our Beijing experience excellent. The hotel had 2 restaurants and a cafe. The western restaurant was pretty expensive. It had a huge breakfast buffet which we enjoyed once before deciding to find cheaper options. We were unsatisfied with the lunch. The other restaurant was pretty good. Overall the beauty and location of the hotel along with the friendliness of the staff are the reasons I would go back again.

The hotel was excellent and the staff friendly and helpful but we thought Wangfujing was a street and in fact it is a district so we were not as close to Tien an Men and Forbidden city as we would have liked.

The staff has no concept of the hospitality service business. They are rude and clueless (a bad combination). They are actually so bad, it's like being in a SNL skit. Whenever I asked to speak to the manager I was told there was no manager on duty (over the course of a 3 night stay) The Concierge is a joke-he "knows nothing about nothing"

The hotel is very fancy on the outside, but the actual rooms are standard quality. We received a room with two single beds, and the beds were extra-firm -- which was fine by us, but may be an issue for those preferring softer beds. The bathroom was clean, but warning -- the shower is an Asian-styled shower, where the shower head should not be turned […] on full-blast, or else water may leak all over the bathroom. Instead, the shower head should be used more like a hand-held spray. Read more

Hotel was nice. The people at the pool seemed a little too eager to help you and it kind of felt like the hoovered at times. The hotel is a little farther from Tian'an Men Square and The Forbidden City than I anticipated but a quick 5minute walk to the subway station fixed that. Overall i was very satisfied with this hotel.

Genuine Expedia guest review

Staff speaks English, but with heavy accents. It took several attempts to ensure I understood what they were trying to communicate to me and vice versa. This hotel is close to Wangfujing, Tiananmen and a few subway stops, but I wouldn't say any of these are within walking distance for most Americans unless you live an active lifestyle. There are bikes […] for rent at this place that only cost you the deposit, thus making your "rental" free as long as you reasonably take care of the bike. Warning about these bikes: they aren't your super expensive Fuji mountain bike, they're the cheap, "just get me from Point A to B" kind of bikes. These are certainly great for short excursions. Beijing is a very bike-friendly city as long as you don't mind riding with traffic or with the heavy smog. There are bikes everywhere and the city is, for the most part, very flat. The water from the shower cut off after a few minutes for me. I've since come to understand that water ration limits were imposed during my stay. My showers were only about 5-10 minutes long. There is a tour desk for those who want to visit places like the Great Wall and Ming Tombs. The Great Wall tour was reasonably priced and lasted about 10 hours, with various stops along the way. Again, the guide was knowledgable, but hard to understand at times. Overall, I was generally pleased with the hotel, but didn't spend much time there because I was out and about most of the time.

This was my second trip to Beijing and I have to say this hotel was great. It is a good hotel for those who have small kids like I do. The staff was very helpful and spoke enough English to accommodate all our needs. It is conveniently located in walking distance from the some of the major streets in the area. The price also was excellent for this hotel. […] It's a must if you want good quality hotel at a nice price! Read more

FINE EXPERIENCE,,,,,,HAVE BEEN TO CHINA MANY TIMES, ALWAYS STAYING AT DIFFERENT HOTELS, THIS WAS ONE OF THE BEST.

Genuine Expedia guest review

I stayed here twice on separate occasions and had a wonderful experience both times. It's a new property, so everything runs smoothly. I tried the Capital Hotel and checked out after one night...doesn't even come close. The breakfast buffet is exceptional(both Western and Eastern fare with two chefs). The staff is courteous and helpful. The street would […] be comparable to a high-end type area like Rodeo Drive (I'm from LA) but not stuffy at all. It's a 15 min walk to Wangfujing shopping district and close enough to many of the main attractions. It was great heading down to steam room after a long day of sightseeing. The lobby lounge is great for people watching, too. Read more

I don't know if it's just this hotel or all Beijing hotels that do not switch on room airconditioning until April. It's stuffy and hot and the room window is small. Totally uncomfortable. Street noise also prevents a good night's sleep.

Genuine Expedia guest review

Only one spot in the lobby where you can get wi-fi. And still very slow. I stood at that spot every night to check on my e-mails. Even though they have provided a cable connection in you room, but I think a good Wi-Fi is a minimum nowadays in any hotel.

This Chinese-owned hotel is a great alternative to staying at overpriced Western hotels. Great service, nice amenities and large rooms. Conveniently located two blocks from the subway and taxis are readily available. For non-Mandarin speakers, the staff does a fairly good job with English as long as you have a bit of patience. Even the bellmen, could […] speak with us and convey info to the cab drivers. Two items of caution. The carpets can seem a bit tracked up, but I did see the cleaning staff vacuuming. Also, the beds are very hard which didn't bother us as we have a firm bed at home. These two issues seem to be commonly mentioned with Beijing hotels. The bathrooms are very clean. Read more

There is not bowling and billiard. At the hotel web, this exists. Very unpleasant reception staff. Even you pay 100% in advance; they will ask you for 1000RMB per day of staying for deposit.

Hotel is located at the end of a VERY fancy street (Rolls Royce, Lamborghini, Channel etc) are located here. Hotel is an easy two block walk to the subway, and being that it was at the end of this street it was way more affordable than some of the others. We choose to stay here rather than pay the premium for a western brand - and it was a good choice. […] Nothing more I could have expected from any other hotel. Rooms/lobby are impeccably maintained (hallway carpets were a bit worn I'd noticed but by the end of the week they left a notice apologizing for any inconvenience and that that they were replacing the carpets floor by floor!) Room was a very nice size with a very new looking bathroom. Room also had its own thermostat - excellent since I was there in the middle of the coldest week I had my room at 25C when i got home! While we certainly could have spent less, it was well worth it to come back to a room we felt very comfortable in. Our room (not sure that all do - I believe they mentioned we'd been upgraded to the executive floor) had a desk with a computer and a usb plug that we used on our laptop for internet. Only one note - there was one woman at the front desk who helped is book a tour to one of the sites - helpful we thought until we realized it was kind of an under the table deal. That was fine, but when we went to the concierge to book something else she came running over and tried to have us book through her again, and not with the regular booking staff. Nothing bad, just a bit odd - and of course if I'd realized we were booking something under the table with her I'd have negotiated for a better price!! This hotel may be targeting businessmen (locals more than internationals) so the prices of the restaurants are quite steep. We opted to go outside and get a crepe from the street rather than pay for breakfast. It looked nice, but perhaps too nice for just a morning nourishment. We definitely recommend this hotel - in fact some friends of ours who are Read more

I stayed at the hotel on a trip to Beijing with my wife and 2 small children. It was pretty hard to fault the hotel. They were pretty amazing and the price we paid was very reasonable. When I travel with work I usually stay at the more well known hotels like the Hilton but if you don't feel like paying those sort of rates then this is definitely on […] par especially when you factor in the value for money.

This hotel was awesome and everything I expected. The breakfast brunch was really good, but priced like you were in the US. We paid a really low price in my opinion for the level of accommodation we experienced. Im not sure what the normal rate is, but in the US this hotel would be comparable to a Hilton or Hyatt. The pool was being remodeled while […] we were there which may explain the cheaper prices?? The hotel itself is about a 1 mile walk from the city center at the most which was not bad at all. Not a lot going on in the area surrounding the hotel, but it felt safe at all times. The girls at the front desk helped us out by writing directions down for us in Chinese to show the cab drivers which was a huge help. Words of advice: -if you book a tour through the hotel make sure you shop around first. We found a tour for the Great wall at less than 50% of the price the hotel charges and the hotel matched the price without flinching. Most of the tour companies pick up at all of the hotels so don't be fooled into paying the hotel high commissions..... -Avoid the over priced Irish Pub about half a block down from the hotel. Molly Malone's Irish Pub = Biggest Rip off in China!!!!!!!! You order one beer and they try and bring you the largest most over priced beer in the house. Still livid about that place!!!!!! OH Yeah,,,,,The beds in this hotel are the hardest beds I have ever slept on, but I actually kind of liked it by the end of the trip. Read more

Both the air conditioner and the TV are not working. I have to open the window all day and all night and have to get some one to turn on the TV every time I used during my stay. The location is very good, near the center of the city.

The hotel appears old but looks recently renovated. Its luxury style with marble and mahogany interior gives a feeling of old luxury hotels for westeners on the soviet era. The room was stylish and comfortable but the cleaning was not always top notch. Carpets in hallways were in need of cleaning. In overall the cleanliness was however quite satisfactory. […] The rooms were very large to European standards. The TV had over 60 channels but only one with English language. Plenty of restaurants nearby for dinner or lunch. Everything at the hotel is quite expensive, had a cup of coffee and a couple of drinks at the lobby bar and the bill was - wow! The staff is very very friendly but speak very limited English. Be patient, speak slowly and use simple basic words and you will be understood. We were very satisfied in overall, the only major issue was badly working air conditioning. We complained about it a couple of times but I guess they could not do anything about it. Read more

An otherwise good hotel, but limited English of the hotel staff made communication very difficult and time-consuming. My spouse had to draw a towel to describe what we needed in our room though once they understood the sketch on the paper, they delivered the towels to our room.

Stayed at Xinhai as I looked for a permanent place. It is in a great location for some tourist sites - tian an men, wang fu jing, hutongs, etc. And the subway isn't too much of a hike away. The staff was especially friendly and professional. rooms were very, very clean, though the hallways showed some signs of age. The swimming pool wasn't what I […] expected. I was asked if I had a bathing suit when I walked in - I was wearing one from land's end, and it wasn't the usual fitted kind popular in asia and europe. The pool wasn't used for casual swimming - everyone was doing heavy duty laps, so i didn't find it relaxing. The "massage" pool was a luke-warm spa. But, all in all it is a great place, really.

The hotel seems to cater primarily to the Asian population. This is good, if you don't mind that few people know enough English to even help you get a cab to a particular destination. Very limited concierge services for English speaking clients....in fact, sent us to a different hotel when we required assistance. The hotel asked for a 500$ CAD deposit […] upon arrival, which I am not used to, especially as we had paid for the hotel prior to arrival. Expect to spend considerable time checking out in order to get this money back! Breakfast costs about 23$ CAD per person (66$ for the 3 of us) ...which was/is alarming, but when we checked with other hotels in the area...this was actually a very good price!! Unfortunately the room does not have a fridge so you don't have a lot of choice for breakfast, unless you want to hunt down a restaurant for breakfast outside the hotel. To add to the irritation of price was the breakfast hostess who had a bit of an attitude issue, like she thought everyone was trying to cheat her out of payment...which was not all that ingratiating. Laundry cost us 216$ CAD for three people and 5 days of clothing! The hotel is in a great location, walking distance to Wangfujing street, plus many restaurants and shopping, and a short cab ride to Tiannamen Sq, Forbidden city etc. The area has changed incredibly in the past 6 years, however...now looks more like an obscene New York Times Square than China.
