the hotel is very centrally located, the room was really very good. Comfortable bed, nice bathroom, all clean and quiet at night.Just the breakfast is not the best. Mainly chinese food, only salted butter, no unsalted, no toast, only 2 sorts of fresh fruit, (watermelon and grapes), the eggs were only half warm, the coffee machine does not make cappucino or other coffee/milk mix.

Our stay was fantastic! It was my wife’s birthday, and the staff went above and beyond preparing a complimentary cake and decorating the room, which made the celebration extra special. While the hotel is older, it was well-maintained, clean, and fully functional. The gym was also decent for a hotel facility. Thank you for the wonderful service. We truly appreciated the thoughtful touches!

I would like to provide a review of the Avic 4-star hotel in Beijing. Despite its 4-star rating, I must express my disappointment with the overall experience at this establishment. Firstly, it is worth mentioning that the pool was closed for repairs during my stay. Surprisingly, there was no prior indication of this on the hotel's booking page. This lack of transparency was quite disappointing. Secondly, although the staff members were able to communicate in English, there were frequent instances of miscommunication. For instance, I was stopped by the hotel security after stepping outside for a cigarette on my way back to my room. This incident could have been avoided with clearer instructions or signage. On a positive note, the Chinese restaurant at the hotel exceeded expectations. The food, service, and quality were all top-notch. However, it is regrettable that the staff did not inform me about the availability or timing of the western buffet. This lack of information was a missed opportunity. While the staff members were generally polite, there were issues with the hotel's Wi-Fi, rendering it unusable for both my girlfriend and me. This inconvenience was quite frustrating. Regarding the room itself, it was satisfactory, but I must mention the presence of a cheap, outdated TV. This outdated technology did not meet the standards one would expect from a 4-star hotel. In conclusion, based on my experience, I would not choose to stay at the Avic 4-star hotel again. It simply does not meet the standards that one would expect from a hotel with a 4-star rating.

Hotel is next to my office which is super convenient. Apparently it just got refurbished last month so although the lobby only looks like a 4 start hotel, the room is 4.5 stars at least. Room is slightly small but cosy. Bathroom concept is modern with glass looking out. Room has a window that opens and although my room can see the expressway, I can't hear the traffic with the window closed. Breakfast is fairly chinese style but enough for me. Do bear in mind that the room rate has increased after the renovation. Area around hotel has lots of eateries so quite convenient. Staff struggled with English and I spare them by indicating I understand Chinese. Staff were pretty curt when I did the checkout, she asked if I wanted the "fa piao" - official receipt in China and I said no but all she pass me after was my credit card statement and I told her I need the itemized invoice/receipt or else I can't claim from my company and she snapped and say "didn't you say you didn't want the fa piao?". Hello...even if I changed my mind, I am the guest!

Pros: Price, location, cleanliness, breakfast. Cons: No buffet restaurant for dinner. This is a great hotel close to business district in Beijing. Very clean with modern furniture and amenities. The lobby is not huge (common in other hotels), but who needs a big lobby anyways? The staff on front desk speak English and will help you finding taxis and other information you need. Be aware that upon check-in you need a credit card and a deposit of 1000Yean per night will be charged. - Rooms: The rooms are modern and the carpet makes a crackling noise when you walk on it. It is not dirty! It is just the lining they used under the carpet, believe me. The gym has one treadmill, a bicycle, and many simple weight lifting equipment. Go to 4th floor, walk through Salon and ask at the mini reception desk about the gym and they will take you there. WIFI is decent if comparing with other hotels (remember it is not North America). Forget about Facebook and Google, no go. The Evian water bottle for 45Yuan is outrageous, don’t drink it! Behind the hotel there is a coffee shop called Costa that has water for 20 or across the street in small shops for 4 Yuen!!!!! - Restaurant: The breakfast buffet is good enough with small salad bar, bacon, toast, coffee, tea and Chinese food (great value for included breakfast with stay). The same restaurant becomes “a la carte” restaurant for lunch and dinner with a lot of North American options, like pizzas, pasta, steak, salad, soups, and great red wine. - Location: There are many malls within 10-15 minute walk, north-west of the hotel, where you can find Starbucks, Subway, KFC, Burger King and others. Just across the main road there is a gallery of small shops that has a Starbucks and fast food chain called ZKungFu. Food is cheap anywhere! There are two tiny produce shops with good fruit and cheap water bottles. If you like walking or want to go for a run (like me) you can go west for 6km and visit Forbidden City. If you go south for 7.5km Temple of Heaven. North West there is Temple of Sun which is a beautiful small park, just 2.5km away (25 min walk). West of it is what I call “little Russia” with lots of Russian shops and malls for 2-3 blocks. Dongyue close by temple is awesome! Very peaceful with no crowds and relics from around 1200AD. - Tips: 1-Be careful when crossing the street, cars and electric bicycles have the right of way, always. green/red men light does not apply. 2-This is China, no one is required to speak English, always be polite and say Nihao and Chie-chie and people will always smile back. 3-When you check in, your room card comes in a little envelope that has the hotel address and little map on it. Keep this envelope! Wherever you go, bring it with you and if you hop into any cab, just give the paper to the driver and he will find his way to the hotel. 4- People smoke everywhere! So, ask for Non-smoking room and in restaurants try to sit in non-smoking areas. Happy Travel

I stayed 3 nights and it was about $400 all together. They provide a decent breakfast, no complaints. I tried using the pool twice but the first time i apparently didnt have compression shorts so they wouldnt let me in. The second time was on saturday and apparently the pool isnt open on the weekend? Lastly this hotel has good location for getting on the subway because traffic in Beijing has to be the worst in the world! OH! they have the butt sprayer on the toilet too!! First time using one of those

This hotel has got Hebei written all over it. It knows more about catching chickens than it does foreign customers. Tacky gold mirrors and smoke stank everywhere! The rooms are actually pretty good, but the hotel controls the A/C and it was about 32 degrees in my room all night - not good when you wake up at 4am with the Baijiu sweats. The breakfast had baked beans next to noodles and dumplings with a few streaks of anaemic bacon on the fringes. Wifi is not given at check-in, you have to call down to get a password and even then its made to feel like a privilege. this hotel could actually be good, the rooms are very nice. The rest is lacking class.
