Sunworld Hotel Beijing

This is a business-class hotel in the most convenient location imaginable! Its 2-3 blocks from a metro station, but cabs are so cheap it is very easy to get anywhere you want to go right from the hotel - the hotel staff is very helpful at writing out your destination in chinese for the drivers who do not speak english. Food at the hotel is not worth the money - its not expensive, but there are great restaurants, and the night market right down the street for more authentic meals. The hotel will also arrange for a private sedan to the great wall. For eight hours, door to door service, it was only a little over 100 USD. If you don't want a tour guide and do the wall and the ming tombs at your own pace it is totally worth the money and just a little more expensive than an official tour (for two people). Two things to note - the beds are hard, but all beds an Beijing are hard. Also, there is free internet in the room (not wi-fi).

Everything was fine. Staff is friendly. Location is perfect. Bed is Ok, not very soft but comfortable. There was just one problem: we stayed there for 7 nights and bed sheets were changed just once.

Location is good, near to Wangfujing shopping area. The concierge staffs especially are very helpful & attentive. Recomended to stay.

We enjoyed the hotel very much. First the criticisms: the breakfast buffet was overpriced - 115 RMB, and our room seemed a little small. However, since everything worked well (plumbing, A/C, TV, elevators, etc.), for the price [...]got us, it was a fantastic value. It's also in an excellent location, right downtown where the action is. A perfect location - we will go back there next time.

The 24 hour room service is great for a business traveler like me who works throughout the evening. The location is great because of all the dining options outside of the hotel. Very clean and quite a bargain. One of the shower doors was missing and replaced with a curtain which didn't do that great of a job keeping the water out of the main bathroom area.

It was a short stay, but overall pretty good.

Hotel was good, but taxi drivers dont know sunworld hotel. what they know is the chinese name w/c is tianlun songhe hotel. That's why i had a difficult time finding a taxi who'l get me there

No airconditioning which made it uncomfortable at times, especially at night. Good food, good price for dining but very slow service, language still a problem, as well.

Location of this 4 stars hotel is good but Taxi drivers do not know the place well. The older Sunworld Hotel which is 5 stars is beside it. Try the public bus services which is only 1 yuan all the way. Cheap way to see Beijing too.

Clean, great location. English-speaking ability was more limited than I expected, but not enough to be a major barrier (be sure to come equipped with necessary paperwork - written English was proficient). Hotel restaurant food was VERY expensive and concierge is not extremely helpful in finding other restaurants...be prepared to explore unless you don't mind the expense. Business center is also expensive to use (pay for internet and pay over $1 USD per page printed). Also, the comfort of the beds would present a major drawback for someone with back problems.
