M Hotel - Beijing Tiananmen Square Qianmen Subway Station

“Very disappointing”

The pictures promised a high‑end experience, yet the reality was far from it; the price was steep for what we got. It was billed as a family room but we ended up with two beds side by side, and there was not even a single English‑speaking channel. I paid $250 a night for a supposed 5‑star hotel, but it felt more like a 2‑star place. We left feeling cheated.

The room was fantastic with a great view, but the pedestrian entrance made it hard to locate from a taxi.

The location is right next to the subway station, which is convenient, and within walking distance of hundreds of cafes and restaurants, so it was super easy to find food. The hotel sits inside what looks like a mall, and the signs inside say “Zmax” or something similar instead of “Mhotel,” which is confusing. Taxis can’t reach the hotel directly, so you’ll need to walk with your luggage. The room is so tiny that the sink is in the corridor. The common areas smell strongly of cigarette smoke, while the entrance smells like food. The AC is loud, and the bathroom lights randomly turn on at night. There is also no breakfast. Also, there was a problem with VISA, we had to switch to Alipay.

“TRES BIEN SITUÉ MAIS BRUYANT”

Booking didn’t specify that the hotel is on the pedestrian Qianmen Avenue, accessed by passing a police checkpoint, and that no car (including taxis) can approach. On the way, my airport taxi called the hotel to arrange for an employee to meet me in a nearby street. Fortunately, in the 18:00 crowd, with 200 m to walk, I would have gotten lost. To leave the hotel I was also guided to find the taxi waiting outside. I really appreciated the help from this hotel. Thank you. The room (3rd floor) was simple but had excellent bedding. The view at night over the illuminated buildings of Tiananmen Square was beautiful, but if there had been a balcony, the French‑door was blocked and the windows were dirty, which somewhat spoiled the view. The advantage of this hotel is its location: at the start of Qiamen Street, at the foot of the metro (easy to move around), surrounded by shops and restaurants, opposite Tiananmen Square, although a long detour on foot is needed to reach the first police checkpoint for access. It took a technician more than 30 min to connect the wifi in my room on the evening of my arrival, which seemed long after 24 h of travel. The street noise, like the metro entrance/exit, starts early in the morning and ends late at night. At night, hotel guests run and shout in the corridors, and also garbage trucks (?) coming to empty bins at about 3 am make a lot of noise. The hotel does provide earplugs! So you have to choose between an ideal location and a lot of noise. The hotel photo on the site is not realistic; that’s why I noted that the establishment did not meet my expectations.

The location is super central, the room is very comfortable and spacious. The check‑in was a bit slow.
