The East Hotel The Forbidden City Beijing

“Great position for walking to restaurants. Beautiful part of the old city”

The location is perfect for strolling around the old city, with plenty of restaurants and high‑quality silver shops nearby, plus a craftsman who can personalize bottles. Unfortunately, our first room had a strong ammonia‑like, moldy smell in the bathroom due to poor drainage, and even after asking for a bleach clean nothing improved, forcing us to keep the bathroom door shut. By the third night they finally moved us to a different room, which was a relief.

“Great location, friendly staff”

The staff were surprisingly warm and went out of their way to help despite the language gap, and the hotel sits in a prime spot. However, the bedroom – especially the bathroom – felt dated and could use a modern upgrade.

Spotless rooms and a spot right in the heart of Beijing—no complaints. The place was clean as a whistle and the location made it easy to hop out and explore the city.

“Great value for money when in Beijing”

Great bang for the buck. I had a 20‑hour layover, and this hotel was close enough to the airport that I could hit the city during the day, then crash for a quick nap before heading back. Early check‑in was a lifesaver.

“Great stay, very near the Drum Tower”

We got dropped off at the wrong spot, but Barry, the manager, went out of his way to get us back to the hotel. All in all, no issues.
