the location of the hotel is excellent ! just cross the hotel main lobby driveway and there is the underpass to the L2 and L5 station - a short walk.. Use the same underpass to get across to the opposite side of the road where you will find many local eateries and a huge shopping mall - New WORLD shopping... more

Superior room in the third floor of Building B with a king sized bed. Room was of average size, not large but not so small that you couldn't move around. The room looked to have been recently renovated. It sported an LCD TV with a decent selection of English language channels (CNN, BBC, Discovery, HBO, Channel News Asia, etc.) and... more

Excellent Novotel in great location. Stayed for 7 nights in Oct. Was in premier floor in the new wing and it meant great room with excellent amneties: free bf and internet, as well as free 2 laundry items per day and use of lounge and meeting rooms. Locaton is right in the city center with a metro stop just outside... more

I've stayed in a few 4-star hotels in Beijing and have found Novotel Xinqiao to be among the best. However, THIS STATEMENT ONLY APPLIES TO ROOMS IN THE NEW WING (if I remember correctly, the new wing is known as the A wing, while the old wing is the B wing). The rooms in the new wing are slightly larger,... more

A typical Novotel with very clean rooms of a high standard. The food though was exceptionally good with a vast choice (buffet style) for both dinner and breakfast. No one could fault a single dish. Price also included wine and beer with the meal. Just across the road from a main shopping area with western style (and price) department stores,... more

We had a lovely stay at the hotel, didn't have to wait for check-in or check out and to our surprise they upgraded us to a superior room. The room was very clean and modern. You must remember it's only a four star hotel, so don't expect a 5 - 6 star decor. We have no complains whatsoever with the... more

Stayed 3 nights. Fantastic location. Easy to take the Airport Subway Express (25 yuan) to the connection for Subway line #2 (2 yuan), then 5 stops to the corner directly in front of the hotel. So for 27 yuans (about $4 USD) you can get from the airport to the hotel. Fast, easy & inexpensive. Both Subway lines #2 &... more

I am not especially picky, but found this hotel to be disappointing on many levels: - most pictures and the hotel's front exterior conceal what is essentially an old and run-down building. - the location is not bad per se (perfectly safe) but is rather girtty and boring and not within true walking distance of any noteworthy sights. - the... more

Prepaid and got a nice deal via Expedia with written request to have a room adjacent or near one female family member who was traveling alone.. Upon arrival, the 'check-in' staff informed us that they had given us a "free upgrade". However, once in the room, we realized that the "free upgrade" had a tiny bathroom with no tub and... more
