Another reviewer summed it up quite succinctly - the International Hotel is a nice place to come back to at the end of a day's touring. It's not a hotel to lounge about in if you fancy a romantic hideaway. I'd rate it as a 4 star hotel rather than a 5 star hotel. The restaurants are adequate but don't... more

We stayed here for eight nights. We were on a tour so we don't know the exact room price however if we were booking a hotel we normally wouldn't stay in such an expensive place. It was large and had many facilities. The room we were given was nice and was cleaned every day. The Buffet breakfast was an excellent... more

An unremarkable but more than adequate hotel. Breakfast buffet was quite extensive, facitlites were ok, although the swimming pool was closed while we were there. staff reasonably helpful, rooms pleasant and clean ans comfortable. more

I lived in Beijing, at this hotel, for a total of 39 nights while working the Olympics. The staff was friendly and helpful from the moment I checked in. The rooms are comfortable and clean, and I appreciated the twice-daily housekeeping. The restaurant downstairs had a fabulous breakfast buffet which would please anyone as there were almost too many choices.... more

Staff were extremely unhelpful over arranging for our business requests: things... more

The spacious foyer when you first enter the hotel is glorious. Our room on the 13th floor ( number 13 is not unlucky in China) had a good view down towards Beijing Railway Station which was lit up like a Xmas tree and up and down the main drag. Convenient shopping centres opposite were a plus, together with 'Our Very... more

Of the three hotels I stayed in during our China tour, Beijing International was the best in staff service, comfortable rooms and breakfast buffet. We went through Friendly Planet's Taste of China and it was definitely worth the money. Unfortunately we had a lower floor so there wasn't much of a view but the floor to ceiling windows made the... more

We stayed there for 5 nights but it was disappointing for us. Beijing was our 3rd destination in China after Hangzhou and Shanghai, and obviously, Beijing Int'l hotel could not be compared with 2 other fantastic hotels we stayed at other cities. No advantage could be mentioned about the hotel other than its location. Staff in reception were not friendly... more
