Given the big name hotels available in Beijing I was a little apprehensive with our tour being booked in a hotel without a recognizable name/reputation. My apprehension quickly dissipated after spending three nights at this fabulous hotel. The Grand Metro is situated on a major road feeding into the city center several very long blocks away. It is across the... more

While travelling in Beijing on business, a colleague made reservations for my wife and I at a nearby hotel (Golden Sun). When we arrived, we found this hotel did not have non-smoking rooms. My wife has asthma and could not stay at their hotel, so the desk clerk arranged for us a room at the Grand Metro Park. The desk... more

Stayed at the Metropark the first several nights of a 15 day tour, and it was a fantastic place to start. Very upscale and a grand lobby. Super clean. Actually the only hotel that gave us lotion on the trip... so standard in America, but all the others gave slippers, toothbrush&paste... everything but lotion. The service was great, and everyone... more

a large group of us stayed at the metropark for three nights. we were out sight seeing all day, so the hotel really just served as a bed for the night. the rooms were good, though the beds were a bit low and harder than most americans and europeans would be used to...it was not uncomfortable though. our room faced... more

We have stayed at this hotel twice now and found it to be a wonderful hotel, the rooms and service were excellent. The food was some of the best breakfasts we had while on both trips to China (2006) and this year. They do have a new policy of not cashing traveller checks but because I was aware there was... more

Our first impression of China, and what an IMPRESSION! The hotel lobby is elegant with its huge marble pillars, and beautiful chandeliers. Employees were friendly, pleasant smiles, helpful, and anxious to answer questions. The western breakfast, at this hotel, was fabulous. Eggs cooked to order, pancakes, french toast, bacon, sausage, toast & sweet rolls & other breads, yogurt, fresh fruit,... more

We stayed in this hotel for three nights with a tour group. The hotel had no money to convert currency for the first two days and then once they had currency they refused to cash travelers Checks even though their own in room information portfolio said they did so. The people at the front desk were rude and indiffirent. All... more

This hotel got us to a great start in China: We were totally surprised the first morning by the bountiful breakfast bar, featuring an abundance of Western and Chinese food (see photo). The rooms and public areas are nice, clean and generously proportioned. The hotel also features a business tract, enabling us to get the ever so important first impression... more

Used Elong to book. Property is quite far from the major sights. For a 4 star, international hotel no one spoke English and that's not good. Received little to no help with sightseeing. Concierge was worthless with the exception of holding our baggage. Breakfast price was outrageous!! Room was nice, clean, and large. Lobby and restaurant was nice, perhaps elegant.... more
