DoubleTree by Hilton Beijing

Location. Reception desk was excellent especially Jimena was very helpful.

Toilets not properly finished. Missing piece on the ceiling. Foul smell in the corridor. No cups/milk provided in the room

The King Suite was very comfortable and we had to pay for an extra bed since our daughter was with us. Quite spacious. The breakfast was very good but lacked variation over the 6 days we were there. The staff were very friendly and helpful, specially almost everyone at the concierge, specially Banchero Tang. The reception staff were excellent and professional as well and spoke English quite well, except for 1 gentleman who was there early morning. We arrived at 6 AM and they were nice enough to give us an early check-in at 11AM. There's a medium sized mall called Rainbow mall right next to the hotel (attached to it actually) which was very convenient indeed for food and some light shopping, including cafes and a convenient store.The indoor pool was very nice and the fancy restaurant on the 3rd floor was understandable on the pricey side but great food. Jemina at the reception area was very attentive and always asked whether she could help in anyway whenever we crossed her.

Breakfast was great but little variation over our 6 day stay.Although I did guess this before booking it, the hotel is slightly away from the main tourist locations, but overall it wasn't a big problem since most car rides to malls and tourist sites were between 15-40 minutes.

Staff were nice and accommodating

Hotel is old. You can find better and newer hotel for cheaper

Great location

Poor Hilton standard, insects in the bathroom, moldy grouting/ sealant edges, broken tiles
