Kempinski Hotel Beijing Yansha Center

I nearly always stay at this lovely hotel in Beijing. Excellent check in and check out with no fuss makes the experience smooth.

I would have preferred a bigger bed ..

Breakfast, room, and location.

N.A.

Booked a family room that is basically 2 rooms connected, with one king size bed and 2 single beds, perfect for the kids. The rooms are nice and clean. The staff is friendly and polite. The breakfast menu is quite good, but can get a bit boring with the days. Swimming Pool is small but good enough after a day touristing to recharge and refresh. Added bonus for the sauna facilities in the locker room. You need to have a cap to enter in the pool but you can buy it there. Slippers will be provided for free. Hotel is well situated if you want to stay in Chaoyang area, close to lucky street restaurants, Solana shopping mall and walking distance to Sanlitun. The hotel is located just besides Liangmaqiao river, that is extremely nice to take a walk and even go to some restaurants. The river is very clean and people is doing all kind of water activities there and even some live music. Hotel is also near the Lianngmaqiao Subway station that is very convenient to navigate the city.

Swimming pool is small and they should control people doing laps as we have to stay in a corner with the kids while 3 swimmers occupied the whole pool. When there´s a number of people, they should control it more so everybody can enjoy it.

Nice hotel in a good location.

Dated rooms, staff was not that helpful - upon check in I have basically only received the key card without any further information on where breakfast is and from when till when etc... Also, during breakfast there was no waiter in sight to order coffee or other items from the menu. Concierge gave me wrong information regarding opening times of a museum, I took a taxi there only to arrive at a closed museum. In general I was rather disappointed.
