Although this is one of the best parts of Beijing to be based in, there aren't that many decent hotels to choose from in this part of town. This is by no means a luxury hotel, but what it does it does well, and the the price is very reasonable. Rooms re OK size, clean and still feel quite new. The area surrounding the hotel is largely residential but there are lots of restaurants/bars/cafés around, so it is by no means boring. SLT is a 10-15 minute walk away, if that is your thing.
