Hebei Hotels

There's no better location than this hotel. Walking distance to the forbidden city and to the shopping area. Located on the most historical road, the hotel is part of history itself. On that note, the hotel rooms do seem a tad bit old but the hotel staff is so nice. Be careful of tuk tuk drivers. They agreed to 40 RMB for two but when we arrived, he changed to 40 per person.

We stayed 4 days during Chinese New Year and had a wonderful experience. Very dedicated, attentive staff. The room was spacious, modern. The bathroom was large and had a great "spa" feel and layout. It also was quiet and peaceful which is nice after a long day. The hotel has a very good restaurant, China Grill with stunning view of the city.

From the moment you enter the Peninsula, you are greeted by a staff that is dedicat to making your stay as comfortably as possible. Kurt, the manager, is the epitome of this. Kurt arranges all you need to make your stay perfect. For my wife and I, he was invaluable. From arranging cars to getting us reservations at the best places, Kurt was so great. he made our stay in Beijing perfect. The Peninsula is a great, great place to stay. Staff like Kurt makes it even more so.

This hotel is more like an aparment with daily cleaning service. The pluses are there are two bedrooms (1 king size bed in the larger room and 1 twin in the smaller room); there is a small kitchen, there is even a nice washer w. drying capability as well (we used it and it worked). So it is more spacious than a normal hotel. It is suitable for a family. The downside is that the upkeep is not the best. It is not the cleanest place (there are stains in the carpet), but it is acceptable to me. If you want to get new toilery each day you need to throw away the used ones otherwise they won't give you a new set. The cleaning crew start their day between 7:30-8:30am so you have to wait till then to get your shampoons etc. The hotel staff is nice and do respnd to your need even though it is slow at times. For the two bedrooms, two breakfast buffet are included. The selection is very basic but it is good enough to get a meal out of it. You have a selection of eggs that is cooked for order.

I always stay in this hotel when I am visiting my parents who live in Tianjin Univ. It is not a fancy hotel but everything is adequate. Room is comfortable and clean. Price is very reasonable.

Stayed here a number of times. Indoor pool, gym and shopping mall and Walmart within 5 mins. What swings it for me however, is transport links. Only 1 subway station away from Tianjin Zhan, meaning you can jump on bullet train from Beijing and literally be in hotel in 40 minutes, the system is just brilliant, wish we had same transport links in UK.

This is a truly beautiful and comfortable hotel that is quiet and has outstanding amenities and is also within walking distance from a great shopping mall.
