Horrible Stay! Left quickly.
I had a very hard time finding this place. The entrance is in an alley way. I was given a room downstairs without windows which was fine, however there is a restaurant downstairs and a bathroom and those smells just linger into your room which is nauseating. There were a lot of fruit fly and gnats flying in the room. The shower floods the entire bathroom and a little ends up in the room. The bed is really hard. I then saw several roaches at which point I decided to leave. I had booked 3 nights, but after this I just could not. This place is horrible. The staff does not speak any English and was not able to understand why I wanted to check out.

Bad room. Not again!!
This hotel is in bad condition. My room num 107, next to a restaurant. The corridor is dirty. Once you entered the room, you could find a cockroach on the floor. You could also smell those food from the room. The room is stuffy without window. A/C is not cold. You can't sleep well as the bed is hard and you would hear cooking and cutleries sound from the room early morning.

Wolf in Sheep's Clothing
Took over an hour to check-in because I didn't have print-out of booking confirmation. No staff spoke English. However, manager was polite & good humoured. Bed was hard wood with very thin mattress. At 2am asked front-desk if we could move rooms. She said she'd show us another room in the morning. Morning shift had no knowledge of this. Very rude girl on reception made no effort to communicate, kept serving people behind me, to avoid dealing with me. Fine for back-packer or low budget travellers. Not as advertised! We checked out after 1 night to go to a 3-star hotel. I was told the beds were the same in all the rooms, they didn't have any with a real mattress.

Practice your Chinese
I wanted to practice my Chinese so intentionally chose a hotel where none of the staff spoke English. I got to try out such phrases as "The TV still doesn't work" and "I thought there was supposed to be Wifi." But walk out the door and the location is excellent -- right next to the Line 5 subway station, a block from Xing Ba Ke (Starbucks) and 20 minutes from Tian'anmen.

Not a bad place to stay.
It was conveniently located near the subway line and a short walk to the Forbidden City area. Room quality was fine for such a budget price. Neighborhood was decent and near grocery stores.

Be careful when you chose this hotel
This hotel is close to attractions and public transportation. However, this hotel is not well managed and its conditions are old and some nonfunctional. In fact I was mislead by its official description, which is overstated and/or inaccurate. For example, it doesn't have wifi inside and I ordered "Deluxe Double Room" but actually got a standard room. The front desk didn't provide sufficient customer help and typically answered "I don't know". For cost, it is overvalued for its charge comparing nearby same level hotels. So I don't recommend it.

Most Terrible hotel stay experience ever - Beijing
We were very disappointed with our very first stay with hotel. When we first check in with the hotel the reception staff insisted that they would only accept cash for hotel deposit. They refused to accept credit card for deposit unless they charged us with an admin fee. When we requested their to see their supervisor, they rejected our request. 2 Upon checking in to the room, the toilet stinked and the room was run-down with old, dirty cupboard, wardrobe and also, toilet bowl with foul smell. 3 We regretted booking this hotel and we quickly checked out a couple of hours after successfully booking with another hotel.

Hotel staffs at lobby counter were very rude.
We stayed four nights. Fisrt night we had hot water at 6:30 pm. No hot water was available at 7 pm in the next nights. I went to front desk to make inquiry about the hot water. The hotel clerks were very rude and said that their hotel is the only hotel in the Wangwujing area that had hot shower. Don't complain. They said the hot water will be available at 8 PM. But the hot water was not on until 9:30 pm. Stay away from this hotel. The hotel staffs are very very rude and lousy. I saw them arguing with the local Chinese guests all the time.

Not for the pampered hotel type. On a side street.
When I walked into my room, my first thought was, "Was someone cooking fish?" I later realized the odor I was experiencing was sewer gas. Chinese low budget hotels are famous for having no decent gas traps in their plumbing and this place is no exception. There is no safe, no coffee pot, no clock. My toilet flush quit working and I used a waste basket full of water to flush until I contacted a maid in the morning. (repair came quickly) Now, why I will stay here again; The rates are acceptable, the air condition was very good, the location to Wanfujing Street, Tiananmen Square and the Forbidden City are great. There are decent resturants and stores within a very short distance and my room was super quiet. Being on a side street, (Hutong) there was little traffic. I am 68 years old and walked most everywhere listed above and appreciated the walk in a cool drizzle. Next time I will bring my wife as I was frequently invited by young ladies down the street to "Have coffee with me",... at a sleezy bar (not McDonalds, as I suggested). I wondered what the scam involved? I suspected a highly overpriced drink. The friendly girls got quite angry when I refused their invite. Beware! Their flattery is nice, but don't fall for what your hormones want. Wanfujing is just a few blocks north and I loved the Beijing Bookstore, food court (scorpions on a stick), etc. 100 RMB to, or from the airport. (Small cab, meter running).

Overall the quality wasn't bad, especially considering the price. The front desk spoke more English than some of the other places I've been. The location was nice. The internet was of poor quality. Also, the other comments about the odor from the bathroom is very true.

Beijing Wangfujing Dawan "Love Shack" Hotel
There's a reason why this hotel was discounted per night. I rented a standard two bed room. The bathroom was "clean", but had mold between the tile crevices. The towels were stained with blood and other material. The floor carpets were dirty and dusty. The only plus that I can think of is that it was discounted per night, the room was heated, and the room provided condoms for sale. This was obviously a love shack hotel. I rented this room because I needed a night's sleep for 8 hours and I left. This is not a place where you want to spend your vacation in with your family.

Good Hotel for Price and Location
It's just 100 meters from Dengshikou Metro Station. But the hotel sign as you exit the station is in Chinese. There is a large English sign only after you enter the hotel property on Ganyu Hutong. Good: Cheap as my standard double was about US$32 per night; location is less than 2 minutes walk from Metro and there's lot's of shops in the hutongs behind hotel including a laundry place; my room is big, quite clean, Chinese-style beds not too hard or soft; front desk staff is not very friendly but efficient; house cleaning ladies are wonderful and courteous. Bad: Lobby is very badly maintained; a kind of smell, though not foul but by not pleasant either; no WiFiat all; wired internet in room never worked; TV has few English channels, only 1 CCTV News channel modeled like CNN. I will probably stay here again if the price remains the same. However, I would be embarrassed to let any acquaintance in Beijing know that I am staying there.

If you aren't going to need help Its perfect
The location is unbeatable. There is a subway entrance just around the corner from the hotel (literally less than a minute). It is also about a 7 minute walk from the main mall y famous food alley. The rooms have enough space and I actually got hot water every time u showered so that was nice :). The staff does not speak ANY English and they won't even try to understand what your asking if it's not I'm Chinese. They will literally wave a hand in front of their face dismissing you before you've even had a chance to finish talking lol. If you don't need help usually from your hotel staff this is a great value for your money.

Everything normal. Location best. Smell problem.
I stayed here for 3 days. The location is very closed to subway station. It was very easy to see around. But the smell from toilet is serious. If you can close the door of toilet all the time, It could be normal option to choose. Everything is normal. Location is best. Smell is problem.

Has been let go. very run down
I stayed in this hotel in 2005 and it wasn't great but it was ok and was in a great location so I booked again for this trip in 2012. The maintenance man must have be away for the last 6 years. The room smells. The bathroom has cracked tiles and leaks. The sheets have stains on the. The type of stains that you wouldn't sleep on. The towels are old and have holes in them. The room is very noisy and I was on the top floor in a superior room. Last time I stayed it had the bit of smell but everything else was ok, this time it was not. Its a pity as this hotel is in a great location. If they renovated it, it would be great. I wouldn't recommend this hotel. I have traveled through asia and south east asia many times so I am not that choosy with rooms as they are cheap. But this room I believe has become to a state that is not comfortable to stay in
