Concierge "The 68 cozy rooms are traditionally furnished, with red-tasseled lamps and dark wood furniture, but they don't feel like museum galleries."

Travel + Leisure "Multiple buildings surround a quadrangle in this courtyard-style Dongcheng neighborhood hotel, which is down an ancient alley, or hutong." Full review

Avoid the expensive breakfast.
DK Eyewitness "A more comfy, lived-in atmosphere, although unfortunately over-zealous modernisation has stripped the hotel of some of its charm."

Fodor's "A functional name for a pretty utilitarian hotel, Traders is located inside the China World Trade Complex, hence the prevalence of business travelers to be found staying here." Full review
DK Eyewitness "Perfect for business travelers in a hurry- slightly small and dated rooms are stocked with copious office supplies and have complimentary broadband."
Time Out "Business people who have an eye on the bottom line stay at Trader’s Hotel, the younger and cheaper sister to the more glamorous China World next door." Full review
