Fodor's "The wow factor at the Grand Hyatt Beijing... comes via its huge glass facade and even more extraordinary Olympic-size swimming pool." Full review
Insight Guides "One of Beijing’s top hotels, a favourite of businessmen and short-term tourists, that includes top-notch restaurants, excellent service, and houses a museum of ancient Chinese bronzes."
Lonely Planet "Stylish creation lording it over Wángfǔjǐng’s Oriental Plaza, but loses marks for extortionate wi-fi charges."
Travel + Leisure "Super-solicitous service; excellent in-house dining and entertainment; and the most outrageously over-the-top indoor “urban resort” in the city." Full review
Condé Nast Traveler "Part of Oriental Plaza, the country’s largest commercial complex, this curved glass tower is "one of the places to be in Beijing"." Full review
DK Eyewitness "In the glimmering Oriental Plaza complex that dominates the central shopping district, no other hotel in Beijing is better located, and few are as well equipped."

Rough Guide "This three-story hostel is in a good area, though right on a noisy main road. Rooms are spartan but clean, and the whole place looks a bit institutional."

Lonely Planet "A no-frills hostel with nifty, capsule-style singles and spacious twins and doubles. The subway is very close, and it's a short stroll to the area's lively hutong alleyways." Full review
