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."

"Offering a great location in the heart of old Beijing, well-informed staff, and private rooms with super city views, the hostel is popular with both Chinese and foreign backpackers." Full review
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

Condé Nast Traveler "Set in the heart of Beijing’s shopping district, the three-year-old hotel is convenient to trips to the Forbidden City and art galleries." Full review
DK Eyewitness "This large, modern hotel with a rooftop pool is popular with both business and leisure travelers, who are attracted by its excellent executive services and location."
Star Service "In the heart of the city's most popular shopping area, this hotel wins with modern confines and friendly service that caters to a solid dose of Americans attracted to its name." Full review

The 14 connecting rooms should be requested two weeks in advance, however, to guarantee availability.
Time Out "This sleek Hilton is tucked onto a side street near shopping street Wangfujing. The rooms feature modern design, with flat-screen TVs, iPod docking stations, and rain showers." Full review
Fodor's "The hotel opened in 2008 for the Olympics, and by now the rooms are showing the odd sign of wear and tear, but it's still a great option, especially for first-timers to the city." Full review
Lonely Planet Top Choice
"Modern, classy and very centrally located, this branch of the Hilton is one of Běijīng’s best five-star offerings." Full review
