Jade Garden Hotel Beijing - Beijing

Oppholdet svarte til forventningene mine. Tredje korttidsopphold ved dette hotellet. Hotellet ligger midt i "smørøyet", mellom handlegata Wangfuching og Den forbudte by samt Tienanmen. Bra smårestauranter like i nærheten om man ønsker noe annet enn hotellrestaurantene. Bra frokostbuffet.

Oppholdet var meget tilfredsstillende. Frokosten var god og lokalrestauranter i nærmiljøet var spennende.

Hotellet ligger et kvartal unna handlegata Wanfujing, 20 min. til fots fra Tien An Men-plassen. Bra og intimt hotell med atmosfære, men ingen prangende resepsjon. Rommene er av bra standard, rene og med romslige bad. Ingen gateutsikt fra vinduene. Moderat trafikkstøy. Frokostbuffeten er rikholdig og frokostrestauranten pen og ordentlig.

Hadde et kjempefint opphold på Jade Garden Hotell. Hotellet ligger veldig sentralt mellom Den forbudte by (10 min gange) og handlegaten Wangfujing. Bestillte et Deluxe executive rom. Rommet var stort og fint og samsvarte med bildet på nettsiden. Noe tregt internett på rommet, men gratis. Minibaren ble fyllt opp med flere flasker vann og brus daglig […] (kostet ingenting). Servicen var bra, og frokost og lunsjbufeen ok. Gikk greit å komme seg til hotellet. Tok en taxi fra taxiranken på flyplassen og turen tok ca 40 min og kostet rundt 80 Yuan. På flyplassen i Beijing ble vi kontaktet av pirattaxisjåføer som tilbydde turen til 450 Yuan, vær obs på disse! Husk også å sjekke at takstameteret blir slått på. Taxisjåførene snakker sjelden engelsk så greit å ha med kart/adresse med kinesiske tegn. Les mer

The Hotel offers many free extras such as slippers, shopping bag, newspapers, bottles of water, etc. Although the two in-house restaurants are a bit pricey there are many cheaper places in the neighbourhood and a 24 hour mini-mart just along the street. Generally good value for money accomodation. The staff are friendly and try to be helpful but their […] lack of English sometimes make communication difficult. This is particularly evident at the Front Desk. The website map makes the distances look shorter than they are. For example the distance to the entry of the Forbidden City, now renamed The Imperial Palaces Museum, looks about 100 yards but is actually about a mile. It is difficult to get a cab to take you short distances and the rickshaw/pedicab drivers are not to be trusted so I would not recommend this hotel for anyone with walking difficulties. Otherwise a very pleasant place to stay. (Airport Taxi approx 100 yuan. By law drivers must use their meters rather than negotiating the fare price, although this is not strongly enforced. Negotiated prices are usually highly inflated - up to 4x meter price.) Les mer

No thrill but very convenient location

Hotel is what I expected for the price I paid. Buffet was better than exPected. Room maintenance and cleaning were very poor. Carpets wee filthy and I suspect the aircon was even worse. Beds were comfOrtable so that was a real good highlight. Computer with Internet in room is useful, no wifi for smartphone users though.

The location was good in terms of proximity to some restaurants, the night market, and The Forbidden City, but the hutong neighborhood we stayed in after this had a more authentic vibe which we preferred. The people at the desk were very nice, but we had a stronger language barrier here than at our hutong hotel (Courtyard 7). The beds here were very […] hard -- the hardest of our 6 hotels in China and Hong Kong. Also, this hotel has smoke everywhere, including thick smoke on floors labeled non-smoking. If you want a basically Western hotel, the Hotel Kapok next door seemed better than the Jade Garden in terms of smoke and overall quality. However, if you want a more authentic experience, I highly recommend a hutong courtyard hotel like Courtyard 7. Les mer

This hotel is centrally located. Even though the buffet offered by the hotel was a bit pricy, the restaurants cross the street offered excellent breakfast and dinner with very reasonable price. It is close to the night market with many different food sold in the line-up stands nearby. The check out process was a bit slow if you are in a rush. They needed […] to use the credit card again to cancel the initial deposit. Then they needed to check your room condition to make sure no minibar and other priced-items have been used. Les mer

Good hotel as a base to explore the Dong Cheng district. The rooms might be slightly old-but they are clean and reasonably comfortable.

Nice and clean

Mediocre usually is a negative term, but it isn't always so. If you want to be dazzled by your hotel, this is not the place. Jade Garden is ordinary. But they do the ordinary things very well. The breakfast is standard for international hotels in Asia, like what you find in Bangkok, Jakarta, Hong Kong, Tokyo. But the food is good quality, and the price […] is fair. The rooms are modest, but clean and well maintained. Nothing dazzling, but comfortable and good quality. Nothing missing to make your stay unpleasant. The staff is helpful, and go out of their way to be helpful. I had a case where the cab driver wouldn't take me to a Chinese address I had printed. They looked it up on the internet and told the cabs where to go. They made sure I had a cab early in the morning for my airport ride. All in all, a good value. BTW, across the street is an excellent restaurant. The window has a bowl shape. The food is incredible. Les mer

and close to a few really good restaurants and massage places like Grandmas kitchen and Dragonfly massage. Perfect if you only a few days to check out the biggest attractions. Concierge service to great wall provided an very cheerful Mr Nan =) All in all good hotel for a few days in Beijing

Had a great stay in the Jade Garden as a family of four from the UK, two teenage sons, visiting our daughter who's studying in Beijing. The hotel was excellent - clean, well equipped, with internet in the room . Check in was very smooth - we'd booked two rooms so twice as much potential for things to go wrong. The location was amazing, as noted elsewhere, […] just a short walk to the Forbidden City. About a 15 min walk to the underground, but taxis were so cheap, that didn't really matter. Besides, we tended to walk to the subway via the outside of the Forbidden City so it was a pleasant stroll. Meal prices high, but plenty of restaurants and a subway right next door. Besides, even if the breakfast is (by Beijing standards) expensive, eating out the rest of the day is so cheap you can easily stay in budget. Overall, a very clean, efficient hotel and for the UK traveller at least, pretty good value - you would pay three times as much for a similar hotel in Britain. Would highly recommend it for a stay in Beijing. Les mer

My stay at the Jade Garden was extremely pleasant. The location is excellent - close to Tiananmen Square, Wangfujing - with a good view of important architecture right from your window. It is in a very quiet compound and the nearby street is very calm, even though you're close to a shopping area. Rooms are very clean and well kept, and the staff is […] basically friendly and helpful. The breakfast buffet was typically dull (RMB68) and lunch buffet is rather expensive (138). I arrived very late at night from the airport. The taxi driver didn't know exactly where to go, but that was only a minor inconvenience. Note that there are 2 separate entrances around the corner from each other for parking and pedestrians. Very nice, historic atmosphere, though. I will stay there again when I go to Beijing! Les mer

Location was excellent . Room was okay . Bathroom. Oils have been cleaner. Staff very helpful . Beds were very hard

In a traditional building located just 15 minutes to forbidden city, by walk. Room is not very modern but very clean and comfortable.

Great Breakfast buffet, convenient to Forbidden Palace and Night Market, staff spoke English.

Stayed here with my nephew in a twin room on the ground level. Was very impressed when we rolled up at the hotel at 7.30am in the morning and they let us check in straight away no questions asked! Found the hotels location to fantastic with only a short walk to Wangfujing and Forbidden City. Also withing 10 minutes walk to two subway stops on line 1 […] and 5. Only ate at the breakfast buffet twice and did not eat at the restaurant but will try it next time. Breakfast was ok but not outstanding - mind you they did seem to cater to the Asian taste much more then the Western - understandably I guess!!. Staff spoke enough English to make the stay easy and were always very helpful. Definitely staying here again!! Les mer

Very nice hotel, the staff was friendly. Not everyone spoke English well, but enough people did to be understood. The only negative is that it was a little difficult to get away from the cigarette smoke.

Good location, easy walk in 10 mins to the Forbidden City and a further 10/15 mins to Tianamen Square. Easy walk the other way to ATM and shops if you need. All in all quite comfortable and a bit of history as well associated with the hotel. Excellent local restaurant across the street, (has menu in English written in the window) I was the only westerner […] in there, very friendly and excellent local food. Les mer

Good location. Forbidden City, Tiananmen Square and Wang Fujing Street are within walking distance. Taking cabs to other surrounding places was not a problem as well. The only problem with this hotel is the housekeeping did not provide soap on a daily basis. As long as there is still a small piece of soap in the soap dish, they would not provide a new […] one. On top of that, they don't vacum the room properly. I could still see a lot of dirt on the carpet including fruits seeds, kuaci, cotton butt etc. Overall, not a bad hotel due to its location but definitely need to upkeep the standard of housekeeping. Les mer

This hotel is in a very interesting neighborhood. There are many good restaurants in the area. It is an easy walk to Forbidden City and Tiananmen Square by going left from the hotel or turn right to go to Wanfujing Street. The hotel has free internet access via cable in the rooms, or wi-fi in the lobby.

Surprisingly good hotel for the money...great location near Tianamen Square makes it easy to see a lot in a short amount of time. Nice marble lobby welcomes you...rooms are excellent and the breakfast buffet is as well. Definitely recommend.

great deal for the price! minutes from Forbidden City, near some great restaurants and shopping. Our only beef with the place was the room: for some reason it was only blowing cold air, tried to switch it to HEAT, did not work. We were to busy and tired to complain, so we just let it go. Try Peking roasted duck restaurant down the street!

Value for money

Reasonably nice hotel close to the Forbidden City. Staff was courteous and helpful. Good value.

Good location near the East Gate of Forbidden City. Room clean and comfortable. Laundry service is excellent. Staff courteous with competent English. Hotel restaurant OK. Inexpensive restaurants near by as well as a small supermarket. Next to bus stop to Tian An Men Station East (metro) and 10 minute walk to the main shopping centre on Wangfujing Street. […] Overall good value for money. We stayed 2 weeks and would stay again. Les mer

I was delighted with this hotel, which is ideally situated for proximity to major sights and only a short walk from either Wangfujing or Tian'anmen East subway stations. I found the staff very friendly and helpful - to those who found otherwise, I can only say that a smile and an attempt to speak the language goes a long way. The buffet breakfast/lunch […] offered a wide choice of foods which changed daily. My one dinner there was OK but not a stunning experience - I would recommend exploring what's available on the street. I had great food at half the price at a small family-run cafe nearby. As a solo female traveller of a certain age, convenience and value without sacrificing comfort are highly important, and Jade Garden did not disappoint. (I could have wished for a better view from the window than the air conditioning pipes, but hey, you can't have everything!) I would certainly stay here again. Les mer

This was my 3rd trip to Beijing and Jade Garden was my favorite of all hotels where I've stayed while here. It's about a 5 min walk to Wangfujing shopping district in one direction and 3 min walk to the Forbidden City in the other direction. The hotel is modern, charming and very clean, but there's also a sense of history (it's a historically significant […] building). I'm accustomed to 4/5 star accommodations and was not disappointed with this choice. The hotel staff is friendly and very helpful. My mom enjoyed the breakfast buffet. A few suggestions: I was glad I took the advice of one reviewer and upgraded to an Executive room- we definitely needed a little extra space. I also went to the Dragonfly Spa which is only a few blocks away and reasonably priced- great after a long day of touring. I would recommend the outdoor dining restaurant across street for lunch/dinner. It's a friendly, family- owned business and has a menu with pictures. There are a few restaurants, but this one has a cage full of talking birds and a rooster in front. I really enjoyed my stay and will definitely be back to Jade Garden. Les mer

A very convenient location to all places of interests & shopping...

We stayed in the Jade Garden Hotel for a week, and it was quite a nice place. The Deluxe Executive room was spacious, the furniture was comfortable and the room was clean. We asked for a no-smoking room, and although the room was equipped with ashtrays there was no lingering smell of smoke. The staff at the desk spoke English well, and were, by Chinese […] standards, polite. We had breakfast at the buffet once, and it was standard hotel fare, nothing great or terrible, but the restaurant across the street (next to Subway Sandwiches) was great, the food was cheap and delicious, and the portions were huge. The staff there were really friendly, especially the owner. The hotel is convenient to both the Forbidden City and Wanfujing Street, I'd be happy to stay there again. Les mer

Like so many reviewers before have said this hotel is a good mid range hotel in a great location. Minutes from fanastic shopping, night food markets and short walks to Tiananmen Square, the Forbidden Palace (10 - 15 minutes), the Hutong District (20 minutes walk), the perfoming art building (20 minutes), a 15 minute walk to the metro station to the […] silk makets and a 2 minute walk to catch the number 86 bus to the Olympic sites. It's not an easy hotel to find the first time, even though it is on the main road. I'm not quite sure why taxi drivers have difficulty finding it. The only draw back to this hotel is unlike many European type hotel ( Holiday Inn etc) there are truly very few staff that speak english. It is a good hotel that is predominently chinese. I am a sole female traveller and that was so difficult. They had one or two staff that spoke very broken english, however they were not always available. I saw a few european couples and I think that would be much easier. Wifi is not available in the rooms but in the lobby only, but the lobby has no table. I did eventually get wifi access in my room but that was by good luck. There is free internet access on the tv in the rooms. Breakfast is very Asian with very limited European options, but enough for you to have scrambled eggs and bacon with toast. If you like Asian breakfasts the variety was excellent. Would I stay again, yes. I was there for 8 nights and I got very comfortable. I can't reiterate the location and a good hotel enough, but if you want a taste of european home, this is not the place to stay. This is a good chinese hotel that offers chinese hospitality. Les mer

My colleague and I stayed in Jade Garden Hotel for four nights in two separate rooms. We were both very happy with our choice, particularly as we managed to get a discount rate through hotels.com. and free broadband connection in the hotel room. The breakfasts were awesome, with a variety of Chinese and western choices, and the hotel staff were very […] courteous and helpful at all times. We also got a great foot massage at the beauty parlor after a long day walking around the nearby tourist areas. The hotel is very convenient to the Forbidden City and the night food market, both just a block or so away. One thing we disliked was that the dinner menu at the western style hotel restaurant was so predictable (boring to us), and we were a bit disappointed that the restaurant closed earlier than the advertised time, though the food was available in the bar. Overall, it was a great place to stay and we would definitely go back. Les mer

Nice hotel with all you need, comfortable rooms, friendly and helpful staff and great location in the heart of Beijing. Recommended.

The hotel is very strategically located, within walking distance to/from the Tian An Men Square, Forbidden City, Wang Fu Jing shopping complex and Donghuamen night food market. It was a clean and nice hotel with free, good internet connection in the room, tea/coffee making facilities and free daily bottled water and soft drinks. The staff was also friendly […] and helpful. Les mer

The Hotel was comfortable and centrally located. The main problem I faced sometime was not being able to communicate what I want. The AC wouldnt go below 25 degrees and that was a bit annoying as it was summer.

Having spent a long tim in hotels in China none compare to Jade Garden Hotel. Spacious, clean room. House keeping came evry day with fresh towels. Delicious breakfast. Fridge in the room which was good for chilling drnks in the Beijing heat. Helpful reception and door men but with limited English. Internet access in the room and very close to the Forbidden […] City. Les mer
