BEI Zhaolong Hotel, JdV by Hyatt

This is a good hotel. Good location, good room, good gym. I chose this hotel because of its history. It was opened by a famous man in 1985. Despite its age, it has been refurbished well. It is a modern hotel that generally looks quite good. The rooms look newly refurbished. The bed is very comfortable and significantly better than other cheaper hotels. The room is spacious. The location of this hotel is commendable. It is a short walk away from the metro station and equally close to Sanlitun. The downside is that you can hear the car horns made by impatient drivers in vehicles on the major roads nearby. The best feature of this hotel is its very good gym. Ask the front desk of this hotel for a card to access the gym in an adjacent building. In this gym, you will find the usual cardio machines and other machines. These include a cable machine, assisted chin up (pull up) and dips machine, lat pull down, low row, and a bench press setup. Dumbbell weights, benches, and an inclined abdominal bench complete this nice gym. I would like to stay here again.

Fantastic service from the level 1 reception area, I didn't have a local number to order takeaway so one of the boys at the level 1 reception - C. provided his own number for me to use and he even messaged me when the food arrived. My housekeeper was also very attentive, she left a personal note welcoming us and put extra water in the room because it's a hot day. As a mum travelling with two young kids this really made my stay here very comfortable.

A brilliant location for shopping and bars in Santorum. Friendly staff and clean rooms. Well worth the money. Will definitely book again.
