Radegast Hotel Cbd Beijing

The staff were very helpful, and most of them spoke decent english and made it easy to communicate. The rooms were really nice and clean, and the size was great. Very good value for money. On the map and in the hotel introduction it's made out to be walking distance to the silk market, but it's actually a 40 minute walk and you are alot better off getting a taxi. The pool is supposed to be free, but swimming caps are mandatory without this being stated anywhere and you are charged 170 CNY for one, which dismisses the point of being free of charge I think, as not many bring a swimming cap. We were on a shopping holiday, but when we arrived at the hotel they charged us 5000 CNY in deposit for the room. I thought this was way over the top, as we had already paid for the hotel. The money wasn't back on my account before two days after I left, and therefore shrunk my budget alot. The breakfast was expensive and not very tasty.

Quality of the Room NN

A CBD hotel with glasswall exterior, but with a pleasant interior and natural marble finishings. Highly recommended for businessmen, who know their way in Beijing and appreciate value for money. The international hustle and bustly, but for that, you can walk to the nearby China World Tower.

The hotel is very nicely appointed, the natural wood and marble provide optimal ambience, the bed and bathroom are very comfortable Language barriers and local management make this hotel less accessible for international tourists, but it's a gem for the experienced business traveller seeking 5 star comfort at a 3.5 star price. A true find in Beijing.

Staff very courteous and helpful. Room good size and well appointed.

Comfortable bed and bathroom, high end feel without the high end charge, superb swimming pool and sauna No CNN or BBC, and staff speak only basic english. Despite the international name, the hotel seems to target the local market.
