  I have stayed here 3 times, twice in 2006 and once this year. It has consistently been a good hotel for my home base. The overall construction is on the older side and could use carpet upgrade in the hallways, but the beds are the best - down, silk, sparkling clean white bedding, and soft as a cloud. The morning buffet is a must. A great way to start each busy day. The other hotel restaurants should be avoided. There are tours available to the Great Wall, the Forbidden City, etc; sign up in the lobby for the next morning. Neighborhood restaurants - try Susan's - very good. Shopping accross the street from the hotel at Sisters will get you the best bargains. The cab rides are VERY reasonable. I am going again in the fall.

  This hotel is basically in a small mall kind of complex where there are some shops, coffee shops (including Starbucks), a pub, a bowling alley and restaurants. They call the complex "Lido". Pronounce that as "Lidooo" for cab drivers. Just say "Lidooo" and all of them know it.
  
  Beds are clean and comfortable, but hard by american standards. Room and bathroom were clean and ok in general. Room, esp bathroom, does appear aged. Location is not that great if you want to be close to downtown Wangfujing or san li tun. It's about 20min taxi ride. Note that taxis are very cheap. That 20min ride costs only $4-5. But, this location does appear to be prominent among westreners. So, better english here. Restuarants are expensive inside the Lido complex. But, I do think Thai restuarant inside the complex was reasonably priced. Texan Bar & grill was the outrageous of all. Free breakfast was good. Outside on the street, there are few restuarants with reasonable pricing. Also, there are no annoying massage calls during the nights. No noices from adjucent rooms either. I didn't like my room location though. There was no window view. Something was blocking it and there was some stupid bright big light all night. May be they have a billboard or something hanging there.
  
  Overall was ok hotel if you are ok with the location.

  When the hotel first opened 20 some years ago, it was similar in class comparing to some other hotels, such as the Sheraton Great Wall, even during our stay back in 1998. However, this time was a total disappointment. Rooms have aged and not clean, quality of staff has also degraded somewhat. It has degraded to somewhat similar to a typical Holiday Inn along the highway in Jersey or the like. For the similar rate, you can get a much better hotel in Bejing.

  The Lido has a great mix of home comforts and Chinese luxuries. I loved the deli for quick snacks and the Thai restraunt for a change of pace. The adjacent business provide every amenity from laudry services, tailors to a great massage at great prices.
