We stayed there for few noghts during golden week. The hotel is centrally located and is actually joined with grand hotel (they did it during the olympic I think). The rooms as you can see is the pictures (executive 602 sft rooms) are great. But the hotel doesn't have a lobby (just few chairs in the entrance) and doesn't have... more

I'd have to say I was disappointed. I was expecting the Raffles to be the hotel highlight of my China visit but it was the poorest of the six we stayed in. The low points were that on three occasions I was approached by a pimp offering me a 'lady'. This was not in the main Raffles foyer but in... more

Got a great rate on this old-world luxurious hotel through Expedia and I don't regret my stay at all. The Raffles is superbly located; it's one long Beijing city block from Tiananman Square and the Forbidden City. It's also a very short walk to the Wangfujing shopping area. I got an executive suite for the pretty incredible price of about... more

The hotel is in a excellent location close to the Forbidden City and main shopping area. The service was excellent, if a little old fashioned. I was even given a drink during the very relaxed check-in process, but didn't drink it as I wasn't sure whether I'd be charged for it! The hotel set up is a little strange, with... more

This is an excellent property in a location that is very convenient to the Forbidden City. Exec Rooms are 600 square feet and feel more like small suites than the typical hotel room. They are well appointed and very comfortable. The public spaces feel a bit institutional. I'd classify the public space design as "cookie cutter" luxury. Not much in... more

Excellent hotel. We used 5 star hotels in Hong Kong, Shanghai and Xian duirng this trip before arriving in Beijing. Undoubtedly the best hotel during out trip. Living in Sydney, it was great to hear that the hotel manager and his assistant were both Aussies from Sydney. Excellent check -in, even served a welcome cocktail while waiting for our paperwork... more

A typical Raffles experience. Wonderful old building with big rooms, excellent location within walking distance to famous places and shopping area, courteous and friendly staff and an excellent but cheap seafood buffet. This was the best hotel on our China trip (Beijing/Xian/Shanghai). more

This hotel definitely met our expectations. The check-in was seamless, the rooms were very clean, the staff was accomodating, and breakfast was included. Great location- we decided on this hotel after reading everyone elses reveiws. Thank you.. We decided to utilize the hotel's offer to pick us up at the airport. This was a great welcome after a non-stop flight... more

This beautiful hotel will ensure you are seen to by dutiful staff throughout your stay. Great location - just a short walk from Tiananmen Square and shopping area (and an interesting, must-see night market!). This hotel contains everything a resident could possibly need: Swimming pool; beauty therapy & masseuse; fitness centre; 10 lane bowling alley in the basement. The restaurant... more
