Beijing Hotel Nuo Forbidden City

The breakfast buffet had a good selection of western items. The location was very close to the Wangfujing pedestrian mall with a wide variety of stores. The Forbidden City was a fair distance away and not too far for me to walk but the concerns about the Corona virus (Jan 24, 2020) severely limited my desire to spend any time in the crowds. I hope to return to China afterwards to stay in the same hotel and see the sights that I missed during this trip. Be careful when coming into Beijing because there are 2 NUO hotels. GPS map directions led me to the wrong hotel. The friendly staff at the wrong hotel ordered a taxi for me to the correct hotel. The taxi fare was about 50CNY.

Changing the length of stay at the hotel is not allowed by booking . com. Once the guest checks in, no changes to the reservation are allowed. I wanted to leave Beijing early due to the corona virus and go back to the USA; booking . com would not allow it. I was going to be liable for the entire reservation. I will never use this service again! The hotel was great, booking . com is not at all. The hotel did not charge me for nights that I was not there. They were great about the situation, booking was not decent about it at all!

We had never been to China and I wanted somewhere convenient for the major tourist sites and where staff would be likely to speak English. Beijing Hotel Nuo delivered. The reception staff could always answer our questions, we could walk to the forbidden city and Wangfujing st and the excellent subway system is 400m down the road. The room heating is too much but it being winter we could just open a door to cool things down. Very clean and rooms serviced twice a day.

First of all room was spacious and there was no cigarette smell.room amenities were well arranged and clean.toilet bowl doesn’t have enough pressure to flush but it’s not a big issue! Generally I loved to stay in there.compare to my previous hotel this hotel was way more pleasant to stay.morning breakfast was also tasty and fresh.if i go to Beijing,definitely i’ll stay in there!

Wifi connection was a bit weak especially when lots of the hotel guests are at the property.at night and in the morning!but it was okay!

Lovely staff all of which are very helpful and so pleasant. The hotel is ideally located to Tiananmen Square, the Forbidden City, nearby shopping malls and the underground system. Breakfast was out of this world, great choice of western and asian food. My daughter had a sore throat and the lovely girl from reception went to great effort to get her lemon and honey. Highly recommended
