Jinjiang Inn Beijing East Lianshi Road

Price not too bad for Beijing. Staff was friendly. Internet was quite fast. Bed was reasonably comfortable.

Location quite far from subway. Felt a little run down. Bathroom hot water tepid at best. Nowhere near the best Jinjiang Inn that I've stayed at.

The location was good for event that I was attending, but there were no nearby stores, restaurants, variety.

I tried on numerous occasions to contact the hotel to find out about hotel pick up. As communication was difficult, I sent an SMS and received no reply. Asked a colleague to help translate and confirm my booking on Friday morning. I did inform Booking.com and the hotel, that our flight arrived in the early hours of Saturday morning. When we arrived at the hotel, our booking had been cancelled, but they eventually found a room. It was 3:00am by the time we got to bed. When we asked if they could call a taxi, they were not helpful and told us to sort out our own transport by Didi. As I said communication, was the biggest problem.
