Zhong An Hotel Beijing - Former Residence of Journalist Edgar Snow

We were close to the center and right by the railway station, with easy access from Beijing International Airport. Our double room was small, but clean, cozy, and neatly arranged, so the size didn't bother us much. The breakfast buffet is a good deal at ¥38.

There’s a free laundry service, which was a nice surprise, and the staff are friendly and helpful. The room is small but has the basics, including a fridge, kettle, power sockets, and a comfortable bed. It’s within walking distance of the metro and train station, though that station is always crowded. The police station is next door, and the area still seemed quiet and secluded after dark.

The restaurant was the best part for me. I looked forward to every meal, and each one was a real treat. The hotel itself was lovely too, with a great atmosphere, attentive staff, and smooth service. It’s close to most tourist spots, and the staff can help arrange things if you need. I’d happily recommend it.

This is a historic place, and on the day we left there was even a Chinese Opera performance. Our room was comfortable, the staff were friendly and helpful, and breakfast was excellent. It’s near two metro lines, with Fair Price Supermarket nearby for whatever you need. They also put out free porridge after 22:00.
