PiaoHome chain hotel (Beijing Guomao Donghua trade store) Reviews

For the price of this hotel I wasn’t expecting much, but what I was offered was exceptional. Decent, clean rooms and beddings

just heard fly sound (zzzzzz) on my ear but not seen any. That makes me uncofortable whole time. Also didnt feel clean or safe.

Location was good and near to US embassy just 5-10 minutes of drive … recommended

Very nice. They help you clean the room usually. It’s good for 2 people to share the cost but a bit expensive for 1 person

Very nice and very good hotel. Very cheap and very clean

The hotel's location near the subway was great for getting around. However, the service was a bit slow, and there were some issues with cleanliness in the rooms and common areas. Despite the convenient location, improvements in service and cleanliness are needed for a more comfortable stay.

Just a simple cheap hotel with no English speakers. No one spoke English which is typical in China. Also far from Beijing metro lines.

Not in the best location. A bit away from the food and active areas. The room was good for the price ad the service was decent.

All staffs are so old. Very cold room AC is not working, people’s are smoking everywhere, smelling smoke in everything.

Can’t say it was pleasant at all. This hotel welcomed us with a grim looking socialism-style building, non-english speaking staff and a very-very-very messy room, which in fact was still messy even after we asked staff to clean up one more time. To be precise, floor wasn’t vacuumed or washed at all, table was very dusty and sticky for some reason, towel handles in the bathroom haven’t been clean since Mao times I guess, covered in some yellow fat or rust. Should I even say anything about windows or windowsill? I was uncomfortable touching them, while trying to open and get some fresh air, all days we were there. Although, about me *trying* to open them: it really is hard to open old chinese wooden windows. Aside from our messy room, well, it was still bad in almost every aspect. Very, no, VERY dirty hallway with some spots here and there. View of the old parking lot, and some god forgotten silo tower. Quite unpleasant neighborhood. But still, even after all I said above, it has it’s pros. First, it was very warm in our room, which is a matter of utmost importance if you travelling around China in winter. Probably it was the warmest room we’ve been in China: that’s why I constantly wanted to open those goddamned old chinese wooden windows. Second, despite unpleasant neighborhood it has quite a central location with CGTN Tower and other skyscrapers nearby. Travelling to the city center on a subway was super convenient. It rarely took us more than 15-20 minutes. Third. Despite all of it’s ugliness and messiness, there was no cockroaches, no ants, no anything. Which is surprisingly good, given it’s location and it’s cost. Fourth. Yes, cost. You probably already noticed it yourself, it’s quite cheap, even if you compare it to some newer hotels on the outskirts of town. Overall, would I recommend it? Well, yeah, if you have a tight budget, you coming to Beijing in winter and you want to live near downtown, close by to historic centre. If you got the money or prefer cleanliness over location — it’s definetely not your choice

Near good restaurant & bus stop Pretty clean, decent size Very friendly housekeeper

Polite stuff, always there to assist. Checkin was easy. I totally recommend.

Very good , comfortable hotel , cheapest price for this location

We are foreigners and the check in and check out went smooth even tho the front desk ladies couldn’t speak English. It is obv in the room and lobby that the building is quiet old. The room is accurate with the photos also, it was overall a good stay.
