It is a great choice to stay at an apartment hotel in Beijing instead of a regular hotel if you travel with family, especially if you have small children. First, the total cost is less if you need two or moor regular hotel rooms. Second, you have room for kids to play/running around. You can also do your laundry. The apartment is pretty clean as well, although the smoke-free units are not truly smoke-free. Another thing we like is the location. It is very close to Dong-zhi-men subway station. There are stores, banks, restaurants around too. The bakery downstairs of Ginza mall is pretty good as well. You may also find imported dairy products such as milk at the grocery store at the mall.What I did not like was that there was no place nearby to get breakfast in the morning. The hotel did not provide enough silverware (it only had two spoons, two knives, two forks and four glasses) and cooking utensils and no dishwasher. The washing machine is slow and noisy.The hotel will be closed soon for remodeling.
Convenient location with only a short walk to a metro stop, where you can also catch a train to the airport. The office staff spoke quite good English. The rooms and bathroom were clean and definitely more western than a lot of other hotels. Not too many restaurants immediately nearby, but having the kitchen was very nice when you didn''t want to go out. Kitchen is only stocked with the most basic of essentials though.

用户RO****对北京东环广场国际公寓 点评
We stayed in a 2 rooms appartment for 2 nights ; it was just perfect. The appartments are very big with a big living-room.Around the plaza, there are many different restaurants and it is 10 min walk to the Yashow Clothes Market.In the basement, there is a supermarket where we can buy food and supplies.
The hotel is good for a family vacation. The price is affordable and location is closed to subway (5-10 minutes walk). Hwoever, the wash machine was not functional and needs to wait for swaping a good one. We are sure the towels are changed everyday untile we asked for changes. Overall, it is OK to stay for a long vacation.
