  sólo para estetas

  Escribo este comentario tras leer por casualidad las críticas tan negativas que recibe este hotel. De acuerdo que al precio que cuesta una noche en el Red Capital Residence uno puede conseguir una enorme habitación sin personalidad en un super-hotel de 28 pisos y 1200 habitaciones, pero para aquellos que buscan un sitio especial éste es seguramente uno de los hoteles más encantadores de todo el planeta. La habitación en la que estuvimos (la de la concubina del oeste, creo que se llamaba) era pequeña, poco luminosa y sin ninguna vista, pero a cambio tienes la oportunidad de dormir sumergido en una atmósfera evocadora, rodeado de muebles tradicionales chinos, todo con una decoración exquisita y que considero como parte imprescindible de mi recuerdo de los 5 días maravillosos que pasé en Pekín. El hotel dispone de sólo 5 habitaciones alrededor de un pequeño patio (es la antigua residencia de un personaje cuya historia he olvidado) y entiendo que para mucha gente el sitio resulte un fiasco. No dispone de gimnasio, ni conexión a internet, y el desayuno es sólo correcto, pero a cambio dispone de un encantador refugio antinuclear (no miento) donde se puede paladear una cerveza mientras se ¿disfruta? de una impagable película musical china de los años 50. Hay que tener muy claro qué es lo que queremos de un hotel y qué precio estamos dispuestos a pagar por ello. El Red Capital es caro desde cualquier punto de vista, pero también lo es el caviar y para mucha gente no deja de ser unas bolitas gelatinosas con sabor a pescado. Como dice el refrán: "no está hecha la miel..."

  Unpleasant experience

  I recently had to travel to Beijing, China for business. Since it was my first visit to China, I wanted to experience it first hand. This included not making a reservation at a mainstream hotel. But boy did this backfire big time! Although the staff are extremely helpful and friendly, I just couldnt look past the bad state the hotel (if one can call it a hotel) is in. Right on top of my list of complaints would be the disgusting sewerage smell that greeted me when I entered my room (and the staff couldnt sort out the problem). My other criticism includes a blocked shower outlet, bad state of the furniture, no clothes cabinet in room, aircon malfunction, very basic breakfast (coffee, yogurt and an egg) and the general hygienic state of the facility. On the up side, there are few decent local restaurants in the area to choose from.

  For history

  Honestly speaking, this wasn't a place for comfortable staying. If you don't know the history or the culture you probably find this place rather disappointing. This place is the former residence of Yoshiko Kawashima, who was a princess of Qing Dynasty and a espionage of Japan during early 18th. Furnitures there all got strong history background. Not suitable for those who looking for exotic experience, visit for the real history.

  Tranquil metropolitan location

  Stayed for three nights weekdays. The hotel standards are were basic. Small breakfast, appliances not working very well (AC, TV, hot water where somehow randomly functioning). But the atmosphere is excellent. They have an underground bar accessible only on invitation, which gives you a nostalgic impression of Beijing. Also the furniture is very old - fashioned and classy. You have to ring a bell to get inside. Reception is 24 hrs open though. Location is 10 minutes away from metro. You can walk to most important city sights within 45 minutes. Great hot pots in the area. Very recommendable!

  Great location - room needs painting

  We stayed for 5 nights - loved the location and proximity to a high street with excellent restaurants. An amazing cultural experience for my family. Staff were VERY helpful and accommodating - and in general the facility was good. Our room was in desperate need of a painting - so it tarnished an otherwise fantastic experience. DISAPPOINTING
