Penta Hotel Beijing

We stayed at the Penta Hotel in Beijing

Hotel lobby


Our room


We were very impressed with this hotel. The lobby is stunning, the employees were gracious and helpful, and our room was comfortable with all the amenities we could ask for. We had heard that you shouldn't drink the tap water in China, and our room included a pot to boil water. We opted for bottled water instead, but it was a nice inclusion. We had to pay for internet in their business center, but that was in 2011 so it's possible they have added wifi since then.

This reservation was booked as part of a vacation package, so we didn't deal with the staff much other than checking in and out, but they handled our large group of over 30 quickly and efficiently. Most spoke English, so we were able to ask questions and get any help we needed.

The location of the hotel, as far as we could tell, was great. Beijing is such a huge city that it's hard to know what the best location would be. We were near a variety of food options, and it never took long to get anywhere we wanted to go. For most of our activities, we were with our tour group and didn't have to figure out transportation ourselves, but the few times we ventured off on our own we were able to find a taxi easily and get where we wanted to go.

Definitely an option to consider if you're going to be in Beijing!
