ibis Beijing Dongdaqiao Hotel 3 stars

The smell of tobaco was overwhelming on our floor ( 3rd ),nearly made us sick,,no attempt to implement the no smoking policy was made,,on one occasion a man entered the lobby with a cigarette in his mouth and it was only after I complained to the desk person he was told to go outside....My son lives in Beijing but would never stay here again which is a shame as I have staid at Ibis hotels before and found them very good value....broken toilet seat didn't help either..

Situated conveniently between two subway stations that provide access to lines 6 and 10, a 7-11 convenience store next door, and a number of places to eat. Reception was efficient - checking in and checking out. The elevator requires your room key so this provides an extra level of security. The rooms were comfortable and clean. Wi-Fi was very patchy. When traveling we depend a lot on wi-fi to stay in touch with family, to arrange travel and hotel bookings, etc. So the quality of wi-fi usually has a direct impact upon the quality of our stay at the hotel. My experience with wi-fi at this hotel was not good.

Rooms were in need of refurbishment and I didn't appreciate the prostitute cards outside my room door each night. Reasonably clean and very comfortable bed and pillows but tea bags and plastic cups were not replaced each day. The location is ideal and not too far to walk to the subway which is the fastest and best value travel in Beijing.

IBIS Beijing is the worst IBIS that i ever stayed: no heating, smelly room, laundry stocked behind the reception,mustiness... bad maintenance. IBIS China is not the same as IBIS France or IBIS Thailand. But IBIS Dongdaqiao is not the worst, the worst IBIS should be IBIS Jinshajiang, Shanghai(Kaixuan Rd). My taxi driver can not enter the street which is covered by the scaffolding, the hotel is nearby the tramway, which is very noisy. It is impossible to sleep in this hotel. I didn't enter into this IBIS. Very bad experience. NEVER NEVER NEVER IBIS in China.

Great location, accurate map and address, clean, quiet. We really enjoyed our stay. It's best to have a good English map of Beijing, the hotel staff are not really good at giving directions. But there are great massage centers around to enjoy.
