A stone's throw from Beijing Railway Station, this small and slightly tattered three-star is ideal for those arriving late from the station or looking to catch an early train. Rooms are small for the price and renovations long overdue; however, staff is friendly, and after years of struggling to comprehend the broad accents of Intrepid Tours groups, their English is passable. "Luxury" rooms
(haohua jian) are nearly double the size of standard rooms and come with bathtubs -- well worth the extra ¥100 ($13/£6.65). Ask for a quieter room on an upper floor facing the west side, as the railway area is predictably rowdy.
