Excellent location.
Hotel with old world charm, but badly needs a fresh coat of paint. It would’ve been grand in its hey days. Room was big. Location excellent. Cleanliness - needs improvement as room was dusty. The worse thing is, I found a cotton bud on the pillow and many stray hairs.

Historical hotel next to the forbidden city
Extraordinary hotel. I stayed in a heritage room, with a bedroom, a lounge, a bathroom, a shower room and a toilet. The bed was extremely comfortable. The building is historical and has lots of character. Above all, staff is exceptional. Ksenia and Sky speak good English and took a very good care of me booking taxis checking opening hours and providing recommendations. Extremely good service.

The facilities are well managed. Many staffs have been making efforts. But if you are looking for a true accessible room, this hotel may not be the best choice. Simple because the hotel was built prior to the consideration of the disabled population, the availability of accessible room is very slim.

Good hotel with lots of character & helpful staff
The hotel is in a fantastic location. The staff are great, especially the concierge who are help to make the trip as smooth as possible... The only challenge is that the room (a heritage room in this case) was so warm. Seemed the air con wasn't working and only blowing forced air. Although the room had a balcony the door couldn't be opened to let cool air in. However, on the last day of the stay the air quality was so bad you wouldn't want the door open. Great place, just need to get the air con sorted......

Excellent service!
Our stay at Beijing Nuo was fantastic. In particular, the staff made our time in Beijing easy to navigate and hassle free. We want to thank Luke Wang for being extraordinarily helpful in organising day trips for us from the hotel, and providing us with travel advice and tips. We also want to thank Sky for his expedient booking of taxis and concierge service. They have gone above and beyond. Would stay here again.

Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities
I chose this property mainly because of its historical and nostalgic ambience where early Chinese leaders had stayed or met foreign leaders. Despite the public areas of the hotel being well kept, the guest room looked tired with peeled wallpaper, chipped furniture, only rain shower and bath but not any hand-held shower. The room requires complete renovation to provide a comfortable stay experience. The reception is terrible. We had prepaid our rooms which was confirmed at the time of check in, but when we checked out early in the morning at 5.30 am to catch our flight, the reception staff claimed that he could not confirm our prepayment with their Accounts Department at such early time and we were charged again. I wonder why our prepayment had not already been recorded in their system in the first place. This incident of double payment did not happen in the other four hotels we had prepaid for our entire China trip. All in all, it was an unpleasant stay given the price we paid at AUD284 per night. My experience in the hotel destroyed my fond perception of this historical and nostagic property.

Amazing hotel in central location
We stayed in the historical wing of the hotel and it was a very large and comfortable room (although very warm!), and the hotel is as close to the forbidden city as you can get (and has a metro station very close as well). The staff were friendly and the breakfast had plenty of options as well

It is v near to shoppong disyruct of wangfujin. It's like 5 mins walk to wangfujin train station. The hotle has two wings- the older wing faces the back alleyway. Rooms are bigger. Was told that the newer wing that faces changan street and rooms were renovated bwfore Covid-19. The rooms are smaller/ standard but probably might be newer. On the website yhe hotel premise looks huge and sprawling but I hardly see cored around. May not be a bad thing though. Oh yes, hotel wifi somehow is not secure and doesn't seem to work. Most tomes we had to switch ot off and used our data plan instead.
