Palace of Gathered Elegance Tours and Activities

The room was nice. Very small compaired to the pictures but well kept and clean. The biggest issue we had was finding the hotel. The taxi driver did not drop us off in the correct location for one but the address listed in expedia was not correct. So hopefully this will soon be remedied for future travelers. We were getting dropped off on the backside but there was no sinage or entance we could find. So ended up walking through the alleys and blocks until we finaaly found it.

The double room was super tiny. 2 little drawers for storage and no place to even put a suitcase. Cramped for 2 or more people.

The hotel is located directly behind the Dengshikou subway station exit, very convenience.  We took a local tour and it happened that the morning meeting point was exactly at that particular exit, so it's just a 1-min walk from the hotel, no stress! There is also a 24-hour convenience store across the hotel to buy water & snacks. Huge bonus, especially if you're visiting during hot summer, the hotel comes with a self-service laundry facility and they even include the detergent! Being able to easily wash all those sweaty clothes was a lfiesaver, especially in our case that we still had 8 more days in other cities after Beijing. Breakfast was pretty decent with a lot of variety. AC in the room can be better though. Room is spacious, but pillows can be slightly thicker. One of our rooms was definitely warmer than the other despite turning on the AC continuously for many hours but the hotel staff didn't seem to believe us. It's still an amazing experience overall, would love to stay there again.
