it was very pleasant, very nice staff, welcoming and tried very hard to meat my needs. But it was hard to explain myself because of language barrier. A great place to stay at an affordable price is the Beijing Sentury Apartment Hotel, with 300 rooms and suites on 23 floors. Accommodations range from a one bedroom with a king-sized bed to VIP business suites that will accommodate the lone adventurer, family vacation, or jet-setting businessperson and make them feel at right at home. Spacious and luxurious, the one bedroom suite allows for a separation of work and slumber with the outer room containing many amenities such as a kitchenette, but an added washing machine is a welcome bonus. The remaining six days of my stay were spent in a king-size bedroom with a kitchenette containing a microwave, mini-fridge, sink, plates, bowls with chopsticks, coffee maker, plenty of cabinets for any food items and a dining table with chairs. Rooms also have broadband internet connection, excellent air-conditioning ( a must for the summer), closets, reasonably sized bathrooms with showers, a big screen TV (with some international channels) and a wide bay window with an excellent view. If you have any problems with the internet, tell the front desk and they will send someone to your room ASAP to resolve your issue
