I spent a week at this hotel. It was fine, but not a 5 star hotel as advertised; it is closer to 3 stars. It is located on the Peking University campus, so if you have business with the university, it is your best choice. With traffic what it is in Beijing, it is hard to go wrong with a... More

Travel in Beijing as we all know is a challenge even under the best of the times, a true menace at others. So finding nice accomodation next to where you plan on being is s strategic imperative. Hence if your travel takes you to Beijing University, Tsingua university, other academic institues, or high tech parks in the vicinty then the... More

As has been mentioned often, this is an excellent hotel when visiting the Peking University. Spacious, modern rooms. Large bathroom with both a tub and a walk-in shower. Breakfast (both Western and Chinese) was OK, nothing spectacular. Very good service, in my experience everyone spoke English at least moderately well, some much better. If you are not visiting the PKU,... More

Positives 1) Five minutes walk from NE gate or East gate of PKU. 2) Large very comfortable rooms with excellent house keeping. 3) Nice internal garden views (Lake view is impossible . There is a lake in PKU but impossible to see from the hotel.) 4) Excellent buffet breakfast offering both Western and Chinese food. Negatives 1) Staff willing but... More

As other reviewers have noted, this is a good choice for those visiting Peking U. Otherwise, it is rather remote from major sites and conveniences. I vacillated between a good versus very good rating. The hotel itself has amenities one would expect of a business class hotel. We stayed in a standard room which was spacious and had no problems...

The Lakeview (also called the Boya) hotel was likely quite grand a few years ago. It is now showing its age. Given it’s price point, unless you have business at PKU or Tsinghua, I would skip this hotel and choose something that is either more convenient or that is better maintained. Pros: The Lakeview hotel is quite convenient if you... More

I stayed at this hotel from July 10 - 20, 2011. It was a great location for me as I was going to Peking University for some classes. It is very close to the summer palace; if you want to visit other cultural sites, they are far away. There are not many shops and restaurants very close by. The East... More

Based on previous stay in Beijing, we did not expect too much from our hotel. We were pelasantly surprised. The hotel is not huge. It is nicely decorated. People were always nice and helpful. At the end of the day, the chinese restaurant at the hotel was the place where we had the best meal during our two weeks trip... More

A comfortable if somewhat generic quality hotel complete with beige walls and floors, beige lighting etc. Its what you would expect from a good hotel anywhere in the USA for example, large, roomy, all the facilities - topped with very attentive local staff. Overall I could not find fault with the hotel service and facilities, then again there is not... More
