Detailed Reviews
Background: Named after the Beijing district of the same name, the Chong Wen Men Hotel was our tour group's jump-off point of a 21-day tour of China and Hong Kong. Built back in 1978 as a business hotel, it had a recent renovation in 2007.
PROS: Location... location... location is its best asset. Centrally located in Beijing, you couldn't ask for a better location. It is a leisurely 15-min walk to Tiananmen Square and the Forbidden City, a hop-skip-jump to Beijing's train station, Temple of Heaven and other POI's as well as a block away from the New World Shopping Mall, Beijing Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, KFC, McDonald's and Starbuck's. Having the intersecting subway lines 2 & 5 at its doorstep is a big plus, and being located along major Metro thoroughfares doesn't hurt either. (To my delight, a good find is Weiduomei Bakery & Café just around the corner.) Its next best asset is its excellent value. Ranging from £65 per night for a standard, single room up to £80 per night for a suite, it is of good value compared to its peers for its 3-star rating. The rooms are reasonably sized, clean and stocked with your standard 3-star amenities: TV, coffee/tea, hairdryer, water bottles, in-suite safe and even slippers. There is an in-house restaurant, bar (along with karaoke), free WiFi and 24-hour reception.
CONS: A few come to mind -- First, the bed mattress was downright hard (okay, firm) as if you're sleeping on the box springs. I've been told that this is standard among Beijing hotels as if mattress firmness was a government regulation. Second, the A/C was quite weak and the WiFi signal cannot reach the top floors. Third, service is a hit-or-miss affair. Although the Desk Manager (Mr. Ko Han) was quite helpful and accommodating (especially when checking me in at 2 AM), the reception staff with him were non-English speakers and were as stoic as Terra Cotta warriors! Lastly, the in-house bar could use better signage and publicity.
Verdict: A decent, middle-of-the-road discount hotel. Not bad, but not great either. But it makes it up with its excellent location and good value. I'm not such a fussy traveller. I wouldn't necessarily discourage you from choosing this hotel, just lower your expectations. Adequate for a few nights but, for much longer stays, there are better options in the city. Grade B+.

I stayed here at the start G Adventures tour and it's in a great location, right next to the metro. It is easy to catch the train from the airport. It was clean, comfortable, had free wifi and supplied bottled water. Ask for a non smoking floor. Not much English spoken but check in went smoothly.

I stayed here with a G adventures tour. So I probably would not have picked this place to stay in. Saying that it was not a bad option. it is very close to the subway and shops nearby. There is a few places to eat nearby and a good bakery around the corner. There is also a supermarket nearby where you can stock up on goods before a trip. The rooms are good, not luxurious but they have everything you need. The bathroom was clean and functional. Maybe a little noisy seeing as the place is near a big street junction. It was a typical Chinese hotel that you will see in almost every part of the country. I would have no issues staying here again. Good pick by G adventures overall I must say. I didn't eat here so no idea what the food was like. If you could get a deal with the hotel It would be a very good option.

Hotel is in a very good location
Rooms are small but reasonable size
The rooms are not clean, the carpet is very dirty
The bathroom is very moldy
The bed has been made poorly and is very hard, pillows are very good
There is a weird plastic crate thing in the shower you stand on that hurts your feet, the shower is broken and the water from the sink comes back up through shower drain and floods bathroom
Other people in my group had far worse rooms than me and hotel were very reluctant to move to other room

The hotel was centrally located which was terrific as it was next to the subway & within walking distance to many Tourist spots but if feel that the breakfasts left a lot to be desired. What was set out on the tables we have still not been able to work out, and we only went for breakfast once then bought our own from the supermarket. Also when you have a bottle of water that says compliments of the hotel you certainly dont expect to pay for it as we had to on checking out. Other than those few things very happy we the hotel.

I stayed here as part of a G Adventures tour group so did no research ahead of booking, but I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of this hotel.
The location is fantastic; there is Chongwenmen metro station right next to the hotel entrance which is on two of the major Beijing subway lines meaning you can access pretty much anywhere from here with little hassle. Also the Forbidden City and Tienanmen Square are around a twenty minute walk from the hotel, although most people would choose to get there by public transport. Conveniently there are a good amount of supermarkets and restaurants within a few minutes walk (including a few western places such as Starbucks and McDonald's).
The hotel itself was more than adequate for what we needed. The rooms were sufficiently clean and spacious (the bathroom was one of the biggest on the tour), and the only complaint I had was that it did get very warm even in spring when it wasn't too hot outside. I'm happy to put that down to me not being able to figure out the AC. The staff were helpful and although spoke limited English did try their best to answer any questions that we had or generally help out.

First stop on a recent G Adventures tour and it's in a great location, right next to the metro and close to loads of shops. A taxi from the airport will cost in the region of 100 yuan and will take around 40 minutes to drive. The beds were ok and the shower was decent, but I found the room a little tight for two to share. Wifi was available and had a decent signal strength (I was on floor 10). There's also a nice viewing platform on floor 6.

The rooms were ok. The hotel was fine. Wifi only in the downstairs lobby. But my main memories are the toilet on the ground floor was in a disgusting state for a hotel and stayed like that for the whole day. When "queuing" to check out the Chinese people push past and staff serve everyone else first and leave the tourists standing there for what was almost an hour. Very rude staff and not a good start to my your of china with g adventures. (Although did experience worse on my travels!)

Good location hotel with clean twin room on 7th floor. Smell of smoke in corridor though. Did not eat any food in hotel but hotel bakery next door was good.
Reception staff were friendly but very poor wifi. Complimentary water in rooms and good TV channels in English. Hot water and good power shower in bathroom.

Stayed as part of a gadventure tour. Decent room; clean and reasonable size. Good location right by Exit H of the Chongwenmen subway station and close to cafes, bakeries, banks and restaurants. The breakfast is expensive so try the nearby coffee shops/bakeries. Front desk staff had good English and were helpful. The maintenance staff were excellent - our shower wasn't working properly when we first checked in and they fixed it immediately, same story when the in-room safe malfunctioned (one of the few hotels we experienced in China that has functioning safes). Decent budget plus hotel.

Yes. Catch the airport express line into Beijing and change. Very simple and well signed
Yes nearby this hotel you can find a few supermarkets and there is a warehouse all aprox. 5 min walking distancd. There are also some nice restaurants nearby where you can find food for a very cheap price and very healthy. Dont worry because there are also western style restaurants and in the supermarket you can find a lot of western food.
