Metropark Lido Hotel Beijing

There are several restaurants, cafes and eateries within and around the hotel, so you are in no trouble finding food at any time of the day if your booking is w/o breakfast or full board. The indoors swimming pool is a nice facility, open from as early as 6am until 11pm, towels, swimming caps are provided on the spot, courtesy of the hotel. The pool itself is tiny (15m on the outside) but it is mostly void of people so you can swim diagonally to get more mileage out of it. After a day of heavy duty sightseeing a foot massage is a blessing, there is a parlour on the premises, a bit on the pricy side though, but it is worth every penny. The hotel houses a number of other private entrepreneurs and the tea shop might be worth a visit. I am not doing this lengthy review mind you in the hope of any reimbursement, but because I still have a jet leg and find nothing else to do in the middle of the night, thank you very much 😊

Room- Very comfortable, with single beds big enough to fit two persons, with a nice sitting area, a spacious bathroom and all the toiletries and other accessories included. The hygiene is at a very high level. Location- the hotel is some 10 minutes walk from the closest metro station, Jiangtai station, and to reach the city center (the area around the Tiananmen square), it takes about 30-40min at least with all the walks and transfers. The area around the hotel is quiet, with many small, local shops and restaurants. The bus station is right in front of the hotel. Breakfast- the food was fresh and well prepared, there were many meals from Chinese cuisine, but there were continental meals as well (pastry, fruit, eggs, various stuff to make sandwiches, and similar)

I stayed at the hotel for 2 nights. Due to traveling, I've seen lots of hotels in my life. Why does the Metro Lido standout? The staff! I love when people working at the hotel care about the guests! Literally 24 hours, even when I was going outside for a cigarette at night, the staff at the reception was asking if I needed a help! Some of them speaks good ENG, some of them can translate via Apps and it's quite easy to communicate with them! They make quite strong americano and also they have a restaurant on the 1st floor, they make really good bolognese! Amazing! There is a metro station at 8 min walk from the hotel. Place is very quiet, so you will sleep peacefully. Room was quite big for my expectations! During the 2nd day, the cleaning team came and wanted to clean but I said it was clean already, they were really sweet and asked me if there was even one part of the room dirty so they could clean it! Absolutely perfect experience! Thank you! PS. There are shops opposite side of the hotel, so you'll buy anything you want in just few minutes!

Spacious room with twin beds each about 120 cm wide. Beautiful pool, recently renovated sauna area. Great value breakfast at 88 CNY/person or even less depending on the booking. Bank of China branch and Starbucks at the back, and beyond that a small supermarket with a great choice of useful Chinese and western foodstuff and necessities. And it's the starting point of Beijing Hikers' excursions to the "Wild" Great Wall!

Location for the purpose of my trip was perfect. Considering it’s been around for a long time, the facilities remain in good conditions. The fitness center also had all necessary equipment with good amount of space. Plenty of options for bars and restaurants in the area as well.
