Beijing Hotel NUO Forbidden City

What guests think

Across recent reviews, travellers praise Beijing Hotel NUO Forbidden City for its unbeatable central location near Tiananmen, the Forbidden City and Wangfujing, consistently helpful staff, and generally spacious rooms that deliver old‑world character alongside modern conveniences.

Common drawbacks include dated or worn rooms in the older wing, occasional maintenance and cleanliness lapses, winter heating that can run hot with limited temperature control, and intermittent Wi‑Fi. Breakfast is frequently described as generous and varied, though a few guests found the quality uneven or on-site dining options limited. Overall, expect a historic, service-forward stay best for sightseeing convenience.

The facilities are well managed. Many staffs have been making efforts. But if you are looking for a true accessible room, this hotel may not be the best choice. Simple because the hotel was built prior to the consideration of the disabled population, the availability of accessible room is very slim.

酒店的地理環境一流，拐彎就是王府井大街。酒店門前就有一個地鐵站。但很遺憾的事，酒店房間設備殘破不堪。我還是第一次入住這樣子的五星級酒店。衣架生鏽而且有個別是壞的。房間的電插頭都是鬆的，我早上起床才發生手機根本沒有充電。洗手間的門無法關上，牆紙破舊。挨著床頭板時候頭皮會發癢。而且房間都充滿著煙味。好失望。

The hotel is one of the first in Beijing. Although it is older the feel is clean and elegant. Dining is limited but there are plenty of places nearby. My only critical comment is that there was no morning take out coffee anywhere. I had to go about 2 blocks to Starbucks.

This hotel is 100 years old and you can imagine when you step in how grandiose was in its prime. Today’s day probably needs a lot of touch ups to keep it up but still keeping that “old world” feeling. The room was very big and well decorated. The room had an interesting smell ( probably the wall paper and maybe the drapes should be replaced to freshen up the room)

Hotel with old world charm, but badly needs a fresh coat of paint. It would’ve been grand in its hey days. Room was big. Location excellent. Cleanliness - needs improvement as room was dusty. The worse thing is, I found a cotton bud on the pillow and many stray hairs.

It is v near to shoppong disyruct of wangfujin. It's like 5 mins walk to wangfujin train station. The hotle has two wings- the older wing faces the back alleyway. Rooms are bigger. Was told that the newer wing that faces changan street and rooms were renovated bwfore Covid-19. The rooms are smaller/ standard but probably might be newer. On the website yhe hotel premise looks huge and sprawling but I hardly see cored around. May not be a bad thing though. Oh yes, hotel wifi somehow is not secure and doesn't seem to work. Most tomes we had to switch ot off and used our data plan instead.

The location is very central. It's right next to a subway station, just a few blocks way from the Tiananmen square and within walking distance from the Forbidden city. The staff, Lucky, James and Amber are very helpful and nice. However, the TVs are small, shower drain and hinge were a bit rusty, the heater was not controlable, and light switches were not labeled. Overall, it's really good for the price

I chose this property mainly because of its historical and nostalgic ambience where early Chinese leaders had stayed or met foreign leaders. Despite the public areas of the hotel being well kept, the guest room looked tired with peeled wallpaper, chipped furniture, only rain shower and bath but not any hand-held shower. The room requires complete renovation to provide a comfortable stay experience. The reception is terrible. We had prepaid our rooms which was confirmed at the time of check in, but when we checked out early in the morning at 5.30 am to catch our flight, the reception staff claimed that he could not confirm our prepayment with their Accounts Department at such early time and we were charged again. I wonder why our prepayment had not already been recorded in their system in the first place. This incident of double payment did not happen in the other four hotels we had prepaid for our entire China trip. All in all, it was an unpleasant stay given the price we paid at AUD284 per night. My experience in the hotel destroyed my fond perception of this historical and nostagic property.

Un bellissimo hotel con una posizione eccezionale. È vicinissimo alla piazza Tien’anmen e alla città proibita che sono raggiungibili a piedi. Ha due stazione metro comodissime. Ed è a un passo dalla via dei negozi Wangfujing. Gli spazi comuni dell’hotel sono magnifici. Le stanze molto grandi. Magari qualche aggiornamento al bagno e al sistema di controllo delle luci sarebbe necessario ma resta un hotel eccezionale, per livello di servizi e posizione.

The location of the hotel was excellent and proximity to touristic places. Room is spacious, clean and comfortable. Minor hiccup during check-in process in the, but overall was ok. Breakfast buffet was a bit of a disappointment even though there were selection for the price. Only enjoyable food was the chocolate croissant. There is need to raise the breakfast buffet standard to an international level as a premium hotel. Would like to thank a female lobby ambassador staff for her hospitality.
