My stay at The Presidential Beijing was a mixed bag. While the location was fantastic and the breakfast had a great variety, the overall experience was somewhat disappointing. The room's comfort was undermined by dated furnishings and issues with the air conditioning, which reportedly couldn't be used in March. However, the staff were pleasant and helpful throughout my visit.

The hotel has a nice gym and pool, which my kids enjoyed. However, the lounge area was uncomfortable due to limited seating available only for those ordering drinks.

My stay at The Presidential Beijing was a mix of highs and lows. The central location was fantastic, providing easy access to public transport and attractions. However, the room conditions and service left much to be desired.

My first room had a faulty door and the air conditioning just didn’t work properly. After two room changes, I ended up in a slightly larger room, but it still didn’t cool down enough. The furnishings felt outdated, which was disappointing for a '5-star' hotel.

While some staff members were accommodating, the attitude from the front desk was strange. I felt brushed off when requesting a room change. It seems they were overwhelmed, likely due to a high volume of requests.

Facilities included solid room service and a gym that was hardly busy. However, the overall structure felt older, and there was a charge for activities like ping pong, which felt a bit off for a hotel of this caliber.

I had a pleasant stay at The Presidential Beijing, with friendly staff and a cozy atmosphere. However, the building shows its age, with some musty odors in the hallways and bathrooms. The location is decent for access to public transport and nearby shopping, but it feels a bit removed from the main attractions of the city.
