Jingmin Hotel

Beijing

A perfect, national hotel with lots of locals. But... it doesn't meet international standards because the rooms are poorly cleaned, the carpet is poor, and the interior and technology are old-fashioned. The hotel staff don't speak any language other than Chinese. Be prepared to go around with transportation and Chinese breakfast (completely different from Western). At first it's pretty good, but the craving for coffee quickly becomes obvious (there's no point, point).

Jing Min Daxia

A perfectly "national" hotel with frequent nationals. But... not at international standards because rooms have problems with cleaning, bad carpet, and old-fashioned interiors and technologies. Hotel staff DOES NOT speak another foreign language, only Chinese. Be prepared to deal with transportation and with Chinese-only breakfast (which is totally different from Western), at the beginning pretty good but craving for coffee etc becomes obvious (and they don't have it period).

It's a very traditional hotel with local guests, but... it's not up to international standards because the rooms have problems with cleaning, the carpet is bad, the furnishings and the equipment are old-fashioned. The staff of the hotel doesn't speak foreign languages, only Chinese. Get ready for the moves and for the traditional Chinese breakfast (it's fundamentally different from the western breakfast), at first you like it, but then you start to clearly want coffee (and they don't have it at all).

The rooms haven't been vacuumed in weeks, and the carpet couldn't have been steam cleaned in the past 12 months.  If you want an inexpensive place and don't care about living in filth, this is the hotel for you.  
Pros:  5 minute walk to the subway line; 5 minute walk to Carrefour if you want to buy water and snacks.  Eating places all around, 2-5 minute walk. Very close to Bird's Nest/Olympic Park.
Cons: just unacceptably dirty.

A dump

We (my wife and I)-non native english speakers-made reservations over the internet via Sinohotels-(2 people, 1 room) for a conference in Beijing. We received the confirmation for a deluxe room in Jingming Hotel, with double bed (260 RMB -33 USD). I though it was a fair price for a 3 star hotel.  Before we flew to Beijing, we sent a fax to the hotel, with the confirmation number on it, and ask the hotel to keep the room in case of a flight delay. There was a delay in the flight in Dubai, as expected, and we reached the hotel via Sinohotels once again to keep the reservation and got the confirmation in Dubai. Finally we made to the hotel at 1:00 am, the room was ready with a single bed! The receptionist tried to say that the reservation was made for a single bed room and doubled the price! So we called Sinohotels by my cellular phone, paying hauling charges! Sinohotel seem to be surprised, and they said single bed in a deluxe room was not possible for two people, but the receptionist was not convinced he was asking for something like 60 USD for two. Talking to someone by showing the confirmation fax-with clearly marked 2 people-1room-deluxe-double bed- who does not understand English in the middle of the night is not amusing. So I agreed to pay and extra 60 RMB (about 8 USD) after some negotiation, for one night , for a double bed room and told them that I am not staying in the hotel for the rest of my trip (7 nights). This whole episode took about an hour and a half with non-english speaker receptionist. We went to bed around 3:00 am!

The room was in bad shape: stain and very dirty unvacumed carpet, fainted walls and chipped paint, used and repack soap (no joking), half shampoo and shower gel!, dirty pillows-my wife ended up using her jacket as the pillow case. The staff started to make noise early in the morning, after 5 to 6 hour sleep, hearing every phone ring, shootings from the corridor while employees communicate, etc. at 8:30 there a was a knock on the door employees holding dirty cloths to my face and saying `cleaning`.

So sleep was not an option any more-shower time-but there were no tub in the shower, so the water was on the floor before traveling to the sink hole. I must mention the sink was blocked and delayed drainage was leaking to the floor.  There was one more futile attempt on our side-I paid 12 RMB (1.5 USD) to Jing Ming mansion business center! get the fax which was sent to me while we were looking for another hotel. At the end, I took a quick shower and then we left to an excellent hotel (Kaikang international  hotel) for something like 20 dollars more.

This is the truth nothing but the truth-no exaggerations-the next day (today) we were laughing to what was going on after a long, delayed and sleepless 48 hours to china-via Dubai.
