Atour Hotel (Sanlitun Tuanjiehu Subway Station), Beijing

Our stay was great, location excellent, service in the lobby was fantastic. We highly recommend staying here as a short break in Beijing. We took a trip to see the great wall, the metro station was close and a short walk to some great restaurants and malls. Also close to the airport and Universal Studios was 35 mins didi.

Location is really very good. It's literally just a couple of steps from the subway. But I chose to use the didi everywhere. The location is near Sanlitun Taikooli shopping area but there are no convenient stores nearby. The service of the staff is excellent. BUT I did not find it acceptable that my room was still not ready at 7pm when check in is supposed to be at 3pm. The staff were very kind and polite to offer me complimentary breakfast as an apology but after a long flight, a ready and clean room was paramount. They did give me another room in the meantime but I didn't manage to use it as my room was finally ready. However, there was a bug on the white sheets, and the floor was still damp which should have been dried before the guest enters. I also ordered breakfast to be self collected at 730pm. I expected breakfast to be pickup and go, but had to still wait about 10 mins as it was only packed when I reached the front desk at 730am. Sigh. Is it a good and comfortable stay? Yes. Would I come back again? Probably not, but only because I prefer the WangFuJing area.
