Xitan Hotel Beijing

Service: Absolutely fantastic. Every staff member was incredibly proactive, always anticipating needs and resolving issues efficiently. They were quick to adjust plans, which made my stay very pleasant. They offered a different 'goodnight soup' each evening; it was a shame I was always too full from dinner to try it. I really loved the complimentary xiangyunsha pouch. Food: I tried both RB and Rongfu Banquet meals, and they were exceptionally delicious. The fruit quality was excellent. I returned to my room stuffed every night; the portions were quite generous. The environment was quiet, and breakfast hours were long, extending until past 1 PM. While the selection wasn't huge, the taste was great. I highly recommend the rice noodles. Room: The cleanliness was top-notch. The room itself was beautiful and very artistic, with a view of the distant mountains. Sitting in the courtyard in the morning listening to the birds was very relaxing. The overall environment was quiet, though the view wasn't as expansive as I'd hoped. The hotel offered a few small activities, which I enjoyed and found pleasant. I also appreciated the policy of not allowing children under 12 or pets. Now for a few minor drawbacks: Considering the holiday pricing, the room structure felt a bit small; it was long but not wide enough, making the living space slightly inadequate. The shower and bathtub frequently dripped, which sometimes disturbed my sleep. We didn't particularly like the visual effect of the wall behind the shower when the lights were off at night; it felt a bit uncomfortable. Also, the duvet made noise when turning over, which affected my sleep.
