The hotel is beautiful, clean, and very comfortable. The location is excellent, especially for those visiting Universal Beijing Resort, as it is very convenient to get to the theme park.
The staff were friendly, helpful, and welcoming. The room was spacious, well-maintained, and had everything we needed for a relaxing stay after a long day at the park.
Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Universal Beijing Resort. We would love to come back again!

The hotel is very beautiful, and the staff speak English very well. The swimming pool is spacious, and the amenities are complete and flawless. The only downside is that some items in the room did not work, such as the weighing scale. Overall, I will definitely come back to stay again.

Very accessible location, just a few steps away from Wangfujing. Although the hotel is kinda old, rooms and facilities were very clean and staff were friendly and helpful despite language barrier. Tried their breakfast buffet and it was so good with ample choices.

What to know before visiting Beijing
What to expect in Beijing
Beijing draws visitors for Theme parks, Tours and Museums across a year that swings between a strong spring peak and much quieter late summer and autumn. Klook booking data shows demand surging in April and remaining high through May and June, driven by family-friendly Theme parks and guided Tours; Museums and Historical sites keep steady interest outside the busiest months. If you want lively festival-style crowds and full attraction schedules, plan for spring; aim for quieter months if you prefer smaller crowds. All figures are from Klook booking data.
Best months to visit Beijing
April is the clearest attendance peak while August is the quietest month, according to Klook booking data; demand rises sharply into April and stays above typical through June, then drops into very quiet levels from August to October. Prices meanwhile fall from a summer high: the median paid on Klook peaks in July and drifts down to the lowest point in May and June. If you want lower prices and smaller crowds, consider May–June; for peak-season atmosphere choose April or July.
| Month | Demand Level | Typical Price |
|---|---|---|
| January | About average | USD 44 |
| February | Very quiet | USD 27 |
| March | Quieter than usual | USD 23 |
| April | Peak demand | USD 19 |
| May | Peak demand | USD 18 |
| June | Peak demand | USD 18 |
| July | Busier than usual | USD 46 |
| August | Very quiet | USD 39 |
| September | Very quiet | USD 40 |
| October | Very quiet | USD 41 |
| November | About average | USD 41 |
| December | About average | USD 44 |
Demand is bookings in that month compared with a typical month, from historical Klook booking data, grouped into the demand levels above; typical price is the median paid on Klook in that month; prices are shown with their currency code. Based on Klook booking data, July 2025 – June 2026.
Where to stay in Beijing
Klook booking data shows Huairou as the most affordable typical area and Xicheng as the priciest by nightly hotel median. Typical nightly rates on Klook are around USD 86 in Huairou and USD 116 in Xicheng, a gap of roughly 26% between the two. Cheaper districts tend to suit travellers prioritising budget and relaxed local character, while pricier districts suit those seeking higher-end hotels and central-style accommodation. Use these typical nightly rates from Klook booking data when choosing the vibe and budget that suit you.
Planning tips for travellers
Most travellers on Klook book about 8 days ahead, with the earliest planners booking around 19 days out, so allow a week or two of planning for popular experiences. Because April is a peak month and July shows the highest median prices, locking in must-see activities earlier in those months is wise; in quieter months you can be more flexible. Book experiences on Klook to secure typical prices and confirmed slots from the platform’s booking data, and consider earlier booking for peak-month dates to avoid sell-outs.
