Typically a university hotel, often used for university guests, in Haidian. The compound and facade look offputting, but inside it's quite good, especially the rooms. There is lots of space, and while a classic Second World look prevails, the only deficit my colleagues had - not me - is that during the transition times between summer and winter (or vv), the aircon is switched off, yet rooms get suffocatingly hot from the sun and quite cold at night. Breakfast is above average, especially the fresh stuffed pancakes. No swimming pool, unfortunately. Location is very good for the purpose, right next to the Tsinghua science park which has a lot of cafes and restaurants. Didi finds the place easily, both for pickup and dropoff. Leaving luggage after checkout (which is anyway only at noon) was not a problem and well-managed. In sum, if you stay here and read this, you're likely a non-Chinese university guest, and in this case, it is only advisable to check which side of the hotel your room is on if you're here during the transition period.

You're undoubtedly staying at this hotel because you're visiting the universities and its absolutely ideally located for that. It is a bit tatty around the edges in the rooms, but all things you might end up finding in a European chain hotel as well. The corner Executive rooms are huge - I was upgraded to one of these because they couldn't immediately accommodate me with an early check in. The a/c was still on in September and it just about coped, room maybe ~23C. The staff had quite enough English for me to check in / out, order some food and drink, find the gym, what more are people after? The gym is small, 3 treadmills, one bike, some weights, and you get to it via a mystery tour through various conference rooms and the spa. Beware the slight freaky attendant who closely supervises you getting changed... All a bit comical,.

“Great Staff and a Nice Hotel”

We had a great experience at the Wenjin hotel. Even with the language barrier, staff were extremely helpful and always went out of their way to try and assist you with your requests. The breakfast offers a great menu and all fo the food was fresh and good, including the fruit and salads. The two traditional Chinese restaurants are also very good at the hotel. The room was very nice and was cleaned daily. I would recommend this hotel to anyone visiting this area of town.
