Grand Skylight Catic Hotel, Beijing

The hotel had a convenient location near the Olympic stadium but had issues with room cleanliness, smelling of cigarette smoke. The dining options were exciting but the service was inconsistent. The facilities were typical but expensive, and the language barrier might be a challenge in communication.

The hotel rooms were in poor condition and badly needed an overhaul to meet the 4-star standard, with sticky floors and broken furniture; however, the location was great being near the Olympic Games area. The service was friendly but had limited English knowledge. The dining experience was satisfying and diverse. The hotel offered good value for the price.

The hotel rooms were in need of a serious overhaul to meet the 4-star standard, but they were clean and relatively quiet. The location was convenient for work and some conference centers, though not particularly exciting. The dining options were varied and enjoyable, though service could be inconsistent. The staff was helpful and accommodating, offering services like car hire and laundry help. A range of amenities like dry cleaning and airport shuttle were available, adding to the overall convenience.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. While the rooms felt like a one-bedroom apartment with a mildew smell, the king size bed was comfortable. The room was equipped with a thermostat and control box which was convenient. The service provided by Hin from reception and housekeeping was decent, although there were communication difficulties. The location had its pros and cons, being far from tourist attractions but close to the Olympic Greens park. The dining experience, trying to communicate by signs, was variable but the breakfast was good value for money. The facilities were average overall.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were large and clean but definitely in need of refurbishment as they had sticky floors and broken furniture. Despite this, the cleanliness and comfort level were decent. The service was lacking in hospitality as I found the staff knocking on my door and entering the room without permission. On the upside, they did try to assist with taxi services and offer guidance based on nationality. The hotel's location was convenient for accessing the local supermarket and fast food outlets, especially for those attending the convention center or Olympic venues. However, communication barriers existed in certain areas, making it challenging. The dining experience was exciting with a variety of options, albeit at a steep price. The facilities were decent but could use some improvements.
