10/10 Excellent

"Excellent location, right in the center of Wangfujing. Great room amenities and very helpful staff service."

Sunworld Dynasty Hotel Beijing Wangfujing

10/10 Excellent

"Лишь одна деталь меня смутила. Это кофемашины, которые плохо настроены. Молоко не держит пену и сами зерна кофе не вкусные. А всё остальное просто супер. Особенно 10 этаж. Где расположены экзекьютив номера с доступом в ложу. Которая с 14 до 17 предлагает чай и кофе и легкие закуски, а с 18 до 20:30 полноценный ужин с алкоголем. Об этом, кстати, никто в отзывав не пишет!"
