Billed as the biggest hotel in Asia, I didn't know what to expect of the Friendship Hotel. First impressions were off-putting. built by the Russians in the 50's, its all grey brick buildings with chinese roofs - a bit incongruous! There's a central building and about 8 satellite buildings, all the size of a medium hotel, and these are all... more

Stayed at this hotel as part of the 15 day Discover China with Travelsphere. The Friendship hotel complex is huge. Stayed in building 4, rooms large and well appointed with in room safe and ample toiletries. Kettle in the rooms but only Jasmine Tea, take your own teabags/coffee. 2 free bottles of water every day. Shower was good, food was... more

Stayed in building 1 for a week while attending a conference on site. This is a large Government-run hotel. Building 1 is rated as 5* and the rooms are certainly pretty good. We had a mini suite with a lounge, bedroom and large bathroom. The rooms look to have been recently renovated. The lounge has a sofa, flat screen TV... more

Stayed at the Freindship twice on a Travelsphere tour of China. Found the rooms in building 4 to be large and well appointed. Staff freindly, but no to much English. Food only average. Long way from central Beijing but only 25 RMB in a Taxi. Would stay there again more

I stayed at Building No. 2 for 5 nights. No doubt Beijing Friendship is very big but it lacks the warmth and hospitality you would expect from a 4 star hotel, even though the rating is accorded by the Chinese government and not by international standards. This is the first time I come accoss a hotel that has a pool... more

I would like to preface this review by stating that I have worked in over 60 different countries world wide, including most of sub-Saharan Africa, Mexico, all of the EU, Turkey, Russia, Kazakhstan, Japan, Taiwan, Korea, etc. etc. etc. Let's just say that I get around! I was referred to the Friendship Hotel by a friend affiliated with the Chinese... more

We arrived at the hotel lobby, and the people were very nice. We checked in, and no problems at all. The rooms were very nice and big. Internet access was free. The beds were very comfortable. Even the couch in front of the bed was very comfortable (That's where I slept. My dad got the bed). The bathroom was very... more

Beijing Friendship Hotel is a pretty good hotel. The hotel takes a very large piece of land. It's kind of like a college campus, with hotel buildings, restaurants like TGI Fridays, gardens, etc. It used to be a very "Luxury" hotel to prople. Our room was okay. It was located in the 4th building. The size of the hotel room... more

During our holiday in China, we stayed at this hotel on two separate occasions. This is a very large complex and the actual hotel is separated into four buildings. Building one (which is the main entrance is very beautiful. We actually stayed in building three on our first stay and building four on our second stay. Both were in excellent... more
