We chose the Jinglun as a package deal with our airline tickets through NWA. Our airline tickets actually got cheaper by booking four nights at the Jinglun - so we were somewhat pessimistic about the hotel experience we would have. We were quite pleased. The rooms were modern, western-style rooms. Breakfast was included. The buffet was good, but after eating at it for four mornings, we were not sorry to give it up. It is not worth the price if it is not included in the price of your room. We speak only English, but the staff was well prepared with English speaking folks at the front desk and door. The front desk was also very willing to help make travel arrangements (e.g., to the Great Wall, etc.). Their prices, however, tower over what you would need to pay a taxi driver for the same trip! It is a convenient location for both taxi trips and the subway (station about 1 1/2 blocks away). Also, there is a grocery store an easy 2 block walk away if you need extra water, food, drink, etc. After our four nights in the Jinglun, we moved to the Kerry Centre Hotel, which is a far more expensive hotel. However, fancy furniture notwithstanding, the Jinglun actually matched up with the Kerry Centre in terms of service, location, and amenities. Long story short, if you can get the Jinglun at a good price, you will get a good hotel for a good deal.
