Rough Guide
"This three-story hostel is in a good area, though right on a noisy main road. Rooms are spartan but clean, and the whole place looks a bit institutional."
The Telegraph
8.0

"A no-frills hostel with nifty, capsule-style singles and spacious twins and doubles. The subway is very close, and it's a short stroll to the area's lively hutong alleyways."

"If you're looking for a slice of old-world charm, look no further than Raffles Beijing."
Full review
Concierge
"Closer to Tiananmen Square and the Forbidden City than any of the city's other top-end hotels, the Raffles occupies a Beaux Arts–style building with a long history."
Jetsetter
"Built by an enterprising Frenchman in 1900, the hotel's sweeping staircases, arched lobby staircases and 1920s dance hall... were skillfully rejuvenated when Raffles took over."
Lonely Planet
"Sandwiched between two drab edifices... the seven-storey Raffles oozes cachet and grandeur."

Travel + Leisure
"Over-the-top opulence reigns at this vaunted, century-old hotel—which is, appropriately, closer than any other to Beijing’s singularly grand Forbidden City."
