Ritan Hotel

“Good but not great hotel with excellent location”

Stayed at the Ritan as part of a tour package. It is an upper class hotel from a Beijing point of view. The rooms are clean with all amenities. The restaurant leaves a bit to be desired at it caters to a large number of Eastern European consulates in the area. The breakfast buffets are outstanding. I never had duck breast slightly rare or lamb chops as breakfast meat. This is in addition to quite a selection of Muslim foods as well as Chinese and American of course. In terms of location there is Ritan Park across the street which is free to the public. Go in the morning and you get to see or participate with people exercising or dancing to music. There’s also a very large shopping mall about 10 minute walk with an excellent food court in the basement.

The hotel is quite big and decorated in the typical Chinese hotel style. The check-in and out was acceptably fast. The rooms are not big but large enough. The furniture is not recent but in good shape. Sleep was good. The breakfast not opulent but a good mixture of European and Chinese cooking.

Cons: breakfast did not offer variety anticipated, and only one person in entire hotel who spoke a small amount of English (despite… more

There were pros and cons that my son experienced staying here. Bottom line though - he would not return. Pros: clean rooms, plenty of space and convenient location. Cons: breakfast did not offer variety anticipated, and only one person in entire hotel who spoke a small amount of English (despite all the promotion that there were plenty of English speaking employees). My son was traveling alone, does speak mandarin and was working at a nearby business - so we chose this hotel based on other positive reviews. When he returns - he would prefer either a more American hotel or smaller boutique hotel.
