Livefortuna Hotel - One glass of welcome drink in the comfort room before 2025-02-28

What a great hotel and a lucky find! First time I am leaving 10/10 for a hotel. The location is just between the main square/forbidden city and the financial district, 12 minutes walking on a large boulevard to Jianguomen station, and well connected to every area, including the airport. On the hotel street, there are many restaurants, shops and services. The hotel itself is very modern and clean, with an emphasis on cleanliness. The rooms are functionally designed and the kitchenette is a bonus for travellers like me who could not stomach foreign food for days on end. Reception is happy to give any utensils needed, as well as anything else I requested. I loved the ladder-style bedroom, where you sleep comfortably but don't sacrifice space, the ladder retracts and there is ample living and storage space. There is free laundry on-site with detergent and dryers included. The breakfast is large and versatile, not too 'western' but definitely there is something for anyone and everyone, with new items every day and with everything kept fresh. From eggs many ways, to salads, noodles, vegetables stir frys, dumplings, steamed root veggies, sausage and bacon, noodle soup.. The gym is better equipped than many European gyms with a great view. The pool is not as good as shown in the photos, it is small and only one person at a time can use it for swimming with a lifeguard constantly overlooking it. The large living room area is very cosy for spending time in, around the bookshelves and aquarium and piano music. All hotel staff is super friendly and helpful for any question or request. With the limited information available online for many places in China, I was very happy to have booked this hotel and highly recommend it.

Hotel location is great, and as muslim travelers, the close proximity to several halal (清真) options is super convenient! Staff had limited english capabilities (which is common in Beijing) but were extremely helpful regardless and were happy to help to the best of their abilities - lovely staff! Also, the self-service laundry option was very nice

The hotel turned out to be better than in the photo and in some reviews. Let's start in order. Location: a very good point near a large and beautiful park. The hotel itself: on the ground floor there is a large lobby with an aquarium wall and a grand piano, a comfortable lounge area, a bar, a restaurant and a reception, there are also toilets, an entrance to Starbucks from the hotel and an ATM for withdrawing cash. On the top floor there is a swimming pool and a gym. By the way, only those aged 16 or 18 are allowed into the gym, but you can use the pool at any age. The water in the pool is cool for us, +27. But there is a beautiful view of the city through the panoramic windows of the pool. Room and elevators: you can get to your floor only by calling the elevator with a key card, which also opens the room. Room: our room was apt, and this is quite excellent for traveling. The bed, pillows and a large blanket provide excellent quality sleep. The shower pressure is sufficient, there is a cleaning kit: shampoo / soap / face wash / body lotion, toothbrushes are given with a key card. The living room is comfortable, there is a soft sofa, a table and two chairs. The room had an excellent washing machine with a drying function, which could be turned on separately if you needed to dry. There is a kitchen, a stove / microwave / kettle / two cups, two teaspoons and two glasses. That's all the equipment was. I did not clarify at the reception, but perhaps you need to let them know that you want to cook food and need frying pans / a saucepan / plates / cutlery and other cooking utensils, and maybe they will bring it. Cleaning every day, unless you hang a sign "not today". By the way, the sign on both sides means "not today". The breakfasts at the hotel are great, tasty and healthy. These were some of the best breakfasts during my travels. All the staff are friendly, will help when needed, will prompt.

The hotel is fairly new. The rooms are quite unusual with the little stairway up to the bed which also retracts into the wall it was convenient having the microwave and hotplate. On request you can have pans, cutlery etc.the washing machine and dryer in the room are a bonus. Cynthia /Celia (not sure of her name) at reception went beyond to help us. Also jo the Concierge was extremely helpful with directions and info. We had a problem with Didi and he rang them on our behalf to sort out an overcharge. Breakfast was also very good. Would definitely stay here again.

Really great the gym is really good and the sky pool is great. The rooms are very functional and its really handy having a washing machine. Its really clever how you can fold the stairs away and increase the size of the room.
