Great place with great staff in the hotel
We were originally thought the hotel was not at part with the Sofitel brand, it was kinda small in scale and lobby facilities, however the staff and the manager of the front desk Mr. Li was very helpful to make our stay as smooth as possible, they even upgraded our room to make it at home. It was once a W hotel.
Hotel staff are pleasant 5 minute walk to metro station , bed is comfy , bath is nice . Property is generally really a nice but some furniture in the room has lots of wear and tear . Otherwise fine
We enjoyed our stay at Sofitel Beijing Central and would recommend it.
Pros:
1. Location was excellent in the heart of Beijing.
2. Rooms are incredibly spacious with a large glass wall to view the city.
3. Luxurious bath towards the middle of the room was opulent!
4. Walk-in robe with auto-lighting
5. Very comfortable bed and pillows and super king size (we have king size at home)
6. Options for meals
7. Quiet
Cons:
1. Service. In comparison to the Hyatt in Shenzhen we found reception a bit wanting; due to the sit down nature with clients and staff, wait times to talk to staff seemed over the top. However, the team looking after the elevators were extremely helpful and vigilant. We never had to wait for an elevator from the ground floor and the team directed us to the waiting elevator.
2. The lobby is a bit smaller compared to other hotels we've been to and sometimes there wasn't enough available seating; we ended up going straight to our rooms rather than being able to enjoy the facility.
3. Some things are a bit dated and could easily be replaced such as the large couch (ours had a stain and was tilted toward the front) and the bedhead (bit of wear and tear on the leather). A few of the wood-look tiles have lifted ever so slightly but noticeable enough for a top hotel.
In saying that, I'm splitting hairs. We had a wonderful time and would stay here again. BTW: still waiting for the return of our deposit!
Location-wise, it is centrally located but do not get there by subway if you have large luggage as you have to go up 6 flights of stairs to get to the surface.
The property is ok but some stains and damages on the back of the door/wall. The lighting is kind of dark and difficult to see even you do not have any visual impair. Good to have free mini-bar. Breakfast is pretty good, large selection.
Overall was a nice Hotel. Very quiet as guests start to come back to China. Room was over hot and no local control so after a couple nights bad sleep and feeling sick, got maintenance to open the windows. Made it just bearable. Buffet dinner and breakfast good, but dinner only on weekends and the Chinese restaurant was pretty upper class. That left in room dining, so when I finally located a menu the food was good, if not way too much. Massage downstairs was good and the gym and pool exceptional. Could easily get 2km in each day given a nice 25m length.

We stayed in Sofitel Beijing Grand for 7 nights. The hotel was not near any metro station but thankfully, Didi ride-hailing (the equivalent of Uber and Grab) is very affordable in Beijing. The front office staff and concierge were not friendly and could be rude at times when you asked them for more information about the hotel and help in booking Didi rides. Most of them could only speak a little English. The hotel is poorly maintained with quite a few torn cushions in the dining room. The breakfast buffet spread had little Western variety and the pastries were hard and stale. The centrally controlled aircon wasn't cool enough and there wasn't any temperature control in the room. However, the saving grace came from the housekeeper, 岳海英 (under the supervisor 冯军) who did a fantastic job in keeping the room clean and ensuring an adequate supply of bottled water and toiletries. If it weren't for the housekeeping, I would have rated the hotel as terrible.
This hotel was dark and depressing. Management needs to double the number of lights and add more vibrant colors. The breakfast is in the basement, it feels like a dungeon. Do not recommend..
