Stayed in middle April for 4 days, the hotel is obviously in the process of renovation, at least from outside. I can hear the construction noise and see the cables for outside construction platform hangging outside of my windows. The hotel itself is pretty old one, the carpet looks not clean. But the hotel location is very good, the service is satisfactory.

stayed at the Kunlun for four nights in Feb 2012 on business. The hotel was excellent overall and I would highly recommend it for the business traveler. The room was very nice and I especially liked the high volume shower. The rooms had plenty of western outlets so my US electronics remained well charged. They gave you 2 bottles of water per day so I wanted more and easily got water within walking distance of the hotel. Their is a very high end grocery store in the luxury mall across the street if you want provisions and a regular Chinese grocery store about a 3-4 block walk away. As others have mentioned, the breakfast buffet is excellent and included in most room rates (you can ask for a latte or espresso instead of just coffee). The work out facilities are superb and if you like to exercise, make sure you leave extra time to relax in the sauna and the steam room. I recommend planning on showering in the gym locker room because it was a wonderfully clean and well maintained facility (they even had shower slippers for your use). Across the big highway was a great place to have a beer, the Paulaner house. I also used the laundry service and was astonished at how well folded and prepared everything was returned. I left it out before 9am and it was returned by 3PM. The front desk also had wonderful cards for non-mandarin speakers to show to the cab drivers where you wished to go and where to return you. For those more adventurous, it is right next to a stop on the Beijing subway system. The only negative was that the smoking and non smoking floors are interspersed so if you are on a non-smoking floor and there is a smoker in the floor below you, it travels to your floor with relative ease. But this was a very minor issue and if it is really a big issue for you, I would ask for the lowest possible non-smoking floor. Overall, this was an exceptional value and I would certainly stay again if I had the chance.

good location near the diplomatic area and just before the Beijing infamous traffic jams coming in from the airport. Old five star chinese hotel, good for business but the rooms are noisy and old school. not good for value.

Stayed at the hotel for six nights for a business trip. The fitness center and indoor swimming pool are very nice and a good place to start the day. Breakfast is the typical vast variety of international foods (included in price of the room). The hallway cooridor on my flloor (12th) smelled like a burning clutch (all week). FOtunately, the smell did not carry into the rooms. Bathroom is spacious and water pressure for shower is good. The bed is very hard. Not the more western-type mattress you would find at the Marriott in Beijing. Overall, good value for the price.

The service is great but in a more local sense and doesn't have that corporate slickness of textbook host manners that the western chains have. As a Platinum at Westin and Diamond at Hyatt I see the best of both chains but when in Beijing I just find the Kunlun more interesting.
