Ariva Beijing West Hotel & Serviced Apartment

I always stay here on all visits to Beijng. For the spacious loft, neighborhood, and convenience.

We had a great stay at this hotel. Space was very large and comfortable for the price. Having two bathrooms and two levels was so nice since my daughter and I don't keep the same hours. Beds were hard but, from what I understand, typical for China. Free water bottles every day, small fridge was awesome! Shower could have been cleaner (small amount of mold) and some stains on rug, furniture. Surprised at how little English spoken by front desk folks. But overall a great stay, would stay there again in a second if I got to visit my daughter (a student at Peking Univ) again!

Bright and spacious loft with two bathrooms, good quality beddings. Excellent hotel restaurant food, nice convenience store. Close to subway and easy access to nearby attractions as well as shopping. Will stay again.

Pros: The loft rooms are roomy and comfy. There is full bath and TV on each floor of the loft, which is very nice. The King size bed ones have better views, our friends have the king size loft, we have the twin size bed loft. Service is good, they try their best to please you, this includes the daily housekeeping service. The sofa was okay to sleep on, but if you are taller it would be best to get the extra rolling bed for $200 RMB per night. There is a laundry room with two washers and dryers, you can use it for free if your stay is over 7 days. Same thing with the community kitchen. They are both on the 6th floor. The pool is on the 6th floor also but it is not heated, so for an afternoon summer swim is okay. Location wise the hotel is 10 minutes walk from the subway Line #10 and a big shopping mall. The shopping mall has many eateries and shops. There is also an entry to the subway station within the mall in basement level 1. Cons: The carpets in the room are a bit dated and dirty, perhaps an update is in order? They do provide slippers and bath robes however. The first room we got when we arrived smelled like cigarettes, but they were able to change the room to one that doesn't smell at a lower level for us. The Ariva Cafe is on the 3rd floor. There is a 15% service charge for all items. The dishes are on the expensive side so usually there aren't too many patrons. Hint: Get the King size bed loft they are all on 16th floor and probably more cleaner.

The loft rooms are unique and give you great views and lots of natural light. This is an older four-star hotel that could use some renovation and updating. Breakfast was pretty weak. Immediate neighborhood is a bit boring, but not far from a decent mall and a subway stop away from the new, flashy part of Haidian

I really like the loft rooms at this hotel. I get two stories of windows so have lots of natural light when working in my room. The local neighborhood is not very interesting, but the subway is close and a decent mall is a short walk away. This is a luxury hotel that is aging some, so the condition is a bit worn. But that makes it less expensive. I've stayed here before, and will stay here again because it is an excellent value in Haidian.

This are things that are EXCELLENT with the hotel: 1. Room layout and size (executive floor where we stayed) 2. Room cleaning service 3. Restaurant food This are things that are not so good and can be improved: 1. Room has a mouldy smell (our room) that never went away. 2. Concierge was not interested to help with the luggage’s. 3. Reception does not go above and beyond to assist with queries. 4. Business centre is always closed 5. Executive lounge is only open btw 6am to 10am, which does not make sense. Other times is closed

We stayed in a loft apartment. The room is dark, toilet smelly. wont stay again.

We took our 4 kids to Beijing for 10 days & stayed at the Ariva. We booked 2 loft rooms for the 6 of us. We chose this hotel because of the loft rooms, which was great since it had a nice living room area where we could all be together, but plenty of space for sleeping at night & a pool. Two of our children did have to sleep on the couch since they gave us rooms with a single king bed, but they said the couches were comfortable & they didn't mind. They were actually probably much softer than the beds. The beds were so hard, literally like sleeping on box springs, but amazingly, I never felt sore even though I like softer beds & I slept well. The linens & towels were clean, but the carpet was not! I think it is mostly because they are lighter colored carpets, but they really could use a cleaning. I am a bit OCD, so I wore flip flops in the room & had the kids wear the slippers that were provided, but since everything else was pretty clean, it was okay. It was really great to have 2 bathrooms in each room. Made it much easier while getting ready or when we all needed a bathroom break! We loved the size & arrangement of the room, but wish it was in a more central location. Luckily it is very close to the Suzhoujie subway station on the line 10, so we could get around easily, but it required a lot of travel time to get to most places. If we were to go again, we would likely stay in the Wangfujing area, which is more central. If you do stay here, ask for a view room.

Amazing.
