6/10 Okay

Beijing Shindom Liujiayao Branch
Had to pay for an upgrade of room on arrival as they had allocated me the worst possible room they had without any windows on third floor. They wouldn't give me a receipt for the extra 720 Yuans I paid so it obviously went straight in their pocket. Communication was difficult, but is like that in China generally. About half of the young population in China do speak some English and also have translation aps on their phones. The extra money was only about £60.00 so I was still ok with it. The flights Expedia had booked me on were the worst possible arrival and departure times, consequently I had to spend two nights at the airport due to transport not running through the night.(The first night and the last night in order to be there for my return flight at 7.00am)
The room I eventually had was quite good. A double instead of a single with a bit more space which I appreciated. The security at the hotel is quite good.
All in all for a rock bottom budget holiday it wasn't bad and I would stay there again
