I am an expat living in China and always loathed taking trips to Beijing - traffic jams, unfriendly locals and feeling out-of-place just got under my skin too much. My parents came to visit my family and we booked a 3-bedroom apartment at East Gate Plaza and my entire Beijing outlook has been changed. First of all, in my opinion,... more

The Beijing East Gate Plaza Service Apartment's proved to be an excellent choice for my family. We stayed in a standard two-bedroom apartment that contained a separate kitchen with a small-enclosed patio and separate dining area. Living room: couch, table and two chairs. A work desk and separate washer/dryer room. As well as two large bedrooms and a fair sized... more

I have stayed in many places in Beijing from top-rated tripadvisor tourist hotels to small budget (see my other reviews) and this is the best! Three of us stayed in a two bedroom apartment, which seemed to have been recently renovated. I booked the hotel on Sinohotel.com for around 798 RMB (104 USD).

My family stayed at East Gate for one full year, 2005. We arrived with an interpreter hired by our host company. Amazing help if you do not know the Chinese language.

There was no "welcome" or information package... more

There is a supermarket in the basement and a few stores, bowling alley, gym and pool. There is a foot massage place... more

5 days trip in Beijing for Xmas. We rent a 3 bedrooms apartment for 5 people. Very good place, clean, cheaper and more convenient than an hotel. Not far from city center with a metro access 1 block away. We advice the large Hot pot restaurant on the other side on the street. more

I just visited Beijing with my mom, sister and aunt. We stayed at the East Gate Plaza for 5 nights and had a great time. The hotel itself is VERY hard to find at first. Don't expect taxi drivers to know exactly where to go. Once you figure out where you are you will be able to get dropped off... more
