I recently stayed at Beijing Sha Tan Hotel for a week, and overall, it was a good experience. The location is fantastic, being just a block away from the Forbidden City and surrounded by local restaurants. However, I found the bed to be quite hard, which made sleeping a little uncomfortable at times. Still, the excellent service and affordable pricing, especially the discounted rate I got, made it all worthwhile. ☕🌆
