Fantastic location if you have an early or late train arrival into Beijing South station. The hotel really is within easy walking distance of the station, and it is all on big roads and doesn't require much navigation at all i.e., you can almost see the station from the hotel - you just have to walk towards it! Rooms are big enough for an overnight stay, though there isn't much space for luggage storage if you have more than one big bag. Room is clean and very warm (possibly too warm, if such a thing exists in the Beijing wintertime!), and I'm glad I booked the no-window room as this meant a very dark room, great for sleeping. Soundproofing is also very good, I didn't hear any neighbours, and only some sounds from the hallway as people were coming and going in the morning, but not loud enough to disrupt sleep. There didn't seem to much around though, just a small supermarket, wet market, and handful of local eateries.
