We went to Beijing for our honeymoon, and stayed at the Wangfujing Grand.

We were there for 2 weeks, the staff at the hotel was very helpful and nice to guests.
They will write directions in Chinese for you, so you can give it to the taxi driver.
Breakfast is included, they have western and chinese food, it can be boring after a few days, ...

You are within walking distance of restaurants, Wangfujing shopping district, night markets(must see), Tienaimen SQ, Forbidden City, Lotus Lane and Baihai Park. I found it very safe to walk at night. Conceige were most helpful. They would write the name of the sight we wanted to go to...like Beijing Zoo, Summer Palace, Lama Temple or Temple of ...

The hotel is, and looks, quite old, with torn and stained carpeting, very cheap room furniture, and one of the smallest bathrooms you could find at this class.

Location is good, lobby is certainly nice, and the staff is generally willing to help. On this stay, it was quite loud in the hallway, but I doubt that is a regular issue.
