I was a bit apprehensive at first coming into China What would a 2 star or 3 star cheap hotel really be like? Surprisingly they were what you would expect, the rooms in Cheap Hotels in Beijing, were similar to what you would get in Singapore or Bangkok . Something interesting we found was like allot of things in China the government has something to do with this, as the hotels will have a plaques on the wall that will show the number of stars and using this as a guide we were not disappointed as it is a real designation so if you are approaching a hotel or Beijing cheap guesthouses don't be afraid to ask them what the star rating of the hotel is.
