Pod Inn (Beijing West Railway Station)

We needed to book a last minute hotel close to the station as we missed the last train. This was close however it was so difficult to find. There are no obvious signs for POD INN. Only in Chinese. Took us 30 minutes to find it and local businesses didn't have a clue either. If you’re looking for it, it’s at the end of the block with the pharmacy on the left in green. POD INN sign is green on the right. Once there it served its purpose. Got what we paid for. We’re only there for a few hours to get our heads down.

This hotel is mostly suitable for layovers I think. It's location is fairly close to the Railway station and there are a couple restaurants nearby. Small clean rooms, with all of the basic amenities you would expect. My bed was soft and comfortable, and the bathroom was clean, it was a good time. There was some sort of situation where I think the elevator was being repaired during my trip, so the staff showed me and a few other customers to the stairs so that we could return to our rooms. Unfortunately the doors for stairs at each floor were locked so we had to wait a while to actually return to our rooms, as the staff tried to contact another staff member to open the doors. A strange situation, not sure why the stairs entrance wasn't accounted for, while the elevator was being repaired. in conclusion: Despite my take-out dinner getting extremely cold as I waited to be allowed back into the hotel, I don't have any real problems with the hotel, it's a good value for the price.

It’s a little bit dificult to find but for the rest is everything ok
