8.1/10
A practical Beijing base with strong transport links, generous breakfast and uneven room condition.
Howard Johnson Paragon is a traditional 4-star business hotel opposite Beijing Railway Station, and we'd pick it for convenience rather than contemporary style. The nearby metro makes exploring straightforward. Booking.com and recent Tripadvisor guests repeatedly praise comfortable beds, clean rooms and the extensive Chinese-and-Western breakfast buffet. Helpful staff and a gym round out a solid sightseeing base.
The catch is consistency: recent guests describe both fresh, spacious rooms and darker, dated ones, so confirm the room category rather than judging by the lobby. Some also report smoke smells or troublesome air-conditioning, while English-language assistance varies. Breakfast costs extra unless included in your booking. It's a strong pick for travelers prioritizing transport and everyday comfort; we'd skip it if uniformly modern rooms or reliably smoke-free surroundings are essential.
