BLCU Conference Center Accommodation and Rates

Planning to stay in BLCU Conference center anytime soon? Here are some information I gathered on how to reserve and book accommodation at the BLCU university's Conference Center.

 

The Conference Center seems to be easier to book than that of Dorm 17 and other school dorms probably because it's quite pricey for it's room size. But the advantage of booking here is that you have less hassle, and you can actually book your room once you arrive in Beijing (although a slight chance of no vacancies can also happen).


How to Book

You first need to contact them in this number: 0086-10-8230-3778 and inquire if you can reserve for a room on the specific dates you intend to. I think they only have single rooms for booking. You also need to pay the reservation fee of 2,000 RMB to be sent via Bank Transfer. The bank details will be sent to you upon confirmation of your booking.

Requirements

The only requirements you need are a photocopy of your passport, your admission notice, and in some occasions, your photo. You can fax them at this number: 0086-10-8230-0070. 

Cost

I wasn't able to inquire about the daily rates (I'm sorry), but my classmate did mention that he was spending around 4,000 - 4,500 RMB each month for a single room. With this, I think you can about estimate how much it will cost you to stay in the Conference Center. Best of Luck!

BLCU Conference Center

Beijing Language and Culture University has several dormitories that cater to foreign students from all over the world. Aside from this, BLCU also has a business and conference center known as 会议中心 (Huìyì zhōngxīn). The Conference center also offers high class accommodation for foreign students - with free daily breakfast and hotel-like services.

 Exact Location

The Conference Center is located in the Northern part of the BLCU campus. It is right beside the school's track and field and directly across the Dining Hall. It is also about only 5 minutes away from the student classrooms. Due to it's location and class, the Conference Center is known to be a pricy accommodation option for foreign students. It is usually more expensive than renting a much bigger room from a flat in nearby apartments.

 Laundry and Kitchenette

The Laundry Room is located at the 7th Floor which is opened from 7:30 am - 9:00 pm. A laundry card is needed in order to access their machines. Cards are sold at 50 RMB with a 10 RMB deposit. Each wash will cost you 4RMB and if you use the dryer it will cost you around 8RMB.

The Kitchenette is also located in the 7th floor and is opened from 11:00 am - 2:00 pm and 5:00 pm - 9:00 pm.

Bottled Water

Bottled water is available for orders at the Front Desk. 50 RMB is asked for the Initial bottle deposit. You need to purchase a water pump at 45 RMB and each refill will cost you 12 RMB.

Breakfast 

Breakfast is served daily at the Ground floor (which is a Chinese Restaurant). It's not a superb breakfast but it's a simple breakfast with egg, bread and some vegetables. It starts from 7:00 am - 8:30 am.

Telephone Services

In order to access their room phone, you need to purchase a calling card at rates from 20, 50 and 100 RMB.

 Generally, the Conference Center is for students with a higher budget, or those that ran out of rooms from other dorms. You can opt to stay for only a few days until several months depending on your choice.
