“Good deal”

Nice hotel, well located, friendly staff

“Beijing on our own”

Staff helped us with everything, from reservations in remote Wudangshan to advice about the buses. Breakfast was super, and good even if you do not like greens in the morning. With a bus and subway ride (very cheap) you could get anywhere. Walk to local Chinese fast food (noodles or sit down) or neighborhood restaurants. We walked to the hutong for calligraphy, an education in brushes. Three blocks from Temple of Heaven, which is overpriced, but a great place to join taiji. Preferably, go the other direction to Tao Ran Ting park to see and join Chinese people. Again, cannot say enough about how helpful the staff was.

“Beijing great value for money”

Good location, good price, clean, great convenience store and bar/restaurants around the corner

“We'll stay here again if we ever have the opportunity.”

The room was great, the front desk very knowlegeable and approachable, the breakfast was so much more than we thought it would be. Very pleased with the hotel, area, and amenities.

“YES YES YES”

This has to be the best value for money hotel in Beijing.This was my second time at this hotel and it was just as good as the first time. I checked in about midnight and still found that the staff could speak good English and they were most welcoming,even at that time of night..The taxi driver had no trouble finding the hotel either. A good breakfast is offered and there is a good inexpensive restaraunt in the same complex,as well as a great convienience store.This hotel is a gem and i would not stay anywhere else.

“Surprisingly good”

The great: the Internet is WAY faster than at the Ramada we stayed in in Shanghai, and is fast enough to register on mobile devices. Yay! - Breakfast is good, varied, frequently refreshed, and satisfying. Cereal, toast, congee, eggs, sausages, vegetables, fresh fruit, juice, milk, coffee, soy milk, fried rice, etc. - The front desk people are nice, speak good enough English, and are helpful. Nice surprises were the free crib, and a collection of power adapters to borrow. - corner store just out the door, to get cold water, lots of alcoholic choices, ramen noodles, ice cream, and the like - in room: safe, tea kettle and mugs, comfy chair, big TV with HBO, nice desk The mediocre: the location isn't great. The nearest subway is a 20 minute walk away, though a taxi will only cost about $2. The area isn't too bustling, and the only tourist destination within walking distance is the Temple of Heaven; for everything else it's a trek. But it's doable. - the housekeeping service is more tidying than cleaning. You get fresh towels, but not fresh sheets. - like at our other hotel in China, you insert the room key into a slot to make the electricity connect. Great for the environment, but it'd be nice to be able to leave a phone charging or the AC on. Tips: print out the Chinese directions from the hotel website for the first time you take a taxi to the hotel from the subway, thereafter bring a hotel business card with you. It's a quite good hotel.

“Highly Recommended for the Budget Traveller”

Stayed at this hotel for five days... for the price, I paid, it was well worth it. The breakfast plan that went with my reservation was a good addition, although the food choices got old after the second day... This is highly recommended for those travelling to Beijing on a budget...

“Cheap but yet good and clean”

Be careful not to confuse this holiday inn EXPRESS with Holiday Inn. They are in two different buildings about 10 minutes away from each other by taxi. The hotel is good for the price you pay, the breakfast is pretty basic and the hotel is very clean. There is internet in their rooms which is great and there are three computers in the lobby/restaurant area for public use. Staff speak acceptable and understandable English (can't get better than that anywhere in China! trust me lol) and are quite helpful. It's walking distance from Temple of Heaven but expect a 10-15 min taxi ride to The Forbidden City and Tiananmen square. About the same distance to the Silk Market, but the Pearl Market is pretty nearby, about 5 minutes by taxi. Remember that Taxis in China are very cheap. The 15 min taxi ride would probably cost you about CAD $3. Overall, it's a good hotel especially because it's quite cheap but yet clean and nice. It's not a luxury hotel, but who paid for that huh?

“Excellent low-cost hotel”

In summary, this is an excellent low-cost hotel and we enjoyed staying here very much. The room was extremely nice, large LCD TV, very soft large bed and a well spaced out bathroom with large shower head; no, we as people aren't 'large' but appreciate space and comfort. The hotel was nicely situated near restaurants and shops. We will definitely come back to this hotel again.

“This is a great hotel”

If you want great value for money then you cant go past this hotel.The rooms are very clean as is the rest of the hotel.They have English speaking staff and they are very helpfull and curtious.The English channels on TV are a bonus as well as very comfortable beds.A short taxi ride will get you anyware you need to go and the taxis are so cheap.I have stayed in many hotels in China and this would be one of the best.GREAT value for money.I will be staying here again every time i come to Beijing.
