I did some on-line research before I booked the hotel, with all those good reviews it was such a disappointment for me. I stayed only 2 nights and I changed my room-only 4 times. (I only asked for non-smoking: 3 times I had for smoking with a smell so bad that it was hard to stay in the room.) , asking just a simply questions: to check if my ...

Just off the beaten track
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 04/11/08
Slightly more adventurous than most tourist hotels in Beijing. In an up and coming neighborhood, we were able to point and order at restauraunts and shop in the local stores without difficulty-the "Chinese hot pot" restauraunt by the hotel was very helpful-but very HOT!!.
The only problem was with the concierge desks' knowledge of ...
Amazing value, I've spent nearly the same amount on better located hotels, but they were complete dives. This hotel is definitely up to decent western standards. Most of the staff speak pretty good english and will go out of their way to make sure that things are good for you. One of the concierges spent 30 mins just trying to find out the ...

School Tour 2006
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 10/01/06
We found the Holiday Inn to be centrally located. The rooms were comfortable. The breakfasts enjoyable. While the staff struggled with English generally there was always someone who could help. We had a group of students - some became ill over the weekend and the hotel staff did all that they could to help us in our situation. Very close to Pearl Market - about 10 minutes - between 10 and 30 RMB depending on the traffic.
I like the service, the breakfast, the rooms were clean. don't like the fact that there is not much to do or walk sightseeing at nigth near the hotel

Great Hotel in an Old City
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 06/28/05
Like everything about this hotel except for the location, a little far from the city (15mins by taxi). But worth everything for such a new, clean and well-serviced hotel in an old city.
The massages were only $20 what a deal for 45min. The van driver they booked for us instead of tour bus could not speak english.

Surprisingly good choice
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 07/12/04
I recently stayed here during a tour of Beijing. This new hotel still sparkles and is well-appointed. The location admittedly isn't that great (in the Fengtai District with lots of tenements nearby) but it's near the Temple of Heaven. The many in-room amenities such as free broadband internet access and the soothing, contemporary decor more ...
