Great location. Hotel is in a old fashion Hutong in the heart of Beijing where you see locals' life but also close to major tourism spots. It was super fun to walk or ride a bike through these Hutongs. Staffs are very friendly and try their best to make guest feel at home. Tasty breakfast with a lot of choices. Will definitely go back next time I visit Beijing!

Excellent hotel stay
Excellent hotel stay with very attentive, friendly and helpful receptionists and doormen, who provided fantastic customer service every day. I arrived quite early from the airport, waited for a while at the lobby and was lucky to have a room available earlier to wash up and do my work. Breakfast was very good. Gym was a bit small but it does not matter since I didn't have time to use it anyway. Room is very clean and spacious. Good location. Very nice hotel stay.

I recently stayed at the Holiday Inn in Beijing and was thoroughly impressed with the entire experience from start to finish. The hotel combines international comfort with warm Chinese hospitality, making it a perfect choice whether you’re visiting for business or leisure.
Check-in was smooth and efficient, with English-speaking staff who were not only professional but also genuinely welcoming. My room was spacious, modern, and exceptionally clean, with a large comfortable bed, great water pressure in the shower, and reliable Wi-Fi.
The location was ideal, offering easy access to nearby attractions, restaurants, and public transportation. It made exploring the city incredibly convenient.
Breakfast was a highlight — a generous buffet with both Western and Chinese options. The variety and freshness were impressive, and the service in the dining area was always attentive without being intrusive.
A special mention goes to the concierge staff, who went above and beyond to help me with directions and with the washer and dryer.

Das Personal war fantastisch. Trotz durchschnittlicher Englischkenntnisse war die Verständigung einfach. Das Personal nutzt einen Übersetzer mit Sprachfunktion.
Die nächste Metro Station Dongsi ist in ca. 5min zu Fuß zu erreichen. Zur verbotenen Stadt ist es etwa ein 30min Fußweg.
Die Zimmer sind sauber und geräumig. Das Bad ist zwar etwas eng aber absolut ausreichend.
Es gibt Waschmaschinen und Wäschetrockner, die kostenlos genutzt werden können.
Alles in allem ein super Aufenthalt!

Nothing unique but I would stay here again as it’s conveniently located to transport and a street where you can find good food and transport to other places.

We had a great stay at the hotel, buffet breakfast was a hit. Loved the laundry service which was all controlled via QR code within WeChat.
Staff were lovely and courterous. Only down side was walk to the MTR was around 12-15 mins via the Hutong which we had to dodge multiple bikes, cars and motorcycles. If it was easier to walk and closer to the station, it would've been perfect.
