Mid range hotel located in the Hutongs. Good value restaurant for dinner and complimentary breakfast more than adequate. Staff are friendly and speak varying levels of English so be prepared to use a translation app. I had booked a non smoking room but it was clear when I arrived that a previous guest had been smoking in it. The hotel did provide an air purifier and after 24hrs the situation was much improved. That said there were people smoking in the corridor on the floor I was staying on. Aside from that the room was comfortable with all the usual amenities.

We had a very pleasant stay at this property. The room was impressively spacious and kept spotlessly clean, which made for a comfortable experience. While the bathroom was a bit more compact than I expected, it was manageable. A huge plus was the free laundry service—it’s a rare find and incredibly helpful for longer trips. Above all, the staff were wonderful, welcoming, and went out of their way to be helpful

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.

We enjoyed the facilties, the receptionists, the restaurant hostesses, the housekeepers and the doorman. Everyone was extremely polite and always welcoming you back to your rooms for exciting. It was a spotless hotel. The food for breakfast had a great variety as well as quality food for all to enjoy, whether you are of Chinese descent, Asian in general or of any other various ethnicity.
I appreciated their organization with receiving packages as well as I had notified them of a package arriving the next day.
The rooms were always kept clean and organized to where we left our personal belongings and they always refilled what we had used. The rooms are modern and comfortable with convenient tables for eating or working. Appreciated the large TV if you do watch. The only thing we didn't enjoy as much was the design of the shower stall and the mirror placement. If you are not a couple, one person has to be mindful to not look in the direction of the shower. Otherwise, it was great. The water pressure was perfect and the products given to use were good as well.

The subway station is 15 mins away however, so it is not the closest but, there are bus stops nearby as well as a lot of restaurants.

Would recommend and would stay again.

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.

We stayed in two rooms (3006 and 3008) for five nights at this hotel, and our experience was truly exceptional.

1. The reception staff went above and beyond to accommodate our requests, showing incredible generosity by granting us both an early check-in and a late check-out, which was greatly appreciated.

2. Room service was impressively quick. They immediately cleaned our room whenever they noticed us opening the door, allowing us to maximize our time and fully enjoy our holiday.

3. The breakfast buffet was absolutely delicious. The staff were attentive and efficient, quickly clearing my finished plates to free up space while ensuring my coffee remained untouched to reserve my table as I picked up more food. They also kindly allowed me to pack some breakfast for my wife and children, who were still asleep, making sure they didn’t miss out on the wonderful meal.

4. A special mention goes to Ms. Tammy, the front desk manager, for her outstanding professionalism and kindness. She informed us about the late-night supper service, complete with 24-hour coffee, and even went the extra mile by helping me order medication for my stomach flu, which arrived within just half an hour.

5. The hotel's location was quite convenient, as we had already known when making the reservation. Though access to the entrance required using Didi (China's ride-hailing app), it was manageable and added to the convenience of our stay. Additionally, the hotel is within walking distance of other publ

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.

We loved the free breakfast with so many choices. Food was quite good. Rooms were clean and well maintained.
Staff were helpful and polite. The only thing i didn't like is the location which is half way into a hutong which actually is an alley. Our taxi driver wouldn't drive us right up to the hotel and insisted we get off at the entrance of the hutong. We didnt think there's a hotel in the midst of a hutong. Also there arent many nice restaurants nearby.Other than that, we are happy with the hotel.

I had chosen this hotel for its downtown location. However I soon realised its location in a hutong can be inconvenient. On 3 occasions, the Didi driver I booked stopped at the entrance to Lishihutong, and told me to walk down the hutong to the hotel myself. Their reason: the hutong is single lane, and they could get caught in a \"traffic jam\" in it.

However the hotel itself, the service and the staff, were great.
1. I had dropped my USB multi-charging cable when out, and realised it only when I wanted to charge my phone and power banks at night. I approached Reception to borrow a USB cable for the night. Cindy at Reception said the hotel does not loan USB cables but said I could buy one online, and it would be delivered that night. It was already 10.45pm, I was sceptical. Since I am not able to read or type in Chinese, she helped me make a purchase using her phone. The much USB charging cable was delivered at 11.35pm to my room by the hotel's own delivery robot! Amazing service - both by the online vendor, Cindy, Holiday Inn Express and its delivery robot too.
2. I had booked a Didi car to bring me to the Airport. I was concerned the Didi driver may not want to drive into the hotel driveway. The doorman on duty, 刘枭翰, very kindly went to the entrance to the hotel driveway to wait for the Didi, and directed him into the driveway so I need not wait along the hutong itself. He also lifted my luggage into the boot. Congratulations on your excellent service staff!

Everything was very good, but I have two suggestions about the breakfast area. 1. As an individual traveller I didn't want to leave my bag at the table when I went looking for food or coffee (I'm very cautious). But I found that staff were too quick to take away my plates. Twice I left plates that were more than half full on the table while I went to get coffee, and found that they had been taken away when I got back. 2. The coffee situation is not good enough. Foreign guests want coffee. There's only one machine and always a line of people waiting around it. An older style of coffee service would be better (have a pot or two full of fresh coffee and let people come and pour it, rather than wait for a machine to make one cup at a time. Otherwise a very good experience.

Clean and comfortable hotel

We enjoyed our stay at the hotel. The rooms were clean and comfortable. The staff were friendly and helpful. The hotel is located about 10 minutes from Dongsi metro station. As someone who is intolerant to some food groups I really applaud that the hotel is trying to label the breakfast food. However, the labelling is incorrect, for example, bread was labelled as allergen free and not as containing gluten. Fried rice with eggs was also labelled as allergen free. It would make the hotel even better if this could be addressed.

Sehr empfehlenswert

- Checkin schnell und unproblematisch. Ein Rezeptionist sprach etwas Englisch. (Für den Fall, dass es nicht so sein sollte nutzt man halt ne Translator-App. Das klappt auch ganz gut, normalerweise).
- Das Frühstück war sehr gut und für jeden Geschmack etwas dabei (Asiatisch und Westlich).
- Das Zimmer entsprach den Fotos bei Hotels.com
- Das Bett war sehr bequem und sehr groß
- Riesen-TV
- Das Zimmer war groß genug für 2 Leute mit Gepäck. Das Bad war allerdings recht klein, aber auch ausreichend.
- Nachts war es sehr ruhig im Zimmer
- Metro war ca. 10 Gehminuten entfernt und entsprechend schnell ist man in der Innenstadt.
- Wir haben uns in der Umgebung zu jeder Tages- und Nachtzeit sicher gefühlt.

Fazit: Insgesamt waren wir sehr gut zufrieden (Preis-Leistung). Wir würden Wiederkommen.

이 호텔은 베이징의 胡同을 경험하고 싶은 자유여행객들에게 아주 좋은 선택입니다. 객실은 사용하기 편리하게 정비되어 있으며, 세부적인 부분까지 신경 쓴 것으로 보아 객실 관리가 잘 되고 있는 호텔입니다. 무료로 제공되는 조식은 종류도 다양하고 훌륭합니다. 외국인들에게 평판이 좋은지 외국인 투숙객이 많습니다. 베이징 지하철 5호선 東四站 C번 출구에서 나와 東四南大街를 따라가다가 礼士胡同으로 들어서면 되고, 東四站에서 도보로 15분 정도 걸립니다. 걷기를 좋아한다면 王府井大街까지 도보로 갈 수도 있을 정도로 좋은 위치에 있습니다. 주변에 먹을 만한 식당도 여러 곳 있습니다. 단점은 礼士胡同 안에 있어서 좁은 골목에 자동차, 오토바이, 자전거가 혼란스럽게 다닌다는 점 그리고 객실에서 전망이 좋지 않다는 점을 들 수 있습니다.
