"Friendly staff Location"

Holiday Inn Express Beijing Downtown by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Our stay at the Holiday Inn Downtown Beijing was amazing. The hotel is beautiful and very well maintained. The rooms are spacious, the beds are comfortable, and the shower was very clean. The breakfast buffet was excellent and offered a great selection of both local and Western cuisine—perfect for a healthy start to the day. The gated location also made us feel safe throughout our stay. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Overall, it was a perfect choice for our four-day stay while exploring Beijing. Highly recommended!"

East Sacred Hotel-near Beijing Tiananmen Square,the Forbidden City,Wangfujing Street-Newly renovated hotel

10/10 Excellent

"This property is hidden down an alley near a residential neighborhood and steps from lively Wangfungin pedestrian street offering high end shopping, street entertainment and metro, with Tiananmen Square & Forbidden City easy walking distance. Location is superb. There are massive hotel brands nearby but this felt cozy. Fang Fang, the consistently smiling host, and front desk work hard to accommodate non Chinese speaking guests and can assist with any plans including Great Wall and Tiananmen Square access last minute. Breakfast leaned towards authentic chinese fare and delicious. Cats in courtyard and free tea and coffee make this a memorable stay."
