“Great value for Beijing, but a little far from the subway”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 January 2012
2
people found this review helpful

I stayed in the Holiday Inn Express Temple of Heaven for two nights before I joined my tour group. I chose this hotel as the price was very reasonable (US$60/night), and I wanted to be close to the Temple of Heaven as this tourist attraction was not on our tour itinerary. Firstly, the hotel is very close to the standard that one might expect of a Holiday Inn Express in the West. This is important as Chinese beds tend to be extremely hard, and their bathrooms a bit grungy. I stayed in about 7 different hotels in China (mainly 3 and 4-star) and this was the nicest. Bonuses included free and decent buffet (hot and cold) breakfast and free wireless Internet. The staff at reception are very friendly and helpful, although there are some language barriers still. There are a number of small restaurants leading from the subway station to the hotel, and many cater to locals, so you may need to be careful with your choices.

The main drawback (for me anyway) for the hotel is its proximity to the subway station. I caught the subway, and tried to follow their instructions (but since I did not know east from west, and it was dark), it is not evident which way to go. I flagged down 4 taxi before one of then knew where the hotel was. In the daytime, and once you get your bearings, it is easier to find, but still a good 10-15 minute walk from the subway station.

You get a lot of hotel for your money and it was much better than the hotelI wound up staying at with our tour group but the location would make me think twice about going back.

“A little off the beaten path, but great hotel!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 January 2012

We cashed in hotel points to stay at this property and were not disappointed! The staff were friendly, and the property was clean and modern. My only complaints would be the location and the breakfast. We checked in after dark, and were hoping to find dinner within walking distance. We ended up picking up some Ramen, Chips Ahoy, Pringles & TsingTao at a little bodega down the street when we could not find any open restaurants. It turned into an adventure. I am not sure if there was a gym, but my husband I enjoyed running around the neighborhood in the mornings. It was a bit smoggy, but another adventure! The hotel is not the easiest to find for the taxi drivers, so I would recommend bringing your own map/guidebook. I would definitely recommend this hotel as it is a great value, but would probably stay somewhere with more walking options next time!

“Well kept rooms but minimum facilities”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 January 2012

I have positive comments about the rooms, functional, neat with all basic amenities. Wifi was not working unless I step out to the corridor. Food and beverage services almost non existent except a minimal breakfast. Coaxing a taxi driver to take you to the hotel is very difficult, especially in the night. But a good place to stay for the comfort of the room but nothing else.

Room Tip: If you have arranged a car to pick you up and drop you after your sightseeing or shopping trips and...

“Great Hotel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 January 2012

We really liked this hotel. It is a pretty easy walk from the Temple of Heaven (5-10 min) Tienamen Square (20 min) and the Forbidden City. The breakfasts were good, if sometimes a little crowded. The front desk staff were wonderful, and very helpful. I would agree with some other posts, however, that taxi drivers had trouble finding it. I would reccomend printing out a google map in Chinese and bringing it with you.

“Awesome...”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 January 2012

people found this review helpful

We stayed here for 4 nights and the stay was simply awesome.. We enjoyed the hospitality, cleanliness of the room, free wireless internet, free breakfast which included both Continental and Chinese style breakfast. Language is usually a major problem in Beijing for non-Chinese speaking tourists, but the guys at the reception make it easy for you. The cafe on the 2nd floor had good choices for quick snack. The location was perfect, walkable distance to the Temple of Heaven. Easy to get a taxi.. Overall, no regrets staying here..
