Holiday Inn Express GUIYANG DOWNTOWN by IHG

Over 900 RMB for one night is extremely poor value for money. The room is only about 20 square meters, with a very odd layout and a tiny window. The twin room only has one stool, making it feel very cramped. With over ten floors of guest rooms, there are only two elevators, so you always have to wait a long time. Breakfast was uninspired. I do not recommend this hotel.

The moment I walked in, I spotted two large stains on the stool, and I can't believe the cleaning staff didn't see them... However, the hotel was fully booked that day, so I didn't ask for a room change. The location is excellent, very close to the fountain, making it convenient to get everywhere. There's also a coffee machine on the first floor with continuous supply, but the coffee cup holder also had a lot of dust. I hope they can improve their hygiene management!

The location is absolutely fantastic! The subway station is right outside, and all the attractions are nearby. The room has a great city view and the decor is stylish, perfect for photos. It's incredibly good value for money, I highly recommend it to anyone visiting!

Conveniently located near a subway station with easy access to taxis and public transportation. There are also many dining options nearby. The hotel appears to have been recently renovated, with new facilities. However, the surrounding area in the old city district isn't as good as the new district. Since the hotel has many floors, there was a long wait for elevators during the peak summer season. The breakfast was plentiful; it's less crowded if you go during off-peak hours.

I had an overnight layover in Guiyang and booked the Holiday Inn Express Guiyang Fountain Park. The check-in and check-out process was efficient and smooth. The smart room was easy to use, and the 24-hour fresh air system helped dispel any travel fatigue. The KingKoil mattress was soft and comfortable, allowing me to fully recharge even with a short rest. The room was clean and odor-free. The self-service laundry and dryer on the 22nd floor made it easy to clean my clothes during the trip. The breakfast buffet offered a wide variety of options catering to different tastes, with delicious local noodles and freshly ground coffee to wake me up. The free iced water in the lobby was convenient for taking on the go. The staff were efficient and helpful. This hotel is perfectly suited for an overnight stopover.

As a light sleeper, soundproofing is incredibly important to me, and this Holiday Inn Express completely exceeded my expectations. The room had excellent sound insulation, providing exceptional quietness in the middle of a bustling city. The smart lighting and air conditioning throughout the room could be adjusted as I pleased, and the fresh air system continuously supplied oxygen, keeping the air clear and never stuffy. The King Koil mattress for spinal support, paired with soft Standard Textile linens, ensured I slept soundly until morning. The room cleaning standards were very high, with attention to detail. Self-service laundry and drying facilities on the 22nd floor were available 24/7. The breakfast buffet offered a wide variety, with a balanced mix of Chinese and Western dishes. The authentic local noodles and rice noodles were a highlight, and the freshly ground coffee had a rich aroma. Free iced water was always available in the lobby, and the staff were gentle and attentive. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone who values a good night's sleep.

Here's what I liked about this hotel: the rooms are quite new, and the location is great. It's not in a bustling tourist area, but there are plenty of local eateries nearby. Plus, you can get a mountain view from the higher floors. The cleanliness of the hotel is also commendable. However, there are a few areas that could definitely use some improvement: 1. As an InterContinental Platinum member, I didn't seem to receive a welcome drink, even though I noticed other members with them in the elevator. It feels a bit inconsistent, and while I understand that booking through Ctrip as a member might be more expensive than non-member rates, not receiving the expected courtesies or being treated differently really diminishes the brand's reputation. 2. The hotel restaurant and laundry room are both on the 22nd floor, while guest rooms are from floors 8-21. There aren't many elevators, which leads to long wait times and inefficiency. 3. The front desk staff seemed overwhelmed when there were a lot of guests. 4. Breakfast service also needs improvement. When the restaurant opened at 7 AM, the first two bowls of noodles from the noodle station were taken directly by kitchen staff to eat. While I understand staff work hard, during opening hours, shouldn't guests be prioritized? It left a really bad impression.

After a terrible night at the Elong Hotel due to incredibly poor soundproofing, I promptly switched to a reliable chain hotel on the second day. Holiday Inn Express, a 3-star hotel under the IHG group, offers a range of amenities including a restaurant and gym. The food at the restaurant was good, and they even helped us find a lost toy belonging to my child. When a group from Chongqing next door started getting noisy at night, I reported it and the duty manager quickly resolved the issue. The only minor drawback is the fence at the hotel entrance, which makes it inconvenient for taxis.

This is my second stay at an Express by Holiday Inn, and I've noticed the decor style is consistent across different cities. For my trip to Guiyang, I chose this hotel for its convenient location and reasonable price. I always prefer newly opened hotels because they're clean and tidy, and the front desk service here was excellent. I'll definitely choose to stay here again in the future.
