Holiday Inn Beijing Deshengmen

The room was spacious good enough for two persons. Room maids were careful and room maintenance was acceptable. Breakfast offered in the ground floor lounge were excellent, which I did not tired for 5 nights stay. A few hotel clerks can speak enough English for negotiating some affairs during stays, and they were responsible for customers requests. Smooth access from Beijing International Airport by taxi takes 50 minutes and costs 110-120 Yuan.

It would be much better, if the friendly expressions on duty of the clerks. They were kind and diligent, but the attitude s toward customers were relatively rough comparing to that of another Holiday Inn class hotels in Japan or Europe (It may be China standard.). Location is not ideal for down-town sightseeing. 30 minutes taxi driving to Tiananmen square, costs 30 Yuan. 20 minutes walk to the nearest subway station.

The location, hotel amenities, room decor and size were great. The location was ok if you're traveling for business and your workplace is nearby. Other facilities were fine too.

The communication with the staff, the food variety, the TV channels, internet connectivity - all could and should have been better given the money they're charging.
