I had previously quarantined for 10 days at Holiday Inn Express Beijing Temple of Heaven which is much smaller but more modern (HDMI plug/play ready TV, ethernet, furniture etc) and with many bilingual staff. I came to this branch after I booked online, and some advice for international travelers here. Unless you are VIP with a bilingual PA you gonna have to take some responsibility, meaning it's standard to know that EVERY hotel needs to know your date of entry into country and see a valid visa page on your passport. Just get them ready with a post-it to show the reception staff so checking in is not a nightmare! Also I stayed here during the Health Check App requirement, and there was COVID testing literally 100 yards from hotel! Although this hotel is kinda old, with furniture and fittings looking a little tacky, there is a exhibition of fine black and white photographs throughout the floor, pictures are of the 'ethnic groups' (see photo) — someone said it was kinda paternalistic national geographic, but at least it's not like those euro world fair 'savage on display' photos. Now the rooms! Well the Standard Queen room I booked online was not the room I got going by the pictures, and I then booked a Superior room which came with mini fridge, sofa, table/laptop desk [see photo]. Although the rooms were a let down after staying at Beijing Temple Heaven branch, this larger holiday inn has great views on the hotel deck (see photo). Finally there was some weird 'nightlife' going on in the vicinity, I say this because at night I would go on a walkabout and my spider sense was definitely tingling, it may be connected to the Kara Night Club see photo. But I still felt safe as it's tourist part of Beijing.

The check in process for this hotel was truly ridiculous. I waited in line for 15 minutes before checking in. Then the check-in process took about 10 minutes for the regular check in process which seems excessive. Then, the hotel had the forms required for foreigners to fill out regarding their travel history. Forms such as this are standard in China during the pandemic, but these forms were all written in Chinese with no English translation and asked repetitive and unnecessary questions. The form also required that I list the name and phone number of a Chinese citizen living in Beijing who can be contacted in case of an emergency. I understand these form are usually required by the local authorities and are not made by the hotel, but every hotel I have ever stayed at in China except this one provides a translation of the form. After finally getting checked in and arriving to my room, I received a call from the hotel that they needed to scan my passport again because they did not scan it correctly the first time. After coming back to the lobby to give them my passport again, 2 of the 3 people at the front desk could not figure out which pages of the passport to scan (all hotels need the information page, entry stamp, and residence permit). Eventually, someone who appeared to be a manager came and resolve this in a few seconds. I have stayed in several hotels in Beijing and throughout China during the last several months and have never experienced a check-in process like this. A less important issue with this hotel is the room smelled like smoke even though I requested a non-smoking room. I don't blame the hotel too much for this, because that is common in China. Later, I noticed that from my room, I can hear every word from the people in the room next door and I could smell it when they started smoking just as if they were in my room. Overall the room itself was comfortable, spacious, and clean. The room was cleaned every morning before noon and all of the hotel staff were very friendly. The breakfast was not amazing, but certainly not bad. The room has a stunningly gorgeous view of a lake and Chinese garden. The room is also very close to the subway line 8 & 10 which makes it very convenient to get anywhere in Beijing quickly. During rush hour traffic, the subway was much faster than a taxi or DiDi. Overall, this is not a bad budget hotel, but I will not stay here again.

This is definitely one of the nicest, cheapest hotels. The buffet breakfast is absolutely worth it. It's so nice to be there in the spring/summertime because the outdoor area (attached to the breakfast place) is lovely!!! The hotel is very close to the metro and Olympic Park, making it very convenient. There's also a huge supermarket and 7-11 right around the corner.

A bit hard to find, but very close to many tourist spots.

Clean and friendly
