Holiday Inn Express Hangzhou Gongshu By Ihg

“Quality stay, good breakfast but not a lot of things to do nearby”

Great rooms, views with breakfast at Holiday Inn nearby. Staff is helpful but not a lot of convenient stores, shopping around as this is automobile development area and you need to walk around 15 mns to Wanda Plaza which is the shopping mall.

“Génial”

Pour l'argent, c'est un excellent choix. Propre, calme et confortable. Le personnel parlant anglais n'est pas si abondant. Au moins, la réception était réveillée pour mon départ à 5 heures du matin, qui dans de nombreux endroits ne sont pas. Je le recommanderais à tout le monde.

“Dragonboat Festival Stay”

Spent 2 nights in this hotel. Overall stay experience was pleasant. The Good: 1. Front office staff - Very friendly and genuinely helpful. They definitely still have a lot of room for improvement. 2.

Spent 2 nights in this hotel. Overall stay experience was pleasant. The Good: 1. Front office staff - Very friendly and genuinely helpful. They definitely still have a lot of room for improvement. 2. Clean, simple but functional rooms - Just like other HIE properties, you can expect a simple room layout with no frills features, clean surroundings, and nice bathrooms in this particular HIE. I was fortunate to be assigned a room at the middle of the top floor (11/F), which offers great views of the community. Noise insulation was spectacular as no road noises can be heard even though the room was facing a busy road. 3. Breakfast - Already included in the room rate. I was expecting to have breakfast in the Express room, but probably because of hotel operations, we've had breakfast in the adjacent Holiday Inn restaurant on both days of our stay. Call it luck or an upgrade if you will, but I was pretty satisfied with their breakfast selections. 4. Price competitiveness - This property offered the best rates when I booked my stay on the IHG app. You get good value for the price you pay. 5. Relatively new hotel - The hotel feels NEW overall. The Bad: 1. TV channels - Only Chinese shows are being offered, which may disappoint international travellers. Neither Good Nor Bad: 1. Location - Located across the Hangzhou International Convention and Exhibition Center and 5-10 minutes walk from Wanda Plaza. That said, there is no nearby Metro Stations, so you only can rely on public bus, taxi, or Didi (Chinese Uber / Grab). There is also an outlet mall being constructed just across the street, so a good place to stay if you want to visit the outlet stores in the near future. To/From Hangzhou Railway Station - around 30mins by taxi, approx CNY 50 per trip. To/From East Hangzhou Railway Station - around 30mins by taxi, approx CNY 60 per trip. 2. Location, again - While it's a good thing that Holiday Inn Express Gongshu is located just next to Holiday Inn Gongshu, this causes a lot of confusion for taxi drivers as they can't distinguish Holiday Inn (假日酒店) from Holiday Inn Express (智选假日酒店). You have to be patient explaining this to the drivers in order to drop you off at the right property. Suggestion to the hotel management: Please put up more clear signs within the vicinity to direct flow of traffic. I've been a fan of HIE because I love their no-frills low cost business model, so this is another great stay for me.
