Holiday Inn Express Beijing Dongzhimen

This Holiday Inn Express has everything you can expect of a quality budget chain hotel. The rooms are simple but spacious. They are also clean and very comfortable, with relaxing massage showers and good beds that aren't too hard - somewhat of a rarity in Beijing.

The buffet breakfast is complimentary and includes a good range of Chinese and Western dishes. There is a fitness center for those who want to keep up their workout routine while they travel, as well as massage chairs that are free to use for all guests.

The location is extremely convenient for public transport, with Dongzhimen metro station a short walk away. This line connects to the airport as well as to various tourist areas of the city, so you can save on taxis during your stay.

It's not surprising, that with this location the Holiday Inn Express is one of the most booked gay-friendly hotels in Beijing.
