Holiday Inn Express GUIYANG DOWNTOWN by IHG

The hotel overall is quite small, and with only two elevators, there's a long wait time for going up and down. One of the elevators even had a strange smell. The room itself was tiny, with the sink and toilet combined, and the exhaust fan was pretty much useless. The smart toilet only offered automatic flushing and heating, with no other features. However, the service was excellent. The male staff member in charge of the laundry room was particularly dedicated, friendly, and welcoming. The hotel provided complimentary drinks, and breakfast was decent.

This hotel boasts an excellent location, right in the heart of the Fountain Square business district. It's just a few minutes' walk to the subway, making it super convenient to get to Jiaxiu Tower and Qianling Mountain. Being a new establishment, the facilities are brand new, the rooms are spotless, and the soundproofing is impressive. The bed was incredibly comfortable. The front desk staff were very friendly and the breakfast included local Guiyang specialties. The value for money is outstanding – it's my top choice for both business trips and leisure travel!

Aside from the slightly small room, it had all the necessary amenities. When we visited, there were several tour groups, so breakfast was quite crowded. They also gave us a complimentary bag of fruit upon check-in. It might not be worth much, but it's the thought that counts!

Even though we got a room upgrade, it was still incredibly small. The bathroom was so tiny you couldn't even turn around. This was definitely the most uncomfortable hotel we stayed in during our trip. Despite being on a high floor, it's right at a busy intersection with an overpass, so it was very noisy at night. The sidewalk was barricaded off, making it confusing to figure out where to wait for a taxi. It's neither close nor far from Minsheng Road and Jiaxiu Tower; too far to walk comfortably but too close for a taxi to feel worthwhile, which was inconvenient. The elevators were also extremely slow. All in all, I was quite dissatisfied.

This hotel is brand new. Although the room is small, it's fully equipped and very modern. The stay was great, and the motion-sensor night light is a thoughtful touch for elderly guests and children. The hotel's self-service coffee machine makes good coffee, which is a big plus for me since I need my daily caffeine fix. Upon arrival, I added the butler on WeChat, and the service was attentive. They even gave me a small gift when I checked out. The location is decent; we just used ride-hailing apps to get around, and it wasn't expensive. Highly recommended!

A rather unpleasant travel experience. The hotel was renovated 25 years ago, but due to the original layout, each room is small, and there are only two very slow elevators. The worst part is that there was an opened and partially consumed bottle of water in the room from the previous guest, with very obvious lipstick marks on the bottle's mouth (as shown in the picture). This clearly indicates significant issues with the hotel's hygiene training and housekeeping service. Furthermore, after I explicitly requested a manager to resolve the problem, only a housekeeping staff member came in with three bottles of water, which made me seriously question their attitude towards resolving the issue.

The overall decor is in a lovely beige and cream palette. It's a great choice whether you're walking or taking the subway. Parking is also available on the second basement level, which significantly boosts travel efficiency. The front desk staff were very attentive.

I had a fantastic stay in Guiyang, super impressed! For the price, it offers great value for money. The hotel is conveniently located right on a main road in the city center, and many popular foodie spots are within walking distance. The room was clean, and there were even drinks in the mini-bar. Breakfast had a good variety, with both Western and Chinese options. You need to use your key card to access the floors, which adds to the security, and the soundproofing was excellent. The front desk staff were also lovely. All in all, it was a wonderful experience!

The room is a bit small, but the two beds are quite large. If you have two suitcases, it's a bit difficult to move around. The price is cheap, and the location is good, very close to Minsheng Street. The cleanliness is decent, and breakfast is just average. It's not far from any of the attractions.
