Getting there
Somewhat walkable
Places to stay are graded on a 0-100 scale. The higher the grade, the easier it is for travellers to find restaurants and things to do within walking distance.
The place was clean, the location of the hotel was not bad. It's well connected, about 10 min from subway and less from bus stops. The staff was courteous and helpful. The bed was comfy and there were four pillows provided (two soft and two not too soft) which is pretty good. We paid about 500 per night, which I felt was good value for money. The room was quiet and pretty well isolated. There was a doorway that could be opened to connect two rooms - great when traveling with children. Lastly, the shower gel and shampoo were upscale.
To be frank, the breakfast was poor. There was some variety, but not much. The available food was lukewarm (things that were supposed to be hot) and just so-so. I was expecting much more from Holiday Inn (even if it's Express). There was a gym, but that's all you could say about it - two treadmills, a bike and an elliptical. There were no free weights or machines. The rooms were a little worn.

Great location and easy to get around! The staff was very helpful. The staff organized a driver for us and we were easily able to make it to the Mu Tian Yu Great Wall. The breakfast was pretty decent (eggs, sausages, bacon, cereals, rice, noodles,etc.)

rested here to celebrate the New Year (2024). I liked the hotel. The rooms are spacious, everything you need is there (see description). There is no refrigerator or minibar, but this is three stars. Clean, well taken care of. The TV is huge, but this is for those who know what to watch in Chinese (we watched Peking Opera, educational :). The lobby staff speaks English or through an interpreter. Breakfast is varied, mainly Chinese, but you can also find something for Europeans - pizza, cereal, milk, sausages. Coffee from a coffee machine, quite good, different options. There are plenty of juices and fruits. It’s not far from the metro, by Beijing standards, about 7 minutes. The nearest attraction follows from the name of the hotel - the Temple of Heaven and the park of the same name, which is quite beautiful, even in winter. If you go along Nan Wei Lu in the opposite direction, to the west, then behind Taiping Street you will find another large and beautiful park worthy of a visit. Right there on the corner of Nan Wei and Taipingskaya there will be a supermarket, offices of China Mobile and China Unicom (5G sign), for those who plan to purchase a Chinese SIM card, it will be difficult here without it.

Overall a good business hotel. rather large rooms, diligent cleaning, quick check-in and check-out. They changed my bed after the first night, because it was necessary. Breakfast is good, although the scrambled eggs are surprisingly clumsy and tasteless. But two big disadvantages: - smoky everywhere: elevators, corridors, rooms. -no sound insulation through the door. Given the noisy Chinese children (and men and women) this is a problem.

Given all the positive reviews, I was a little underwhelmed by this hotel. For the price point it's correct, and it is very well-located to the Temple of Heaven, if a 10mn walk to the nearest metro station. The bed itself was comfortable, but cleanliness was mediocre overall. Could use a fresh coat of paint (dirty walls), the shower wasn't very clean in the corners, and the faucet was loose in my room. Breakfast was not very good, not so much variety. Given how many better hotels there are, not sure I can recommend this property.

Not very comfortable hotel. Very average front desk service. Regular quality breakfast. Location away from tourist sites. There are no places to eat nearby. The rooms smell bad, with old rugs. In short, it is a hotel with an affordable price but of very medium quality.

Good hotel, price/quality ratio. The staff was friendly and helped us call a taxi. The room is good, everything is there. Unfortunately, there is no hygienic shower in the toilet, but this is probably the norm in China, because... I have not seen this in other hotels in this country. And the big minus is that the room stank of cigarettes. Overall, I can recommend this hotel.

Stayed 3 nights in August 2009 (bad month to visit Beijing, its too hot!!). The hotel is either new or has undergone extensive renovations recently, so the rooms are in a really good condition. The free WiFi is fast and easy - both, my laptop and my phone connected without a hitch. They also have free internet terminals (I think there are 8 of them) for guests to use.
The breakfast spread is OK, though not great. The one big problem is a strange smell in the rooms - apparently they have some sort of sanitation issue. However, since we hardly spent time in the room, thats was bearable. Also, the hotel is far from the touristy bits of town (Forbidden City, the lake area etc.), but taxis in Beijing are cheap. However, as we found out, getting a cab suring rush hour can be quite an experience (we waited 45 minutes and walked a few miles before we got one willing to take us back to the hotel one evening).
The best part about the hotel is the staff, especially Mike the Operations Manager - flexible and anticipating guest requests and fulfilling them quickly. Even housekeeping did quite a good job. There was another friendly woman at the front desk, but I forget her name.
On the whole, really good value for money, considering it is an Express by Holiday Inn.

I checked in at 11 pm, no issues. Better if you can inform them, don't call it late check in. Just tell them that you will check in at 9 pm. It should be fine
I recommend taking 4-5 taxis from the train station. (Depending on the amount of luggage you’re carrying) It’s about 20 yuan ($3usd) per taxi. Otherwise it’s a 35 min walk with luggage. The walk is easy, however the sidewalks are irregular and it may be challenging for some. Just a tip, have everyone download google translate app on their phones, and download offline chinese. Then they can type in holiday inn express temple of heaven. Hope this helps.
There are more places to choose from in the Beijing area.
