I booked this hotel based on the reviews. We never met the infamous Storm even though the reviews on his service were the final factor in booking this hotel. The rooms are exceptionally clean and inviting. I do not know about the location and it did not really matter because taxis are readily available and very inexpensive. This is definitely... more

My hasband and I had a really relaxing stay at this hotel. I will come back agian! more

In April, my wife and I returned from a 7 night stay at the Holiday Inn Central Plaza in Beijing. Always before I have stayed at 5 star hotels such as the Swissotel. We highly recommend the Central Plaza as a less expensive alternative with about the same proximity to Forbidden City. It is located in a nice neighborhood for... more

Stayed at the Holiday Inn Central Plaza for two separate stays, first for three nights in King room, May 115th-18th, 2008 and again for two nights in a double room, May 19th-21st. Upgraded to Executive floor for both stays. Terrific room, great design, free internet wireless in room. No great views to speak of, but this seems typical of Beijing... more

I really enjoyed my Stay at the Holiday Inn. Most of this was due to Storm. I had read about him on trip advisor and he certainly more than met my expectations. He made sure my party was equipped with a cell phone, so that we counld phone him when needed and arranged our three day stay according to our... more

Hotel is equivalent to a 3-4 star hotel in the States. Very comfortable, clean, modern. Great staff. Only downside is that it's not in a very pretty neighborhood and it's a longish cab ride to get anywhere. Had I the choice next time, I might stay in a more central location. more

I stayed at the Holiday Inn, Central Plaza based on the reviews here, 10 out of 10 people whom I told I was staying at a Holiday Inn, laughed. It is everything that's been written here and more, because of Storm and Linda. 1st things first, I found out that this Holiday Inn in the new "flagship" hotel of the... more

My husband and I stayed at this hotel for 4 nights at the start of our trip to China, and one night prior to leaving. We chose the Holiday Inn Central Plaza after studying Trip Advisor. The hotel rooms were well furnished, spotless, with fairly comfortable beds. Two bottles of water, and usually 2 pices of fruit were complimentary daily.... more

We had a large, light and airy de-lux room with a huge window and lovely window seat in this stylish hotel. It was a smokiong room (we had booked non-smoking) but none of the alterrnatives offered were as nice. The vast reception area and the resturant are visually immaculate, but the westernm food in the resturant was dissapointing. The main... more
