Holiday Inn Express City Centre Dalian by IHG

Room comfort and condition was excellent. Staff friendly and helpful, with little touches of "extra mile" thrown in (for example I was there 12 nights and when I asked about laundry facilities I got free tokens as I was there for a longer stay). No extra fluff like a bar, leisure centre, car parking - it was all about the accommodation experience. WiFi was free and worked fine whenever I needed it (although subject to the Great Firewall - so arrive in China prepared for that).

Great location and generally a very good hotel. My bed on L9 was very uncomfortable but my bed on L15 was excellent. Heated toilet seat etc on L9 was a welcome surprise.

I reserved 3 rooms but it wasn't at the same floor🥲 but Cherry the receptioner at the front desk changed our rooms and she was so kind to us. it was great experience in Holiday inn

Breakfast selection was good. Room and amenities were great. There is a water dispensor in the lobby which is great for people who drink a lot of water.

It’s close to train station so I can walk to there very early in the morning. You can also walk a few minutes to subway too.
