In my opinion this hotel is overpriced for Beijing and has some big problems. The first room we were given , even though we were paying , or rather my husband's company was paying -$250US a night was half-facing a wall, facing cold north so was very dark and was next door to the chamber-maids "room" . We were duely... more

Technically speaking, I can claim to have been to Tokyo, I guess, but the only thing I've seen there is Narita Airport. Similarly, I've been to Beijing, and although I got out of the airport there, the only part of Beijing I've seen is the Holiday Inn Lido, which is almost the same thing as not having visited at all.... more

MY TRAVEL STYLE: I hate business hotels and strongly prefer resorts that resemble the Four Seasons, Aman, and Oberoi but try to find similar properties at lower cost. I seek out the “wow” experiences and I encourage you to view hotels I have stayed at and their respective reviews (by clicking on my name). LOCATION: Good if you want to... more

I stayed at the Holiday inn Lido Beijing for a week and found it to be completely different from other Holiday Inns I have ever stayed inn. This hotel is a 4-star property and has many amenities, such as a large gym, immaculate pool, sauna, beauty center, shops, etc. The rooms are quite simple, but comfortable and impeccable in terms... more

We stayed here in August 06 as a family of 4 2 kids 6 and 9. The hotel is fairly close to the airport a bonus after a long overnight flight which arrived early in the morning. I was surprised when we arrived to check in at 7.00am they had a room for us which was a bonus. The 1st... more

Just returned from Beijing accompanying my husband on his business trip. I arrived 3 days prior and was in my third room due to cig. smoke problems when my husband arrived. That said, I got to know housekeeping and I can say wholeheartedly that they will accommodate you in any way possible. The front desk put me in 2 old... more

From the doorman to the cleaners - the staff are fantastic. A great western holiday in a bustling eastern city. The range of food is amazing. Regardless of which country you are from I am sure you will find foods to your taste. The Buffet breakfast caters for everyone. The restaurant in the evening has fantastic chinese food and great... more

The Holiday Inn Lido is by far the worst of the Holiday Inn's in Beijing. It has been there since the 80's and it seems like it has never had a makeover. The rooms are worn out and the hotel looks very old overall. The hotel bar is one of the worst hooker joints around. Some restaurants are excellent, especially... more

I've stayed at this hotel several times between 1999 and 2006 and seen a steady decline in service. The location is convenient to the airport and the lido complex is nice in having a good grocery store (with OK wine), very good bakery/deli, and a bank of China. The rooms are very comfortable. However, the service is very uneven and... more
