Advantages: Rooms, breakfast buffet, swimming pool
Disadvantages: Location could be difficult for some
Location:
Easily reached by taxi, but otherwise not the easiest to get to. On leaving I walked to the nearest train station to get to the airport. It was manageable, but only because I am used to walking long distances with my backpack. With a lot of luggage, a taxi would be a better idea.
************************************************* *********
Rooms:
The rooms are very nice. They have large windows, although the view will vary depending on whereabouts your room is located. Some people might have views of building sites! All rooms have TVs, which show a large amount of English-language programmes and films. The bathrooms are spacious and well-maintained.
************************************************* *********
Facilities:
There is a rooftop pool, which I went in everyday around 3 o clock and had it to myself most days. There was also a gym with treadmills and some other equipment, although I didn't use it so I can't actually remember what it was.
************************************************* *********
Dining:
When booking, there were two price options: either with or without the breakfast. I opted to go for the breakfast, as having a buffet breakfast is one of my favourite things about staying in hotels. There was a very good selection of Western-style breakfast foods and some Asian foods. There were also some muffins and pastries, so I was able to sneak something out to have later for my lunch (I'm sure I'm not the only one who does this!).
************************************************* *********
Overall Recommendation:
I have stayed in a fair few Holiday Inns, and this was by far the best. The overall design of the lobby area was amazing, the rooms were a very good size, and I had a fairly good view (not fantastic during the day as I could mainly just see other hotels, but it looked a lot more impressive at night).
There was also a free shuttle bus from the hotel which drops you off a couple of different locations in the area, which I found very handy.
Summary: The best Holiday Inn I have stayed in
