Holiday Inn Express CHANGZHOU LANLING by IHG

The environment here is great, and it's very close to the theme park. The best part is the shuttle service, which makes getting to and from the park super convenient. The breakfast is decent too, nothing spectacular but perfectly fine. Plus, the aquarium is right next door, so you can easily pop over there for some fun.

Satisfied. The service attitude was great, and they even gave us some fruit. We arrived quite early for check-in and there were no rooms available yet. The environment is nice, and the location is good for ordering a lot of takeout.

Holiday Inn Express has always been my top choice in Changzhou. The location is excellent, the rooms are clean, and the staff are attentive and warm. A special shout-out to the breakfast chef – he's enthusiastic, professional, and meticulous. Just seeing him fills you with positive energy.

Staying here again! I still maintain this is the best Holiday Inn Express I've ever stayed at. No matter where I go in Changzhou or how much I have to detour, I'll always choose this Holiday Inn Express. The noodle bar chef is incredibly enthusiastic. He welcomes guests at the entrance during breakfast and even recites a little jingle every time I get my noodles. He truly brings a lot of positive energy to the guests. I strongly suggest the hotel gives this chef a bonus!

Great location, right inside the New World Department Store complex. It's clean, hygienic, and the staff are warm and attentive. The breakfast is plentiful, and they even offer complimentary late-night snacks. Free tea and coffee are available at the front desk all day. If I come to Changzhou again, I'll definitely choose this place.

This stay was truly wonderful, a really warm and comfortable experience. The hotel has a classic, old-school Holiday Inn charm with a sense of history. It doesn't chase after trendy 'influencer vibes,' which actually creates a reassuring, relaxed, and very comforting atmosphere. Throughout my stay, from the room and service to the breakfast, everything was excellent and incredibly comfortable. I particularly want to commend the front desk lady during check-in. She was so kind, sincere, and incredibly friendly, making the entire check-in process very pleasant. Often, a hotel's first impression on guests starts at the front desk, and her smile and patience immediately conveyed the warmth of this hotel. Also, a special shout-out to the uncle who cooks wontons in the breakfast area. You could truly feel that he wasn't just mechanically doing his job, but was genuinely enthusiastic and sincere with every guest. A hot bowl of wontons in the morning, along with his warmth and smile, felt incredibly authentic and full of human touch. These small details are often more memorable than many so-called 'high-end services.' What I found truly rare about this stay was the genuine, unpretentious enthusiasm displayed by many of the hotel staff. There was no forced politeness, yet you felt genuinely well-treated and welcomed. A big thank you to every staff member I encountered during this stay, and especially to the front desk lady and the uncle cooking wontons at breakfast. The hotel might be a bit 'old-fashioned,' but within that lies a sincerity and warmth that is increasingly rare nowadays. If I ever return, I will definitely choose this place again. Honestly, it was one of those stays that leaves you thinking, 'That was really good, truly good.'

The front desk service was excellent, and the breakfast buffet was fantastic, especially the 'ma gao' (sesame pastry). It was incredibly delicious, even better than the duck oil pastry I had at Nanjing's Fuzi Temple. The outer layer was crispy and fragrant, while the inside was soft and tender. It was best when eaten hot, right after it was made. The freshly-made noodles offered a variety of toppings, and the chef even gave well wishes, which really brightened my mood! There's also a hidden menu where you can ask the chef to make you a bowl of mixed noodles 🍜. The hotel's location in the mall area was a huge plus. On our first night, it suddenly poured, but we were able to go through the underground parking lot to the mall and enjoy a lovely meal without getting a single drop of rain on us.

The room was clean and spacious. The cleaning staff did an excellent job every day. The breakfast was fantastic, and the restaurant uncle was always super friendly and provided great service! I'll definitely stay here again next time I'm in Changzhou!
