Top China Hotel Reviews

Peace Hotel Beijing

10/10 Excellent

"very nice room very well located"

Holiday Inn Shanghai Pudong Airport by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"As an American traveling to Shanghai, this hotel was perfect for us. The staff spoke English and the breakfast was very multi-cultural, allowing our somewhat picky kids to find tasty things to eat while offering an amazing assortment of new foods to try. Having the hotel located in the airport was a major plus, although signage could have been better. Amazingly, for being located at the airport, this was one of the quietest hotels I’ve ever stayed in. Highly recommend!"
