Holiday Inn Express Hotels in Luoyang

I booked this hotel to catch an early morning high-speed train from Longmen Station the next day. It's very close to the high-speed rail station as the crow flies, but there's no direct access, so you have to walk around, which takes about 15 minutes. The commercial area nearby still seems undeveloped. The hotel itself is very new, and the facilities and breakfast are both excellent. I arrived at night and forgot to take photos of the hotel.

We chose the Holiday Inn Express by Kaiyuan in Luoyang for our family trip during the summer holidays. This particular branch in Luoyang is generally superior to the one in Luanchuan, and the service was fantastic. The hotel's location is excellent. It's not far from the Longmen Grottoes and Luoyang Museum, and Yingtian Gate is also within a reasonable distance. Parking is a major convenience here, with two underground levels, which is far better than hotels in Luoyang's old town. My tip for visitors to Luoyang is to park your car here and then rely on taxis for sightseeing and dining; it's incredibly convenient. Upon check-in, we received complimentary souvenirs and fruit, which was a very thoughtful gesture. We also got a room upgrade. Breakfast is served until 10 AM and offers a great variety. A lovely touch was the complimentary old-fashioned popsicles available for guests to take from the lobby entrance on the first floor, perfect for cooling down in the summer heat. Our room was very clean. We also noticed quite a few international guests staying at the hotel. Overall, we had a very pleasant stay.
