**Hotel Review: Aesthetic Excellence Overshadowed by Comfort Failures**
Our recent stay at this supposedly 5-star hotel left us with mixed feelings. While the hotel clearly invested heavily in aesthetics, creating a visually stunning environment that looks fantastic in photos, the design seemed to prioritize form over function, ultimately compromising our comfort. Sadly, this became a deal-breaker for us.
The most glaring issue was the room's ventilation and temperature control—or lack thereof. We visited in early March, and the entire building was excessively heated. Despite being from a tropical country and accustomed to warm weather, I found myself sweating in shorts and a singlet. The staff, though polite and eager to help, seemed powerless to address the issue. They provided us with a small portable AC unit, which was better than nothing, but it was clear from their demeanor that this was a recurring problem for guests.
Sleeping was a nightmare. The only way to cool the room slightly was to keep the windows open, but this meant having the blinds and curtains up, allowing outside noise and light to flood in. The choice was between sleeping in a sauna-like environment or enduring the disturbances from outside. Needless to say, we had a terrible night's sleep and were relieved to check out after just one night.
On a positive note, the service was impeccable. The staff truly deserve recognition for their efforts to assist guests despite the limitations they faced. The breakfast spread was also a highlight—delicious, varied, and reasonably priced, especially if you inform them in advance about adding breakfast to your stay. The room amenities were top-notch, and the spaciousness of the room added to the overall sense of luxury. We got a family suite which was plenty spacious and came with 2 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, 2 bathtubs and a living area.
However, these positives couldn’t outweigh the discomfort caused by the poor temperature regulation. During our trip, we stayed in four different cities across China, and this was the only hotel that lacked proper air conditioning and heating controls. For a 5-star establishment, this is a significant oversight.
In conclusion, while the hotel excels in aesthetics, service, and amenities, the lack of a well-thought-out solution for room temperature is a major drawback. Management needs to address this issue with a long-term fix. After all, no matter how beautiful a hotel looks, it’s hard to appreciate it when you can’t get a good night’s rest.
It was my first time at the InterContinental Shijiazhuang. When checking in, I had to wait for a room. The duty manager Bliss, offered a compensation measure, which made the entire check-in process full of pleasant surprises.
Very clean, tidy and spacious hotel. The window is the golf course. The environment is beautiful and quiet. Wanda is downstairs. Everything is convenient. A very comfortable stay experience

Good business hotel if you have business in the Shijiazhuang High Tech business Zone. The hotel serve only breakfast there is no provision for lunch or dinner. It is new and clean hotel only for business travellers. There is shopping mall just 10 metre away where you can go for quick Lunch or dinner.
The hotel is located in the city center, with convenient transportation and ample parking spaces. It is not far from the Hebei Museum and many delicious restaurants. The room is large, the high floor has a wide view, the accommodation is comfortable, and the facilities such as the gym, swimming pool, and restaurant are complete. The free fruit and children's toiletries kit are very thoughtful. However, the hotel's furniture and facilities are a bit old, and perhaps due to the excessive work pressure, the front desk staff rarely smile.
The newly opened hotel has very spacious rooms, large floor-to-ceiling windows, intelligent controls, robot delivery, convenient parking, and enthusiastic front desk service. There was a small mistake when checking in, and it was dealt with quickly. The breakfast variety is very rich. There is a large supermarket, shopping is very convenient, and it was a good stay experience.
Very good hotel, quiet and comfortable, clean and simple, comfortable linens, convenient parking and rich breakfast. The service staff is enthusiastic and proactive, and actively seeks ways to solve guests' practical problems. Whether it is the front desk, room service, or restaurant waiter, they can all do the following: think what the guests think, worry about what the guests worry about, and have a service awareness that is deeply rooted in the hearts of the guests. Five-star praise, recommended for stay. Come to Shijiazhuang again and stay at Holiday Inn Express…

My first experience in Shijiazhuang was pleasant. Good location with many restaurants nearby. 15 mins away from Liucun subway station which is not too far for me (if you are not in a hurry , walking is a good way to exercise) . Breakfast looks the same every day but i enjoyed so much because of good taste and various kind of food. The room’s clean, and new, bed is comfy. The staffs at front counter are kind and very helpful. Will come back 😆

GGuest UserThe room is clean and tidy, the house is large, the equipment is good, there are many disposable items very attentive, the service is also very considerate, it is very convenient on Wanda, you can go downstairs.
AAnonymous UserCtrip willingly gave this hotel the first review. The service attitude is just right, not overly enthusiastic, but responsive. The child took a nap and asked for a late check-out to 2:30. I was ready to pay extra, but the front desk staff told me without hesitation to ask for it from the supervisor. The most important thing is that the hotel is clean and spacious, and the sleep is comfortable. We arrived very late that day and had planned to go to bed directly, but looking at the clean room, I felt embarrassed to go to bed without taking a shower... I have been to Shijiazhuang several times and stayed in different types of hotels, both more expensive and cheaper than this one, and this one is the most comfortable. The actual room is better looking and brighter than the photo. I will stay here again next time.
GGuest UserThe location is in the city center, surrounded by supermarkets, snack bars, and restaurants, all convenient. The handsome guys and girls at the front desk respond quickly to guests' requests, are strong in execution, and are thoughtful and meticulous. Due to a sudden light rain, the car window glass was dirty. The cleaning lady enthusiastically took out the glass cleaner to help clean it. The restaurant lady came to help operate the coffee machine after cooking the noodles. The room was cleaned in a timely manner. In short, the entire hotel has an atmosphere of passionate service. I have stayed at Mercure in Nice, France, South Hampton in London, and in Guangzhou and Yangzhou in China. The Shijiazhuang Yuhua store is the only one with complimentary drinks, which was a little surprise.
GGuest UserThe room is clean and tidy, the facilities are well-equipped, the surrounding environment is complete, the reception desk is warm and thoughtful, the room sister service is very good 👍, there is a need for customer supplies to be delivered as soon as possible, thank you very much for the service staff on this floor, I drink more water during my stay, I am still doing hygiene and add a few more bottles. I am directly satisfied with my heart. I am very satisfied and must be five-star praise. I recommend friends on business trips to stay in the experience ❤️.
