Holiday Inn Resort Chaohu Hot Spring By Ihg

“Far out”

This great hotel is a long way out of town but the hotel itself is so good. Rooms are huge. They have a huge spa bath that has hot spring water in it at 42 degree. So good after a long day out sight seeing. Bed is huge and comfortable. Shower was big and good shampoo. Breakfast is a 4 min walk… Mais

This great hotel is a long way out of town but the hotel itself is so good. Rooms are huge. They have a huge spa bath that has hot spring water in it at 42 degree. So good after a long day out sight seeing. Bed is huge and comfortable. Shower was big and good shampoo. Breakfast is a 4 min walk It is nice to go and have a walk before and after a great breakfast. It is in another building but nice. No public transport around but taxis will go to town and even Uber to bring you home. Loved this place

“Best hotel in the area”

I travel to the area every 3 months for work and always stay at the Holiday Inn. This is definitely the best hotel in the area. I do not stay here for vacation and have not visited the Hot Springs, so i can not comment on that. As an American traveling for business I can say that this hotel is absolutely lovely during most of the year. I just returned from my last trip in October and it was beautiful. Spent every morning sitting on my balcony and enjoying the view before the drive to the factory. The breakfast buffet is great, many options and the food is good. The Chinese restaurant is also very good, luckily I have a Chinese coworker with me to order the food. The things to keep in mind if you are going to book this hotel if you are Western are: 1) it is loud. The hallways are made of marble and everything echoes. You will hear the doors opening and closing down the hallway. You will hear other guests and they will not all be using their "indoor" voices. I have found that earplugs are a necessity for me staying at this hotel, and they work perfectly! 2) it gets cold. If you are going in the winter this hotel gets very cold. Your room will be warm but all public areas including the hallways and restaurants will be cold. The windows are kept open in the hallways year round. Be prepared to eat your breakfast with your coat on. (I have noticed this does not phase the locals, but Westerners are not used to eating indoors while wearing full outdoor gear) This is common in China where there is no "public heat", not a complaint against the hotel, just something to note. 3) it can be smokey. I have noticed that most guests smoke where they want. I have noticed this is also a common theme when traveling in China, this is not specific to this hotel and not a complaint against them. I also havent noticed a difference between smoking and non smoking rooms unfortunately, it just depends on which room you get. But you can open your patio doors and air it out quickly. 4) room assignment. I book my room online through the IHG website. When I first started coming to this hotel I would book a Deluxe room which is bigger than a Superior room and has a separate bathtub. I have noticed that no matter which room I book, even if it is the more expensive room, I get whatever room they have available. So I have stopped paying for the more expensive room because I always seem to end up with the Superior room. Also, I have had some issues with my credit card. Usually the person at the front desk knows which machine to use for my Amex but this last trip she did not. It all worked out, but if you are Western and traveling here and are told that your card was declined, it may be they didnt use the correct machine for your card. Just a tip.

We live in Hefei and decided to stay at the Holiday Inn Resort for the Chinese New Year holiday.

We live in Hefei and decided to stay at the Holiday Inn Resort for the Chinese New Year holiday. Not the cleanest room or hotel, despite having ‘no smoking’ signs and claiming our room is non-smoking, our bathroom reeks of smoke and we have to ask housekeeping to vacuum the floor again. Staying during CNY also made it hard to order food or anything since everything was closed and the hotel doesn’t have many options.
