Holiday Inn Express Luoyang Longmen by IHG

Fantastic location to the train station. The area was close distance by taxi to shopping mall and eateries. It’s a short ride away to the grottoes. Staff were lovely and spoke some English. Rooms were clean and comfortable. Breakfast had a lovely variety with flavours of the East and West.

It is a super clean and friendly hotel. Location is convenient.

The room was large, breakfast good , close to the station and laundry facilities are an added bonus. The room with a city view is facing the high speed railway and really noisy. The view is very far away. When I asked for a quiet room I was told that the high speed stops at 10.30 but there was a loud drilling sound till about 1.30 am keeping me awake. If you’re a light sleeper do not opt for this room. The receptionist said Longmen grotto is $10 from the hotel but I went to the road and took a taxi which only cost about $1.5. If you want to have lunch turn left and go straight. There are few restaurants near the second signal lights.
