Holiday Inn Anmao Dalian

About this hotel

The pull here is price and nothing else, which is worth saying plainly before anyone books it for a match at Dalian Sports Center. This is one of the lowest rates in the whole Dalian inventory, and it sits a long way out from Ganjingzi, far enough that the taxi run to Zhoushuizi International Airport takes well over an hour. Fans staying here are trading time for money, and on an evening fixture that trade is steeper than it looks on a booking page. Rooms are basic and functional rather than characterful, the sort of place designed for contractors and long-haul drivers rather than visiting supporters. What it does well is exactly what a cheap bed should do: it costs almost nothing and it does not pretend otherwise. Plan the journey west to the complex as a proper leg of the trip, not an afterthought, and budget for the ride back rather than assuming one will be waiting.
