Budget Hotel Brands in China

Guide to value-oriented Chinese and international hotel brands commonly found across mainland China.

Hanting Hotel

One of the most widespread economy hotel brands in China; useful for city and rail-station searches.

Home Inn

Large domestic economy chain with broad coverage in major and secondary cities.

Jinjiang Inn

Established value-oriented chain with properties in many business and transport districts.

7Days Inn

Budget-focused chain commonly found near stations, commercial areas and secondary city centers.

GreenTree Inn

Economy and select-service hotels with broad mainland coverage.

City Comfort Inn

Value-oriented chain frequently seen in southern and central China.

Ibis / Ibis Styles

International economy brands with selected properties in major Chinese cities.

Vienna Hotel

Popular domestic midscale/value chain that can be competitive outside luxury districts.

Orange Hotel

Design-forward select-service brand in many large cities; often a step above basic economy lodging.

Atour

Popular Chinese lifestyle/midscale brand; sometimes useful when basic economy rooms are too limited.

Brand does not guarantee location

In a large city, two hotels from the same chain can produce very different trips. Check metro access, railway-station distance, airport transfers and the Chinese-language address before choosing.

Independent hotels can still be good value

Domestic chains are useful comparison points, not the only option. Independent hotels, guesthouses and serviced apartments can be competitive, especially in scenic areas and smaller cities. Verify current guest policies, recent reviews and booking terms.
