2-Starhotels in Chengdu

Omdat ik vroeg aankwam, kreeg ik van het hotel een gratis upgrade van mijn kamer. De kamer was verrassend goed. De douche en het toilet waren twee aparte ruimtes, wat geweldig was. Er waren ook gratis theeserviezen, theeblaadjes en wierook op de kamer, wat me verraste. Het was zeer voordelig en het was 's nachts niet lawaaierig. De geluidsisolatie was erg goed. Behalve het kussen overtrof alles mijn verwachtingen.

This is such an excellent and cosy place to stay before going up to Xiling Snow Mountain! The owner is so kind and hospitable. Made sure we were comfortable, upgraded our room to a bigger one as we were large group, and ensured our breakfast served was suitable for Muslims. We can use the kitchen to cook our dinner which she gave us complimentary condiments to use. She really went out of her way to cater to our needs. Amazing views of the river from the rooms as well! Would definitely recommend staying here! Will come again

Omgeving: De locatie is erg goed. Beneden is metrolijn 2. Het is erg handig om naar Chunxi Road in Taikoo Li te reizen. Het is ook heel dicht bij de Jiuyan-brug. Er zijn veel heerlijke gerechten in de buurt. Service: De dames zijn erg enthousiast, helpen proactief en zijn erg geduldig. Faciliteiten: Je moet met je kaart swipen om de lift binnen te gaan, en de deur is met een wachtwoord vergrendeld, wat erg veilig is; het 1,8-inch bed is zeer comfortabel; is zeer comfortabel om films te kijken ~ Hygiëne: droog en nat zijn gescheiden, er zijn wegwerptoilethoezen aanwezig en de schoonmaak gebeurt tijdig en zeer schoon. Het enige nadeel: de grootte van de kamer is een beetje klein~

Excelent service. The staff were always very helpful and nice to us. They replied quick in wechat. It is very easy to reach, near to the metro station and a lot of food stores. We arrived very late in the night (like 1am) and still we found food. The room was very clean, as expected in the pictures. They changed our towels and tooth brush daily wich surprised us. We also had a very good view from the windows. We asked for a non smoking room and we were veru happy that didn't smell like cigarettes. Maybe you can smell some times the bathroom but I think is because of the sanitary installations, not the first one that we smelled in China. Very recommended in general :)

Great and convenient location, to the point we extended another night stay. Only 200m to People's Park station, subway Line 2, which can connect you almost anywhere. Able to walk to People's Park and Kuanzhai Alley, even Tianfu Square if you can walk 2km. Also have a convenience store available downstairs of the same building, and Hong Qi store if you walk a bit further. Many tour agencies are on the opposite road, where you can book day tours. The tour bus pickup and drop off points are also only around 1km from this building, easy to walk to due to the extra-wide sidewalks. It's facing the main road so you can easily get taxis as well. The building is easy to locate, but the check in counter is more confusing to find. When looking in from the main road, the convenience store is on the left, so you need to go to the opposite side of the convenience store. You need to walk to the back of the building and find the entrance facing the wall with a car park boom gate. There is a security guard and there are lots of online delivery boxes. Then, access the elevator and the reception is on level 26. There was a washing machine and detergent available in our unit, which we utilized. Other than the clothes hanging bar in the kitchen, the rest of the unit lacked places to hang things such as wet towels. It was a 1 bedroom 1 bathroom unit with another queen bed in the living room. Hot water was always available though you have to fiddle with the lever and wait some time. The kitchen only had a water kettle and a few mugs. There's a primary school right beside the building and you can hear the students every weekday morning. (My photos were taken just before checkout so don't mind the mess) The owners are an exceptionally friendly couple who are hardworking and provide excellent service. They are open to feedback and we've told them what we think was lacking in our unit. Hopefully they will implement the small improvements. They also recommended a few restaurants to us that had good local food and were reasonably priced. Recommend to add them on WeChat prior to arrival and communicate your arrival time. They wait at the front desk past midnight if they don't know the guest's check in time. However, they can only communicate in Mandarin, so you may face some difficulty.

De omgeving van het hotel is goed, het is erg schoon, het bedienend personeel is erg beleefd, de kamer is eenvoudig en stijlvol, schoon en comfortabel, waardoor mensen een zeer comfortabel eerste gevoel krijgen, het verblijf is zeer bevredigend en er is een gratis ontbijt

(For context, I was a black female solo traveller) Location On a long street with many restaurants and shops along the street and a self service ATM 5 -10 min walk away, including a small market in the mornings. It is a residential area, so you will most likely be the only foreigner, but people are extremely friendly and helpful, albeit the stares. The entrance faced the main road and was well lit. There is a flight of stairs that you will need to go up to get to the hostel area. If you have not tried hot pot, I would def recommend going to the Haichiniu Xianxianqie Beef Self service Hot Pot place which is around 5 mins walk down the road. Quite far from the centre of the city however it is extremely easy to get to. During the day, there is a close proximity to the underground around 10 min walk, and there is a bus that I took from the city centre to right outside the hostel door where the bus stop was. If you are going through the night/early morning, it is extremely easy to catch a taxi through apps and it is quite cheap (around 40- 70 yen) and the road is very well lit. I felt completely safe in the area. Service Chu, the hostel aunty is warm and helpful, and gives you a sense of being home away from home. This included being made some home made dumplings to celebrate Golden Week which tasted delicious! She gave recommendations on places to go and made sure that I kept safe when out. As another review said, it can be a bit difficult communicating if you don't know Chinese as no English at the hostel or around the area is spoken and it can get quite draining/ mentally challenging at times for us, however Chu still tried her best to communicate regardless and I really appreciated the effort. To get around this and to make your stay more enjoyable, I would be sure to have WeChat set up prior so you can use the chat translator and have your google translate app out ready. (N.B Make sure you are able to set up the account and get the WeChat validation/security text through your HOME sim/data roaming as opposed to attempting to set up your account on your E-sim which won't work). Facilities It is a hostel that provides what you need. The things that took my British head some time to get around was the shower situation and the bed; namely the shower as it was more typical of an advanced bidet than standard shower. However, it was kept exceptionally clean after my first day there and I did my part of keeping it clean by bleaching it down. The bed is quite sturdy, typical of Chinese beds, so I would recommend bringing a blanket or similar to lay on the mattress so you can get to sleep. There is an upstairs area where you can use the washing machine or wash your clothes by hand and an open area to hang dry your clothes. Make sure you have some cash ready to give to Chu to use the machine. There is a vending machine that you can buy snacks for using the your WeChat pay. There is a seating area at the top where you can sit down and eat, smoke and chat. Once you are used to the different products used (i.e remembering the slippers, using the shower etc.), it becomes second nature and a very comfortable stay (funny story: I was sitting on a desk chair outside my room and being use to the chairs in the UK being quite heavy, I swung myself around and ended up falling off the chair LOL!). Cleanliness Like I mentioned above, the hostel is kept exceptionally clean and I had no concerns around hygiene once I got used to the shower situation. The cleanliness is what I can say was a huge benefit to the hostel. Considering how large the place is and Chu is the sole host, it is kept evidently very clean and Chu will be sure to tell you to tidy up too lool. People in China are not a fan of strong smells/ fragranced things so you will not smell bleach or such products but after seeing a storage room, I can assure they are being used! The photos in the other reviews capture it exactly so you will not be surprised when coming to the place.

De omgeving is elegant en comfortabel, het beddengoed is zacht en geluiddicht, de receptie is efficiënt en reageert snel, en er zijn doordachte details, zoals extra kussens en mineraalwater. Het is de moeite waard om hier te verblijven! De inrichting is verfijnd en luxe, de hygiëne is perfect, de WiFi is razendsnel, het personeel is vriendelijk en behulpzaam, de overige faciliteiten zijn compleet en het hotel is geschikt voor zowel vakantie als zakenreizen. De locatie is uitstekend, dichtbij de bezienswaardigheden en rustig, het eten is heerlijk en lang houdbaar, de roomservice is op tijd en het voelt als thuiskomen. Volgende keer kies ik hier!

De locatie is heel goed, vlak naast de Wenshu-tempel. Het is dichtbij de metro en de bushalte. Het personeel is ontzettend vriendelijk en behulpzaam. Het bed is comfortabel, de kamer is netjes en alles is schoon.

The hotel was good , clean. Staffs were friendly and good. 24 hrs airport pick up and drop off service. Picked me from airport at 2.30 am in the morning. It was much more than my expectation for the price. The hotel is in a rural area away from the hustles of the city. I really enjoyed my stay.
