On our month tour of Asia we stayed in many hotels, some were more luxurious, but none of them measured up to the uniqueness of this hotel. We just loved it and couldn't fault it in any way. The room was huge and nicely decorated, but the best thing is the public areas. They are exquistic. The service was also... More

What a relaxing place to stay. The service is outstanding from the front desk to the restaurant. Squeeky clean top to tail. Right in the middle of a really old part of town. And many top restaurants just around the corner. Spoil yourself in a unique boutique hotel! More

I grew up in China and as such I've seen the "progress" that China's cities have made in the last twenty or so years since I moved. Millions of cars have replaced millions of bicycles, hideous "Western" architecture has replaced the Hu-tongs and winding streets, and the tourism industry cranks out formulated tours for foreigners and locals alike. The daily... More

Quality and character accommmodation in Chengdu. NIcely done. Worth the price. More

We stayed here for 3 nights. The hotel is located in a renovated/restored tourist district. It's very near the Wenshu Temple. It can be a bit noisy during the early evening but had no problems sleeping. The metro station is about a 5 minute walk. The hotel is styled in that of a old Chinese inn/hotel. Everything is modern and... More

We had 3 nights stay in this lovely traditional Chinese hotel. The front reception staff are very helpful but not all speak English. We had a lovely room that was spacious and the bed was soft (an exception in China). The hotel is situated in a historic area which includes the Wenshu Temple and is surrounded by food stalls which... More

The hotel is relatively new, having been commissioned in 2009 and the city's cab drivers are not very familiar with its location. The compound surrounding hotel is equipped with many stores and...

I enjoyed the neighborhood, and thought the hotel charming. The room was nice, though dark. There were obviously some mildew problems in the bathroom and particularly with the shower curtain. Chengdu is a very humid city. The decoration of the hotel and of the room were quite nice. The heating was adequate. The breakfast was average, as was the rest... More

This hotel, which I booked on advice from a Tibetan guide, is brilliant. It is stylish in the extreme with atmosphere that would allow it to be used as a movie set. Live classic Chinese music, extremely friendly staff (an English teacher would go far), clean and extremely comfortable. I cannot recommend this place highly enough for anyone wanting a... More
