Having stayed at the HI Express in Chengdu before this hotel, I'll admit, I was disappointed by this hotel. The rooms are smaller than other properties in the chain, and feel run down and tired. Mould in the shower, which seems to be a staple in hotels in China, is a problem here. The buffet breakfast as well was limited, and did not attain the same level of the other HI properties in China. I can't speak for other neighboring properties, but I'm sure with a little digging, you'd find a better deal.

We asked for a non smoking room but did not get one. There was a lot of fungus in our shower. The room was not well cleaned. No refrigarator in the room (when we stayed there the temp was 35°C so it would be nice to be able to cool drinks) The airco did not work properly (filters full with dust).
The hotel had a very bad smell everywhere (reception hall, breakfast room, elevators, corridors, room). The breakfast was Chinese orientated, not international. The tables and floor in the breakfast area were not always clean. The hotel is very far from the center: 15 min walk to the nearest metro station and then again 30 - 45 min to the center (depending on where you want to go) Metro is very cheap and efficient but does not work after 22:30. Would not recommend it if you plan to visit the city. Certianly not worth 3*!!
