Reviews

• Kooi from Malaysia – 14 April 2025 (9/10)

  Very close to Liberation Monument (Jiefangbei).
  We used the travel agency in the hotel to arrange two day tours plus our 8 day visit to Chengdu. Very satisfied and happy about it.
  
  What could be improved: Nothing

• Juan from Hong Kong – 6 January 2025 (9/10)

  The hotel is excellent value for money, and the location is great. The hotel is within walking distance from the Food Street and Central Plaza, and the Linjiangmen station in Line Two connects very well with the airport and train station.
  This hotel offers a buffet breakfast, as they mainly receive Chinese tourists, but you are in China, so make sure to enjoy their cuisine, and you will do fine. When we visited in Dec 2024, they had fried rice, noodles, dumplings, sausage, noodles station, boiled eggs, fried eggs, cereal, bread, salad and fruits, juice, black tea and coffee.
  
  Make sure to download WeChat Pay and Baidu Maps to have data; you will need it for everything. As well as to write down the name of the hotel in Chinese. It's easy to locate because the street address is bilingual, but the main sign is only in Chinese. It's a fun experience.
  One important thing to know is that you can actually pay with your Visa or Mastercard for the hotel on arrival. You will notice that both cards are not used in other places, but this hotel accepts them, which we find very convenient.
  
  The rooms are perfect. Some people complain that rooms are a bit old, which is part of the charm of being in China.
  
  I will happily go back to the same hotel again.
  
  What could be improved: Here, I'm being picky, but the only thing we didn't like was the coffee for breakfast. My wife and I enjoy strong coffee in the mornings, mainly sugary machine-made. However, there are three coffee chains just 2 minute walk from the hotel, so there is nothing to worry about if you also like your coffee strong without sugar.
  Another thing is that it is still common for people to smoke in close spaces in China. So you will feel a bit of a cigarette smell in the corridors, but it's all good.

• Rob from New Zealand – 22 December 2024 (9/10)

  Very spacious room. It was great to have a coffee table and chairs to sit at for a few beers after a long day's walk. Fairly close to attractions and metro stations. Staff were friendly.
  
  What could be improved: A few of the features were a bit dated, but this was ok. Everything worked fine. It did take a bit of trying to get the wifi working, though.

• Teyhan from Australia – 3 December 2024 (8/10)

  Great location. Huge room was very comfortable however just a little dated but that was some of the charm. Good breakfast but not many western options.
  
  What could be improved: Small old TV . Bathroom needs updating.

• Jefry from Malaysia – 21 October 2024 (7/10)

  A walking distance from Linjiangmen metro station (Exit 2). Nearby to Hongyadong (Hongya Cave) and Jiefangbei Pedestrian Street. There's a small halal restaurant located in alley behind this hotel as well.
  
  What could be improved: Hotel name sign is in Mandarin only. It might be difficult for a non-mandarin speaker to find this hotel for the first time.
