ibis Chengdu Chunxi Road Shudu Mansion Hotel Hotel 1 star

for my first 2 days into south China, I wanted to avoid any surprise and IBIS Chunxi delivered:: convenient central location & easy to find, quiet room, good bed, clean and functioning bathroom, good wifi, seamless check in & out:.

First time I have stayed at an Ibis hotel. Unfortunately it was very hard to locate despite having the name translated to Mandarin. Staff were very friendly and helpful with directions and booking taxis. The hotel is right in the centre of Chengdu and is a brilliant location close to the walking streets and to the subway where you can travel to anywhere in the city. While overall the experience was very good, I expected somewhat more from the rooms which were small and rather spartan for a hotel flying the IBIS flag.

The hotel is in the shopping district. Close to the main square and metrostation. The hotel offers what you expect from ibis. Although I did not see a bar or was itexplained where it was. The staff don't really speak english nor were they able to explain what the city had to offer. If i asked how to get somewhere, the answer was by taxi. Everything was too far or to complicated to do by bus (?). When i wanted a taxi they could not call one and you had to find one yourself. Even carrying two suitcase s. This was a big letdown.

Part of the rooms got Wi-Fi. Overall the room is good and clean, with pretty good value compared to the price. Around 7-8 am every morning there's quite some noise outside of Room 379, which is quite annoying. I strongly advise against eating breakfast at the hotel. Instead you could find some pretty good choice around the hotel with cheaper price and more delicious food.

I loved the room in the hotel, it was well arranged and spacious. The furnitures were very good as well and I found one English Channel in the television as most were in Chinese. The location was also amazing as it didn't cost a lot to move around. The frontline staff were very understanding and was able to communicate a little bit with me in English. They were very friendly and accomodating
