“Best Holiday Inn Express I've ever been in.”

I generally like Holiday Inn Express (HIE) because it provides all the important amenities at a very reasonable price. Stay ay Holiday Inn Exp Gulou Chengdu was the best HIE experience I've ever had. This 20-story HIE appears to be almost brand-new; quality of furniture including bed is very nice and modern. Business people like myself can stay always connected, as it provides both wired and wireless internet in room, and wireless in the public area of the hotel. As for breakfast, the buffet has more items than typical HIE breakfast. Of couse, you cannot expect them to be like those of 5-star hotels but still adequate-to-very good with a good mix between local and western cuisine. Moreover, the breakfast buffet is served in a full-featured restaurant (not in a booth as in typical HIE hotels) which serves lunch and dinner as well. The hotel appears to be centrally located and has two more large-size hotels in the neighborhood. In addition, hotel staff at the front and restaurant speak adequate English and try their best to take care of your needs. I would highly recommend Holiday Inn Exp Gulou Chengdu for all the business travellers in Chengdu.

“Nice brand new hotel”

The quality of the room is really superb: large, sunny, and clean. The hotel was built in 2009 and is really modern. The hotel is about 30-40 minutes from the airport by taxi, reasonably central location. The only issues is that the areas around are a bit shady: street shops, relatively dark, etc. But within 10 minute walk you are on a big street.

“America in China”

Great hotel, could have been a hotel in USA. If you want to feel comfortable this is a great place to stay.

“Excellent Stay”

“Will Be Back soon!!!”

I definitely had a good stay, frontdesk staff were exceptionally helpful, everyone speak english and attentive.The rooms were excellent,hot/cold shower come on instantly and bed were comfortable.

“Excellent hotel!”

We love Holiday Inn Express! The rooms were very clean (as always), and the service was perfect. We'd definitely stay again and again! Thanks for quality service, clean rooms, and a great night's sleep...love the beds and pillows!

“excellent hotel for our stay,nice river view big sized room which is unusual for asian hotels”

Hotel on River Side very nice, Hotel staff helpful and front desk people have good english. Room large by asian standards, clean nice room lacking in English TV channels BBC only. Older area but lovely river walkway alongside hotel. I will stay in this Hotel again.

“Roy Johnson Chengdu experience.”

The hotel was just fine- the local smog was a problem. Service great, the room was good (Aircon took some working out). The windows were always open after cleaning which let in the smog- not nice. Breakfast was great- the service to get cabs was good too. I was not a fan of Chengdu- mainly because of the heavy smog. But I would certainly stay again in this hotel. We stayed in 5 hotels in 12 nights while in China and this had by far the comfiest bed. I can recommend the Panda research facility locally.

“Nice Hotel for the price you pay”

Very clean and conviniance hotel

“Bigger beds for families please!”

It was a nice hotel, but the beds were too small for 2 people to sleep comfortably. The breakfast they served every morning was awesome! The staff spoke sufficient english and tried to make our stay enjoyable. Would definitely stay again.
