Chengdu | A serene oasis in the bustling city

The hotel is located at the entrance of Chengdu's famous scenic spot, Kuanzhai Alley, with a unique geographical advantage. It was designed by a renowned designer, and you can see the representative work of bird cages as soon as you enter. The hotel called in advance and added WeChat to understand the arrival time and needs, and patiently answered all kinds of questions. After arriving at the hotel, the concierge was a very talkative elder, with excellent service, helping with luggage, opening car doors, and introducing various delicious foods. The hotel lobby is small, but the staff will lead you to the rest area, organize all documents, have guests sign uniformly, and while guests stay in the rest area, the staff will come over to check in. The whole check-in process is very comfortable, which is rare to see in China. After check-in, the staff will lead you to the room and introduce the hotel's relevant information and surrounding tourist information. Upon arrival, I was upgraded to a Tianfu Suite, received several vouchers to exchange for small gifts in Kuanzhai Alley, and if it's not enough, you can ask the staff for more. The welcome gift was small snacks, which tasted quite good. At night, they provided hot milk and pillow spray when turning down the bed. The room is about a hundred square meters, with a large bathroom and a big sofa, and the mini-bar with non-alcoholic drinks is free. There is a percussion instrument in the room that looks like a Muyu (wooden fish), with music scores beside it, which you can try to play, quite interesting. Although the hotel is old, it is still well maintained and doesn't look very old. However, this time the room type was on the side, and I couldn't see the bird cage downstairs. The room voucher included a roasted milk, which I scheduled with the staff upon check-in. It's available at the Living Hall on the first floor, where you can have afternoon tea and the popular surrounding stove tea. The environment is quite nice, not too crowded, and we chose an outdoor spot where the staff made roasted milk on-site. The Living Hall is decorated in a Chinese style, and the staff also wear traditional attire. Both the carvings and decorations are very photogenic. The breakfast was average, probably the only downside of this stay. There weren't many varieties, possibly due to a low occupancy rate. The beef noodles and Sichuan dumplings were made very light, lacking the characteristic Sichuan-Chongqing flavor, but the service was quite good. The hotel has a bar and cafe, which is a large area, but it seems to have stopped operating. However, it should be a good place for events. It is said that the hotel also has KTV, a chess and card room, and a private club. The hotel displays many artworks, and scanning the QR code below provides a special introduction. At that time, part of the hotel was being renovated, so I didn't go to the gym. Staying here, you can take the opportunity to see Kuanzhai Alley at night without people, which is a strong contrast to the bustling daytime. Overall, the hotel's service is impeccable. Although it has been open for a long time, the maintenance is still good, and the design throughout the hotel is very photogenic, suitable for taking photos and checking in. The hotel's location is excellent, right next to the subway, with its own parking lot, and it's also convenient to take a taxi. The price is reasonable and it's worth the experience.
