Magnotel Chengdu Taikoo Li Dong Feng Bridge

The staff were all very friendly and very helpful. Good advice about shopping and ground transportation. There was really only one who could speak English, but it's not a luxury hotel so that was not to be expected. No matter what anybody says, a licensed taxi from the airport is a very good option. My return to the terminal at 11.00 am cost me only 55 Yuan, which is a quarter of the price I paid for a car booked online for my arrival. Very nice choice of street food and typical tiny restaurants in the next street, for 15-20 Yuan. Huge shopping complex within 15 minutes' walk and there's a direct bus from one end of it to go and see the panda research centre, for 10 Yuan. Tianfu Square, a few metro stations away, is on a scale that has to be seen to be believed. The man in the street in Chengdu is extremely friendly, smiling and saying HELLO. I recommend both the hotel and the city

A slight tendency to overuse plastic wrap on EVERYTHING (fresh towels, paper cups, toilet articles) to guarantee hygiene, but I'm not sure that is specific to this hotel because it was only my second stay in mainland China. I recommend you ask for a room on the side NOT facing Dongfeng, because DF has a lot of traffic.
