The staff at Holiday Inn Gulou were extremely friendly, helpful and accommodating. Melody and her staff went above and beyond to help me and make sure I was given the best service. The room was nice, and the hotel is in a great location. I will definitely stay again next time I go to Chengdu.

It’s a wonderful place to stay while in Chengdu. The staff here are courteous and efficient. The small things, like fruit in our room, was a nice touch. We enjoyed everything during our stay. Even the pillows had stitched-in notes informing us what kind of pillows they were. The attention to detail made our stay extra nice.

The most outstanding part of this hotel is its breakfast buffet! They have chef quality Sichuan food, not the American Sichuan food that is covered with chili. Real Sichuan food is fresh ingredient, and the purpose of the cooking is to bring out the flavors of the food. They have such a huge layout of the buffet, would take three average stomaches to get one sample of each

No frills hotel and kudos to the housekeeping team. The room is well maintained, clean and quiet. Buffet breakfast is average with local Sichuan choice. It seems like there is not any security during my 2 days of stay. Return to stay 7/10 for value of money and cleanliness.

Overall excellent value and cleanliness, good location, and included breakfast was reasonable. Not so good: staff English is too basic, despite the reviews I saw beforehand that said otherwise. Some staff turned and walked away as soon as I spoke, and when asking for advice or instructions it was often incorrect, difficult to arrive at an understanding of what I was actually asking, or just not useful at all. Wifi could be better.

Location, Reception and cleaning were excellent. Room was a little below my expectations with a horrible view to the rear over the rooftops of ugly older apartment blocks. I booked a double room with King Size bed which was confirmed at check in but got a standard (small) double bed. Breakfast was good, coffee was excellent. We ate one lunch in the hotel restaurant but it is better to eat outside. The hotel is very busy with international guests so breakfast got very noisy. No refrigerator in our room which was disappointing. Room was very quiet at night. 10 minutes walk from nearest subway station. Wifi sometimes rather weak. Otherwise a good choice for a short stay.

這是我見過的最好的服務，飯店人員非常親切有禮。對於初訪成都的我能夠提供我旅程上的建議，給予很大協助。員工訓練做得非常扎實，十分給力。請繼續保持。強烈推薦給大家。這家酒店靠近市中心。此外，它非常靠近地鐵騾馬市和太升南路站。酒店附近還有許多商店，可以滿足各種需求。關於缺點，房間類型有限，早餐有點油膩。 This is the best service I have ever seen, and the hotel staffs are very nice and polite. They are able to provide advice on my journey and give me a lot of help for my first visit of Chengdu. Staff training is very perfect, please keep it. Strongly recommended to everyone. This hotel is close to the downtown. Also, it is very close to the subway Luomashi and Taisheng South Road Station. There are also many stores nearby the hotes, it will capature your needs. About the drawback, the room type is limited and the breakfast is a kind of greasy.

Everything was cool about the hotel except for the staff working at the front desk! They have poor English skills, yes I understand English is not their first language and it is not mine either. But they were not ready to answer my questions. They charged me twice for the room claiming it was not paid by Expedia, and when I checked out they cancelled the second charge (bilked the money back to my card) but they did not even say sorry or show any form of an apology! When I try to speak with one of the staff all the other staff members will be laughing at the language barrier giving the fact I don’t speak Chinese. Gosh they cannot even understand body language or gestures, yes I know these kind of things are culturally bounded but I am assuming they had many international guests. I think the hotel needs to offer English as well as customer service classes to the staff. Thanks god I had friends living in Chengdu otherwise I would have been missed up!

Non smoking room is not truly non smoking. We can still smell the smoke throughout the room. No smoking is only applied to no smoking on the bed. It was written in Chinese this way. Air Con is controlled by the hotel. The room is very hot. When contacted the front desk, the only solution is to open the window. But the street is very noisy and more smoke odor coming in through the window. Pleasant breakfast selections. Room is partially updated. The old phone and hair dryer are so dated. The paint on top of the window are peeling off. Staff are very helpful at the front desk.

We were very happy with our time at Holiday Inn Express Chengdu Gulou. Our room was very nice and the staff was extremely helpful with our questions. The hotel is not on a main thoroughfare so it is relatively quiet and yet it is in a convenient location. The complimentary breakfast buffet was a great value and offered many options which were delicious. We also appreciated the travel office at the hotel. The young woman who staffed the office was very helpful in assisting us with hiring a driver for one of our tours and suggesting that it would be too expensive to do it for another tour and showed us how to arrange travel on the high speed train which was much more affordable.

Good hotel for visiting Chengdu - close to all subway lines. The front counter staff don't know much English so had some difficulties at times having them understand my requests. The room was what one would expect in a Holiday Inn - the mattress and the pillows were great. The bathroom was small but had everything that one would need. The wifi was good and could be used throughout the hotel. The room key lets one up to their floor, which makes the hotel safe. The non-smoking floors are truly non-smoking - no lingering smoke smell in the hallway or the rooms. The air con worked well.

Really good option in the city centre. Our taxi from the airport found it a little difficult to find but otherwise very happy with the stay. Easy checkin, room was bigger than I was expecting with a good bathroom. Good breakfast and WIFI. Easy to get a taxi around the city. Helpful staff that speak English. Highly recommend.

There is nothing to complain about at all and the hotel is what you would expect from a large chain and the staff who are excellent, helpful, friendly and with reasonable English. Breakfast buffet is fine with a range of western and chinese food and rooms were ok size with modern decor and comfy bed and good shower. Hotel is about 15 minute walk to Wengshu Temple but everything else was a taxi ride away - which was fine - there are plenty of them. There is a tour operator within the hotel who can sort out trips to see Pandas although to be honest, just get a taxi there and back - much easier and there is a queue of taxis outside the Panda centre waiting to take you home at around midday. Make the effort to get there early to see them being fed - we left at 7.30am.

I stayed in this hotel for 5 nights... This HIE is great because it has very comfortable bedding and shower facilities! The heating was reliable but made the room extremely dry throughout the night, had to keep moisturizing and but a cup of water at the bedside. The location isn't bad, though it does take around 10-15mins to stroll down to the nearest subway station! There are buses conveniently located, and going anywhere by taxi isn't expensive either, especially if you are carpooling with friends... There is also a business center with computers which you can use for free, so you can make any last minute plans for travels (as I always do) conveniently! Restaurants and chain convenience stores are just opposite the road and around close by. The only strange thing was that the cleaner consistently throws away any boilt water (that you leave to cool during the day), which was kind of frustrating! Haha, nonetheless it was a good quality stay, and probably would stay there again if there is another chance of a stay in Chengdu!

This is a standard business hotel in central Chengdu. They have clean, modern rooms, and a nice buffet breakfast. not all staff speaks good English, but it is acceptable. The hotel is within walking distance to the Tianfu Square (and the metro station at that square) and the central business district of the city. The hotel also has a tourism information office that can help with your questions regarding area attractions.

A very nice hotel located within walking distance of most city centre tourist attractions. The staff were fantastic and always very polite and friendly. Loved the breakfast. Only thing missing for me in the room was a refrigerator to keep drinks cold. A very pleasant stay and would recommend this hotel.
