Stayed in this hotel with a group tour of China. Overall, the hotel was very nicely decorated. Rooms were adequate and nicely appointed. Located conveniently. However, as the saying goes ****** happens. We checked into our room and within 30 minutes, the electric started switching on and off by itself. We thought maybe they were working on nearby electic wiring or something. After about 10 minutes we looked out in the hallway and found it was our room and the others were not affected. We called our tour director and she helped us change rooms. We got to our new room and the room keys wouldn't work. It took about 18 hours with the manager getting involved before we got new room keys that worked. Don't know what the problem really was but it was an annoyance for sure. Next the phone wouldn't work. Got that fixed pretty fast. In the first room, the minibar was not plugged in or not working. No mini bar in the new room. Had our laundry done at the hotel. Came back on time but everything was not dry. Had to hang our clothes all over the room to get them dry enough to wear. I disagree that the breakfast was very good. It was OK. We have been in China for 10 days now and this was not as good as the other hotels that we have stayed in on this trip. You might consider another Hotel when you come.

“Breakfast made up for several negatives”

My wife and I stayed two nights at the Aoting Garden Hotel. It is not as good as it sounds - for starters the garden is a roof garden - the hotel being located beside a busy elevated highway. A newish building, but looked as if it was 'built on the cheap' The room was small and although the bed … more

My wife and I stayed two nights at the Aoting Garden Hotel. It is not as good as it sounds - for starters the garden is a roof garden - the hotel being located beside a busy elevated highway. A newish building, but looked as if it was 'built on the cheap' The room was small and although the bed (very firm) and the bathroom were clean, the tiled floor was so dirty that my wife cleaned it before we walked barefoot on it. The shower was so slow to empty that the dish overflowed into the bathroom. But the breakfasts were great - imaginative food, well presented. And they opened early on the second morning as we had a very early flight. overall - could have been so much better with a little more care by the management.

“Clean, but in an unattractive area.”

This hotel is in the midst of town, not much in the way of sidewalks, but there are convenience stores, etc within walking distance if you don't mind dodging traffic. The area is a bit gritty. The view from our room was of a nursing home, or low-income housing with people hanging out on the balconi… more

This hotel is in the midst of town, not much in the way of sidewalks, but there are convenience stores, etc within walking distance if you don't mind dodging traffic. The area is a bit gritty. The view from our room was of a nursing home, or low-income housing with people hanging out on the balconies, it was interesting but not picturesque. The room was small, clean and comfortable, a few western items on breakfast buffet. Others in our group reported the same strange bathroom arrangement, where one wall is glass, I guess so you can watch tv while you shower, or a mate can watch you. There is a blind that can be pulled for privacy. I'd probably look for another hotel if visiting Chengdu again.
