Yinsheng International Hotel

“Nice hotel that needs to update its TV system”

The general design is that of an upper class hotel. The rooms are clean. The breakfast is good with plenty of choices. Wi-Fi is complimentary.

The general design is that of an upper class hotel. The rooms are clean. The breakfast is good with plenty of choices. Wi-Fi is complimentary. At this hotel, I have stayed in a large Single bed room, and a Single bed Suite. My relatives stayed in a regular double bed room. The layout of the regular double bed room is pretty standard. The large Single bed room has an exceptionally large bathroom. The Single bed suite has a large EnSuite bathroom. However, electronics inside some rooms need to be updated. The first generation LCD TV's (pre-LED) do not have the same resolution nor the brilliance of current TV's. Some of the set-top boxes can only accomodate 32 TV channels. Needless to say, there is no english channel. The buttons on the small air conditioning control panel requires you to use your fingernail to push in hard in order for it to respond (I complained to the cleaning lady, and this is how she did it). The hotel is situated just off the 3rd Ring Road on the west of the city. It is not close to the tourist attractions. Currently, the closest Metro station to the hotel is the Wuqing-South-Road Station of line 3, which is 2.3km (1.43mi) south of the hotel, 9 yuan by taxi. Chengdu airport is 12.5 km (7.77mi) from the hotel. The fastest way to get there is to take the 3rd Ring Road, then the Chengdu Airport Expressway. That will take about 27 minutes and 60 yuan including toll fee. The shortest way by going down Wuqing south road will take about 35 minutes and 32 yuan by taxi. The airport is also reachable by taking the Metro line 3 inbound for 2 stops, change to Metro line 10 outbound for 4 stops (to Terminal 1), or 5 stops (to Terminal 2). Chengdu East train station is where long distance high speed trains to Beijing, Shanghai & Guangzhou operate from, and is on the opposite side of the city. To get there by taxi typically takes less than 45min over the 3rd ring road. Fare is around 62 yuan. The nearest major supermarket is CarreFour, about 560 meters away. The nearest shopping mall is 2.4 km towards the direction of the city centre, known as Tian Jie which means Sky Street. The offical english name is Paradise Walk. That shopping area consist of 3 buildings in sequence, the middle of which is labeled as Tian Jie, Paradise Walk. There are Starbucks, Pizza Hut, and KFC, among others. There are also Bank of China and Industrial & Commercial Bank of China (ICBC). To get there by taxi cost 9 yuan. Alternatively for the hamburger addicts or non-risktakers, the nearest McDonald is 2.4km away at the relatively new Wuyue Square (400 meters east of the Wuqing-South-Road metro station), and the nearest Burger King is 4.8km away in Joy City. Because it is far from the city center, the hotel's general neighborhood is more like a rual town than a city. As of June 2019, the junction where the main road (Yongkang Road) turns into the road of the hotel (Wuqing South Road) is still undergoing major construction. Because underneath Yongkang Road will be metro line 17, and underneath Wuqing South Road will be metro line 9, the Metro Station Jitou-Zhen is being built at this junction for the interchange of line 9 and line 17. When completed sometime in late 2020 or after, this station will be less than 300 meters from the Yinsheng hotel. Note that the address of the Yinsheng hotel should be : "7 Wuqing South Road, Wuhou District, Chengdu 610045, China" The old reference to "Shuangxing Avenue - southern first segment" was for transitional purpose and is no longer relevant. Even the hotel's official website do not use it. The old "Shuangxing Avenue" is now known as Wuqing Road. Tripadvisor should remove "Shuangxing Avenue" from the address.

“A cheap, good hotel in an inconvenient place”

Let's start with the good. The hotel is a good, clean hotel at an amazing price. The rooms are good and the breakfast is good. However, it needs to be noted that the location is not that convenient.

Let's start with the good. The hotel is a good, clean hotel at an amazing price. The rooms are good and the breakfast is good. However, it needs to be noted that the location is not that convenient. It's not close to the metro, the city center and on the opposite side of town as the famous Panda Center. For a younger solo traveler like myself, I found this to be problematic. I would have liked easy access to the downtown. However, if you're an older couple or a family, perhaps this quiet area is better suited for you. So I would say it depends on what kind of traveler you are. Taxis are really cheap so it's still very possible and easy to take a taxi to see the city. A final note - despite it being an international hotel, much of the staff, while incredibly friendly, did not speak English. I'm still giving this hotel 4 stars because I'm a nice guy, but be wary of the location.

This hotels 4 star rating is Chinese only. It has no pool, fitness centre, sauna and the spa is a Thai massage parlour offering extracurricular activities. Most rooms are occupied by tourist groups and the buffet breakfast is limited to an all Chinese cuisine and also get there early because the tourists start their day early. The English is limited at the front desk so you have be patient. Heavy smoking is present all over the hotel. I advice people to open the windows to air out the rooms first thing. The AC is very weak so be ready for a hot night on a humid day. Even the lifts are not synchronized properly so you will notice 2 lifts open just for one person. Fancy decorations don't make a 4 star hotel service and amenities does.
