Hi Inn (Chengdu East Railway Station West Plaza)

The hotel is relatively new and looks clean. I believe most hotels do not change the beddings everyday even when there is a new guest checking in. Unfortunately I'm sensitive to smell and I slept through the first night with the previous guest's body odour lingering in the small room. As a self service hotel, one should expect a no frills experience. The amenities listed are indeed present, but the catch is you need to pay for them, be it luggage storage, extra bottled water or laundry. Of course, you can get these services for "free" if you sign up as a member. But you must pay for the membership. Front desk staff are generally helpful but can sometimes provide vastly contrasting information between day and night shifts. Special mention to the young man at the front desk for his excellent service attitude.

Exactly as expected. Extremely clean and quiet. Comfortable and compact. Modern, new and well designed. Amazing restaurant at bottom of building. Would recommend.

Use the Daguan metro exit A reach. High speed train metro walking is not convenient due to construction. Night market for locals just in front of the metro station
