Gerzin Hotel (Jiuyanqiao, Chengdu)

The loft room was very comfortable. The hotel is also very conveniently located near the Niu Wang Miao Metro station where Line 2 takes you direct to the train station and many other places. The staff was also very polite and helpful. Thanks!

Very spacious rooms for a low price, in a lively neighborhood near many restaurants. However the hotel is quite hard to find (a staff kindly came to get us!) and it was noisy at night. Beautiful view though.

The staff are friendly and helpful. The room is spacious and clean. Very cost effective. We love the bed, so comfy that we can stay in for the whole day. Would book again tho. The entrance is not easy to find but Amap helped. Attach the entrance photo if u need

The room is very good. The ground floor has a bathroom and living room, and the second floor has a bedroom. There's also a washing machine in the room. I really like this place. It's near shopping malls/supermarkets/restaurants/bars (highly recommended, lots of bars and cultural spots), and only 2-3 kilometers from IFS and Taiguli. You can take the MRT right in front of the hotel.

Our stay was three full weeks. tl/dr: Cosy, clean room with great staff, super-connected to the public transport, can be somewhat noisy at night though, especially if you like sleeping with the windows open. The fridge was a little noisy too. :) The wifi is good but no vpn for foreigners, bring your own in advance. Cleanliness: big shout out to the cleaning ladies for doing a stellar job. Often seen on the lifts, corridors or cleaning other rooms, people sometimes just walk by without noticing them, so please pay due respect and say nihao to them, you will get a wide smile, and just about everything else you need in your flat. Location: a short walk to the station with 2 very connected metro lines (see 'Metro' below). Also, many bus stations around, to find the appropriate bus line just use Baidu maps. It would be 5/5 if it wasn't for the noise from the very busy restaurants at the base of the building, usually bustling with people till the sun comes up. Service: as with the cleaning staff that keep everything in order, the supernice people at the front desk often ask you if you need some cleaning, fresh towels, new bedsheets, or just some water bottles (2 a day!), but they're also going to help you with any weird request you can come up with, and if you add them to your weixin contacts, all can be solved in a minute. Kudos! Amenities: a wardrobe would be nice, but we managed three weeks with the provided hangers. Otherwise, the room is fully equipped even if you turn up with nothing but the clothes on you. The washing mashine is also a very nice touch (liquid detergent included), we used it extensively. Metro (牛王庙 - Niu Wang Miao station - exit H2): - line 2: traverses the city centre in the east-west direction, passing some very busy touristy and shopping areas, together with line 1 is the oldest metro line, so the trains are shorter - expect crowds at all times; - line 6: to the south and the north along the ring road, connected to almost any other line along the way. Shares the whole 1st ring road around the centre with line 5, both great to connect to every other metro line that take you to very cool places around and beyond the 2nd ring road. The line is newer, trains longer, easy to grab a sitting spot if you're quick. :) Also, it's at a much shorter walking distance than line 2 (metro stations in China can be enormous). Both lines go west all the way to the Xipu train station if your headed that way, and both connect very well to lines going to the other three train stations and airports. Apart from the not-so-comfy seats for longer rides, the Chengdu metro is truely impressive, and with trains going every few minutes can get you from the hotel to virtually any spot in the city in a short time. Also, station toilets! :)
