Inns in Sichuan, China

Discovering this Zen-inspired hotel nestled in the vibrant heart of Wenshu Monastery area was truly the most delightful surprise of my Chengdu trip! Stepping into the courtyard, I was immediately soothed by the grey tiles, white walls, dry landscape garden, and rustic wooden decor. The 'Buddhist Affinity' screen in the lobby and the Four-Faced Buddha statues exuded a tranquil Zen charm, and even the staff's 'Namaste' greetings were incredibly gentle. The room featured a Chinese Zen design with solid wood furniture and a tea set by the window. The bedding was so soft that I slept soundly all night, and from the balcony, I could catch glimpses of the traditional Western Sichuan folk houses in the alleyways. The location is absolutely perfect; it's a 5-minute walk to Wenshu Monastery subway station, surrounded by hot pot restaurants and snack stalls, and just a 10-minute taxi ride to Chunxi Road. Although the breakfast was simple, it was exquisite, offering vegetarian dishes alongside Western pastries, and even the freshly ground coffee was rich and fragrant. The staff also proactively recommended authentic local eateries and hidden gems. To find such a tranquil and conveniently located retreat in the midst of the bustling city, offering both serene Zen ambiance and easy access to urban life, is incredible value for money. I will definitely stay here again on my next visit to Chengdu!

This B&B is truly divine, right in a scenic area, right next to the Minjiang River! There's a parking lot just 50 meters away, making it incredibly lively, with plenty of food options, and most importantly, the views are stunning! The room itself is quite spacious! It even has separate wet and dry areas! The small balcony is absolutely stunning, making it incredibly cozy! It's clean, the bedding is very comfortable, and I slept very well. The soundproofing is a little lacking, but it really doesn't affect me. I wasn't woken by anything.

This hostel is an absolute delight for backpackers! The day I arrived, there was a hotpot party, which was a fantastic opportunity to eat hotpot, chat, and make friends with people from different countries, all while improving my English. The hostel is super easy to find, right by the roadside. Just a heads-up, the ground floor is a coffee shop, and the accommodation is on the third floor, so don't go to the wrong place! Downstairs, there's a cool little bar with a great vibe and live music every night. The lighting is perfectly dimmed. If you get bored in your room, heading downstairs is incredibly relaxing! Plus, the hostel offers a washing machine, dryer, and even a gym! Free coffee is available daily from 9:00-10:00 AM, a real treat for early risers! I'll definitely choose this place again next time I'm in town; it's excellent value for money and provides a top-notch experience.

Came here to travel and see the giant pandas. Booked this homestay online. The owner manages it very well. There is a restaurant and children's play. The food is delicious and parking is very convenient. This homestay is highly recommended

Songpan, known as the ancient city of Songzhou, is a place of historical and cultural significance. A sight of the mixing of four cultures: *******, Qiang, Hui, and Han. I stayed in this hotel for two nights and three days. The hotel is clean and gives you a taste of ancient architecture. The hotel manager is wonderful. She recommended great restaurants and helped us find taxi drivers.

The hotel is in the great location and you feel like you moved in time. Room is clean and shower works well. Beautiful courtyard downstairs. Breakfast let us down. There was no fresh orange juice or average food. The room can get hot even with air conditioner on. I did not find it as an issue but if you plan to arrive in August or June it could be a problem. There is a cosy wibe in this place and we would come back. Price is excellent.

I absolutely have to rave about this guesthouse! We stayed here for several nights in Jiuzhai and had an amazing experience. First, a huge shout-out to the owner. Our child suffered from altitude sickness during the night, and the owner immediately brought over Rhodiola Rosea and an oxygen tank. When our plans changed and we needed to shorten our stay by a day, the owner readily agreed without any fuss. The driver recommended by the owner was also very reliable. Oh, and the owner's tea is incredibly fragrant – I even got to sample some, haha! Now, for the location: it's super convenient. It's easy to get to both the Jiuzhai Scenic Area and Chongqia Ice and Snow World, and the town itself isn't as bustling as the area right at the gorge entrance. The guesthouse is located at the end of a road, making it a peaceful retreat amidst the activity. The guesthouse has its own spacious courtyard where we even played badminton. You can also see snow-capped mountains from the guesthouse. Plus, there are two adorable and friendly 'lucky cats' – I even got to pet them, which made me happy! We booked a family room, which was very spacious with large beds that were just the right firmness. There's also underfloor heating, and the room was spotlessly cleaned every day.

The room was quite nice, with one bedroom, one living room, and one bathroom. It was clean and tidy, and there was a yard where you could drink tea, chat, and just relax. It was right in the ancient town, which was very convenient. The owner was very nice. We parked our car in the parking lot, and the owner came over on a tricycle to pick us up with our luggage. The layout of the town is pretty good, with many paid attractions, but they are all newly built and feel average. I wanted to fly a drone, but found it was a no-fly zone, which was a pity.

The paid parking lot provided by the B&B is about a ten-minute walk from the B&B. The walk up a slope, down stairs, and the uneven stone path aren't ideal for carrying luggage. I requested to make the bed in advance during booking, but it wasn't made upon arrival. The waiter said the owner hadn't told me otherwise. The tatami bed was very hard. No mattress or quilt was provided, just a thin layer of cushioning. I tried it, but it was too hard to sleep on. I asked the waiter to add an extra quilt, which was enough to get me through the night. Suggestion: Buying a removable mattress is inexpensive. If the cost is too high, the room can be sold at a higher price, but don't let people sleep poorly. The upper half of the room door is carved with openwork, but there are no curtains inside. It faces the tatami bed on the first floor, and the glare in the morning makes it difficult to sleep.

The staff were incredibly warm and welcoming. While they might have been a bit chatty, you could tell they genuinely cared about their guests. The room was very clean, and there was plenty of hot water. It's also super close to the Changpinggou scenic area. The restaurant downstairs is fantastic too, definitely lives up to its top rating on Dazhong Dianping!
