Holiday Inn Express Chengdu West Gate
The hotel's location is perfect—just a short walk from Exit C of Huapai Fang Metro Station. I could see the hotel right after stepping out of the subway, which made my arrival super convenient. Since I was part of a tour group to Mount Qigongshan, and we wrapped up at Yipin Tianxia station, it only took about 20 minutes to transfer here—no stress at all. The ground floor has a small convenience store, and there are several dining options nearby, so getting food or snacks is never an issue. The room elevator requires a key card to access, and deliveries are only available for pickup at the lobby. While not as convenient as having food brought to your door, this setup definitely boosts security—something I appreciate. I ordered a grab-and-go chicken dish, and it was surprisingly tasty and satisfying. My double room was clean, tidy, and well-maintained. The bed was soft but supportive—perfect for a good night’s sleep. Breakfast was one of the best I’ve had recently: a great mix of pastries, hot dishes, and a delicious spicy dan dan noodle soup. Drinks were especially impressive—milk, coffee, soy milk, apple vinegar, yogurt, and more. What stood out? They offered three types of soy milk: red date, oat, and plain. I didn’t expect such variety, and the red date version was my favorite. Plus, staff happily provided takeout containers if needed—super helpful for groups or guests who prefer eating in their room. One small suggestion: adding disposable toilet seat covers would be a nice touch. Overall, with a price under $250, this place delivers incredible value. I’d definitely stay here again.
