Chengdu Nanhe Hotel

We would recommend staying here only if you speak some basic Mandarin. If that's the case, this hotel has many pluses: it is located in a quiet area with mostly offices. It is a 10 minute walk to the Jianjiang metro station on Remin Nan lu and a 20 minute walk to the Wuhou temple area which has many shops and restaurants. The rooms are spacious and well appointed with refrigerator and teapot. But the hotel is now 5-6 years old. Our room safe had to be replaced twice during a 5 day stay. And the wifi router was so slow that it was useless. Once we connected to the Internet via the Ethernet cable, we had a decent connection. As a FYI, in November 2014, we found that most Google products including Gmail do not work in China. The staff was friendly and very helpful. The on-site restaurant was decent. Its breakfast buffet had 10-12 Chinese items and eggs cooked to order but the selection did not change much from day to day. There is also a large 7-Eleven on site. The main entrance of the hotel is next to the 7-Eleven whereas the hotel address takes you to the Tea house which is on the Hotel side. One more detail: the picture on Tripadvisor may be incorrect and is certainly misleading.
