The Buddha Zen Hotel in Chengdu is a rare find. It’s a wonderful yet inexpensive hotel in a lovely and lively part of the city, near the Wenshu Monastery. The rooms are a good size — mine even had a balcony — with good air conditioning and the ability to open windows. It is really quiet at night, and the beds are very comfortable. The breakfast was good, with both Chinese and Western food choices. In addition, the hotel is pretty and has a lot of charm. Another plus is that the staff is super nice and helpful. My 25-year-old daughter and I stayed here five nights, and we really loved this hotel.

The hotel is beautiful. The location is in the middle of old town shops and restaurants. The staff was friendly and helpful. I will absolutely stay here again.

Unique hotel with culture, find your inner peace in busy massive city

I had a great experience in this hotel! The decoration and the architecture of the building is great! The atmosphere is relaxing and you feel like in a movie. The buffet breakfast was great! They offer variety of Chinese dishes, veggies, noodles, buns, many options to try Chinese food. They also have western options, so you can grab a coffee, toasted bread, milk, cakes and fruits. Definitely you will find something you like here. Personally, I loved trying Chinese dishes every day, there were always something new to try (I spent 5 nights there). My room was always clean, with service every day and also they provide a delicious tea (2 varieties) 💕 I have to mention that the staff was very friendly with me, I don’t speak Chinese, but they speak English so thanks to them we could communicate perfectly. The receptionist helped me to survive in China as none of my apps worked there. The location of the hotel was great! I think I picked the best area, you feel like in a movie or anime, all the streets around are beautiful and very Chinese (I say people I stayed in chinatown of Chengdu lol). I loved so much, even walking around the corner it was an experience. The monastery is very close (maybe 2 minutes walking slowly). All the shops and restaurants look traditional. The food around is great, cheap and delicious. Also there are many coffee shops and tea shops. I recommend this hotel 100%. Clean room, friendly staff, delicious breakfast and many shops nearby.

The best hotel for the centre of Chengdu. I will stay here again when I go back! Great character, great rooms, kind staff, good breakfast. Very well located

Conveniently located, staff was really helpful.

staff were very friendly , hotel is in a nice area with food and shops its quite touristy. Room was large with large bed . its in a open courtyard so will be cold around the rest of the hotel during winter. Breakfast was very poor but overall enjoyed our stay

Super nice reception and lovely room.

This is a lovely hotel with loads of character. The room we had was spacious with a separate seating area. The breakfast was OK, nothing special but it was fine. They say it starts at 7:30, but we went down earlier one day as we wanted an early start and others were already eating. It’s a shame that the spa is permanently closed. It’s not easy to find initially!

This is a small hotel inside of a walking only area filled with a variety of tea houses, small restaurants, small shops and various theaters. Amazingly, the hotel is quiet. The decor is traditional Chinese with a collection of antique furniture and the famous local embroidery works. The courtyard is tastefully designed and decorated to create a feeling of tranquility. The staff was very friendly and nice. The only drawback was that there’s no elevator and taxis couldn’t park in front of the entrance, so luggage had to be hand carried by you, or you could ask for a porter.

Lovely hotel in the wen shu monastery area. Great location. Breakfast was satisfactory. Room was comfortable. Staff lovely. NOTE- Location on Google maps is INACCURATE.

Beautiful property in the heart of the area. Love the rooms and and vibe. The staffs are very friendly and helpful.

It was a very nice place to stay. One thing they need to fix is the smelling bathroom

This is one of the most satisfying and interesting places I've stayed in a city. Close to Wenshu Temple and a fun market and pedestrian street lined with tea "gardens", the hotel itself has beautiful, peaceful architecture and the staff are wonderful and very helpful. And it was an amazing value for the money and where we stayed. Very walkable area and close to great local hotpot places and bubble tea.

Nice staff, clean room, good breakfast. Only problem was my room beside cleaner's utility and they are making lots of noise talking and slamming door early in the morning.

A really lovely boutique hotel. The room was clean, comfortable and had some nice touches. The staff were friendly and the whole place had just a really nice oriental feel to it. Would definitely stay again!

The whole building is an unique structure, it is lime you are staying in monastery.

Pros: helpful staff, beautiful hotel, comfy beds and huge, fluffy towels. Cons: local area is beautiful but completely dead at night. In the morning, you can hear people on the street very clearly.

I would say the service is excellent. Staff are friendly and helpful.

We loved this hotel. Everybody was so nice to us. I would recommend on your next trip to Chengdu.
