Crowne Plaza CHENGDU PANDA GARDEN, an IHG Hotel

I can tolerate a day without breakfast, but can’t stand the non-functional air conditioning.

Very nice hotel and wonderful service.

Xiao Fan provide a good service for us. Thanks

This was a fabulous hotel with a huge room and every amenity. Their free shuttle service to the pandas was excellent. We will always stay here when we are in Changdu!

The most convenient hotel to visit the Pandas. Our second visit. Shuttle bus is good.

5 star hotel with 5 star service! Everyone there helped make our visit special! Would recommend them to everyone and would definitely come back and stay again!

We stayed here on our first night of arrival into China. This hotel experience was EXCELLENT. Highly recommend without hesitation. Everything was perfect, and staff was well prepared to receive foreign visitors. Breakfast buffet was very fancy and included. There was a free and very convenient shuttle to the panda base in the morning only ten minutes away. We didn't stay for the day, but the grounds and pools seemed very nice, too.

Facilities were great, close to panda research center, staff were very friendly and willing to help, but just need to be more aware of customer needs without being prompted. The organization of the sponsors’ tables for our conference could have been better, eg clearer instructions on what to expect before the conference. WiFi was also a bit slow.

Room great size, very comfy bed, great cable TV channels, lovely bathroom. A/C more of a fan so we couldn’t get it as cold as we would have liked for sleeping. Buffet breakfast was very good but food and drink in general was very expensive. You have to eat in their restaurants as there is nothing else around the hotel so you have to pay their prices. Food was good, especially the Chinese food. Outdoor pool closed and we weren’t told In advance. Indoor pool good. Main problem for us is that hotel is really far out of Chengdu, actually in the middle of nowhere. It’s close to the panda’s and they do provide a few free shuttle bus services. If you want to go out in the city at night you’ll need to get a taxi for half an hour which is about ¥100. There was happy hour at the bar but they don’t tell anyone this! We were told by another guest so then took advantage of the offers. The grounds are very attractive and nice to walk in.

Overall, a great hotel. The staff was very helpful and friendly. If I only want to go to Chengdu to see the Pandas, i would stay here again since they are so close. However, if I also want to see the city, I wouldn’t as the hotel is so far from the city center and there is very limited public transportation. The breakfast had plenty of options, both Western and Chinese. The hotel is surrounded by a large residential area so there were a few small grocery stores and restaurants. There was a local market fairly close with fresh fruit and some street food. Beyond that, it required a didi or taxi for anything else.

Overall is good

The rooms were nice and the staff was awesome. the location of the hotel is a bit far from the downtown core of the city. This made taxis kind of expensive

Everything was excellent customer service, rooms were awesome, people are the best

The service wad great, with the exception of one induvial who did not like Americans. It was a long way away from the City Center, but quite. The way we like it. I would stay there again in a drop beat.

Fabulous stay would definitely stay again. A but if a language barrier, but lovely staff

Beautiful room, nice pool and sauna/steam room, truly 5-star. It is shocking that a crooked bell boy running his own side businesses is tolerated in such a place. I ordered a taxi at least 20 minutes ahead. There was no taxi. After another 15 minutes a buddy of the bell boy arrived in his car trying to charge me 4 times the meter rate. The reception personnel didn't see a problem and didn't help. Disgusting.

Lovely hotel, good food, comfortable but two things are stand out - a) close to the Panda park with transport provided by the hotel and b) the local market - go across the major road and into a local market - good deals e.g. genuine Chinese tea set for £30 where could have paid hundreds elsewhere. Only found thanks to the position of the hotel which is great value with very helpful staff.

Excellent hotel, clean and comfy. Spa was good. Has beautiful garden. Plenty of variety for breakfast. Restaurant food not the best however. Close to panda breeding centre.

Great Hotel, My only issue is with their travel desk. Need to be more informed

I travel for work and always book for a King bed room. When I got to the hotel check-in at 11pm, I was given a two double-bed room. When inquiring for getting a King bed room, the staff said the only king bed available is an administrative suite which will cost me if I want it. Usually at other hotels I would have been upgraded to the King bed suite at no extra cost, since it's late and there is no point for the hotel to keep the room anyways. Even worse, when I refuse to pay to upgrade, the staff looked at me like I was a cheap-stick. They certainly do not wish to try satisfying customer, but only doing the most basics. When I check-out and asked for a taxi-cab to the subway station, they arranged a cab that intend to take me to the train station. I have never experienced such a chaos at a hotel anywhere. Certainly the worst hotel stay ever.
