Hotel Ascott a Chengdu

A fantastic area, easy access to the airport and city but surrounded by nature with parks and lakes. Newly opened shopping centre nearby. Great walks and cycling on the doorstep. Room was amazing, very spacious and with everything you may need. Great views throughout the hotel, including from the swimming pool; small but special! Reception very helpful, allowed me to store my cycle securely. Breakfast had an extensive choice. Overall service excellent.

Overall a good stay after initial discomfort. I was initially given a corner room with an odd long layout where the door opened to a fridge and study desk in the middle of a corridor with the bed at one end and an old empty cabinet at the other. Space around the bed was too cramped to place luggage, and there was no mini kitchen unlike photos of this room type. The hotel acceded to my second request for room change on the second day (saying it was full on the first).The changed room was as represented in the photos and I could sleep at ease without staring down a dark corridor. I liked that the room sound proofing was quite good, gym was well-equipped, pool was clean and functional.
