1) Subway station is 30 seconds right across the road. 2) Location is good because it is enveloped by a few famous narrow alleys selling handicraft, snacks, desserts, souvenirs, Chinese artwork etc, and have endless food stalls, coffee shops that surround the hotel, buzzing with activities all day till at least 11pm. 3) Hotel staff speak minimal English but they do understand it albeit not able to converse freely. Naturally using PTH is best. 4) Staff in the entire hotel are very friendly, courteous, pleasant and accommodating, trying to help in any way possible. 5) Bespectacled night manageress in a black suit was very welcoming and sweet. She offered to upgrade us when the room originally assigned for us was not as quiet as we had requested when we booked it. She led us to see the original one ( 2/F )and the other one ( the quieter one on 3/F ) and let us choose. 6) The upgraded room ( 3/F ) was a suite and it was really nice --- very quiet with courtyard view and tasteful lay out. 7) Cannot praise enough for the delightful suite -- spacious and elegant ; super clean ; smells nice , refreshing and just right not overwhelming ; white crispy bed linen ; daily turn down service; endless supply of fresh bottled water on daily basis ; spotless tumbler and fresh bottle of water by the bedside table every evening; everything you touch is spotless ; wooden flooring matching Chinese wooden furniture in simple design giving out this classy Chinese feel ; free to consume anything for the 1st time in the mini bar ; tea & coffee replenished daily ; kettle and coffee machine; free stationery like scissors, stapler, clips, pencil and pens etc; toiletries like vanity set, combs, toothbrush etc replenished daily ; spacious bathroom with double wash basins and clean white towels ; wash basins in rose gold but not tacky; shower drainage not smooth on 1st night but they fixed it and no prob thereafter ; water pressure from shower was good and plenty of marble top inside shower room for your own toiletries ; bathtub with fresh rose petals on 1st night and various types of bath salt ; big screen to watch telly while in tub ; separate toilet near living room; ample wardrobe space and power operated blinds and black out blinds. They provide steam iron on request but it would be better to have a proper flat iron if you want to press pants and other thicker harder material. Steam iron is only good for silk or plain cotton. Even linen is better with a flat iron. 8) This is a 100% Chinese ambience hotel from lobby to our suite but nothing is gaudy or ostentatious because everything is simple, no fuss, low-key, very clean, good architecture, functional and all colour combo is soothing to the eyes. 9) We ate at their restaurant the 1st night and food was ok -- dan dan noodles slightly overcooked so it was a bit mushy. Fried rice was a huge serving with fresh shrimps and nicely cooked. Tea could be hotter. Service was attentive, efficient and proper.

I booked this hotel to compare with temple house and I would definitely recommend temple house over diaoyutai. Despite the no smoking sign there was a distinct smell of cigarette smoke in the room. The room setup doesn't make much sense with the walk in closet at the opposite end of the bed and bathroom. The bed is quite comfy so that's a plus. A lot of the channels on the tv didn't work which was weird because they worked at all the other hotels I stayed at in Chengdu. The original room they gave me was on a higher floor but looked right into the residential building next door so I wouldn't be able to open the curtains hence I requested a room change. The new one was better location wise but the windows were really dirty as if they'd never been wiped. Location is good if you want to explore xuanzhai alley but beware there are A LOT of tourists. Soundproofing is good and you can get a good night's sleep despite the ruckus outside.

My sister came to Chengdu to study, so I followed her here. I wanted to experience the feeling of being hidden in the city, so I chose this place. From the moment I opened the door of the hotel, the pleasure began. Evelyn and Xiao An at the front desk spoke softly, and the service explanations were thoughtful and careful. Including the hotel's concierge, Master Wang Bing, is also very good, giving people a warm feeling like family, which is great. The room facilities exceeded expectations. I have stayed in many gold and platinum diamond hotels. In terms of cost performance, Yiyuntai is definitely far ahead. It is very worthwhile. My sister will come to Chengdu to study in October, and I will definitely come again. I like the fireworks of the alley, and I love the tranquility and comfort of being hidden in the city! Finally, I wish every hotel staff I met this time: good health and success!

During this trip to Chengdu, I stayed at three hotels, JW Marriott, Six Senses and Diaoyutai. Among them, Diaoyutai (now renamed Guanyin Yiyuntai Hotel) is the most expensive and the most expensive in Chengdu, about 2,500 per night. It can be seen that the hardware configuration is quite good and of high quality in first-tier cities, and the French designer has excellent aesthetics. But just like the fundamentals of Chengdu, the hotel software and services are far from matching the hardware configuration. The following is my nitpicking based on the premise that this is the most expensive hotel in Chengdu and even more expensive than Six Senses, which is known as one of the luxury hotels (it is even more "localized" and difficult to describe): Since there is no welcome fruit dessert in the beautiful dessert box on the table, it is empty. Why put it there? One hour after checking in, an aunt timidly knocked on the door to come in and put the fruit. Isn't it unprofessional? There are no napkins in the restaurant of this level of hotel. The breakfast is small and the quality is simple, as shown in the picture. The bar area in the room is full of crude snacks, and the tea bags are TA. Living on the third floor, the smell of oil smoke from breakfast on the first floor will spread to the room. It should not be because of the large gap in the door. I have said before that the original hardware foundation of this hotel is very good. I don’t know what the reason is. After leaving the room, the hotel is dark and dirty. There is thick dust on the windowsill under the patio. There should be a landscape under the patio, but now it is paved with perfunctory stones. Just looking at this part of the patio, it is almost in a small local guesthouse in China. After leaving the room, the hotel is dark and dirty. There is thick dust on the windowsill under the patio. There should be a garden landscape under the patio, but now it is paved with perfunctory stones. Just looking at this part of the patio, it is almost in a small local guesthouse in China. The hotel is divided into two courtyards with a walking distance of 50 meters. One of the courtyards has no doorman, and the front desk is looming. Tourists on the street can break in. At night, the front desk was replaced by an old man. He is amiable and there is no standard hotel language. The problem is that this is not a homestay. The overall service staff is probably a hastily graduated from a domestic tourism technical school with no experience in high-end hotel management. They are timid and enthusiastic, relying on the simple nature of the locals, but there is no standardized management process. The service is not on point, and they can't learn or understand the essence of the "French" style in this luxury hotel. It is estimated that they can serve domestic four-star hotels. There are several levels of cognition. Update: On the second day of check-in, I received a notice from the hotel that breakfast was delivered to the room instead, and the restaurant would not prepare breakfast. The reason is self-evident: the main customer of the past few days, the ********* tour group, left, and there were only a few unlucky guests in the entire hotel, including me, so the cost of breakfast was saved as much as possible. This is the way of hospitality of the most expensive hotel in Chengdu.

As expected, it is one of the best hotels in the center of Chengdu. The staff are very friendly and enthusiastic. Thanks to Evelyn and other colleagues at the front desk for their warm hospitality! The Royal Garden Restaurant is also very delicious!

The decoration and layout of the hotel are remarkable and well worth experiencing. It’s just that the service experience during Happy Hour was poor, the space was cold, and the waiter couldn’t clearly explain what dishes were available.

The hotel is in a good location, right at the entrance of Kuanzhai Alley subway station. The rooms are spacious and most importantly, the service is good. Any needs of the guests will be met as soon as possible.
